The boards can only break if it is a cheaply built foundation or the steel frame underneathe the foundation is lacking center support. Check out Flobeds they make some really heavy duty foundations.

Been in the biz 24 years 1/2 of that as a buyer and never heard of Biopedic.
I like the Isotonic, Ecomfort Memory Foam, and Tempur Pedic.

You need to read what he warranty card will allow or you may void your warranty.

Better read up on this mattress before you buy. some say it’s hard as rocks and others that it doesn’t last long at all.

Comment on Should I buy a Memory Foam Mattress or a Latex Mattress? by MemoryFoamBuyersGuide

You’ve made a few great observations here:

You sleep hot and don’t want to buy a mattress that adds to that

You toss and turn a lot

Since memory foam is temperature sensitive, it will become firmer in a cold room

Memory foam mattresses made from American foam don’t tend to sleep hot like those made from foreign foam. There are also waterproof mattress protectors that not only aid in cooling you while you sleep, they are also dust mite resistant and anti-microbial.

You may be tossing and turning, primarily, to lose heat but you may also be developing pressure points from your current mattress that will be greatly diminished by memory foam. You may toss less with memory foam which will allow you to wake more refreshed.

I live in a cold climate and we sleep with no heat. I never have a problem with my memory foam mattress feeling too firm from this. The only time it happens is if we leave for a few days with the heat turned down to 55 degrees.

When we arrive back home, the mattress is very firm and cold. We usually put an electric blanket on the mattress to warm it. (Using an electric blanket on the low settings wont’ harm your mattress as some suggest).

As for latex, you can check the references below for more insider tips. Latex tends to be much firmer, in general, than memory foam.

That is not true, most memory foam is not very breathable and tends to be hot. It is very durable and reduces pressure points very well. Most Consumer Reports Tempur-Pedic owners polled in Oct. 09 said they would buy it again

All natural latex rubber is one of the most durable mattresses made and it is naturally mold, mildew, and dust mite resistant and is my personal favorite.

I would suggest to you what I tell my own customers. You need to test rest mattresses and go with the one that feels best to you and back up your decision with The Best resource for http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/ mattress information on the web.

People are allergic to latex sometimes. I actually thought memory foam were allergen free, but I might be wrong about that. I’ve been doing research too, lately, and I’ve decided to get a memory foam mattress. They seem like the best overall when it comes to comfort, support and durability. A little pricey though.

Latex mattresses come with a great warrentee. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. You should research both the types and the brand as you are doing a bit more throughly.

I just have a memory foam topper and I’m in love with it. My next mattress will be definitely be memory foam. I have read that they can feel a bit "crunchy" in cold temperatures until they warm up a bit, and I have also read that some people think they are hot. A friend has one and he is very happy with it. You might want to try a 2 inch topper first. You can also put a mattress cover over them that will help reduce allergens. I’ve only read about latex and know next to nothing about them except I seem to recall they are pricey. (?)

I have a memory foam and everyone who has ever slept on my bed loves it. It has a 20 year guarantee. I’ve had mine for 2 years and it’s in great shape.
