Hi, my first post!
I am new here, and you guessed it!  I'm in the market for a new bed.  I have FM and can't sleep in the same room with my hubby, let alone the same bed!

I went to one of our local furniture stores and they carry latex beds made by Natura.  I now sleep on a Simmons Beauty Rest with a 2 inch memory foam topper.  We have a split king, but my hubby doesn't get to enjoy his side.  We are moving, and downsizing our house so I know our new Master bedroom will not hold a king so I need something smaller, but big enough for cuddle time.

With the memory foam topper the bed is pretty comfy.  But, if I get a new one, I don't think full memory would be good, and I am not sure about full latex.  Natura has a bed with latex and then some memory foam with a wool pad over that.  The specific bed I am looking at is called the Sensation, Under the Natura-pedics beds.

Anyone have experience with this brand? 

Thanks,
Cinnabon

Hi there:  We have this bed and if you can still get to the old forum you can read lots about our experience.  Long story short, we still have the bed in our spare room, only we removed the memory foam and it is all latex now.  Comfortable and very well made bed, our issue was we couldn't take the latex or memory foam on our backs as it led to pain.  We now have a Charles H Beckley spring bed with some memory foam as a topper under a Hastens topper.

IF we didn't have back issues we would likely still be using this bed.  It seems very well made and I do like stretching out on it to read and have the occasional nap - it's right by the computer.  If you already know you like the latex and memory foam combo and it does not give back pain, is is pretty high quality and you should do fine.

Good luck!

thanks for the response.  I don't know how to get to the old board.  I've never slept on latex, so I don't really have any idea.  Do you think you could post a link to your old thread?
Thanks!

i don't know how to do that or if the old forum is available.  I suggest you contact the administrator via email  or PM.

Cinnabon:

If you've never slept on a latex bed, I would suggest finding a hotel that has them and try it a night or two before making a decision.  More and more hotels (and even college dorms) are going with latex because of the longevity, no turning, doesn't harbor dust mites or bed bugs (of which there has been a resurgence on college campuses).  Also, it doesn't transfer motion (the split king didn't work for us, either - the bed frame still transfers the motion).  I don't recall which hotel chain it was in Orlando, but sleeping on one in a hotel (and getting the best nights sleep of my life) is how I knew I wanted to go with latex (still finalizing purchase decision re. ILD of layers).
