Update on the bed search:

This bed will be used on our guest room, but sometimes I sleep in there or my wife does because my wife sometimes has to get up really early for work, and I don't want her to wake me up, or sometimes one of us has a cold and doesn't want to share the cold, etc. So I'm going to spend a bit more than for just a basic coil mattress. Want something nice.

I've been looking at the Latex and Memory Foam beds. Best memory foam is Temperpedic, but they cost three times more than Latex mattresses, and I don't think they're necessarily three times better. I've been looking at the 6" Latex mattresses, and I can put a Memory Foam pad on top if I want to. Here in KC, there's a Hawn Bedding Factory,
http://www.hawnbedding.com
Their Latex Bed with box spring and bed frame, delivery, tax & everything for a queen size is just shy of $1500.

Two other reputable places in Independence have the Restonic Mattress
http://www.restonic.com/healthrest/latex.php
(made in Springfield, MO) 6" latex mattress, same basic set up as Hawn, for around $1300. I could buy the Restonic, and buy a 4" memory foam topper pad for about $100, and still be less than Hawn.

I've been to about five different stores, so I've shopped around pretty good. Anybody have any experience with Restonic? They've won six consumer's digest best buy awards for their latex mattresses. That's pretty good.

Any of you guys had any experience with latex, uh mattresses? I know Tempurpedic is nice, but damn, they are ridiculously expensive.
