Longevity of Latex Foam?

Everyone is posting about how their foam-on-top-of-coil mattresses crap out with permanent depressions after anywhere from a few months to a year.  I'm wondering what people's experience is with the longevity of the latex mattresses?  I'm about to spring for a 10" latex mattress set (yes, all latex) but it's about $2.5k, and I'm worried I'm going to end up with the same problem.  That's a lot of money to lay out to end up with back-wrenching body depressions.

For the record, I am going with the Custom Comfort Mattress Company (local company in Orange County, CA) latex mattress, they use LI blended Talalay latex (Talatech), there will be a six inch firmer core with 2" softer latex on the top and on the bottom (because their mattresses are two sided).

Has anyone here had a latex mattress for a significant length of time (say 3-5 years) and have experience with whether the latex holds up?

MequonJim,

Thanks again for the reply and your opinions!!  I apologize if you've already posted this in another thread, but for reference, could you please let me know what kind of foundation you have your bed on?  I was reading in some of the other posts, that this can really make a difference in how firm a bed feels!  Thanks!!!

I have a platform bed that is very sturdy and the slat spacing is 1.5"  I would consider it very firm with no flex.
