I am looking for a mattress for a new platform bed I ordered. I wondered if there was a type of mattress that is best suited for a platform bed. I was looking into either purchasing a Shifman coil mattress (mid line) or a high quality natural latex bed. Would one type work better than the other? I realize that any mattress will feel firmer on a platform.

On the Shifman site, they say that if the mattress goes on a platform only 1/2 the warranty applies. Also, another quote they mentioned states "Buying a mattress on a foundation is like buying an automobile without shock absorbers."

Makes me think twice about buying an expensive Shifman and putting it on a platform.

Thoughts?
