For those with latex mattresses with split core layers for individual comfort on each side - is there ever an issue with the seam between the two sides? Do the pieces ever move around on you, does it open up a little, or can you feel the seam when lying on it?

You may feel the seam if the 2 sides are of different ILD's. Personally I just avoid laying in the middle where the seam is. ;-D

I've use zoned latex - latex pieces cut into thirds for my feet, lumbar and shoulders - and never felt the seams were a problem. They move a little from time to time but unless it's right where you are putting the weight of your shoulder or butt or such, you are not likely to feel it. Obviously some do feel it but I think most do not.
