Hi,

I never even heard of a latex mattress until I found this forum. 

Please tell me, if you know, is there a problem with mold with natural latex mattresses?

Does anyone know if the layers of latex are glued together?

I'm trying to gather information to make an informed decision about the type of mattress to buy.  I had a Select Comfort, but wasn't happy that it got mold.

Your input is appreciated.

I've gone to a couple of mattress stores and find the latex bed comfortable.

My latex mattress didn't even last 1 year. My son's memory foam on top bunk didn't even last 3 months. Mold! My latex mattress was synthetic..and both were on the recommended slats.
