Zortania, I know how you feel since when Rockaway Bedding Delivered the Simmons Roosevelt Mattress, I was amazed at how I could not breath when I was in the same room as the mattress. I tried airing it out and covering it but sleeping on it made me cough and get so hot and nauseous.  I had to sleep on the floor in my storage room and was better there despite my allergies to dust and dustmites than in my own bedroom that had that mattress. I guess they use a lot of fire retardent chemicals and the polyurthane outgassing in a smaller space than in a store must just bother people like you and me that must be chemically sensitive.  I used to always have a stuffy nose on my very old spring mattress but nothing like I experienced with the new bed that I had to send back...

Nick, both Flobeds and SleepEZ have the choice of natural Tatalay Latex or blended Talalay Latex.  The processing is the same and the cleaning they do of the latex is amazing since the blended latex does not bother my allergies.  The blended is a combination of synthetic and natural latex from a rubber tree that they blend in a mixture with air and go through the same processing as the natural Talalay Latex.  The Natural Talalay Latex cores are 3" thick while the blended Talalay Latex Cores are 2.8" thick.   My Flobed latex kit mattress is a combination of both natural latex cores and blended latex cores. I tried to stay with all natural but I needed firmer than a 36 ILD and needed some 44 ILD latex cores to make my bed as firm as I like it so I had to get some blended latex cores that surprisingly...

I did not realize FloBeds was having a sale on Go Green and their adjustable foundation was the same price as their fir foundation.  I always prefer as much natural materials as I can in my sleeping environment so that is why I went green and then I had to make a decision to take two of my latex cores away (the 4 layer version I have since the 4th layer is a topper: one natural latex core on each side of my bed was exchanged ) and to add the 44 ILD blended latex core on each side to give me the firmness that my back requires.  I have a slight scoliosis that I had all of my life and now with the car accident in August, I have 5 herniated disks and I think I finally readjusted my bed to work with my new back problems. I was so...

I do not feel well but it looks like I will not get much work done anyway so I will try to respond to this question and then make sure I am in bed early tonight. 

I would not go with the adjustable foundation. I went with the split pine slat foundation with 10" legs and this is just fine.  But at first the pine smell bothered me (did not bother my allergies but I just do not like any smell when I am sleeping but most new stuff has a smell at first ... even the natural latex cores I had to air out for a few days but then they never bothered me and never bothered my allergies)  but after several days it went away and now I no longer smelled the pine smell. 

The less latex core layers the firmer your surface will be since you will be closer to the slat foundation. ...

If you can find the new Serta Pure Response line of 100% latex, I think you'll really like the way they feel. I just discovered them yesterday and if I wasn't already happy with my zippered mattress, I might give this serious consideration. I loved the way they felt! Especially the plush model. Comes with a 30 year warranty. Pro-rated, of course. But, since latex doesn't show body impressions, I imagine this mattress will last a long time. I liked it better than the Sealy Spring Free line.
