I have been a long time lurker and this is my first post.
Let me share my story with you first as to why I am not asking for a latex or memory foam mattress (which would be my choice).
A year and a half ago my fiance and I bought a new Spring Air Four Seasons Ultra Plush mattress from J.C. Penny. We spent about $1,300 for the mattress and loved how amazing it felt in the store. Prior to this, I had a Plush Sealy Posturepedic that was about 10 years old and still was great, but when we moved in together I sold my furniture as my cal king bedroom set was too big for the bedroom. Since my plush Sealy Posturepedic was so comfortable and durable, we though that an ultra plush Four Seasons would be the ultimate luxury. Oh...

Like a lot of folks, it seems, I'm trying to decide between the Coscto 100% latex in king and the Sam's Club 100% latex in king. Both seem to have their merits and are priced about the same right now. I do like that the Costco one is flippable to different firmness levels. And there certainly are a lot more reviews of the Costco mattress. I've read through all of the posts on the subject, but I'm still not sure which way to go.
I'm also considering the Simmons Natural Care Forevergreen Cushion Firm from JC Penney, mostly because we have a JC Penney Home...

Another option, is to cut the mattress open and insert a 1/4 inch plywood between the top layer and foundation layer. I understand the top layer of latex is only 2" thick? Is this possible?...

First post here! I just discovered this forum and it's nice to see a group of knowledgable people helping each other out with something as difficult as mattress shopping! We've been looking at all types of mattresses and found we don't like Tempurpedic, like the Sleep Doctor - Dr. Breus all latex bed (know anything about this bed - type of latex, will it get body impressions, etc.?), and like the Sealy / Simmons innerspring with latex topper beds. But, I like the idea of an all-latex bed, yet they're pricey, I don't know what type / quality of latex is used in these and whether it will hold up, and I hear horror stories (user reviews) of the mattresses developing cavities / body impressions that lead to people sleeping in a valley... I want to avoid that!
Anyway, I'm intrigued with the comments here about things...

The Sealy Embody has 3" of what they call smart latex on top and that is on top of 7" probably HR base. There are only these 2 layers so there is no poly on top. They describe their smart latex as "continuous pour" so it is likely LI dunlop. Whether this is natural or blended is open to question but it is latex for sure. Even all synthetic latex would be less likely to develop body impressions than any polyfoam. There are some mattresses made by the "S" companies that use natural Dunlop and also Talalay (probably the blend) but IMO they are way overpriced and they mostly spoil them by adding polyfoam in the wrong places. The highest content of any of them is the Simmons natural care elite (Uses Talalay) which only has a 2" layer of poly and this is in the support...

Using more expensive mattresses with higher quality materials in a mattress store can be an invaluable research tool in finding a much much less expensive mattress with similar qualities in a much lower budget.
They are well worth trying out along with the Serta pure response and the Sealy embody just for the information you can gain from knowing which of these fits you. This information could be very valuable in choosing a different (and much less expensive) bed with similar characteristics.

Failing that, I would either
1. Widen your search a bit to neighboring states and then do most of the work on the phone before you take any trips.
or
2. Go to local mattress stores and lay on mattresses that are mostly latex (Sealy springfree if you can find them or embody, Serta pure response, or Simmons natural care and natural care elite, or any other latex mattress that they carry that has mostly latex in the top). Do most of the work...

He showed me three Simmons Natural Care mattresses. I asked if they were entirely made of latex and he told me they were. There was one of the little construction cutouts by the $1800 mattress, and at the bottom was a 2" lay of foam -- clearly NOT latex all the way through! There was one for $1500 and one for $1800 and I asked him the differences between them a couple times. All he could tell me was that the foam densities were different. I asked him for numbers, said I was a computer guy and wanted to...
