After years of wondering, I got best bed I've ever slept on (latex and hemp, mainly a full slab of latex with tiny pores/holes that compress and return to a perfect shape. My partner and I joke that it's like sleeping on a cloud. I did go to commercial bed stores in Canberra and tried their normal looking latex matresses but they we're just like a normal matress so we drove the 3 hours to Sydney, tried out all the beds, liked the latex (allergy) one the most but found it a little firm so paid an extra $500 to get the wool and hemp overlay, and it's great. It was delivered (quite cheap!) within a week. If we could, we'd buy a second as a spare bed (double) but will get the plain cotton futon mattress instead (hardly anyone stays). Only suggestions would be that the showroom can only accommodate double

Approximate cost: $2500 (inc extras and del to canberra)
