I just remembered you have a mattress that you are going to throw out, why don't you cut the top off and put the latex layers on that like Sandman and Jim did?  You don't have anything to lose, just make sure you protect the latex from the springs with whatever they used on the original mattress.  I would if I was throwing the mattress out anyway.  Aren't  you curious on the foam inside?  Just a thought.  You haven't ordered all your latex layers yet; instead of another firm latex use the springs.

The springs are bad in the mattress, I just noticed they're poking out on one side. I didn't realize it was in such bad shape! The boxspring looks ok, so last night I threw the mattress out and put the 2" memory foam, 2" 24ILD topper, and cotton pad on top of my boxspring. It's a little low and hard, but I can sleep like this for a few days until I get the rest of the latex. I couldn't stand sleeping in the indentation anymore.

By the way, I'm just loving my latex pillows. My son tried them and stole one from me!

I don't know how you are sleeping on only 24ILD and memory foam.  You can sleep on a rock, you lucky thing!

I on the other hand am petrified of making anymore mistakes on beds or chairs.  I can't afford to lose anymore money.  I don't trust my instincts anymore, I pick chairs and beds that don't work.

I just purchased a Queen Adjustable Ultra Plush Latex Sleep System from Arizona Premium Mattress Company.  The mattress is blended latex (soft/soft).  My Fiancee and I have been sleeping on it for a week and we really love it!  It feels the same as the 100% natural latex mattress that I had slept on before.  For those wondering where they get their latex, it is clearly stated on their web page that they get it from Latex International:

http://www.latexmattresscompany.com/latex-mattresses-talalay.html

The stamps on my bed cores also said Latex International.

Ken at Arizona Premium Mattress Company was great and answered all of my questions about the latex mattress.  I didn't know too much about buying a latex mattress so he walked me through all of the considerations that I should make before buying.  No pressure at all.  They do make each mattress to order so it can take a few weeks.  The mattress arrived exactly when they said it would.  In the end, I didn't feel that there was any reason I should have purchased a 100% natural latex mattress over the blended one.  It is the same molecule after all.  The blended beds are a lot less money and fit my budget.

Very happy that I could support a small business.  Would buy from them again.
