I happened to be looking at a Stearns and Foster 97% latex mattress just for fun (I was really there to look at their Intellicoil pocket coils which are made from one wire twisted into a spring within a spring; very ingenious design). Anyway as I was trying out the latex mattress a representative from S&F was there and asked me if I had any questions! Boy, did I! I am sure he did not expect to encounter someone who was well-versed in latex specs and who in all honesty probably knows more about it than he did.
However, he made the claim that natural latex will NOT last as long as synthetic latex (i.e. retain it's positive properties). I said I had heard different and was...

Savvy rest offer's a "do it yourself" latex mattress in either Dunlop or Talalay but they are much higher in price than others with the same materials, flexibility, quality, and construction.
A place that carries all of the choices you mentioned (as well as other high quality latex mattresses) is here (I suspect from...

Vancouver Island is paradise and is the CENTER of the world. If it's not important to us ... it's just not important :)
OK on to some mattress talk ... cause that really important! (laughing)
There's a place on Fort st http://www.goodplanet.com/ and they have a couple of what look like Sueno and Greensleep. They are all very nice mattresses and are also well worth laying on as the Sueno's especially are easy to duplicate and both are good quality.
Sleep country also carries the Zenbody by sealy. One of them is all latex (core and top with no poly believe it or not) and one of them...

What about a Comforpedic? Or one of their "NaturalCare" latex mattresses?

Just keep in mind some 'latex' beds are just maybe a couple or few inch layer of latex. Example is Serta Vera Wang latex collection. Some of them are probably alright, but I hated the price they wanted. Didn't like the Simmons natural care - mattress too high. I don't like mattresses much over 10" height.
The thing with the layered all latex in a cover is it...

Serta sells a $1,600 twin 8" mattress (Vera Wang where you're paying for the fancy cover) set which felt inconsistent between 2 stores. There are no Sealy latex mattresses around. Simmons makes a Natural Care that was decent, but the stupid thing is a 13" height mattress when it doesn't need to be. The choices are very limited.
Anyone venture why? Is it that latex is hard to produce? Expensive? Too heavy? Most don't like the feel?
Memory foam is all over the place and often found stacked...

Ok, Just wanted to throw this out there ...
did you try the iComfort Genius? Reason I say is because Genius is the firmest of all of them. Top layer is the gel, but under that is a firmer layer, forgot what they call it. I've tried Genius in 2 stores and both the same, firmer feel.
Not to harp in iComfort, but the price is quite a bit easier than TP.
And not to harp on Latex either, but I've tried the Laura Ashley latex at Sears, yuck, Simmons Natural Care latex, just ok. I already spoke about the Eco-Cloud / Clarity above. Sorry...

What's causing the bed to retain heat is the petroleum based sythetic foams used in the top layers of the bed. Recommendations given to others in the past are to add natural materials between you and the synthetic stuff. Natural materials unfortunately are not inexpensive. Most recommend a thick wool topper, a latex topper, or both.
Lower threadcount sheets are also a great idea. Get percales if you can afford them. Because every thread is woven over every other thread, these breath much better than sateens. I'd also recommend 100% cotton. I just picked up a king sized set of Percales which were...
