Haven’t you thought about softer mattress. From what I see, Loom and Leaf offers very firm mattress (8.5/10) which may be uncomfortable for many people. Standard firmness is 6-6.5. From what I see in ratings Tuft and Needle mattress has great ratings, [this blog](https://sleepissimple.com/) even posted it on the first spot overall before other mattresses and it has 7.5 points on firmness scale meaning that it is quite firm.  
About topper - I don’t really see the reason for you to use it. As for me, it is just a way to save money and revitalize your old mattress. Topper is simply a one layer of mattress foam and isn’t needed if you have a good mattress.  
Anyway, the best way is to try different mattresses and which one is the best for you. Fortunately, all manufacturers offer 30-120 days return policy
