Mattress Forum

 I had a couple of quick questions regarding a latex mattress.  I'm just starting my research, been lurking here a couple of weeks,

 * One website claimed all latex mattress pieces are made 40”x80”, and then glued together to obtain the desired size?  Is that true?

 * Will using a metal bed platform/frame (such as the Boyd platform) damage the bottom of a latex mattress if placed directly on the metal frame?  I assume that is how it’s intended to be used?  Is there enough wide-spread support in the metal frame to prevent the wire supports from cutting through the bottom of the latex?

 * I am a heavy guy, weighing 425 lbs and 6’ tall.  I sleep alone, and will be getting a Cal King.  What height mattress would be recommended? 

* I'm in Northern Ca, the Bay Area.  If anyone has any recco's for field testing locations please advise!

 Thanks everyone, your input is greatly appreciated.
