Anyhow, I went through every bed manuf I could find to find the perfect bed. For me, which Hastens was the last option since they were $$$, but the freaking horsehair bed topper was the winner.

Never did like the way memory foam slept. Heat retention was such a issue.

FWIW, in my research, there was ALOT of bedding enthusiasts the make their own bed. There are places online that sell various foams, and basically they end up making their own *foam bed* with a mix and martch of hard foams layers, and soft foam layers and or *zoned* areas in which certain parts of the body rested on a harder foam vs. softer....

I feel for you on this one. I don't have back issues myself but I work damm hard during the day enough that I know what good sleeping can bring.
Sorry if this doesn't answer you warranty question though.
I'm with him.

Bought a natural latex and wool with organic cotton. (weighs 250#) Awesome. It was a little too firm, (on a platform) so I added a 3" natural (organic?) Latex pad. Sleep of the Gods. Just turn/fluff every 2-3 months. 15 yr warranty.

The natural latex is the key here. It behaves differently and lasts much longer than any manu. foam.

Good luck.
