I built a King size bed about 3 years ago and ended up going with latex instead of memory foam. I bought a cheap regular mattress to use as the base layer, and added a 4" layer of latex to the top (medium density for the wife, and low density for my side). I love it! I don't think I'll ever sleep on a "regular" mattress again.

A couple of points:

- Memory foam is known for being hot in the summer, and I can't stand to be hot when I sleep, so I opted for the latex.

- Latex stinks when it's new. Ours took a couple weeks to finally stop off-gassing.

- My King size 4" topper (which actually comes in 2 XL-twin "halves") cost about $500 shipped from Memoryfoam.com.

- Memoryfoam.com doesn't appear to be the same company it was 3 years ago when I ordered. They don't offer any 4" latex toppers now.
