Quality Latex over Innersprings - Do None of the S brand Mfrs Make One?

With all this talk of mattress surgery here, I'm starting to think that not one S brand manufacturer (Sealy, Simmons, etc...) makes a ready made quality innerspring mattress with decent quality latex over top.

Am I correct?

Heck, I could search out Ikea and find a couple of mattresses that have latex over individual coils.  Trouble is I only have room for a twin and it must be an XL.  Ikea has no XL.

I would think a range of quality latex over a good set of individual coils would make an awesome bed.  Is there some sort of conspiracy by the S brand mfrs (perhaps they know a bed like this might last a long time), or another reason they seemingly don't make such a thing?

btw, I was told that individual coils may not last as long at crease points when put on an adjustable bed.  Maybe that's why when you see a 'specialty bed' with thick slabs of memory or latex foam, typically it will be an all foam bed.
