OT: Latex based mattress

[CO_Hoya]

We have a queen Latex mattress that consists of a 2x2 stack of Latex slabs, 3” each with a single 3” Latex slab on top. The slabs range from soft to very firm, allowing each side to have its own firmness.

Very satisfied after about 6 years.

We have had latex mattresses from Flo Beds since 2001 and we refreshed one layer in 2014. My wife is a warm sleeper so something that breathes well and allows for us to adjust the firmest on each side has worked out very well. Like CO-HOYA ours are slabs of different firmness that can be layered to get just the right comfort for each person.

Been on my latex mattress for about 5 years. Bought locally (Nest bedding) so I could change out the top layers if it turned out to be too firm or too soft. I kinda like that tuneability.

Mine is comprised of about 5 layers of 2 or 3 inch slabs of a mix of dunlop and talalay latex, I think. I can't recall now.

Latex is cooler than memory foam and supposedly, is also bug resistant (mites, etc). Supposedly eco-friendly and renewable which I thought was a cool perk. Anyway, I stayed away from foam since I'd heard it slept hot and again, latex was supposed to be more breatheable than foam.

Yes, like others have said, it's heavy.

And yes, I totally went down the rabbithole and read thru mattressunderground.

Overall, pretty happy with mine.
