Sleep Terrible and Wake with Back Pain on a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Ron writes:

 

Good afternoon, Pete

I came across your site while doing some research and your info was the best I have read.

 

We have a king Tempurpedic mattress made up of two twin XL beds as my wife and I have different likes. 

We purchased this about three years ago. I sleep terrible on it and wake up with back pain.  

 

I travel a lot and when I stay in some hotel I sleep good and the pain is less. I have some back issues as I am getting older. 

I was told, years ago, that I had the start of some degenerative discs,  but I wonder if I might have some sciatica.

I am heavy (250 lbs). I just spent four nights in a hotel, and from the first night woke up with much less pain. 

They use the Simmons Beautyrest Granville Terrace. 

I know it is hard to get hotel mattresses, although I also sleep well in the Hampton Inn and they sell their mattresses. 

What would you recommend for me as I did read your reply to another person's issue with a Granville terrace. 

I don’t have many mattress stores where we live as we are in the mountains of Georgia and I am fine buying online.

 

I want a good mattress that I will be comfortable with. I need a twin xl so it will replace my side of the current bed.

Thanks so much, Ron

 

Hi Ron,

What makes the Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the individually pocketed coils...all moving independently from one another.

They contour to the shape of your body and maintain the spine's natural alignment.

The coils are pre-compressed, (a 9" coil in a 7" pocket), which pushes back against the spine...for much better support than your foam mattress.

Unfortunately, they don't hold up very well. Between the coils not being made of tempered steel and the memory foam upholstery, they are mattresses made to need frequent replacing. Under your weight, you'd be lucky to get a couple of years out of one.

 

What I'm recommending is made by Natura of Canada...specifically, their Greenspring line.

These mattresses use the same pre-compressed individually pocketed coils that Simmons uses....for the support you liked so much.

The difference between the two brands is dramatic.

The coil count is higher.

The steel, from which the coils are made, is double tempered.

The primary upholster is natural Talalay latex....containing NO Memory Foam.

 

I'm 66 years old with lots of disc related back problems. My wife and I have their ultra plush model.

It provides excellent support and comfort...surface comfort that doesn't allow you to sink, and doesn't sleep hot.

The feel that latex produces, is one of 'floating'. It's, really, quite nice.

We live without back pain. And with each of us in the 225 lb range, the mattress remains in like new condition after more than 3 years...no sign of wear.

 

Here is a link to those mattresses. There are 4 choices of comfort.

Sealy Posturepedic Comparable to Hotel Mattress.

Paul writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Your blog and website are extremely helpful. Thanks for doing what you do.

You talk about the Sealy Posturepedic Joyce St. plush mattress as being comparable to the Sealy Sweet Sleeper hotel mattress.

I wonder if you might be able to provide the specifications for that mattress, as I would like to compare them.

Also, can you quote me a price?

Thanks, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

You have been reading some of the older blog posts. Things have changed and that information is no longer valid.

The Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, available at hotels, have no memory foam in them.

At retail stores, all Posturepedic mattresses are loaded with memory foam.

Sealy will not make the specifications used in hotel mattresses for retail stores, despite seeing stores claiming to have hotel grade mattresses.

Buy the mattress through the hotel. They are the best Sealy Posturepedic mattress on the market.

Do Not Buy a Sealy Posturepedic mattress from any retail store. 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Sealy Posturepedic Palatial Crest Cushion Firm Pillowtop Hotel Mattress.

Daren writes:

 

Good Morning Peter,

I stayed at a hotel in San Diego which had the Sealy Posturepedic Palatial Crest Cushion Firm Pillowtop mattress. 

This was the BEST bed I have ever slept in. Now that I know it is no longer made, what is the closest alternative? 

I know you mentioned the Green Leaf model in some of your older posts, but Sealy no longer makes these.

Thank you, Darren

 

Hi Darren,

Sealy, which is now owned by Tempurepedic, has loaded everything Sealy makes with memory foam.

That hotel Posturepedic mattress is made without all that memory foam.

If you like that mattress, you can buy it through the hotel.

It'll cost more to buy that way, but those Sealy Posturepedic mattresses are much better made than anything they make for the retail market.

It's a much better buy, in the long term, due to the better durability.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented. It is thee thing to avoid, if you want a good mattress.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Sealy Gel Series vs. Sealy Sweet Sleeper Hotel Mattress.

Cindy writes:

 

Hello Peter,

 

I am looking for a mattress like the Sealy Posturepedic Sweet Sleeper, found at hotels.

I encountered another mattress that is the Sealy Posturepedic Gel Series Firm Plush with 825 coil count.  

I do not like memory foam -- it sleeps hot and I do not like the sinking feeling. 

So, I am also wondering if these Gel series beds are a good value (last as well as do not have the memory foam problems).  

Is the Sweet Sleeper hotel mattress made differently?

Thanks, Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

"Gel" is only used with memory foam.

The hotel mattress has no memory foam.

That should be all you need to know to make a good purchase.

But, I won't rely on you taking the hint.

 

All the Sealy mattresses that are available at retail, are loaded with memory foam. 

 

Buy the hotel mattress from the hotel.

 

Thanks, Pete

A Similar Mattress to that at the Royal Pacific Hotel.

Diane writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I don't know if your knowledge/expertise stretches to the uk. 

I have just returned from a holiday in Orlando and had the best nights' sleep at the royal pacific hotel. 

I have obtained the make of the mattress, but after research and reading your website, I note that this mattress is no longer available and mattresses from this company are not comparable. Do you have any knowledge of a similar mattress/similar specification that is available in the uk? 

It is only after experiencing a lovely night's sleep that I recognise that my mattress is awful! 

My knowledge of coils and springs, soft, medium, firm, latex, wool or foam is limited in this area. 

I thought I liked a soft mattress, as I have a mattress topper on my present bed. But maybe I am confusing this with comfortable. 

I don't know if the royal pacific mattress was soft or firm or what.. it was just extremely comfortable.

 

Yours hopefully,

Diane 

 

 Hi Diane,

The materials used in name brand mattresses can vary, depending on the country in which they are made.

I can tell you that hotels are now getting better quality mattresses from the name brands in the US, than the quality they are making for retail stores.

There is little to no memory foam used in many of the hotel mattresses, while the retail floors are a sea of mattresses loaded with memory foam.

Memory foam is thee worst upholstery material ever invented...contrary to the hype from the ads and the sales pitches.

 

People living in the US, can buy directly from the hotel.

What you'll look for is a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system.

The best upholstery material has always been latex, but polyurethane foam isn't bad.

Avoid buying any mattress upholstered with memory foam, and you'll have made a successful purchase.

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

A Latex Topper for a Westin Heavenly Bed Mattress.

Kim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I wish I had found this site prior to purchasing my Westin Heavenly Bed in luxury firm. I am set to receive it in a few weeks. 

The store, where I bought it, has assured me that no refund can be had. 

I read a about how your latex toppers provide long lasting comfort and how they delay the wear of the mattress.

What type of topper do you recommend? 

Thanks, Kim

 

Hi Kim,

The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Latex Topper is what to get for that mattress.

Vytex Dunlop or Talalay will work well and for many years.

Here's the link you'll need to view and order that latex topper.

Sealy Posturepedic CSS Plush Hotel Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I am looking for the Sealy Posturepedic Palatial Crest CSS Plush mattress.
Is it only available at hotels?

Thanks, Jane

 

Hi Jane,

Until the end of last year, you were able to find the same mattress at retail, and for less than the hotels charge.

Retail Posturepedic mattresses are now ALL loaded with memory foam.

The Posturepedic mattresses, at the hotels, have very little memory foam...and will hold up much better.

While it is a bit pricier to buy from a hotel, it's worth it in terms of longevity.

The Sealy Posturepedic mattresses that you can buy at retail, today, simply do not wear well.

Sealy Posturepedic Hotel Mattress.

Don writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm staying at a hotel that uses a Sealy Posturepedic mattress.

For the first time, in a long time, my back doesn't hurt.

Where can I get a mattress like this one?

Do you have anything like it?

Thanks, Don

 

Hi Don, 

That hotel Sealy Posturepedic mattress is not available at retail.

Today's Sealy Posturepedics are all loaded with memory foam....designed to need frequent relacing.

You are sleeping on a mattress made for hotels, which has almost no memory foam in it.

You may be able to buy it directly through the hotel, (with the better specs and almost no memory foam).

I encountered this discrepancy a short time ago.

I presented the specifications to the factory, in hopes of getting them to make it for me.

They wouldn’t do it.

Send me the specifications of the one sold by hotel...just to confirm.

 

The mattress that we sell, to those looking for something like that Sealy, is an 

old fashioned, two sided mattress that has in it,  the same type of upholstery material used in that Sealy Posturepedic.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Evereden Latex topper.

Kim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I wanted to see what you thought of the Simmons Beautyrest Black Mariela mattress. 

I stayed at the St. Regis Hotel and loved their beds - which turned out to be a Simmons Beautyrest. 

Thanks, Kim

 

 

Hi Kim,

The Mariela is a high end Simmons Beautyrest Black Series mattress.

As it is with any mattress at the high end of any line, all the extra padding compresses easily.

The Black Series is the best of the name brand innersprings. 

My wife and I have tested a Black model at home. We had a lower end model, to which we've added a 2" soft latex topper.

There is nothing like latex for comfort...and comfort that lasts. It's been a best buy upholstery material since the 1920s.

 

If you're looking for the best you can get, go with a Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in luxury firm.

Add to that, an EverEden 2" soft Talalay Latex mattress topper.

Together, you will get proper support for your spine and all the pressure relief and muscle relaxation needed for a great night's sleep. 

What's more, this combination maintains it support and comfort over many years. 

Here are the links to those items.

Simmons Beautyrest Hotel Mattress.

Millie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have just returned from a wedding, where I slept on a Simmons Beautyrest hotel mattress. 

It was one of the best sleeps I have ever had. In fact, all my aches and pains disappeared completely. 

Since being back home, they all started up again, just as soon as I slept in my own bed. 

Could you please advise me if there is a Simmons dealer for that mattress? 

If I were to order from you,  how much would the costs be for the product and delivery etc. 

I am of average size and sleep alone. I have a double bed. I hope you can help.

Thanks, Millie

 

Hi Millie,

You can buy a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, like the one you slept on, at any local Simmons dealer.

Through us, you get a mattress that is freshly made to fill your order, delivered directly to you from the Simmons factory.

Delivery is free...and there's no sales tax. That's a white glove delivery, which includes set-up of the new mattress set and removal of your old one.

 

The thing about the Simmons Beautyrest, which produced that great night's sleep and the relief of your aches and pains, is their individually pocketed coil system...which contours to the shape of your body and maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

Every Simmons Beautyrest mattress provides that king of support.

The model I recommend for you, is the Simmons Beautyrest Silver Series Great Lakes Cove in Luxury Firm.

Beautyrest Recharge Classic Mattress by Simmons For Sale ... themattressexpert.com FREE Shipping on all Simmons Beauryrest Recharge Classic Mattresses From The Mattress Expert. These Mattresses are built with support and comfort in mind!

You might also consider adding a latex topper to that.

The latex topper provides long lasting surface comfort.

Latex sleeps cool, and insulates you from the memory foam in the mattress...which, otherwise, sleeps warm.

The latex topper will absorb all of your body weight, which greatly extends the life of the mattress...far beyond what the manufacturer intended.

The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper produces the greatest degree of comfort and pressure point relief.

ALSO IMPORTANT:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.
