Talalay + Serene ? Need help for senior PLEASE

🇨🇦 I am a disabled pensioner, F thin 58Kg side-sleeper with chronic pain trying to improve my mattress (Sealy Posturpedic 500 Hotel Sleep System in great condition).

It is a good mattress. But I have increasingly weak bones and muscle loss so I need something to compensate for that.  It may just need a good “pillowtop“ that is not too thin and that provides more pressure-point relief for my hips and shoulders without pushback or bottoming out and provides some plushness and thermoregulation.

**UPDATE: After shop testing, I have ruled out Talalay and now narrowing it down to Dunlop with Serene**

I have become increasingly confused and overwhelmed by conflicting advice.

here is what I am considering to add to my existing mattress:

I think I might like my top layer to be natural latex plus a sheepskin overlay on top but I am not sure what depth or ILD softness for the latex.

I wonder if 2” soft talalay or Dunlop over 1-1.5” Serene foam would be the sweet spot for relief without bottoming out or is there a better configuration for my body?

please help! by the way, I am in Canada with limited budget so I cannot afford to invest in several things that do not help so your expert recommendations and experience are most appreciated. 🙏🏼
