We flipped our Stearns and Foster mattress over and added a latex topper.

Hi Pete,

We flipped our Stearns and Foster mattress over and added a latex topper, as you suggested.

My husband is having less back pain, as you said. So, yay! 

I, however, cannot sleep a wink. 

It’s too firm for me and I am constantly tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. 

And he can feel every move because the latex is buoyant. 

I find myself waking up on my stomach and I have never, ever been a stomach sleeper. Strange! 

Perhaps I need a better pillow? Any thoughts? I can’t find the right loft! 

I can feel that I’m not aligned and I constantly move trying to get some rest.

 

I’m so ready to figure this out.

I’ve been seeing an orthopedic Dr for strange arthritis symptoms and they’re in the process of testing for rheumatoid. Perhaps that’s a reason for the sleep struggles? 

I just want to be comfortable… and I think a pillow is the next step. Best for petite side sleeper?

Thanks again for everything!

Nicole

 

Hi Nicole,

Stomach sleeping is the most comfortable sleeping position on a too firm mattress.

If sticking with that mattress and sleeping position, a thin pillow is called for.

I would suggest going to Bed Bath and Beyond for that.

Finding the right pillow is extremely tricky. BB&B has a large selection and will take back anything they sell…allowing you to wade through their selection without having to keep any of them that don’t work for you.

 

Side sleeping on a hard surface won’t be possible without causing pain to the hip and shoulder. 

So, there’s little point in getting a pillow for the side sleeping position.

 

While at BB&B, you might look into an “Alternative Down” comforter to further soften the surface, which might allow you to sleep on your side.

Real down flattens out much to quickly. Alternative down, aka synthetic down, keeps it’s loft much better.

 

If going with a new mattress, you’ll be able to use your existing box spring and latex topper. I recommend the Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Brolynn Plush Mattress.

Despite the reasonable price, it’s much better made than anything S&F has made since January 2014, when their entire line went bad, due to the memory foam.

Natura All Latex Mattresses.

Phillip writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have 2 twin-xl adjustable bed bases and need mattresses for them.

We want all latex mattresses and like what we read about the Natura of Canada brand.

I am considerably heavier than my wife and enjoy a firm mattress while my wife like something softer.

Which mattresses would you recommend for each of us?

Thanks, Phillip

 

Hi Phillip,

The Natura of Canada All latex mattresses are very high quality.

They are made the way an all latex mattress should be, using Dunlop Latex for support and Talalay Latex for surface comfort.

Given the difference in weight and comfort preferences, I recommend the Blossom models.

Firm for you and Plush for the Mrs.

Each are the same thickness, which make them the perfect combination for the two of you.

Back pain returned with a vengeance on a memory foam mattress.

Carol writes:

Hi Pete,

A very smooth talking salesman convinced me that a memory foam mattress was the way to go.

He made it sound so wonderful and the floor sample was comfortable when I tried it at the store.

And for the first couple of months, or so, he was right. It felt great and I sleep wonderfully well.

All that came to crashing halt, shortly after the 90 day trial period.

Now, the mattress is sinking.

And not only has my back pain returned with a vengeance, I have new pains I never had before.

As it is now, I can't return this expensive mattress and can't afford to buy a new one.

I can't sleep on this anymore and have move to the sofa until I can figure out what to do.

Please, help me.

Thanks, Carol

 

Hi Carol,

It's probably of little help to know you're not alone.

This sort of thing happens to many people who are taken in by all the hype surrounding mattresses

upholstered with memory foam.

 

Your mattress is made to be one-sided. However, the memory foam is only on the top.

Flip your mattress over to the poly foam side, which is considerably firmer. Do that today.

Add to that anything you may have to soften the surface, like a comforter.

You'll find that you'll sleep a whole lot better tonight.

 

For a long term solution, consider adding a soft latex topper.

Latex is and has always been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

Memory foam has proven to be the worst upholstery material over its 20+ year history.

The Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Topper is the best latex on the planet.

Traditional mattress with no foam.

Michael writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Do you make, or have available, a no foam, no memory foam, no latex traditional mattress?

Springs, wool, cotton etc,?

Michael

 

Hi Michael,

No.

Polyurethane foam was introduced about 50 years ago and has been the primary upholstery material used until memory foam took over about 10 years ago.

The previous 50 years, is were you find mattresses made of horse hair and cotton batting.

The horse hair was later replaced with boar’s hair and then coconut fiber.

I believe there is a Swedish company making them that very old way and they are extremely expensive.

Simmons Beautyrest World Class Mattress.

Sherry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a very difficult time finding mattresses that are comfortable for me. 

I have found the mattress at Holiday Inn Express comfortable. 

I would like to buy one. It was a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Mattress. 

Which model and where to buy?

Thanks, Sherry

 

Hi Sherry,

That mattress was made before Simmons was sold to an investment group.

Since being sold, the quality has reduced dramatically.

And, there is now toxic chemical off gassing from the cheap memory foam they are using.

Nothing Simmons makes, today, is worth buying. They no longer make the World Class.

All of their mattresses pose a health hazard from the carcinogenic chemicals used to make the memory foam.

 

This Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same coil system as in a Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger. 

The support that caused you to sleep comfortably and without pain is the same.

This mattress will create the feel you want, do so safely, and last for many years.

The best mattress for a side sleeper that suffers with sciatica pain?

Carmen writes:

 

 

Hello Pete,

Can you recommend the best mattress for a side sleeper that suffers with sciatica pain? 

I am 5'5", 200 lbs.

Thank you, Carmen

 

Good Morning Carmen,

To me, the best mattress is one that relieves your pain, allows you to sleep well and lasts a long time.

The problem with most mattresses made these days, is that they need frequent replacing…due to the memory foam upholstery used.

The key to longevity is a mattress with no memory foam in it.

A mattress upholstered with natural latex is best for longevity.

To relieve sciatica pain, the key is to maintain the natural alignment of the spine and body. 

This will help keep the nerves in your lower back from being pinched, which causes sciatica pain.

 

My wife and I, each, weigh more than you.

I have a very bad back.

The mattress we sleep on allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

And, it is still in like new condition, despite being 8 years old.

This is the mattress I’m recommending for you.

You don’t have to worry about it being too soft. 

It’s not as soft as it sounds, due to the high quality and resiliency of the components.
