trying to choose a mattress and one company says latex will last for 25-30 years the other says about 12-15 years, very confused

LATEX will not.
The expensive ones ARE NOT LATEX.
I know latex from 35 years in floorcovering. It's used there.
Latex oxidizes over time.
Read the brochures.

hmmm.... a mattress is a mattress, we lay about on it enough- sleep is good! i could not imagine having the same mattress for 30 years, though, i don't care how wonderful it's supposed to be. we change our mattresses about every 5-7 years....what is a latex mattress anyway???

I appreciate most the research done by people who don't have anything to gain by it. You can find many sorts of information on mattresses at http://www.themattresslady.com/ As they are not affiliated with any particular mattress company, I trust what they say more than I would a manufacturer, who wants to tell you whatever it takes to get you to buy their mattresses.
