Updating Build - Help/Feedback/Suggestions?
I'm a little over a year into my build that I got from the TPS. I purchased the Split King kit and added a Talalay Latex topper from SleepEZ.
Setup:
- 15" Organic Cotton Cover
- 2" Talalay Topper - Medium
- 3" QuadMini - 15.5g
- 8" Quad Coils - 15.5g
Base Support
- Bunkie Board
- 15 Oak Slats with center support (.75" x 2.5") spaced 2.5" apart.
Me (M): 33, 5'9", ~210lbs, Side and Back sleeper now (prior to building mattress, I was a stomach sleeper all of my life)
Wife (F): 30, 5'6", ~160lbs, Side Sleeper
Context: I purchased the kit with the intention to include foam layers to make it a 15" bed. When I set the mattress up, it was so comfortable with just the coils and latex compared to the Serta slop (hindsight) that we came from, I decided not to add the foam.
Now fast forward a year later and we're dealing with coil lean and some shifted/bulging coils. I've since readjusted everything prior to this post but hindsight is that I obviously left too much slack in the mattress (15" cover with 13" layers) so I'm planning to tighten it up with a cover but now i'm thinking, what if i modify it a bit more. Is there more comfort to gain? Or should I leave well enough alone? I know comfort is pretty subjective but curious on opinions. Options below:
Option 1:
Keep Current Build and move down to a 13in cover. Looking at
- TPS Premium Mattress Cover?
- APM Bamboo Wool Cover?
- FloBeds says theirs only fits 12in Mattress
Option 2:
Modify a bit
| Option 2A | Option 2B | Option 2C |
|---|---|---|
| 15" Cover | 15" Cover | 15" Cover |
| 2" Talalay Latex - Medium | 2" Talalay Latex - Medium | 2" Talalay Latex - Medium |
| 3" Quad Mini - 15.5g | 1" Dunlop - Medium | 1" Dunlop - Medium |
| 8" Quad Coil - 15.5g | 3" Quad Mini - 15.5 | 3" Quad Mini - 15.5g |
| 2" Lux-HQ Base | 8" Quad Coil - 15.5 | 1" HD36HQ Foam |
| 1" Lux-HQ Base | 8" Quad COil - 15.g |
Thanks for your feedback!
