1- Personally I don't think Serta/Sealy/Spring Air/S7F/Simmons are even in the same league as the 'green' brands. Anyway, I can't help there as I am biased towards any of the chemical-laden beds. As haysdb said, 'assembling' the bed is really easy and doesn't take long at all. The hardest part honestly is getting the latex out of the bag as they are really stuffed in there. I will say that I have not found natural talalay to be as supportive as I'd like. If you go with that, expect a very soft mattress no matter which firmness you choose.

2- Natural latex does have a very strong odor but it's not what you're thinking. I'm very sensitive to all sorts of chemical odors and this is not one of those smells. It smells like some sort of dessert - seriously. My wife and I love the smell of it and...

It really is hard to know what helps us have that perfect night of sleep. When I was working fulltime and on my feet all day, as well as mentally exhausted, it was a lot easier to fall&nbsp;into bed and quickly fall asleep.&nbsp; Of course, I was also younger and not menopausal. That right there can change the whole dynamics of a good night's sleep. Just like having small kids who want to share your bed.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Still, I can't help feeling I'm a bit obsessed about having even the slightest body impressions on my mattress. I'm not sure if that contributes to my lower back pain or not. It's not like I'm sleeping in a crater or anything! My mattress will be a year old next month. I honestly can't say that I've been 100% satisfied all these months. Or just when I think it's perfect and I'll never need to...

Greetings..  I'm in the market for a new mattress and have been wading through all the thoughtful commentary on this board..  There's a lot of technical info within and a lot of folks with a far stronger need/desire to spend the time customizing and re-customizing their mattress for that perfect fit..  With that said, I'm wondering if anyone would take a moment to help answer a few basic questions:

1 - If possible, I'd prefer *not* to go the kit route.  If I can walk into a store (in NYC) and buy a quality latex mattress, I'd be thrilled.  I've seen the Serta (Vera Wang), Spring Free (Sealy) and Nature's Rest at Sleepy's. (I think I liked the Vera Wang best thus far).   I know I can check out the Stearns & Foster and at least a few Englanders and Naturas locally.  Given these options, does one brand/line stand out from the others...

>>Everything says that the pillowtop will mash down if its PU foam. As you noted though, you're not bothered by that so np. :)<<

Thanks for explaining the Sealy Foam.  Pillowtops can be made of different things, including quilted latex and memory foam.  I may not have to replace it and we haven't chosen, yet.   Some of them felt fine to us so we're trying to shop around for the right one.  We never tried Serta latex, just the memory foam.  Comfortable.  Can't say much else about it. 

(I just want add that I have foam cushions in furniture and pillows that have never broken down and some of it is15 years old and used every day extensively, including our sofa ( which we often sleep on) some chairs, a loveseat and pillows.   I am sure it has to do with the quality of the foam manufacturers use and I know it can vary, as...

Many of these brands get their latex from the same place, Latex International.  Here's a link to their website that lists the mattress lines and pillows that use it, along with some other information which is really interesting.  It does contain natural talalay latex, but not 100%.

We tried some Sealy Spring Free and the pillowtops were comfortable.  The best prices I've found on this type of mattress are at Costco.com, the Stearns & Foster Kirkland Series, and Samsclub.com, who has a model by Serta with latex and memory foam called Grand Villa with a cashmere top.   We live in a pretty small town, so don't have much to choose from locally and the prices are usually higher. 

We're looking for one that has memory foam with a latex core and a natural cover.  Not in a kit, preferably a pillowtop.  If it should smash down, and there is no saying it will, we'll put something else on...

Ok, in the old forum I asked a question about the Simmons Exceptionale mattress as I was mainly concerned about all the negativity on the net about them.  Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger and got the Exceptionale Extra Firm from Macy's here in Florida (the Vanderbilt "Ashton").  My take/hope on it was that most of the issues were related to the compression of the foam layers in the pillowtops (people reported them developing valleys, etc) and not the core mattress/springs.  I had a Sealy with 4" of latex that had significant depressions and didn't want a repeat.

The mattress was delivered over a week ago and sleeping on it was actually a bit rough at first.  While my wife didn't have any problems, I did have some issues with getting some sore spots if I ended up sleeping on my side.  In addition, I found the the combination of...
