Is there anyone on the forum who is totally satisfied with their latex beds. If so, Please mention what kind of latex, your body and health statistics and from whom did you buy the bed from?

If you were or are not totally satisfied please tell what would have made you totally satisfied with your latex bed purchase.

Thank you in advance.

xyz1ab, I know a couple that has the FloBed and one partner has his side very soft and the other had his side very firm.  They both sleep with the 2" soft convoluted topper over their layers.  I could not sleep with that topper since it was too soft for me.  I really feel if you like a soft bed, you need at least a medium to firm layer under the 2" convoluted topper.  It was frustrating going firmer and firmer and I wish I listened to my needs and started off very firm. It was just I had been sleeping on that hard floor for so long when my platform bed collapsed and then I was allergic tot he bed I bought in the show room that had treated suede and polurthane on it and was not natural latex like I was told  So since it was my busy season and I was sleeping on a 1" latex topper I bought over my exercise matt over the carpetted floor and was at least comfortable, I felt I needed a softer floor. I was unable to sleep directly on the carpetted floor and needed to toppers to give me some cushon so I mistakenly believed that FloBeds was correct in the choices they chose intially for my bed. Since I am not quite 5 feet tall, the 1" topper is giving me enough cushion.  Maybe if I was a bigger person, I would have liked the soft 2" topper.  I tried no topper and the bed was too hard and going with softer layers, just hurt my back so I found what worked for me. I love the feel of the cushion on top of my bed and to me it is comfortable.  FloBed's Xfirm is 36 ILD on the average and their Super Firm is 44 on the average.  One side of my bed is slightly firmer due to the range in ILD's since they are never exact. 

Good luck with your search for a good night's sleep.
