Hi Pete,

I'm looking to buy a mattress and am looking for some recommendations. After reading your blog, I think I'm looking for a firm mattress and a latex topper.

I've always liked a firm mattress but my hips are starting to want something a little softer. I'm a side sleeper and weigh 220, Thanks.

Regards, Megan

Hi Megan,

You're on the right track. Adding a soft latex topper to a firm mattress provides support and comfort that lasts.

At your weight, the mattress that has worked best is the same as we had tested at home....with each of us at similar weight as you.

It's the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in luxury firm. The topper to use with that is the 2" Talalay Latex in Soft. The comfort is amazing, and with no loss of support.

Here are links to that mattress and the latex toppers.
