OT: Latex based mattress
So our bedding set is at least 15 years old and has a indentation where my hips land. It is a good mattress,upper end sterns and foster but nothing last forever.
We are both side sleepers and I was looking into the latex based mattresses. We are looking to stay under 2 for a medium firm. I found a couple websites that manufacture both pure latex as well as latex hybryds. Any latex sleepers out there? I would like to hear what you think about them and how long have you owned one. Thanks Brian

me - 6 years
when i was looking i strongly considered something from these guys:
https://sleepez.com/pages/compare-ou...BoCHA8QAvD_BwE https://sleepez.com/products/natural-latex-mattress/ but then one of my neighbors was moving and had an organic latex mattress that was simply a big slab 9 inches thick for which she sewed a custom zipper cover. i already had a wooden platform from my previous mattress. she sold it to me and i have been on it ever since. i don't have anything to compare it to but it suits me just fine. if anything it may sleep a little warm but i have it covered with mattress pad so no bother really. thing is the mofo weighs a ton so it definitely stays put and would take 2 strong guys to move it.

Have one of these - like it a lot, no issues - bought it when living in MA so could call out and check firmness etc

We've had a king sized one for about fifteen years. Solid latex rubber and as others have mentioned....very, very heavy. Nothing wrong with that, but you are not moving it anywhere by yourself.
Ours has a soft side and a firm side...but really it feels more like a firm side and a firmer side. This is not soft cushy feel at all but comfortable. We have a fairly soft and thick mattress cover and that seems to work well. The only downside is that this mattress doesn't breathe at all. This is solid rubber and tends sleep a bit on the warm side. Not horribly so, but you might notice it in the summer and perhaps sleep with fewer layers than normal. Our sits on box springs instead of a wooden frame and it seems to work well. It also provides a bit more "bounce" to the overall feel of the bed. Last, when we bought ours...it was more expensive than standard mattresses but supposedly this is offset by the longevity of the mattress. Good luck.

We’ve had a Casper for quite a few years now and love it. Last year we gave it to our daughter after winning a king size tuft and needle in a raffle. We got their most expensive model I am forgetting the name now...
Both are great and I’m not sure I could pick if I had to recommend one. The Casper is slighter firmer on top but overall they sleep pretty similar.

Good mattress pad takes care of any heat issues, also consider a cotton or wool topper. We went with a latex hybrid - springs covered by latex then wool from nest bedding. It is lighter, so we actually strap it to our metal frame. 3 years now going well.

i have a casper wave hybrid (springs+foam, per above).
it's a bit higher than your budget, ($2500), but it is rather...um, amazing. best sleep ever. fancy hotel beds are now disappointing.

Get an avocado mattress and be done with it.

I have a sleep on latex (soft) and its still pretty firm. I have another 2" topper on it and helps a lot.

I very much doubt anyone here is likely to go this route, but my $100 futon is over 5 years old (not exactly sure on the purchase date, but it was a while ago) and it's still great. My "bed" consists of a few 2"x 8" boards cut to match the width, with some 2" spacers between them so they don't move around.
I can't for the life of me figure out why people spend so much money on beds and mattresses. Think of all the money you could save to use on fancy bike parts...

I also have a Spindle for almost 2 years now. I find it very comfortable. In the winter it starts out cold, a lot of thermal mass there that takes a while to warm up. I prefer latex for the springiness as opposed to the molding affect of memory foam. I am an "active" sleeper, so the latex responds faster for me.
Spindle treated me exceptionally well over an order discrepancy. Latex and Spindle both get thumbs up from me.
