Latex is good. I just bought a latex topper for a 2nd SN bed we have in a spare room. I sleep there too. Latex is my choice as its characteristics are different than memory foam. It has spring back and support whereas the MF just gives in and sinks with body heat. She likes the sinking as she is about 110 lbs. Me at 165 drop like a rock but the outer cover of the big SN in the mas bed helps with that. Plus each side has adjustable air pressure.

One of the best mattresses I ever had I more or less constructed myself. I bought a full 5" latex mattress as a complete mattress with the padded encasement. It was to be used on a solid platform. After awhile I added 2" of the old original MF that I guess was created for NASA. Now that bed was absolutely the best I ever had but beds don't last forever. When I went to buy the 5" of latex again I was blown out the door with sticker shock. So I bought into the air mattress thing. I think the prices of latex materials have gone down with the popularity. I had mine in 1995.

A little bit of fun history: I was doing some work for this rich cat that had 5 houses in 5 different states back in '94. He had a business in NV doing some super secret development in the plastics industry and had General Motors as a client. I was commissioned to build a couple of nice platforms for some of the original foam material. For some reason I didn't and never will understand, he could only get these from Canada and I think they were of European origin.

But once I heard of the concept, I went looking to see what I could find on my own because he was paying $1000's for his imported stuff. I found my original latex at a small family owned mattress factory that got it when it came to building custom mattresses. They are since long gone as most folks who deal with bespoke products.

So I kinda know what I'm doing here but I wanted to hear of any experiences from you folks.
