I'm a fan of Scandinavian design, and something I see is a thinnish mattress on top of a zero-profile flexible slat foundation. I wonder what the "specs" are on these mattresses? I.e. what densities of foam are typical?

When I do Google searches, I rarely get hits outside the U.S. That may be a configuration setting I can change, in order to widen my scope.

On a rigid base, I can bottom out an ILD 38 talalay latex core, AND it doesn't not feel supportive enough. Over a flexible slat foundation, the character of the latex core changes completely - it feels supportive (because of the adjustable nature of the flexible slat foundation), and there is no bottoming out feel.
