After sleeping on the SleepEZ Select Comfort hybrid queen latex mattress (i.e., this is a relatively new mattress) for about 45 nights, I rate this mattress in the top tier of hybrid mattresses I have seen, reviewed or purchased, whether a bed in a box or in a retail store. Here are some of my observations:
• Workmanship. Of the highest quality natural materials and, at about 150 lbs., 14” high, it is much more substantial than any hybrid I have seen/tested/purchased.
• Versatility. A two-sided latex mattress; one side has three inches of softer latex, while the other side has two inches of more firm latex. Not only are there two sleep alternatives, but e.g. if the softer side is too soft and the more firm is too firm, I could envision placing a soft latex topper on the firm side. For most people, the box that it comes in is too heavy for one person, but once the compressed mattress is placed on your foundation, the rest is a piece of cake.
• Latex may not be for everyone, but if you like a little bounce, the ability to roll over and change positions, the ability to sink into your mattress but not be stuck, you may be a good candidate for this type of hybrid latex mattress. In fact, for me, I need sufficient back support and more importantly as a side sleeper, I need pressure relief. The support comes from the quantum edge individually pocketed coils and the pressure relief comes from the latex, again without sinking into the mattress too much. Lastly, it sleeps cool due to the natural materials and construction.

I've only had this bed for a year and it already had a serious divot in the middle.
It's a very hot bed.
We bought a cooling topper, but that only helps a little.
It's difficult keeping comfortable all night long since you're sweating from the bed side and freezing from the blanket side, because if you try to keep warm with blankets you overheat even more so.
I thought I would get more than one year from a $600 mattress.
I even had to invest in a $200 custom made base for this mattress.
I anticipate that I'll end up going back to a traditional bed ....sooner than I thought.

We’ve hadn’t this mattress for 8 years now and we are in the market for a new mattress. Initially we had to modify our bed frame as it was slatted and the mattress sagged through the slats, all cured with a piece of plywood over the slats. However, fast forward to now and the mattress is canoeing. There’s a hump between us. We’ve routinely flipped the mattress and we weigh 125 and 160 lbs respectively so it’s not like we are heavy people. Also, we’ve had to add mattress pads since our sweat seeped through the sheets and stained the latex. Also, we are on our second cover since the first one shrunk when I washed it even though I did so exactly as they recommended.

I easily paid ten times the cost of this mattress trying to find back pain relief from herniated disks. The doctors wanted to do surgery everyone had a different solution that did not work and I knew that the mattress that I was sleeping at the time definitely was not helping as I would get stuck in the memory foam and unable to move and getting my back locked up more and more. I made a purchase of a latex mattress with the help of the staff at SleepEZ and within 3 nights I noticed such an incredible turn in my pain that it's all most unbelievable. I haven't need to visit my pain management specialist in over 6 months!!

Inconsistent feel between each side with same latex configuration. Two firm layers have different support comfort. If you get the configuration right for your shoulders it's too soft for your lower back. Configurating your comfort is even more difficult as the latex ages. It's like playing Jeopardy with your sleep. Where is
