My New Mem Foam / Latex / PU Mattress

So, after months of lurking in these forums I finally pulled the trigger on the following config:

3" Sensus from SleepWarehouse
2" 20 ILD FBM Talalay Latex
2" 32 ILD FBM Talalay Latex
3" 36 ILD FBM HQ PU

.. and a zippered velour cover from eBay.
All Eastern King sized.

This definitely took some getting used to (having never slept on a foam mattress), but it is extremely comfortable and I finally sleep through the night without tossing and turning.
It is highly temperature sensitive though and I sleep much better if the ambient room temperature stays around 70 degrees.
 
Everything arrived within about a week and didn't take long to setup even though I went at it alone.  I had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of maneuvering the foam due to the combination of its weight and the nature of the material (especially the latex).  Getting the cover on properly, while still keeping the layers lined up has been a huge challenge.

Currently I'm looking for a good inexpensive low-profile platform frame.  If anyone knows any reliable inexpensive sources, please let me know..  ;]
