Good Quality, Inexpensive Mattresses for Children.

Hi Pete,

What do you recommend as Good Quality, Inexpensive Mattresses for Children?

Thanks, Linda

 

Hi Linda,

Any of these Wolf Brand Mattresses are a good choice for children...excellent quality at reasonable prices.

All of them provide the needed support for a growing body.

I suggest a plusher model, as a deeper night's sleep will result in better grades at school.

Any one of them will also provide longevity as to no need replacing prior to your children becoming adults.

Since "accidents" are more frequent with children and the elderly, I recommend using a waterproof mattress protector. Keeping your mattress clean and dry will enhance the longevity of any mattress.

These, from Sleep & Beyond, are made of chemical-free organic cotton. 

They don't sleep hot and don't make noise.

A Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress on a platform bed?

Michelle writes:

Hi Pete,

Does the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress require the matching foundation shown with it, or can it be used on a platform bed?

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

Thanks, Michelle

 

Hi Michelle,

A platform bed is fine, as long as it has all the proper supports…a center beam that supports the cross slats and legs to the floor supporting that center beam.

There are poorly made platform beds out there, so you have to be careful.

 

Thanks, Pete

I'm interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

Hi Pete,

I'm interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

I'm especially interested in their Ultra Plush model...the one you and your wife sleep on at home.

I'm replacing a 10 year old Simmons Beautyrest. Will I need to replace the foundation? It seems fine.

How long is the wait time for these mattresses?

Thanks, Nicole

 

Hi Nichole,

Here are the links with all the information about those mattresses.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/
https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

Delivery is free.

The usual wait time is approximately 4 weeks.

 

You’ll need to replace the foundation, as well. 

Using an old foundation with any new mattress will void the warranty of the mattress. 

It's a lot to risk for so little savings.

 

Thanks, Pete

I've decided to order the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Jennifer writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have decided to take your advice and order the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress. 

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

But before I do, I had a couple more questions for you.  

My husband and I are both side and back sleepers, and I am on the curvy side.  

Do you think we would need a latex topper to soften the feel of the firmness of the mattress?  

 

Also, do these mattresses still need to be flipped every now and then?  

Thank you, Jennifer

 

Hi Jennifer,

You’ll rotate that mattress, not flip it.

Regular rotation will give you more even wear, as the years go by, resulting in greater longevity.

 

That particular mattress is comfortable for most people in any sleeping position.

I recommend waiting about a week after you receive it, to determine if you need a topper to soften it further.

It takes about a week or so for a new mattress to loosen up a bit. It’s a little stiff, at first.

It also takes about the same time for your body to get used to its new home.

(So to speak).

 

An additional mattress topper may or may not be necessary.

So, it makes more sense to wait.

 

Thanks, Pete

Our new mattress is way too firm.

Hi Pete,

Our new mattress is way too firm.  

Do I need a different mattress?

Is there anything else we can do?

Blessings, Ann

 

Hi Ann,

Everyone's body needs some degree of firm support. 

I suggest keeping your mattress and softening the surface with a soft mattress topper.

A soft topper will give you the surface comfort you want without negating the underlying firm support.

Here is a link to our Toppers webpage.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-toppers-latex-more/

 

Of all the toppers, the Suite Sleep Vita Talalay is the softest.

The Magniflex toppers have a nice feel and are more reasonably priced.

 

Shipping is Free.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

I have had a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge Mattress for longer than I care to admit.

Jennifer writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have had a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge Mattress for longer than I care to admit. I have loved it!  

I tried to switch to a memory foam, a few years ago, and all that did was send me to the chiropractor several times to put me back into shape. 

So, my lumpy Stearns and Foster with divots in it, is sadly, still better.

 

But after that experience, I am terrified to buy a mattress!  

I did some research and had decided on the Stearns and Foster Lux Estate pillow top was the best choice, but something in my gut is saying no. 

 

Please help! I came across your site in my search and I think that Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush sounds like a good choice, however, the no trial period is particularly scary to me after the chiropractor fiasco.

Is there a better option I can try out first?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jennifer

 

Hi Jennifer,

We had been a S&F dealer for many years, prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

They had been considered ‘The Cadillac of the Industry’.

Now, with all that memory foam upholstery, they’re nothing more than expensive junk.

It’s a good thing you didn’t pull the trigger on that purchase. You’d have only repeated your mistake.

Memory foam is higher deceptive, as you have learned the hard way.

At home, it feels nothing like it did in the store, only months after buying it.

Most stores are a sea of mattresses upholstered with memory foam.

You should be more afraid to buy those mattresses that you CAN try.

 

My wife and I asleep on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

We have for the last 9 years. 

And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., it’s still in like new condition.

The Natura Greenspring line is what we found to replace S&F.

It’s the highest quality line of mattresses we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows. It even exceeds the specifications of the old S&F.

I had a Knightsbridge, 20 years ago. It was a great mattress.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is also a great mattress and will give you all the support, comfort and longevity you need to stop your trips to the chiropractor.

Here’s the link to that mattress.

My husband and I need to find a new mattress, and soon.

Cindy writes:

Hi Pete,

My husband and I need to find a new mattress, and soon.

We've had our mattress a year and we're both waking up more tired and sore achy neck, back, hips, etc. 

The pain, each day, just gets worse!  

We tried a memory foam topper that worked for about two months and we finally had to get rid of that.

My husband is a large 6'1", a big guy.

I'm 5'6" medium build. I'm a side sleeper, he's a back sleeper, occasionally side.

Any recommendations?? and where do I go for pillow recommendations?  

My husband has a sore neck that won't go away and we think it's a combo of the mattress and pillow.

Thanks, Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

It sounds like your mattress is just too firm.

You bought a memory foam topper, which worked but lasted only a short while.

What works, works well, and for many years, is a pure latex topper.

Add a 2" soft Suite Sleep Organic Latex Topper 

You'll transform your mattress into an extremely comfortable bed.

Shown here:

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

Have your husband try a latex pillow. 

They are very comfy and equally long lasting.

The Pure Bliss Shredded Latex pillow, in particular, is especially good for relieving chronic neck pain. 

Shown here...the 2nd pillow on this page:

https://themattressexpert.com/organics/organic-pillows/purebliss-latex-pillows-page/

 

Both items come with free shipping

 

Thanks, Pete
