$2800 for an unproven product is a lot of money.  What I mean, is that the icomfort is very new to the market.  Only time will tell if it's a proven product.  Most memory foam mattresses are made to look good and have some great selling story, but don't live up to the hype (Sleeps cool, super long warranty, etc.).  If thats your choices (Stearns or icomfort) you may want to stick with the more traditional stearns for $1000 less.

I think Tempurpedic has a couple of choices close to that $2800 range with the adjustable base. As far as I'm concerned (yes, I'm biased, it's what I own), the Tempurpedic is the only time proven memory foam out there.  I personally know people that have had their Tempurs, for close to 15 years.  They are not cheap, but they are a long term investment.

Check with retailer, but I believe pretty much all the Simmons mattresses are fine on adjustable bases.  I've been told most S brand coil spring mattresses are fine on adjustables.  You'd want to avoid any old school coil mattresses that have border rods in the mattress.

Simmons have individual coils and should do fine on adjustable.  I've seen a Stearns and Foster which has individual coils on an adjustable base, but there's a lot of heft in the mattress, so it doesn't conform really well to the adjustable base.  To be safe, it would seem smart to test the mattress on adjustable in the store. 

Foam mattresses will conform to adjustables.  But I didn't like the feel of my all latex mattress on adjustable.  On box spring, it was springy.  On solid top adjustable, it felt much deader. ...

Ginger,

I had a Stearns and Foster innerspring plush bed, brand new from Sears for about 4 weeks in June.  They had warned it would firm up after a week or so and it did.  I would imagine that firm Beautyrest firmed up quite a bit and is making things worse.  Think I mentioned before, but I have a not so good right shoulder, injury, arthro surgery years ago.  anyrate, so in July, I exchanged to a very plush iComfort memory foam mattress. Didn't take long to notice there was something special about a memory foam mattress - I could lay much longer on that right shoulder. I would always turn off it quickly before.

Funny thing is I tried a $100 Sleep Innovations 2.5" gel memory foam topper over my latex bed.  Not good.  It slept hot, I sunk in and pressure relief / comfort...

I used a Costco 2.5" Sleep Innovations gel memory foam topper for one night on top of my all latex bed .... and that memory foam slept HOT.  I sank mostly right through it and pressure relief wasn't great.

Can't speak for the mattress, but top layer is same as the topper I used.

To the OP, I think the Stearns and Foster / Sealy patterned 'box springs' are better than the Serta / Simmons I've seen.  Reason is the S&F's have a consistent 4" spacing between vertical support rods.  The Serta's box has an 8" gap in the middle support rods from head to toe (at least on the twin boxes).  There are surface rods that run head to toe, but the vertical support is 8" apart.  The result - sag in hips up to shoulder area.  That's what happened on my iComfort twin box...

This is initial quality and opinions of a Tempurpedic Cloud (regular) on Advanced Ergo adjustable base and / vs. a SleepEZ 10000 blended Talalay all latex mattress on box spring.  I've had the Cloud for two weeks and slept on the SleepEZ for 4 weeks.  I've just set them up in two different rooms and one or the other in on a potential chopping block for return, or I might keep both.  The Tempurpedic gets the prize for most comfortable so far, but the SleepEZ is quite good also. 

I found both of these mattresses are more comfortable than a Stearns and Foster traditional mattress I had for 4 weeks (it had individual coils, was the entry level Sears calls 'Hearthstone'.)

Tempurpedic Cloud -

Pros:

* Very soft and comfortable.  Pressure relief for hips and shoulders is unmatched on any other bed I've ever slept on. ...
