For those with latex mattresses with split core layers for individual comfort on each side - is there ever an issue with the seam between the two sides? Do the pieces ever move around on you, does it open up a little, or can you feel the seam when lying on it?

When you say 'soft top layer', do you mean replacing the convoluted or putting it where? As for working with me, they are, but it's not like I'm getting free components to keep trying. There's a cost (discounted though it is). The question is how much to keep spending...

I was referring to the 3" layer under the convoluted layer, assuming your bed is set up as I understand it - with three 3" layers and the convuluted on top. I dont know what youve tried already, but it sounded like you had medium and firmer to work with. Maybe the pressure point relief of a full 3" of soft beneath the convoluted would help.

You may feel the seam if the 2 sides are of different ILD's. Personally I just avoid laying in the middle where the seam is. ;-D

I've use zoned latex - latex pieces cut into thirds for my feet, lumbar and shoulders - and never felt the seams were a problem. They move a little from time to time but unless it's right where you are putting the weight of your shoulder or butt or such, you are not likely to feel it. Obviously some do feel it but I think most do not.
