I'm going to buy a new mattress but confused now. Some people say latex is better; while some say not. Do you have any suggestion?

Re: Joey.. I guess you missed my point... exactly what do you think is done with many of the mattresses that are swapped out.. thown away?  they are usually resold.. restocked or whatever.. !!!  do you actually trust this industry.. like who is watching them?? I have never heard of Gov't control or some state inspections for this industry.. so maybe your bed or layers have been slept on before.. especially buying online.. when stuff goes back.. so many senerios.. sickening.. to even think about..

I think it is pretty unfair to bunch all retailers togethor. I can promise you as a retailer I have never done such. I do however appreciate your point... internet retailers are totally unregulated and I would imagine the greatest risk would come from them.

This question is impossible to answer. You have to try memory foam and  latex to decide for yourself. If you think it is too close to call in the store, then latex lasts longer so go with that. A thick sheepskin topping works a lot like a thin layer of memory foam without the heat retention issues.
