Re: Just saw Royal Pedic!
I sell about thirty cotton units for every latex. I know in my house, I have (4) R.Pedics and all are the basic All Cotton - for my wife and I, the latex is too soft for us. It really comes down to what feels good to you. They are all heavy, dense beds, there is no air you are paying for in a Royal Pedic.
There are two basic kinds of Latex, synthetic and natural (quite costly).
The Standard Royal Pedic Latex is 70% Natural and 30 % Synthetic, and the latex is formed and molded in Holland, where the best core maker's factories are located.
The Organic Royal Pedic is 97% Natural with 3% binding agents added. Its more costly because it is all natural (except for the binding agents needed) but has a stronger, concentrated "rubber" odor.
The standard is more durable and less costly. Unless you simply much have the Organic unit, the Standard is a better bed in my opinion.
Cheaper latex beds come out of Malaysia and make use a Polypropylene core and are surrounded by the latex, and built using the 'Dunlop' method which is faster/cheaper than the traditional method in the Netherlands.
I have never sold an adjustable frame bed so I have no experience with them, sorry.
The "Quilt Top" model is built over the same foundation as the 7-Zone, there is just an added layer of padding on each side of about 3/4 of an inch.
