Simmons Beautyrest X Class Ultra Plush Mattress.

Hi Pete,

Last used your service in 2013 and was VERY IMPRESSED.

Searching your site for a king size Simmons Beautyrest X Class Ultra Plush mattress and can't seem to find.

 

Do you carry this item, and if so, can you quote me a price ?

Much rather deal with you as you provide great price and great service.....

 

Thanx, Bernie

 

Hi Bernie,

My wife and I match your sizes. And I have several disc related back problems.

The mattress we have is now 5 years old and still in like new condition.

What’s more, I sleep and wake without back pain.

This mattress exceeds, by far, the specifications of any Beautyrest mattress.

In fact, it exceeds the specifications of the old Stearns & Foster mattresses, back when they were making a great mattress.

The mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, shown here:

Because the components are of such high quality, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress/set.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Replacing a 20+ year old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Fairfax Pillow Top Mattress.

Stuart writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I have a 20+ year Simmons Beautyrest World Class Fairfax Pillow Top mattress.  

It has been an excellent mattress and I still love it and think it is perfectly fine.  

My wife thinks it needs to be replaced because you can see the indentations our bodies in the pillow top.

In a perfect world I would buy the same mattress or get this one rebuilt. 

I don’t think either of those two options are available.

 

I’m 5’6” 190 lbs., my wife 5’3” 150 lbs.  

My wife loved that the mattress did not move when I rolled over or had a restless night.  

I love how comfortable this mattress is.  It seemed to have a firm support while still being plush with the pillow top.

 

I’ve read your posts concerning the sale of Simmons and the use of memory foam in the new mattress; very informative.

What mattress would you suggest that would be the closest to what we have?

Thanks, Stuart

 

Hi Stuart,

If your wife is sleeping well, waking rested, in no pain...tell her to forget the aesthetics.

You replace a mattress when one of the above 3 criteria are not being met.

Body impressions, alone, are NOT a reason to buy a new mattress.

 

But, women are built differently from men. You may have noticed.

Being curvier, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in a mattress over time.

Their usual sensitive area is at the hip. 

 

If she isn’t sleeping well, that’s a good reason to replace it.

The thing that makes a Beautyrest so comfortable, is the individually pocketed coils.

This type of coil system maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

Not feeling each other move is a side benefit.

 

Since you’ve been reading my blog, you already know that there isn’t a Simmons Beautyrest worth buying, today.

So, let me recommend that which we sleep on, at home.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush has the same type of coil system, with more and stronger coils.

The natural Talalay Latex upholstery is also an upgrade over the polyurethane foam used in your mattress.

High Quality Organic Latex Mattress Topper.

Jean writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Can you direct me to a high quality organic latex mattress topper?

I need it to soften a mattress that is too firm.

I want to make sure it is chemical free.

Thanks, Jean

 

Hello Jean,

Here are links to two...one Dunlop, one Talalay.

Both are Pure, All-Natural Latex, which is naturally organic. Both have an organic cotton double knit cover.

The Dunlop comes in a choice of comfort and a choice of thickness. 

The Plush is what you want to soften a too firm mattress and 3" has a softer feel than the 2".

The Talalay only comes in 3" Plush and is softer feeling than the 3" Soft Dunlop.

Mattresses for Our Son and for My wife and I.

Stuart writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I've been reading your blog posts and everything I've read makes sense.

I need a mattress for my 3 year old son and have to figure out what to do about the mattress my wife and I sleep on.

We will be putting our son on a queen size, which will also be used as a guest bed on occasion.

I want to make sure it has no chemical off gassing.

 

My wife and I bought a Stearns and Foster mattress, shortly before our son was born.

We can feel that it has lost its support and comfort when we are in the bed.

But there is no visible wear showing when we get out of bed.

And just like you've said, we were not able to prevail in a warranty claim.

As much as I hate to replace it now, I'm afraid it has become necessary.

My wife and I are not heavy people.

 

What would you recommend for both bedrooms?

Thanks, Stuart 

 

 

Hi Stuart,

Let’s start with your little guy.

Here is the link to that Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress.

The Uno Smart adjustable base created by Magniflex is a product of German engineering that has been designed to provide our customers with the highest level of well-being with several benefits to ensure satisfied customers. themattressexpert.com

The choice of Duo-Comfort, (plush on one side and firm on the other side), is ideal for a guest bedroom.

I suggest the plush side for your son...and whichever side works for any given guest.

 

You have two options for your master bedroom.

1) You can flip that mattress over and add a latex topper.

2) If replacing your mattress, here is a link to the mattresses I’d recommend.

Neither has any memory foam. Both use a double tempered steel coil.

A Mattress for Severe Scoliosis.

Marybeth writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a severe "S" curve scoliosis with a fused spine and have gone through so many beds.  

I cannot sleep on a foam mattress, as they have no support. 

I'm 59 115 LB. I was sleeping on mattress with pillow top, then latex mattress, then air bladder. 

Now, I'm sleeping on just a box spring with pad and blankets.

Can you recommend anything? 

Thank you, Marybeth

 

Hi Marybeth,

Given your slender build, an expensive mattress is not necessary.

What is necessary, is that it be firm.

Here is a link to an old fashioned two sided innerspring mattress with no memory foam.

If you like what you see, order it in Firm.

Replacing a 20 Year Old Pure Latex Mattress.

Vic writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have two 20 year old twin-xl latex mattress, on adjustable bed bases.

The bases are in good shape, but the mattresses need replacing.

These mattresses are all latex, without fillers or synthetics.

I want to replace them with mattresses of equal quality.

Many of the latex mattresses I've seen while shopping, are not pure latex.

I'm 275 Lbs. and like a firm feel. My wife is not light, but likes a softer feel.

Do you carry, or know where I can buy, the quality latex mattresses I'm looking for?

Thanks, Vic

  

Hi Vic,

This mattress, I’m recommending is 100% Pure All Natural Dunlop Latex.

This is the highest quality latex on the market.

The cover is an organic cotton double knit, which maximizes the performance of the latex.

There are 3 mattresses on this page.

My recommendation is for the Suite Dreams model, from Suite Sleep.

This mattress is easily customizable to suit you, both, if you don’t agree as to surface comfort.

The base layer should be firm, for support and longevity.

The top later of latex is available: soft, medium soft, medium firm, and firm.

I recommend the medium firm for you.

Since your wife prefers a softer surface feel, I recommend the medium soft surface layer for her.

 

Here is a link to those mattresses.

https://themattressexpert.com/suite-sleep-latex-mattress/

Suite Sleep Latex Mattress | The Mattress Expert The 10″ Suite Dreams Mattress is our most popular mattress and featured in boutique hotels across the country. It offers customizable support for an individualized sleep experience and a soft comfort layer for pressure point relief customizable 6″ core, which can be tailored to your specific sleep needs. themattressexpert.com

Simmons Beautyrest Jessica Mattress.

Carlos writes:

Hello Pete, 

I had the opportunity to sleep on a Jessica mattress from the Simmons Beautyrest line and loved it.

I haven't been able to find its specifications as far as technology and others. 

Could you by any chance send them to me?

Kind regards, Carlos

 

Hi Carlos,

The thing about a Beautyrest that makes it so comfortable, is the contouring support of the individually pocketed coil unit.

 

Which Beautyrest you slept on, may or may not be available at a retail store.

Simmons was purchased by an investment group, a few years back.

Since then, all Beautyrest mattresses made for retail stores are upholstered with memory foam.

If you research reviews for Simmons Beautyrest mattresses online, you’ll find that those reviews are very bad...all thanks to the memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented... specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

 

If the Jessica model you slept on was an older mattress or was at a hotel, those mattresses are upholstered with poly foam and contain no memory foam.

 

Today, you can only buy a Simmons Beautyrest mattress without memory foam from a hotel directly.

You don’t want to buy one from any retail store.

 

We carry other brands, that also use an individually pocketed coil unit and contain no memory foam.

Let me know if you’d like a recommendation or information about those.

Back Pain on a Cool Gel Memory Foam Mattress.

Brandi writes:

 

Hey there!

We currently have a memory foam cool gel mattress and it’s giving us terrible back pain. 

I loved our old queen mattress. It was a Sealy Posturepedic Linsing Plush Pillowtop mattress. 

I want something similar for our king bed.

What do you recommend?  

I sleep on my back and am 120 pounds.  

My husband sleeps on his side and is 220 pounds.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks so much :)

Brandi

 

Good Morning Brandi,

There is nothing made, today, like that old Posturepedic.

Sealy is now owned by Tempurpedic.

They have loaded everything Sealy makes with memory foam.

 

It’s the memory foam in your current mattress that’s causing your back pain.

 

You have a couple of good options.

One is to flip your mattress over. The memory foam is only on top.

The underside of your mattress is firmer and has no memory foam.

This is something you can do today that will relieve your back pain.

The flip side is likely to be too firm to sleep on comfortably.

So, use whatever you have to soften the surface.

If you wake up tomorrow feeling better, then you might consider a latex topper instead of a new mattress.

These latex toppers provide excellent, long lasting surface comfort.

These are currently on sale, using the discount code, sst10, when you checkout.

https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/suite-organic-latex-topper.html

The 3” Soft is what I’d recommend.

 

If you do need a new mattress, the one we sleep on at home will work for you.

My wife and I are, both, over 200 pounds. I have lots of back problems.

Our mattress is still in like new condition after 5 years.

I sleep and wake without back pain.

Here’s a link to that mattress. 
https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

The latex topper arrives via ups.

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Are there any Kingsdown mattresses that you recommend?

Howard writes:

 

Good morning, Pete,

I own a 10 year old Simmons World Class mattress that continues to be truly excellent. 

I require a mattress for a second residence and there’s a store closing that has Kingsdown mattresses at a good price. 

Are there any Kingsdown mattresses that you recommend?

Regards, Howard

 

Hi Howard,

Generally, no.

Before you buy anything, check the list of specifications and avoid any mattress upholstered with memory foam.

Thanks, Pete

 

********************* 

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the rapid reply. 

So essentially, even if the KD has a large number of pocket coils, you don’t recommend them?

Howard

Hi Howard,

A chain is only a strong as its weakest link.

Memory foam is the weak link...specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Not to mention its other problems....sleeping hot...off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.

Memory foam is not only a lousy product, in terms of performance, it also poses a health hazard.
