Help! Help! I'm about to decide!

I'm almost ready (I hope) to make a decision. I compared both SleepEZ's 10,000 and 13,000 models with FloBeds' Posture Select & Posture Deluxe models in both blended and natural/organic. I've made myself a pro/con/price chart between SleepEZ & FloBeds, and SleepEZ comes out way ahead on the price, which is a huge deal for me. Including foundation, legs and shipping, SleepEZ's top of the line product comes out for less $ than FloBeds' cheapest product. There are no sales right now at FloBeds, and I know people have said they followed the site daily and ended up getting refunds as sales occurred but I probably won't do that for 90 days.

Unless someone can tell me something that makes the $$$ difference worth it, lets assume I'm going with SleepEZ. But I have just a few more issues and hope anyone with experience can help me out. 

1) What are the reasons to get the 13" mattress over the 10"?

2) Blended vs. natural Talalay... still can't decide who is right and who is wrong on this!

3) SleepEz says I can mix Dunlop and Talalay layers, is there a good reason to do this? Like Dunlop for the bottom layer(s)?

You sound just like me two weeks ago. Now I'm cursing my latex bed from SleepEz. Shaun is great,

and I still love my bed, but my back is sore, and cannot find the right combination like so many others on here.

Dunlop is probably what we should have got for the bottom. Talalay is just so soft. My husband kept saying he wanted soft,

and now he sleeps on firm and extra firm. But he still hates the top layer of soft we both share. It also has weird smell, that I try and tell myself doesn't bother me. and I pray it doesn't bother the new baby.

I was so excited about this mattress, I told everybody I could about it. They said I could sell them. I have people lined up to buy them, now I feel stupid because I don't want them frustrated like I am.

But I still don't want to give my mattress back. But it is like a big freakin cake!. My husband has rearranged the layers so many times, we have forgotten which combination we can even live with!. It also stirs up little pieces that fall off everytime you handle it. Ours already ripped in the corner.

I hope you have a better experience with your bed. I am thinking I should have maybe bought off the guy from the Arizona company. I saw him put the bed together on Youtube. His mattressess core is 6" then a soft talalay on top. That just made sense to me, but I didn't go with my gut.

Just kidding, I'm saving my angst for after I've slept on the bed a couple nights.

I think there is a tipo on the Sleep EZ website regarding the cover. It is clearlly not 2oz, maybe 2oz per sq ft.

The Sleep EZ cover is 1" thick... cotton ticking with a full inch of lambs wool inside.

They told me they used to have a thicker cover but it did little save to add deeper body impressions... so they scaled back to 1"!

As for heat with latex, it's usually an issue of the top layer, or all of them, being too soft. Try a firmer layer, especially at the top.

Once I got my bed I realized it must have been a typo. It's fine so far.
