I can't even sleep in a Queen with my husband anymore. I need room for my pillows that surround me! :)
I can't give you an an opinion about the latex bed you are looking at, but there are people here who can. I would advise you though to go with a queen size mattress. Your individual tossing and turning will not impact each other nearly as much with that much more room, and you will get a much better night's sleep. We are fairly small people (me: 125 lbs, him: 150 lbs) and I can't image sleeping in a full size bed especially in the summer when it is hot. If you are spending that much money, it's worth getting the extra comfort a larger sleeping area will give you. And if in the future you end up with a king size and this becomes...

Since your husband and you prefer different comfort levels on your mattress, I suggest (when you find the space), you invest in an Eastern King size, only in the form of two Extra Long Twin mattresses and foundations. Put them in the same king frame. That way you can have your side as firm as you want and he can have his as plush and cushy as HE likes. This is how my husband and I have slept for the past 15+ years or so. And, yet to look at our bed you would think it was all one King mattress. We use King bedding which ties the bed together, but at the same time two XL Twins allow us to move independently, as well as choose our own comfort levels.
Best wishes to you!

And if in the future you end up with a king size and this becomes your guest bed, your guests (especially if they are larger) will really appreciate not having to squeeze into a full size bed.

National Allergy has the best selection of encasements (mattress, box, pillow, comforter) for the $ I've found.
I also have bought casings to prevent dustmites from www.nationalallergy.com, they have pretty good prices. Bed and Bath sells some but they aren't as cheap and probably not as good either.
Even though I have allergies and asthma I have not used a dustmite cover for the past few years. I have not wanted to spend the money on a set since we changed from a king to 2 twins. But I do want to get some. I did have a bad bout with asthma last year but I am not really convinced it was due to a lack of mattress/box springs covers. Maybe, maybe not. I think in my case it has more to do with forced air gas heating which seems to make my asthma act up.
Anyway, I was...

Wow! Thanks to everyone who responded. We appreciate your advice! I know that we are toally strange, but *MOST* of the time we enjoy snuggling in our full sized bed. There are nights, of course, where one of us is sick or restless, and then it can be exasperating, but that's what the guest bedroom is for. Usually once he gets settled, we're fine. It's the cats that really wish the bed were bigger. If you can imagine the two of us and three huge Maine Coon cats sharing a standard full...
My husband and I finally found some latex beds to "lay/lie" on today. We went to every single mattress place near our town. The sales people pulled out all the stops trying to convince us what we should look for in a mattress ("You'll want the latest innovation: a no flip mattress!"). We let them show us everything, and were quite entertained with...

I have been web researching for weeks and I am trying to make the final decision on a latex mattress. This is a cold purchase for me and my husband, as we have been unsuccessful in finding a single latex mattress to try out in our town, even for a few minutes. I have spent countless hours researching online, reading reviews, scanning buyers guides, comparison shopping, nit-picking, etc. I even ordered a latex and wool sample from one of the websites that offers them for free. Yet every morning I wake up groaning in my awful, 17-year-old sagging bed and swear that today I am going to bite the bullet and choose a mattress. And then I end up here at 11 pm, not wanting to crawl into bed, but fearful of hitting the "confirm order" button on the checkout page.
My husband and I have decided to buy a latex mattress for support, durability, and allergies....
