Help choosing transition layer
I am building my first diy mattress. A bit of background.
I am 5'1, weigh 130 lbs and I would say I am a combination sleeper but a majority on my side. My husband is 5'6, weighs 200 lbs and is a side (60%) and back sleeper.
I have fibromyalgia and deal with a lot of muscle and body pain. I do best on all foam mattresses. 20 years ago I had a great mattress that was a foam base with a latex topper but was unable to replace it and have struggled since. For the past 6-7 years we have been using a Novaform ComfortGrande with a 3" soft latex topper. I need to replace the mattress every 2 years max to stay comfortable. So I thought diy might work better for me.
Here is what we are thinking of trying. I am just unsure how many inches the transition layer should be. I already have a brand new 3 inch topper.
Base: 6 inches of HD36
Transition: 2 or 3 inches of latex 29ild?
Comfort: 3 inches of latex 19ild
Would 2 or 3 inches of 29 ild work better for the transition layer? Is there much of a difference between the two options?
Any help or advice is much appreciated!
