Oh my, now I've gone and done it...

Hi Premalata,

I would treat the purchase of an adjustable bed and a mattress as two separate purchases so you can choose which one of each you prefer and make apples to apples comparisons with each of them instead of being locked in to a combination where you may prefer either the mattress or the adjustable but not both. The same mattress will “work” just as well on any adjustable bed. Post #3 here and the adjustable bed thread it links to may help you decide which adjustable bed you prefer and has some sources you can use for price comparisons.

I would also make sure you have the “wall hugger” feature to keep you close to your bedside table when you lift the head.

The choice between latex foam and memory foam is strictly a personal preference so this is something that only you can decide but with your body type I would make sure that you use good quality durable foams no matter which way you decide to go. There is more about how they compare in post #2 here.

These are all good quality materials although I would want to know the blend of the Talalay and the Dunlop. The FR fiber is the non woven fire retardant barrier which is required to pass the fire regulations and the quilted panel probably uses polyfoam in the quilting on each side (more on the softer side and less on the firmer side). It looks like this is a two sided mattress but each side is a different firmness so you would probably only end up using the side which was your preference.

@Jippa,

You may be thinking of adjustable beds that don’t have a “wall hugger” feature which keeps you close to the wall and your bedside table when you raise the head but the lifting mechanism runs on a track and I haven’t seen any adjustables where the legs move across the floor. Do you have a link to one that does this (and if it does I agree I would avoid it).

They are still manufacturing it. A manufacturer I know and talked with today just received a load. (NOTE: LAtex International has since stopped making the slow response latex and it is no longer available)
