So my girlfriend wants to buy a guest bed.  She knows I've been looking at this forum and she wants me to recommend something.   It's queen-size and I imagine she wants to stay under $500 or so.  I'm wondering that to recommend.

 

I'm tempted to say 5" of the LUX-R with 2" of 20ILD latex topper.   About $300.  

I'm confused a little, that FBM sells memory-foam mattresses with the conventional foam and memory-foam integrated into one item (http://www.mattressbymail.com/memorymattress.html), but they do not do the same for latex.   But I gather from reading here that's it's a normal configuration to make a mattress from one of their conventional foams with a latex topper.

Web site foamdistributing, you will be able to purchase 60x80 foam in LUX and HD36R, not sheets.(Click on products then Conventional foam mattresses).

Uh yeah, I know that.   The issue is trying to get the higher-quality  -HQ suffix instead of the -R.  Like I said, I thought you had to go to a separate "Open Cell Foam" tab to find that, where it's not available in regular bed sizes.

But I called, and what you do is to go to "Mattress->Conventional", where it appears only the -R is available.    But if you go to the "Custom Sizes" place and enter your bed dimensions and then click "Continue", you will see the -HQ available.   It's kinda confusing, since I don't really want a "custom size", just a regular queen-size.
