Latex Allergies? Vytex Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers are Virtually Allergen Free.

Cathy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I was reading your blog, and you are saying some of the things I've suspected about memory foam for a while. 
The only thing I ever bought made of memory foam was a pillow and it was awful, so there is no way I'd buy a topper made of it.
My best luck so far has been a 4" down topper, but that required constant 'fluffing' to keep it comfy for me...as I see you've mentioned. 
I can't do that, and I got tired of bugging my husband to do it. 
I have RA, FMS, and a host of comorbidities and injuries, so sleep is extra important for me, and hard to get. 
I'm desperate. 
I've seen the topper you recommend, but I am allergic to latex. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your blog!
Thanks, Cathy
 
 
Hi Cathy,
You're allergic to the protein that is naturally present on the sap from the rubber tree.
The protein remains when made into gloves and bandages, which is what most people react to/
But, when made into latex foam rubber, enough of the protein is removed to render it hypoallergenic.
It is very rare for anyone to react to latex foam, since the react is manifest topically.
This have been so for the last 100 years.
 
Hypoallergenic does not mena allergen free.
For that rare number of people who react to the hypoallergenic latex, there is relief.
Today, there is Vytex Dunlop Latex. The Vytex process removes the small remaining protein from the latex, making it, virtually, allergen free.
 
For totally maintenance free and long lasting comfort, there nothing like a soft latex mattress topper. 
Here is a link to the EverEden Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex Toppers.

Equivalent to an Old Sealy Posturepedic Two Sided Mattress.

Nicole writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My son loves his old two sided Sealy Posturepedic Plush Mattress, which was discontinued a long time ago. 
He grew up on that mattress and we took good care of it. We flipped it regularly and kept it clean. 
Now that he's moving into his own apartment, he'd like to get a queen and we'll keep this old full size for our guestroom. What is an equivalent mattress, especially in terms of the quality & firmness, sold today?
Thanks, Nicole
 
Hi Nicole,
Wow! That mattress is very old. 
Sealy changed from two sided to one sided in 2003.
Ten years later, Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic. Today, everything they make is upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is used, specifically, to keep a mattress from lasting too long. The one you have, has no memory foam in it.
 
There is no equivalent to what you have. But, you can come close to it.
We carry a two sided mattress that uses the same type of upholstery material that is in your mattress.
The Brolynn Plush Two Sided Mattress will satisfy your son...giving him a very similar night's sleep at those he's been used to.
That mattress, shown here:

Sealy Conform Memory Foam Mattress is Sinking.

Leigh writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I recently purchased two Sealy Conform memory foam mattress sets at Macy's in Florida, that I will be returning after sleeping on for less than 30 Days.
I told the salesman I had had back surgery on my discs five years ago and needed recommendations.
These mattresses are already sinking in. And, I weigh only 130lbs!!!!
I had purchased a 2nd set for my guest room so I moved to that room to compare them....same problem!!!
He now recommends I try Simmons Sensor Gel mattress.
Do you recommend this? Can you make any other recommendations?
From the input you have said in other responses it seems to me that I should be looking for no pillow top.
Do you recommend inner springs?
I can not afford to go into the latex all foam mattresses.
I have to make this exchange in the next 30 days and do not want to make another mistake 
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you, Leigh
 
 
Hi Leigh,
Your first and most damaging mistake was to tell your salesman about your back surgery. 
This is information, you shared with people who do not know what to do about it. 
Most of today's mattress salespeople know little about the products they sell, let alone about how to match up a physical ailment. 
You told him about it and assumed he'd know what mattress was best for you. 
Salespeople are trained to appear knowledgeable....how to make you trust them, without actually having the knowledge worthy of that kind of trust. 
To highlight this, that salesman has recommended A Simmons memory foam mattress to replace the Sealy memory foam mattress.
The first one didn't work and neither will the second...But, he doesn't know that.
It would be better to know what you want before you go shopping. You can research anything on-line.
  
It's clear that your back will require firm support. As a female side sleeper, you also need some cushioning to relieve the pressure at the hip. 
What good is a cushy mattress when that padding compresses so quickly and easily?...as yours has.
Start with stronger mattress and add a layer of soft latex, which will not compress. 
Latex is the highest quality upholstery material available. There is no substitute for quality. 
And when you have a sensitive back, the sleep system you choose has to feel as it needs to years from now, as it is when new. 
A latex plush topper provides surface comfort that remains like new for many years...and greatly extends the life of the mattress.
 
If you are exchanging these mattresses...as opposed to return for refund, then I recommend these:
For your room:
The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum in Luxury Firm
For the guest room:
The Simmons Beautyrest Silver in Medium Firm 
 
If you are returning for a refund, here are links to our corresponding mattresses. Compare pricing.
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300
Simmons Beautyrest Silver Great Lakes Cove

Add to both, a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper

Matching Boxspring and Mattress Warranty.

Mike writes:
Warranty
 
Hi Pete, 
We are moving and love our mattress. 
Do we need to take the box spring currently under this mattress, or can we use a box spring we already have at our new location? 
They are the same size (Queen) and about the same age.
Thank you, Mike

Hi Mike,
How the mattress feels, may have something to do with the boxspring that supports it.
The boxspring at the new house may be different, thus changing the feel of the mattress.
If both boxsprings are from the same company, then the feel isn't likely to change.
Should you need service in the future, however, the warranty for the mattress will be automatically void, if on a boxspring other than the one that matches it.

A Pure Talalay Bliss Latex Topper for a Dux Mattress

Sylvie writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have had a Dux Mattress for many years and it's time to replace the latex topper.
I've been reading some of your blog posts and it seems I can replace it with high quality latex from you, for a lot less than the $2000 they're charging.
Which latex topper do you recommend?
Thanks, Sylvie
 
 
Hi Sylvie,
All of our previous Dux mattress customers have opted for the Pure Talalay Bliss Latex Toppers.
They are finished in a better looking, richer cover...more in keeping with a Dux Bed.
All have chosen the "Plush" topper. 
The choice of 2" or 3" is determined by the thickness of the one you're replacing.

Here is the link to the Pure Talalay Bliss Latex Toppers.

Is a Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Adjustable Bed Base right for me?

Christie writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I just recently bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress from one of those large chain stores. 
After sleeping on it for four days, I have been tossing and turning at night and now have a stiff neck. 
The bed I received seems considerably squishy in my heaviest area and much softer than the one I laid on in the store.
The store labels it as a plush mattress. 
I really liked that this model had a medium firm support and comfort at the same time without having to buy a pillow-top mattress.  
It feels like the one that was delivered to my house is different (possibly used). 
Would the manufacturer or retailer actually do that, hence the voided warranty if it has any marks or stains. 
There wasn't even any odor once it arrived like my salesperson said there would be. 
I am a 34 year old female and weigh about 170 lbs. 
This bed comes with a 100 day satisfaction guaranteed or I can swap it out for another mattress at no cost. 
Not sure if I made the right decision. I don't want to spend $2,000 plus on a mattress that isn't right for me. 
Do you have any suggestions of what mattress I should swap to if I go that route?
Will the adjustable bed base ruin my mattress by adjusting it up and down all the time. 
Should I have just bought the regular box spring and saved myself some money?   
Much appreciated, Christie
 
 
Hi Christie,
The Simmons Black is a great product...for support.
Mistakes you made were two: the luxury plush model over the luxury firm model...and, the adjustable bed base.
 
All of Simmons' plush models are such a continual problem, that I list none of them on my website. 
An adjustable bed base is a great thing to have if you use your bedroom to hang out in.
For sleeping, it's a waste of money, unless you have a specific breathing problem that requires it.
But even then, there are less expensive ways to deal with those problems.
And, if you do get an adjustable bed base, the mattress will wear out quicker in the area just under your butt.
When you raise the head, the bulk of your body weight shifts to that point in the mattress.
 
(The best mattress for that kind of base is all latex, which is durable enough to take the punishment...and, an all natural latex mattress is plenty comfy.)
 
I would have suggested that you return that mattress and bed base.
Opt for the same mattress in luxury firm with a standard boxspring.
Add to that, an EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Latex Mattress topper

 
Comfort exchanges are a sucker's bet...for lack of a more gentle way to put it.
The manufacturers do not participate in this scam.
So, when you deal with a retailer that offers it, you could easily wind up with something someone else had sent back.
There are a couple of ways to know. 
One sure fire way is to inspect the bag the mattress comes in. If it's been taped closed, you know that mattress is not new.
When they are bagged at the factory, the plastic is heat sealed on all four sides.
In your case, the red flag is that the mattress is softer than the floor sample. 
When the delivered mattress is, in fact, new...it's always firmer than the floor sample.
 
The stain clause is written in stone, in every manufacturer's warranty. Perspiration stains are evidence of an unprotected mattress. 
Moisture that seeps into the mattress will break down the upholstery layers. It's important to use a waterproof mattress protector. 
 
The latex topper, I recommended for use on the firmer mattress, will provide better and much longer lasting surface comfort.
The firmer mattress will provide you with better support.
 
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Which EverEden Latex Topper to Relieve Shoulder and Hip Pain?

Sean writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I am hoping that you can help me decide which EverEden latex topper I should order.  
I am a 5'9" 205 lb. male who is a side sleeper and who has had shoulder and hip surgeries, and now sleeping in pain.  
I am currently sleeping on a "generic" memory foam bed.  The bed is extremely firm and feels more like a box-spring than a mattress.   
The past year, I have been using a 4" memory foam topper which has worked well until recently.  
It now feels like I'm sinking into a giant hole when I sleep and is extremely uncomfortable.  
I want a topper that will allow me to sleep on my side without the shoulder and hip pain.  
I am looking for something that will  give me the cushion feeling that I need for my hips and shoulders without feeling like I am sinking into a giant hole.
I would like it to last a lot longer than a year.  
Thank you, Sean
 
 
Hi Sean,
Only memory foam feels like that....sinking into a hole.
Latex holds you up and cushions you without allowing you to sink.
The EverEden Pure, All Natural Soft Talalay Latex does the best job. 
We normally recommend 2" for a comfortable sleeping surface. 
However, since your surgery has left your hip and shoulder super sensitive, then the 3" makes more sense for your particular needs.
Here is the link. You can order online.

Hip Pain and No Comfort on a Memory Foam Mattress.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
I was so glad to come across you website at 3:00 am this morning. 
I watched my husband toss and turn, while trying to get comfortable and some sleep. 
I read much of your info and decided I need some guidance.
 
My husband is 69 years old, 6'2", 250 lbs and has been suffering from hip pain for about 2 years. 
I just realized this is about when we decided and purchased a new mattress, memory foam, of course. 
We, too, fell for the sales pitch thinking this softness would help relieve some of his pain. 
He is a side sleeper and as I observed him sleeping I could see how sunk down in the bed he was, not good. 
I am 5'2" and 130 lbs and also a side sleeper. At this point I do not have any pain problems and sleep fine. 
 
We are very leery of purchasing another mattress and making the wrong decision. 
Any advice you can give us would be greatly appreciated! 
Thank you, again, for the information you have already provided us with. 
I hope you can help us, we're tired!
Thank you, Denise
 
Hi Denise,
You don't need a new mattress. Your husband's problem can be solved by changing the sleeping surface from memory foam to latex.
The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper is all you'll need to transform your mattress to one that hubby can sleep on comfortably.
It will, also, relieve his hip pain in the bargain.
Here is a link to our toppers.

Can the EverEden latex toppers be used on any mattress?

Nicole writes:
Questions
 
Hi Pete,
Can the EverEden latex toppers be used on any mattress?  
Or, do they only go on the mattress sets that are sold through your website?
Thank you, Nicole
 
Hi Nicole,
A latex mattress topper can be used with any mattress on the market.
Which topper, will depend on what you want to achieve.
Most people will buy a latex topper to soften the surface of a mattress that is too firm, in which case, the 2" soft Talalay topper does the optimum job.
You can also buy a firm topper if your mattress is too soft.
The Dunlop toppers are better for support than comfort.
People with memory foam mattresses, which provide neither support nor comfort for very long, will flip their mattresses over for the firm support they need and add a soft Talalay Latex topper for surface comfort...realizing years more use from an otherwise useless mattress.
Here is the link to the latex toppers.

A Testimonial About Our Mattress Advice.

Laurie writes:
 
Hi Peter,
I’d love it if you could add this to your testimonials section.
 
I live in Canada and called Peter just for a little mattress advice. 
I was getting frustrated by the misinformation I was getting from all the sales people I had spoken with. 
I desperately want to find a good mattress, after having a terrible experience with Comfortaire/Sleep Number. 
(my husband got rashes – turns out the foam had mold in it).  
Peter, very kindly – and patiently, answered all my questions even though he knew that I wouldn’t be ordering from him.   
He clearly is in this business because he wants people to get a good-night’s sleep, NOT just to sell people products.  
What an amazing, kind soul.  
He put my concerns “to rest” (sorry about the pun) and, with his advice, I’ll finally be able to sleep well at night.  
Thank you, Peter!!
 
Laurie from Nanaimo, Canada (on Vancouver Island)
 
 
 
Thank you for this, Laurie,
I was happy to help you.
Please, feel free to call me with any further questions that may arise.
 
 
Thanks, Pete
