Hi,
Me and my wife are looking to purchase a new queen-sized latex matress and we are considering SleepEz or FloBeds as our main options.

Although, we are located in Canada, so shipping + border taxes + low CAD$ right now are making this a serious purchase.

I am 5"9, 125 pounds and prefer sleeping on front (sometimes on the side).
My wife is 5"6 140 pounds and is a side sleeper/ back sleeper.

After my research, I was thinking about a half-half configuration like this one (based on the fact that we have back problems and enjoy a firmer bed):
Me:
Medium
Firm
Firm
Firm

My wife:
Firm
Medium
Firm
Firm
(with possibility to switch the top layers for side sleeping)

What would be your recommandations for this configuration? Does this sound right? My problem with this configuration is that we won't really be able to switch the layers and try different combinations if not pleased. I don't know if it could be better in that matter. I am also wondering what would be best between Dunlop or Talalay blended (or possibly a mix of both)? Also, who would you recommend best between SleepEz or FloBeds (knowing we need to scope with all these additional cost stated above).
I guess another option to consider is going for a Tempurpedic memory foam mattress, which we could find locally for a cheaper price. Although I don't know much about memory foam and I know people on this forum are in favor in latex. Is there any better options for residents of Canada?

Additionnaly, I don't really know much about the boxspring or slat foundation so any recommandation would be welcome.

We would really like this mattress to be suited to our needs and last a long time.
I am looking forward to hear back from you guys, your help is greatly appreciated.

Kevin
