They have 3 beds that are all latex. Even the most expensive version has 15% synthetic. The middle version is 80% synthetic latex and fiberous materials. I'm guessing the cheap one is all synthetic latex and 'fibers'. Anyone have any experience/opinion with them? Not much details on the website on specifics... The "5 comfort zones relieve pressure on your shoulders and hips" is a bit sketchy to me.

They are attached to each other with a polyester ribbon stapled into the wood - kinda like a Jacob's ladder. There are other slats out there, but the LADE are the cheapest at $30. For a queen size bed, you'll need to get two sets of slats. Once the frame is assembled they'll sit side by side next to each other (there's a galvanized steel midbeam attached to the bed to help hold them up). The bed frame is fairly inexpensive as well ($199), but it's made out of particleboard with a birch veneer. If you prefer solid wood, the HEMNES collection is made out of pine. Our setup is fairly sturdy - I think the bedframes / slats / mattress can easily handle your weight. Just don't jump up and down on the bed. :) Hope this helps! How are they different then the one you have? Thanks. This message was modified Jul 19, 2010 by roy1

Roy,
We just purchased the Hemnes king frame and the Sultan Laxeby slatted foundation for our 10" Sleep Science latex mattress. It's a bear to put together, but I really like the Laxeby. It's got more "spring" than the standard flat slats. It's also got adjustable firmness levels. So far, I am really happy with the choice of the pricer Laxeby slats. The IKEA guy tried to convince me that their latex was 100% natural and that I didn't need 10". I am not sure I agree with him. I forgot about the weight issue. I weigh a lot more than you and have no concerns about the ability of the frame and slats to hold my weight. This message was modified Jul 19, 2010 by calliaz
