GdeTrailer,
You expressed my exact thoughts better than I did :)
Lamination is the key. The memory foam will contour infinitely better than straight foam. But getting the exact grade of straight foam is important. I have a bed that is a Mexican special. The bed had maybe 91 out of 98 springs working -- I laid on it and counted them. First came a 2" firm foam section. Too hard. Then a 3" medium foam, still too firm. Then I doubled over a king mattress memory foam and like Goldilocks, absolutely perfect. But the memory foam was imported from the USA so what I got was all there was.
Four inches of some soft grades collapses to an inch, no stinky bueno and if it's too firm I stay 4" higher and the foam does not do anything but cause pain.
We have a local foam store but the prices are not friendly. Single-bed bare foam width and six feet long cost me over a hundred fifty dollars then a memory foam 2" was another hundred and something. There is a type of upholstery called "Theater Fabric" made of nylon and polyester.
With the tips given, I will start searching tomorrow.
Thanks
