They have 3 beds that are all latex.  Even the most expensive version has 15% synthetic. The middle version is 80% synthetic latex and fiberous materials. I'm guessing the cheap one is all synthetic latex and 'fibers'.

Anyone have any experience/opinion with them? Not much details on the website on specifics...  The "5 comfort zones relieve pressure on your shoulders and hips" is a bit sketchy to me.

Roy,

 

We just purchased the Hemnes king frame and the Sultan Laxeby slatted foundation for our 10" Sleep Science latex mattress.  It's a bear to put together, but I really like the Laxeby.  It's got more "spring" than the standard flat slats.  It's also got adjustable firmness levels.  So far, I am really happy with the choice of the pricer Laxeby slats.

The IKEA guy tried to convince me that their latex was 100% natural and that I didn't need 10".  I am not sure I agree with him.

I forgot about the weight issue.  I weigh a lot more than you and have no concerns about the ability of the frame and slats to hold my weight.
