After reading up at least a few hundred pages on this forum, I cannot bring myself to buy a &quot;S&quot; mattress. However I still can't bring myself to spend $1k+ on my mattress.<BR><BR>What what I read on the forum it seems that latex would be the best way to go. What do you guys/gals this of the following mattress from overstock, which is the lowest price I've seen for a latex mattress.<BR><BR>http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/E.C.O.-8-inch-Latex-Twin-size-Mattress/3227638/product.html?cid=123620&amp;fp=F&amp;ci_src=14110944&amp;ci_sku=11340482<BR><BR>Also, if I do buy this one, should I buy a boxspring to go underneath it, or is this fine on a wooden baseboard?<BR><BR>Many thanks!,<BR><BR>Ben

hay there, indeed for around 1K you should be seeing some great posibilities for your mattress... have you considered memeory faom mattresses? i have had one now for aorund a year and it is lush! it helped with my back ache and has given me some great nights sleep. I looked into the latex mattresses when purchasing my memory foam one... they were more expensive and alot heavier... apparently they dont retain as much body heat as the memory foam mattress and they hold there shape better... my memory foam mattress has devloped dents, infact after about 1month there was a definate indentation where i sleep and a smaller one on the wifes side...
 the choice is yours... id go memory foam all the way!

I'd just like to add that this is a highly personal matter which is very subjective.
Memory foam isn't good for all backs.
I have tried several different types of memory foam, including Tempurpedic and various ild's of memory foam, and it has always been awful for my back.
So as with any mattress, you just have to try it and hope for the best. Just make sure you get a sleep guarantee that will allow you to trade for other types of foam or other types of non-foam mattresses.
