Steven - Replacing a 20 year old Sealy foam mattress

Thank you for providing this service. I cannot believe the timing on this but I suspect it was almost 20 years ago that I purchased at sears a Sealy Posturepedic Premium Elite Opal Polyurethane Foam full size mattress. I have tried several times over the last 5 years to find a similar bed; as I recall the foam category used to be just a simple alternative to springs etc. Now "foam" sends sales people talking about a hundreds of options. I only know that this 20 year old bed has not shown much wear and is extremely comfortable. Any help you can offer would be appreciated and if it is possible to replace it with your company, I will. I am not especially price sensitive.

 

Hi Steven,

An all poly foam mattress wouldn't normally last that long. To be sure, please look at the white label that is sewn into one of the seams in the back of the mattress. It will give the percentages of materials used. I ask, because only latex tends to last that long.

Regardless, in today's market, only latex will last that long. As you've noticed while shopping, things have changed quite a bit in the last 20 years.

If you want a coilless mattress, latex is the best of them. Even here, though, you have to be careful, There are a lot of, so-called, latex mattresses that have very little latex in them. Here is a link to the S&F latex line, with levels 2 and above using a latex core.

Renee - California King Simmons Beautyrest Avondale Mattress

Renee writes:

We have had a Ca. King Beautyrest Avondale (M29319.7405) for 3.5 years and it has cratered something awful. Simmons will replace it under warranty with a Ca. King Beautyrest World Class Alexandria plush super pillowtop. Tried to find info on this mattress but couldn't find anything. Is this going to be comparable to our Avondale? 

Hi Renee,
It's a step up. The World Class has a higher coil count and better edge support. I'd suggest avoiding the pillowtop. You can get the same model in a plush/firm....not what you're used to, but will hold up a lot better.
Also, Cal.King is the worst size for uneven wear.

Lisa - Stearns & Foster Cal King Kimberley Mattress

Good Morning,

 

    I was looking at a Russell Square Lux. Firm Cal King with low profile boxspring. From what I researched on your site, I beleive it is the Kimberly. Is it available in a Cal King? If it can what is the cost?

 

Thank you,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,
The Russell Square and the Kimberley are the same. The price for either king is the same.
There is still the $100 off from S&F available, but the order has to be called in to get it.
www.themattressexpert.com/Estate-Collection/
The total would would be $1789.00...including: frame, waterproof mattress protector, delivery, set-up and no sales tax.

Heather - Stearns & Foster Blisswood luxury firm Mattress

Heather writes:

Having such a hard time figuring out which is the "best" mattress for me! Have read so many prior comments and they've only made me more counfused. I'm plus size (288lbs), side sleeper with moderate to severe disc degeneration in lower back. Unable to sleep the night in my 7 -8 year old Simmons Back Care (what a lie!) set and have to move out to the recliner for relief. HELP! Leaning towards a Stearns & Foster but WHICH one? And what are the levels all about? Thanks!

 

Hi Heather,
The levels are that of expense. The higher up you go, the more stuff is inside. In your case, less is more...in terms of how well it will service you.
As a plus size person, a mattress will form a body impression more readily. The more padding you have in the mattress, the deeper the impression will become.
The starting model, the Blisswood, is where to go...and in the luxury firm tight top.http://www.themattressexpert.com/Stearns-Foster-Blisswood/
For greater comfort for your hip and greater durability, add a 2" soft latex topper.http://www.themattressexpert.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.prodInfo&prodId=14477
The combination provides extraordinary comfort and support. Latex is extremely resilient material. It absorbs much of your body weight, leaving less work for the mattress.
This is the best way to spend your money, for long term use.

Dennis - Stearns & Foster mattress warranty

Dennis writes:

Hi, for Stearns & Foster Duval Street Ultra Firm Tight Top (mattress price $1079), if I don't want the foundation, is the 10 year warranty still valid?
 
 Thanks!

 

Hi Dennis,
Yes...for defects that may occur in the mattress.
However, if an inspection shows that the mattress is on an older boxspring, the factory will likely void the warranty.
This is not the case for a platform. Only if it is found that the platform is defective, will it then void the warranty of the mattress.

James - Sealy Posturepedic Reserve level 9 firm

James writes:

hi, we have a sealy pp crown jewel opal elite firm from about 10 years ago, what is their closest model to this mattress now? thanks, james

Hi James,
That would be the Posturepedic Reserve level 9 firm, (Concierge Club).http://www.themattressexpert.com/Sealy-Posturepedic-Concierge-Club/
There's no time to waste on that. The line is about to undergo a dramatic change. This mattress will be gone before Summer.
The coil system has not changed in the past 10 years. It will soon.
The change you will notice is that they aren't 2 sided anymore....for the last 5 years.

Where to buy a bunkie board for childs bed

Where can I find a bungie board?

Hi,
It's called a bunkie board, which should make it easier to locate. The first place to look is at place that has children's (juvenile) furniture....bunk beds and such.
