do a lot of research.
You might be able to solve your problem by using a wool filled topper. Cotton toppers will get very hard over time but wool does not.

I got a hybrid, springs/some foam and it is working well. There is a Zinus brand on Amazon and the ones made in Italy are great for no off-gassing of chemicals. It had no odor when I opened the box. That is a big deal because you will be exposed to whatever chemicals are used for quite awhile. Europe has higher standards for safety than does the US.

Another mattress I got about the same time was horrible for chemical smells. It was made in the US (Washington actually) and I had to leave it in the hallway to off-gas for weeks - and then it still smelled of chemicals.
