Hi new here, but have been reading a lot lately on this forum. I have a Temperpedic mattress now that has started killing my back ( side sleeper mostly).
I’m was looking into airpedic mattress but I think I’m starting to steer towards latex. I sleep hot on my current mattress and here in Florida that’s not good.
I like the idea of sleepez brand that you can customize the layers ( big plus ). Is there other brands that also does this?
Any options on hybrids vs the all Latex mattresses?
I will be up grading to king so I will need to adjustable frame, with massage
Also decided not to get split king because of the split area but how does people like the head split only?
Thanks for this forum, have been learning alot
Hey R 3106! Welcome to the forum, and I’m glad you’ve been finding it helpful! You have come up with some interesting ideas of how to attempt to satisfy your preferences.
As a side sleeper and someone who sleeps hot in Florida. If you’re looking for a customizable option, @Sleep_EZ is a great choice. They offer customizable latex mattresses where you can adjust the layers for different firmness levels, allowing you to fine-tune your comfort. This is particularly helpful for side sleepers and should help with heat issues, as latex is naturally cool and breathable. Another excellent option is @Spindle_Mattress, which also offers customizable latex mattresses. With Spindle, you can adjust the firmness of each layer to tailor the mattress to your specific needs, providing both support and comfort. For other ideas on how some mattresses are constructed, you can look at @EuropeanSleep (click on look what is inside)who add microcoils and wool covers to step up the comfort level. Quite frankly, there are a host of Trusted Members here at TMU to choose from, with expert advise to go along with the selection of a mattress system.
When deciding between an all-latex mattress or a hybrid, it’s important to consider what kind of support and comfort you’re looking for. All-latex mattresses are great for cooling and breathability, making them ideal for hot sleepers. They’re also naturally resistant to dust mites and mold, which is a nice bonus, especially in warm climates. They can be made to be firmer, which works well for side sleepers who need solid support, while adding a personalized comfort layer.
On the other hand, hybrid mattresses combine the cooling properties of latex with the added support of springs. This type of mattress can offer more cushioning while still providing the breathability and support of latex. Hybrids can also be a great choice if you’re looking for more bounce or motion isolation.
As for the bed configuration, the head-split only option in a king-size mattress is a great middle ground if you want to adjust the head of the bed independently without the gap that comes with a full split. This option is perfect for couples who want different head adjustments but prefer not to deal with the discomfort of a split down the entire mattress. I tend to like this option for those couples who like reading in bed, or where one snores or simply need more individualized comfort. DreamFit is a company that offers one of the largest variety of split head sheet options. I am particular fond of their 100% cotton line of options.
There are some great choices out there for adjustable bases too. The Duetto, The BTX5 and this one with massage
If you opt for an adjustable base, a wooden deck is preferred over a wire grid deck. The blissful nights adjustable comes in a split head with massage, but I am not very familiar with their motors and longevity.
One thing to remember about adjustable or fixed bases or foundations. Quality matters. A mattress system is only as good as its weakest component, while the mattress may be the hero of the bed, the unsung hero is the foundation. Whatever you decide, do not skimp on your foundation. A solid foundation is critical for giving you mattress a chance at a long life.
Hope this helps, good luck with whatever you decide. Just be certain to collaborate with whoever you intend to purchase your next mattress and let them know all your preferences ahead of time.

We offer both latex hybrids and full latex designs. The main difference between a hybrid and full latex is that the hybrids will have a great deal of bounce factor due to the coils whereas the full latex will be much more like your Tempurpedic with very little motion transfer however that’s where the similarities end. Latex, especially Talalay latex, is much more breathable and trust me living in Phoenix air flow is a priority. We also specialize in using zippered covers which allows access to the various latex layers for adjustment or even exchange if necessary. Because we ship these rolled and compressed they will work very well on an adjustable bed base as well. Check out our lineup at https://www.mattresses.net and let me know if you have any questions.

I think I will be purchasing a king non split ( I’m a decorative sheet person and love changing up set and the bedding and head split would make that hard) and we have a queen that is adjustable and had no use to have it separate.
I definitely want an all latex mattress after researching more. But need companies that carry the zippered topper that I can change top pieces so that customizing the layers is easy. With easy exchange and great customer service is a plus.
Bases I’m having a hard time finding, haven’t seen and wood slat ones and sleepez don’t seem to have a single king size adjustable base only the split type baes.
Hey again,
It looks like @Arizona_Premium gave you some solid advice and can provide exactly what you’re looking for. However, I’m a little unclear on something. You mentioned that you’re looking to buy a king-sized (non-split) mattress, and that a split head would interfere with your bedding preferences. But then you also mentioned having trouble finding a single king-sized adjustable base.
Luckily, that’s the easiest part of the search! Companies like Malouf, Yawnder, Rize, Bedtech, and Ergomotion—along with several others I mentioned before—do offer king-sized adjustable bases. In fact, some even offer full tilt options. The main reason some vendors don’t carry king-sized bases is that they’re not very courier-friendly and tend to push shipping into a higher weight class, which makes them more expensive to ship.
If you need help finding the right base, feel free to reach out!
Best,
Maverick
Sorry I meant to say that I have not been able to find the wood slat adjustable bed frame in king that ppl with latex beds recommended for air flow. I am looking at different bases now and will be contacting Arizona Premium about a latex mattress.
The yawnder4 or 5 is one step better, it has a full wooden deck, which for an adjustable base is even better.
both are available in a king, even if it is not listed.
The description is not correct, but the link is.
Thank you for the help
