Mattress Forum

I went testing out new beds yesterday.  I found that I prefer a bed on the firm side but with a cushy top layer.   I'm a side/back sleeper.  I have never really tried a latex or memory foam bed but based on web research, I initially had my mind set on an all latex bed.  I ended up really liking the feel of the memory foam beds I tried though I understand the negative side.  To be honest, the most comfortable bed I found was from Natura World, the Naturapedic Mirror ($1600).   They claimed it to eliminate off gassing and overheating.  Unfortunately this retailer has a no return policy so I will have to find the bed elsewhere if I really want it (there is a 20 year warranty).

The bed consists of 4" plant based soy biofoam base, 2" talay latex and 2" plant based soy memory biofoam on top and covered with wool.  In the store they marketed this as a green, natural bed (though not organic) and the website says its made from 60% green, natural or organic components.  Does anyone have experience with these "biofoams" or Natura World beds? 

Is it possible to achieve the same feel with an all natural latex bed?  I dont need to go overboard and purchase a 100% organic bed, but 100% natural would be nice.

My last question is related to the negative perceptions of memory foam - is it more of a health issue (ie, sleeping on any bed with chemical components will cause health problems), a durability issue or an environmental issue?

Thanks for any help and perspectives, this is a more complicated process than I envisioned!!
