SleepEZ firmness question for SleepEZ owners?

I am the victim of S brand mattress that has turned into a hammock after less then two years. Even though the mattress looks good, when I lay on it my middle bottoms out and I get a strained lower back and I wake up hot, sweaty and tired. During my many nights of waking up at 3 in the morning I usually go to the computer and do mattress research. This forum has been the greatest help by far.

Because of my research I have decided to go with a:

Latex Internation blended talalay - strong reputation and least likely to compress over time
SleepEZ Select Sleep 10000 - Same Latex International latex and about $500 less then the other guys

I am 6'1" 200 lbs back sleeper
My wife is 5'6" 150 lbs back / side sleeper.
Both of us are in reasonable shape and both of us also suffer from lower back issues

What we are looking for is the firmness of a Westin Heavenly bed and the feel of a Costco memory foam topper. I like to lay flat with the pillowy layer on top. I realize that latex has a different feel but this maybe gives you a general idea of what we want. I gave SleepEZ a call and Shawn recommended a Firm / Medium / Soft mattress on both sides. I would buy a Natura mattress locally but the cost would be roughly $3000. Because I live in Canada and the added expense of shipping I want to order and get it right the first time:

Here are my questions:

Does Firm / Medium / Soft sound right. Would like a second opinion.
If I was to put the soft layer under the medium layer does the mattress "hammock"?

Hey Tug,

I also live in Canada ... sounds like you live close to Toronto as I. The Natura and Obasan products are nice but cost a small fortune ... shame really as I would like to support a Canadian company, but will look to the USA for a better price.

I am also considering SleepEZ and possibly something from www.foambymail.com BillB has done an excellent and I believe non-biased review of his purchase from them.

Thanks Jazzsinger,

Yes I would like to support Canadian but haven't found a similar company to SleepEZ or Flobeds in Canada. I looked up the company's you mentioned and yes the price is to high and I just don't trust a lot of the latex manufactures enough to order sight unseen. The beauty of this forum is that you have the feed back of other people who are in the same boat and have experienced the sleeping on a Latex International bed. I am going to go back and lay on the Natura beds and try and find out the ILD's and the source of their beds. By the way I live in Kelowna BC. A little father from Toronto. I will keep you up to date.
