I've been looking for a new mattress and i think i'm either going to go with memory foam or Latex as the choice.  The 2 that i like the most are sealy embody perspective wich is there latex mattress or the Temperpedic Rhapsody.  

While i have found a ton of reviews on the Rhapsody i have found very little on the embody perspective.  I am kind of leaning towards to the Sealy because it should sleep cooler the memory foam, but I’m a little worried about durability as there are hardly any reviews.  THe Rhapsody  has a lot of reviews and seems like it would hold up.  But memory foam tends to sleep hot and i'm kind of worried about the foul smell everyone talks about.  There both price very close, although the Rhapsody  is fixed at 3299 the Embody can be had for around 2900.  

I need to buy locally as i must try it before i buy it.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

sleepyman,

I've got the SleepEZ 10000 talalay latex, and it is exhibiting more pushback than good memory foam.  I have an old injury to my right shoulder.  it's as good as it's going to get, but I still roll onto it.

I guess what I'm getting at is latex may not be as pressure relieving as good memory foam

I tried a Rhapsody again this afternoon.  Feels pretty awesome in the store.  Also the base model Cloud and Contour Select are fairly impressive.

At this point, I would almost certainly need a cushiony topper.  Wool might be quite good, but tough to find in twin xl and non-returnable.  then there's memory foam toppers.  I was hoping to avoid needing a topper.

If you like the Rhapsody, I doubt you'd go wrong with it.
