I didn't want to hijack anyone else's thread, so here goes:
The mattress:
http://www.naturaworld.com/main.html
Click Products along the top, then choose Latex. We bought the Summit. (Direct link won't work, sorry)
For those who co-sleep: We felt the pillowtop was way too fluffy for DD to sleep on, especially since she's into rolling onto her stomach these days. So, we zipped off the (very nice, btw) pillowtop to find another layer of fabric. We were initally concerned if we removed the pillowtop, just the latex would be exposed. But, no, the latex was still encased. We rolled up the pillowtop and will store it in the bag the mattress came in. In a few years we'll take it out, zip it on and feel like we have a new bed
There is a bottom zipper, so the entire cover can be removed and washed, if desired. It would certainly be a chore to get the cover back on!
Anyway, the bed is very nice -- firm, yet soft. If you are used to sleeping on a very firm mattress, this may not be for you. However, after two nights, I find it supportive and not squishy. DH loves it because you can move around and the entire mattress does not move. I can't even tell he rolls over or gets up! DD seems to like it too.
The bed does not give off any odor (even before I layered the wool puddle pad, sheets and blanket!)
I'm not sure what else folks might want to know, so I'm open to questions!
