Thanks Pete!
I figured we'd need to move to coils for better support. Would doing a 3" soft-medium latex topper over 2" improve the comfort for my side-sleeping fiancée? Or is it too thick to risk spinal mis-alignment?

Hi Kevin,
The choice of 3” soft vs. 2” medium soft has nothing to do with proper spinal alignment.
The mattress does that job.
The choice of latex topper is one of surface comfort.
But here, you face something of a trade off because of your sizes.
The thicker, softer topper, while providing more comfort, but will require more frequent replacing than the thinner, less soft topper.
There is a financial aspect to this and my recommendation was geared to maximizing your dollars.
My wife and I are each over 200 lbs and sleep on the Suite Sleep 3” Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper, which tends to need replacing every 5 years, or so.
To maximize the life of the topper, regular flipping and rotating helps a lot.
Also, the choice of the Brolynn in Plush over the Brandy-Lynn Firm will also enhance comfort without sacrificing the spinal support you need.
With inflation being what it is, my recommendations tend to keep economics in mind, especially with larger people.
But there’s no question, the Wolf Brolynn Plush Mattress and Vita Talalay Latex Topper will combine to relieve your back pain and maximize your comfort.
What you’ll sacrifice in durability isn’t really all that great, considering the high quality of these products.
