The Best Mattress for the Least Amount of Money.

Evelyn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I need a new mattress.
We have not, yet, been able to go back to work and was hoping to put this off.
But, we are waking in pain and this memory foam mattress has to go.
We aren't small people, but not real heavy, either.
He's 5'10" and weighs 220 lbs. I'm 5' 6" and weigh 150 lbs.
I like a softer mattress than he does, so it has to work for both of us.
What is the best mattress, that you offer, for the least amount of money?
Thanks, Evelyn
 
Hi Evelyn,
We carry some well made mattresses for The Wolf Corp.
Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been continually owned and operated by the same family.
The Wolf family established their business in Indiana in 1873...and the Wolf family still owns it.
They do a very nice job of producing quality mattresses at a reasonable price.
Their least expensive is an Old Fashioned Two Sided mattress...shown here:
Wolf Two-sided mattresses

 

However, the one I'm recommending for you, based on your sizes and comfort choice, is their next line up.
These Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses have a stronger coil system and more comfortable, longer lasting upholstery.
The double tempered steel makes for a stronger, firmer coil unit.
The latex upholstery lasts longer than any other type of upholstery material.
The Tulah Plush Eurotop has the softer sleeping surface without sacrificing the firm, underlying support.
This strikes me as being the perfect choice for you and your husband.
Here is a link to that mattress: 
Wolf Tulah Euro Top (1)

 

Shipping 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.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Wolf Mattresses Compare to Hotel Beautyrests.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete,  
I have been doing a TON of research since deciding it was time for my old mattress to go. 
We are waking up with back pain too often. 
My husband’s typical comment every morning is that his back won’t allow him to sleep any longer.
 
I recently took a business trip and had the BEST sleep that I can ever remember having for the week I was there. 
The mattress was extremely comfortable - the perfect combination of soft and support.  
It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.
It was so good I contacted the hotel upon my return home to ask for information on the mattress. 
They told me it was a Beautyrest by Simmons.
 
Once I had the brand of mattress I thought I was all set.
Then I came upon your website that informed me that I couldn’t buy the same quality mattresses hotels get unless I bought from the hotel. I was so devastated!
 
However, I’ve looked at your Wolf brand mattresses and wonder if they are comparable. 
Is there any way you can give me a recommendation for a mattress closest to a hotel quality Simmons Beautyrest?
 
Thank you for your time and the education your website has provided. 
I anxiously look forward to your reply.
Best regards, Denise
 
Good Morning Denise,
The Specifications of the Wolf Two-Sided Mattress are superior to the hotel Beautyrests.
The coil count is the same, and the coils are stronger...made of tempered steel.
Simmons does not temper their coils....made of raw steel.
The type of upholstery is the same as the hotel models.
Wolf Two-sided mattresses
The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses are even better.
The coils are double tempered and the upholstery is latex or latex and poly foam.
The hotel Beautyrests use poly foam...chemical based poly foam.
Wolf's poly foam is plant based....no chemicals.
And, latex is far superior to poly foam.
Of the two models in this line, The Tulah is the more comfortable.
Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/
It's the individually pocketed coils that makes a Beautyrest so comfortable, which these Wolf mattresses also have.
Shipping 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.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

A Mattress to Relieve Back Pain from Herniated Discs.

Beth writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband has a couple of herniated discs.
We bought a memory foam mattress after the salesperson told us this was best for his condition.
At first, it seemed to help a bit. We were hopeful that his back would continue to improve with time.
The best result was at the beginning. But now, his back pain is worse than before.
Unfortunately for us, "Now", is after the comfort exchange period has ended.
I can't return it and I can't exchange it. He's back to sleeping in his recliner.
We need a mattress that will relieve his back pain for more than a couple of months.
Neither of us are heavy. What would you recommend we buy now?
I sleep on my side. He sleeps on his back. We need a queen size mattress.
Thanks, Beth
 
Hi Beth,
Today's salespeople are trained on how to close a sale...and that's is the extent of their training.
In the old days, we learned about the components of a mattress...how each of them worked and the benefit they provided. But then again, that was at a time when the factories compete with each other to make a quality mattress.
 
Since then, all of the name brands have been sold to investors.
All of the name brands and many of the off brands use memory foam, which is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. Memory foam is, in fact, the worst upholstery material ever invented.
No only is it a lousy product, in terms of quality, it also off gasses the toxic chemicals form which it's made.
So, the key to a successful mattress purchase is to avoid any mattress made with memory foam.
 
Also, any all foam mattress is the wrong choice to support herniated discs.
Even an all latex mattress, which is the best of the foams, won't do the job.
His spine requires the push back support of an innerspring mattress.
The best of those is an individually pocketed coil, which maintains the natural alignment of the spine.
It's THIS that will relieve his back pain. 
Add latex upholstery to that, and you have a mattress that provides the proper support for herniated discs that will do so for many years to come. Latex upholstery is very comfortable and extremely long lasting.
Here is a link to two mattress. Both will do the job. The Tulah is the more comfortable at the surface.
Since there is a female who will sleep on this mattress, I recommend to the Tulah model to relieve hip pain, which is common with female side sleepers.

Back Pain I Attribute to an Unsupportive Mattress.

Chris writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are looking for a new mattress. I'm 260 lbs. She's about 130 lbs. 
I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her back. 
I occasionally have lower back pain after sleeping, which I attribute to an increasingly unsupportive mattress.
Can you recommend something that will give us a great night sleep?
Thank you, Chris
 
Hi Chris,
I do have something that will give you a great night's sleep that will do so long term.
It would be the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
My wife and I are large people, each over 200 lbs.
And, I have lots of disc related back problems, accumulated over the years.
Our mattress is 5 years old and, still, in like new condition...with not so much as a dent in it.
And even though my back has seen better days, I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain.
That mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

EverEden Latex Mattress Toppers.

Jillian writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We've purchased a number of products, from you, over the years.
One of these products was an EverEden latex mattress topper, which we loved and was looking to buy another.
But when I click on the link I had for that, it takes me to the Pure Bliss latex mattress toppers.
What happened to the EverEden toppers?
Thanks, Jillian
 
Hi Jillian,
EverEden has had a change of ownership....the original owner's son.
The new owner has abandoned latex for the more lucrative memory foam.
I've seen retailers go downhill after the sons take over. 
This is the 1st time I've seen this happen to a manufacturer.
It's always a pity to see a know-it-all child that a business that a father has built and substitute quality for profits.
 
So, rather than have a dead link out there, which appears in so many of our older posts, I decided to tie that link to the Pure Bliss Latex Topper page.
You'll be just as happy with the results. My wife and I use a 3" Plush Pure Bliss Latex Topper on our mattress at home.
It's just as comfortable and just as long lasting as the EverEden was.
Here is the Pure Bliss Latex Mattress Toppers link:

However, you'll have to wait a bit.
Due to the slow reopening after the pandemic shutdown, Pure Bliss has suspended taking new orders.
I'm expecting and hoping that situation will change soon...once more of their workers get back to work.
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if everything gets back to normal on Nov. 4th....as if by magic.

A Good Quality, Inexpensive Mattress. Financing?

Jane writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I are in a tight spot.
We, desperately, need a new mattress, but can't afford one.
We are waiting for my husband to be called back to work, but that hasn't happened yet.
The prices I've been seeing, for a good quality mattress, are way too high.
What is your best recommendation for a good quality mattress that is inexpensive?
And, do you offer financing?
Thanks, Jane
 
Hi Jane,
We do have a mattress that will fit into anyone's budget.
It's a good quality, old fashioned, two sided mattress.
The individually pocketed coils are made of tempered steel, and there's no memory foam in it.
Both of these features add to the durability.
Made by Wolf, The Brolynn Mattress is available in Firm, Plush or Duo Comfort.
The price is low. The quality is very good. And, financing is available through PayPal at checkout.

A High Quality Mattress with an Adjustable Bed Base.

Marty writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are considering an adjustable bed base for our master bedroom.
We aren't small people, so it has to be a high quality mattress. We want it to last a good long time.
We already know that we do not want anything with memory foam, thanks your informative blog.
We'd like to buy from you, as most stores only offer mattresses with memory foam in them.
Please offer a recommendation that will work for us.
Thanks, Marty
 
Hi Marty,
I have just the thing for you and your wife.
The mattress is very high quality. It's the same mattress my wife and I sleep on, at home.
We, too, are not small people...each over 200 lbs. 
Our mattress is now 5 years old, and without so much as a dent in it.
The adjustable bed base that we offer with it, is also very high quality.
The Magniflex Adjustable Beds are designed by Italians, engineered by Germans, made in the US, the best of all worlds.
The mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.
This mattress offers good, firm, contouring support, using double tempered steel, individually pocketed coils.
The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex...comfortable and resilient.
You, simply, can't do better.
 
Here is a link to that mattress:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
 
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.
The adjustable bed base arrives via UPS and assembles easily.
Both come with free delivery and no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Bought a New Mattress a Month Ago. Sent it Back.

Diana writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I’m hoping you will be the answer to our search for a new mattress.  
We bought a new mattress after much searching online, a little over a month ago.  
We spent $1200 on it which is way more than we ever have spent on a mattress.  
The first night, I couldn’t make it through the night without going to sleep on another bed in the house.  
After that I got used to it but wouldn’t say I was in love with it.  
My husband too tried to like it, but he is having knee and back issues.  
 
After getting comfortable he would wake up an hour later and have a hard time turning over. 
And it was hurting his back because the mattress sunk in too much for him.  
It was considered a luxury firm.  
We, unfortunately, had to return it. And of course, they have to give it to charity because they can’t resell it.  
That broke my heart but we did find a good organization to donate it to.  
I just don’t want to go through all of that again.
 
My husband is 6’2, 225 pounds and I am 5’6” and 140 pounds.  We are both 62.  
We know we don’t want any memory foam. They are just too hot on any we have slept on.  
He wants a firm mattress and I prefer plush (sure you’ve heard that a million times).  
I am willing to sacrifice to insure he can get a good night's rest and not be in pain.
 
I looked at your website for the different kinds of mattresses and I’m still unsure of what would be best for us.  
The old innerspring mattresses were great.  
Don’t mind a little comfort on top just as long as he doesn’t sink down into it.
 
Thanks for your help, Diana
 
Hi Diana,
The problems with the sinking, not being able to turn over, the back pain...all thanks to the memory foam. 
Had you kept it longer, the list of problems would have gotten longer, as well.
I have a very well made mattress that both of you will enjoy.
The individually pocketed coils are firm, made of double tempered steel.
The upholstery is comfortable enough to cushion the curves of the female body.
Firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine...reliving your husband’s back pain...and soft enough at the surface to make you comfy.
The upholstery is a combination of latex and poly foams...NO Memory Foam.

A Mattress That Will Relieve My Back Pain.

Annette writes:
 
Hello Pete, 
A friend of a friend highly recommended you!
I suffer from back pain. From my neck all the down to my lower back. Emphasis on my mid back. 
I'm on the larger side 5'2" 220 and my husband 5'7" 180. 
We bought a mattress in January 2020 and it has started to sink on my side, causing even more pain. 
I desperately need a recommendation for a mattress that will relieve my back pain.
My husband is in the military, Infantry, so very labor intensive at times but overall sleeps great no matter the mattress. Please help! 
Thanks, Annette
 
Hi Annette,
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is my recommendation.
It will give you the support, comfort and longevity you need and want.
Shown here:

Delivery includes setup and removal of your old mattress.
You only need to replace the mattress. Your current foundation is fine.

Is The Mattress Expert Website Secure?

Kevin writes:
Website Security
 
 
Hi Pete,
I've been reading your blog posts and have been to your website.
I like what you have to say and am wanting to order one of your Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
(I believe you have the ultra plush model at your home)
My question is, Is your website secure? I wouldn't want my personal and credit card information hacked.
What can you tell me about that? 
Respectfully, Kevin
 
 
 
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for that question. Believe it or not, you are the 1st to ask about that...after all this time.
Security is a top priority with us, here at The Mattress Expert.
If you order online, the credit card program that accepts your cc information is so secure, that even I can't access it.
I can issue refunds, if necessary, but I can't add to your charge.
That program has never been hacked.
 
If you place your order with me, directly over the phone, all of your information goes through a shredder after I've processed the sale.
 
Even here, on our blog posts, I do not publish last names....even though I am often given a last name, as you have.
I'll even change the first name, if it's uncommon or unique.
 
We've been doing this, online, for 17 years.
In fact, we are one of the first online mattress retailers in the country, servicing the entire continental US.
For the last several years, we have also been serving the mainland of Canada.
              
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
