Latex Mattress

I am looking for a new mattress and considering all except inner springs.  I ran across this site and have been reading about two companies, Flobed and SleepEZ.  Both seem to offer latex sections that make up the mattress. Here's my question.

Don't these sections separate and add to the compression of the mattress?  With these sections, it seems that this would make the mattress sag very quckly.  Flobed had a vZoptin one that has even more separate pieces.  Can anyone tell me if I way off base here?

Thanks,

You can't feel the seams but you can feel the different zones.  There is friction between layers and they don't slide around....latex layers are not slippery.  Maybe if you dive on them hard from an angle some layers might separate but I don't get in bed that way.  For the Flobeds and Custom Sleep Design mattresses and most others, I think they come with a case which helps to hold them in place.


I have a sleepez mattress.  The layers of latex are zipped into a cover, there is no where for the layers to slide.  Each layer weighs between 35-50 pounds.  Moving a latex mattress is a lot like moving a very large dead body--and if you've ever tried to move a dead body before, you know how difficult it is.  If not, take my word for it.  :)
