-Both the motorized base and the mattress appear to be made by Leggett & Platt, http://www.natures-caress.com/ 
-The base is the S-Cape model with the DC motor, massage, and wireless remote options. 
-The mattress is two-sided for soft or firm usage, with 3 layers of latex, and two layers of what I assume is PU foam. 
-The latex is Latex International Talalay, according to the PDF available at the L&P Nature's Caress link: http://www.natures-caress.com/ (Click on "Natures Caress Latex PDF" button)
-There are 3 layers of latex, 6" 32ILD Core, 2" 24ILD on the "soft" side, 2" 40ILD on the "firm" side. (with an add'l 1" each of soft and firm foam, which I assume is PU, on their respective sides.)

$4500 is definitely a lot of scratch for a bed. OTOH, the one Tempurpedic model that we liked in the store, Rhapsody, is $8200 for the same size with motorized base! (Holy crap!)

I know that Costco had the Sleep Science Latex motorized bed last month that cost substantially less. They also have the SS memory foam Emma adjustable bed now for much less. But, the L&P latex mattress definitely seems like a better mat than the Emma . And, the L&P base seems better than either Sleep Science Memory or Latex adjustables (wall-hugger, and US vs China made). So, it seems like a classic case of getting what you pay for. (Although, I could be wrong.)

Also, I have a bit of a problem in regards to my wife. She really liked the TP Rhapsody compared to the Latex mats they had at the store, which were Vera Wang by Serta. I was under the impression that the Vera Wangs were pretty good Latex mats. But, quite frankly, they felt a lot like spring mats. Although, I did like the firmest one. Does anybody know of a high quality mainstream Latex mat that is carried by the major retailers that we could try? I'd rather get latex. So, I'd like to find one that would help me convince her that we should try this latex adjustable from Costco.
