So I have gotten to visit a few stores and test out some latex and memory foam mattresses.
It seems I tend to like the Latrex mattresses more - I like how they are more responsive/somewhat squishier when I get on them immediately. The memory foams I went on (even the gel ones) seemed very slow to respond (as you described I think in a post) and they seem firm - however, it seems like they would get very comfortable after 10 minutes (I tried to lay in each for about 5 minutes without tossing).
Assuming I go with Latex or gel memory foam I’m looking at bed slates now. I’m looking at getting the Ikea Malm bed (queen) and it can come with 2 types of slats. I saw your post (https://forum.mattressunderground.com/t/the-best-foundations-or-base-for-a-latex-or-all-foam-mattress) #19 in specific. You mention that as long as it has slats not more than 3 inches apart it should be good for a queen.
The bed comes with 2 of Ikea’s slats, the Sultan Luroy - which I guess is basic slats so that would work? Or is it worth it to spend the extra 100 and get the Laxeby? I was somewhat confused on the advantages of the Laxeby and would it be suitable for a latex or memory foam mattress?
