2 Month Old Brentwood Home Oceano (Bed in a Box) Mattress, Causing a lot of Shoulder Pain.

Mark writes:

Hi Pete, 

After what seemed like way too much time researching, we purchased a Brentwood Home Oceano (Luxury Firm bed in a box) mattress in September. 

It sure looks like a premium built mattress and seemed like it should be comfortable.

But after 2 months, both my wife (105 lbs/side+stomach sleeper) and I (175 lbs/mostly side sleeper) are experiencing a lot of shoulder pain and often wake up with the arm we happen to be sleeping on asleep. 

I'm feeling like the mattress is way too firm for us and are considering returning it and purchasing either a beautyrest black or something equivalent. 

I spend a lot of time in hotels and understand that the beautyrest black is a common choice for premium hotel brands. 

In fact Simmons seems to be selling hotel mattresses direct to consumer now themselves. 

I know the Ritz Carlton beds are S&F, but I've seen on your site that S&F is now owned by Tempurpedic. 

Any thoughts or recommendations??

Can't believe I didn't come across your site in August/September. 

Best, Mark

 

Hi Mark,

Memory foam is the problem, regardless of the brand.

To listen to those selling it and the advertising for it, you'd think that memory foam is the best thing since sliced bread.

It is, in fact, thee worst upholstery material ever invented....well proven over its 20 year history.

So, let me introduce you to a mattress made in Canada....the mattress we sleep on at home.

My wife and I are large people...about 225 lbs. each. This mattress is more than 3 years old and is no different than the day it was delivered.

The support system is the same as the Simmons Beautyrest...with more and stronger coils than what Simmons uses.

The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex. Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

If you want quality...support, comfort and longevity...then look to the Natura of Canada Greenspring. The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable.

A Mattress to Relieve Sciatica Pain, Delivered to Canada.

Jean writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I am in Canada.  I have an issue with my sciatica where some days it is very difficult to move.  

I need to purchase a mattress that will support me and relieve the pain.  

I am a back/side sleeper. Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Jean

 

Hi Jean,

Sciatica stems from worn discs in the small of the back. The vertebrae pinch nerves, which send pain around the hip and down the leg.

To best prevent this, it's imperative to keep your spine in it's natural alignment...which prevent the nerves from being pinched.

The best way to achieve this, is with a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system.

 

There are many different mattress brands that have that coil unit, but most are upholstered with memory foam.

One of the many problems with memory foam, is that it wears very quickly.

The last thing you need to do is waste your money on a mattress that feels good when new, and not, only months to a year later.

 

I have many disc problems, that no longer bother me, thanks to this mattress...which has remained like new for more than the 3 years we've had it.

The mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring. We have the Ultra Plush, which is the most comfortable of the 4 models.

A Soft Latex Topper to Relieve Chronic Hip and Shoulder Pain Caused By a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Maria writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I've read many comments by you about the value of talalay latex mattress toppers.

I am considering getting one, but I'd like to know if it will address my particular situation.  

I have a couple of herniated discs that are pretty much under control.

When I was diagnosed with them, 5 years ago, the Tempurpedic mattress was supposedly designed for people with back problems. So, I bought one.  

I feel like one shoulder and one hip have become chronically sore.  I can just about pinpoint the start of the shoulder problems to when I got this bed.  

To roll over I feel like I have to wake up and  "climb the mountain" from the valley I'm lying in.  

From what I've read, a talalay topper should help and soften the surface while still allowing me to address the discs.  Is that so?  

From what I understand, the tempurpedic uses body heat to contour to your body.

I am afraid that if I put a 2" topper on top of it, it will turn into a solid surface due to no body heat softening it. 

I am afraid that the topper will not be enough to counteract that, putting me back to square one. Is my thinking correct?  

If, in fact, the topper is the way to go, should I get the 2" or the 3"? I am a  5'2" female whose weight currently is 150 but heading down to 130.

This is my bed, alone, so my body type is the only one that needs to be considered.  

This investment needs to work for me so getting the exact right item is important. 

I appreciate any help you can offer! 

Thanks, Maria 

 

 

Hi Maria,

A soft Talalay latex foam mattress topper does the best job of relieving pressure points and relaxing muscles.

Two inches is all you'll need.

Despite what you think about memory foam, it's one of the worst materials ever invented for use as a mattress. 

The sinking from warming is one of the worst support systems you can choose for herniated discs. 

The underside of your mattress is made of firm poly foam.

My suggestion to you is to flip your mattress over before adding the 2" layer of soft latex.

You'll have what you want for your joints and better support for your back.

Here's a link to our latex mattress toppers:

Best Buy...Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Mattress and EverEden Latex Topper

Liz writes:

Hi Pete,

I’d like a new mattress and prefer firmer than soft. 

I currently have a Simmons Beautyrest "do not disturb" mattress.

It is older and can be flipped. They don’t make that type anymore. 

I really like this mattress especially when compared with others I have tried in the shops recently. 

Can you recommend a comparable mattress to this model?

I'm more interested in feel and function rather than name. 

The one I have was a great value and the best buy at the time.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. 

Thanks, Liz

 

Hi Liz,

An excellent value and a best buy, today, is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove in Extra Firm or Luxury Firm.

This will provide the same support you've been used to and is on the firm side.

It's the individually pocketed coils that contour to the shape of your body, which maintains the natural alignment of your spine...that you like so much.

Today's Simmons Beautyrests provide the same support.

The big difference between then and now, is the upholstery materials.

Today's Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam. Your older two sided mattress has no memory foam.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. And, it sleeps hot.

So, along with that new Gibson Grove Beautyrest mattress, you'll need to add an EverEden 2" Latex Topper .

The most popular, are the Soft toppers, which I suggest you consider since the mattress is firm and you're 20 years older than the last time you bought.

However, the Vytex Dunlop Latex Toppers are available in Medium, as well.

The links for those items, shown here:

100% All Natural Talalay and Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers. | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com 100% All-Natural Vytex Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers. Ever-Eden’s Vytex Dunlop is, virtually, Allergen Free. And while the Vytex Dunlop comes in the same 2 choices of comfort levels, Dunlop is a more dense material and does not have as supple a feel as the Talalay Latex Toppers.

Together, you will enjoy longevity that is far greater than what today's Beautyrest mattress alone will provide.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

We Loved Our All Latex Mattress.

Brenda writes:

Hi Pete,

Many years ago, we had an all latex mattress, that we loved.

Since then, none of the mattresses we've purchased have been as comfortable for us.

We are in our 70's and my husband is a big man.

We would like to get back to an all latex mattress, but don't know where to start.

My husband would like our current mattress to be removed when the new one is delivered.

But, I can get someone to take it away, if I can, otherwise, save some money.

Can you offer a couple of suggestions?

Thanks, Brenda

 

 

Hi Brenda,

This mattress that comes with white glove delivery and removal of the old set, is made by Natura of Canada.

The Bourdolay Plush model is the most popular.

Please take note: The price that shows on this page is dictated by the factory.

They don’t permit me to show the discounted price.

Here is a link to the EverEden Pure All Natural Latex Mattresses.

These are shrink wrapped, boxed, and shipped via UPS.

The prices shown reflect the discounted price.

The latex in these mattresses is pure latex...a little higher quality at a lower price.

The trade off is the delivery.

You’ll need someone on your end to bring it in and dispose of the old mattress.

 

In either case, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

A 400 Lb Man Can Sleep Like a Baby on a Natura Natural Latex Mattresses.

Nick writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I been trying for a few weeks to research to find an appropriate mattress so I can sleep like a baby.    

The last mattress I bought was a memory foam type. It was very good at the start but ‎got worse over time.. 

Now, I can't even turn and toss in bed as it feels like exercise!   

I'm a male, almost 400 lbs., sleep on my back, side and stomach.  

I'm looking for a king size mattress. I swear it sometimes feels as if sleeping on the floor is more comfortable!   

Is there any mattress you can suggest?   

I spend 1/3 of my life in bed, and I need to start sleeping properly for once and for all. 

I live in Canada, so not sure if that's an issue as I noticed you do ship products here.  

I appreciate your feedback. 

Thanks, Nick 

 

Hi Nick,

No mattresses made in The States, can't be shipped to Canada without a lot of fees, tariffs, and taxes....making them way too expensive.

Happily, we also carry a high quality line of mattresses that are made in Canada.

White Glove Delivery within the US and Canada is free, and without having to charge you any of your national sales tax.

 

The king of mattress that will hold up best under a 400 lb man is all, natural latex.

Since you find the floor fairly comfortable, I suggest their "Bourdolay Firm" model.

You can always soften it with a softer latex topper, if you later feel it necessary.

Replacing a 14 year old Simmons Beautyrest Achiever Plush Mattress.

Mark writes:

Hello Pete,

I'm hoping you can help us. Buying a new mattress has us confused and unable to make any progress towards a decision. 

We really do not want to over think the mattress question, nor do we want to spend untold amounts of time on this.

I found your site and blog and have done a little reading and research. It seems like you have helped thousands of couples just like us and I was thinking you could do the same for us. Here is our situation.

The Mrs. is 140 lbs, 64" tall and mostly sleeps on her back and I am 225 lbs, 73" tall and I sleep mostly on my back or left side. We have always slept on a traditional full size mattress. The current one is a 14 year old Simmons Beautyrest Achiever Plush and box spring. We have used a feather bed topper for as long as I can remember.

We decided to change from the full to a standard Queen size and need to make a purchase of a new mattress and box spring. My wife wants to go shopping and do the showroom shuffle. Me, not so much. I am of the opinion that this can't be as hard as the retailers and manufactures want you to believe it is. I'm pretty sure we do not want anything with memory foam, air numbers, magic fingers or a several thousand dollar price tag. 
What would you recommend?
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Much Appreciated, Mark

Hi Mark,

Both, my wife and I, weigh as much as you do. So let me introduce you to the mattress we sleep on, at home.

We've been sleeping on a Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush for more than three years...and it shows zero signs of wear. The reason why it's holding up so well, it twofold....A high coil count and those coils made of twice tempered steel & Latex upholstery. 

These mattresses contain NO Memory Foam, which is the primary reason today's mattresses wear out so quickly. Your old Beautyrest has no memory foam in it.

These Greenspring models provide excellent support, comfort and longevity...that line, shown here:

A Motion Reducing Mattress for R.A., Fibromyalgia, Neck Pain.

Susan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need some mattress advice. I have RA, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. I tend to have severe hip pain and knee pain during a flare-up. 

I can experience so much pain in bed that I spend the entire night changing position, trying to relieve the pain from contact with the mattress. 

My husband has neck pain from deterioration of cartilage.  The mattress we have now, is a Sealy Posturpedic Luxury Firm, two sided mattress. 

We've had it for quite a few years and have loved it. We rotated and flipped it for even wear. 

It was very firm, but now, every time you move, it bothers the other person and isn't as supportive. 

It is a queen, but we are moving up to a king. 

My husband is six feet tall and around 205 pounds. I am 5 ft. 3 in. and 165 pounds. 

We both like a firm bed and would appreciate a recommendation from you. 

Thanks, Susan

 

Hi Susan,

The interlocking coils of your Posturepedic provides a more rigid base support. Besides feeling each other move, it's also aggravating your RA and Fibro.

Switch to a Simmons Beautyrest, which has an individually pocketed coil unit. 

The coils move independently from one another, providing a more contouring support. 

This will ease your pressure point at the hip and offer some relief for you and eliminate the motion transfer that disturbs your husband.

For the additional surface softness, that your conditions require, add a 2" soft Talalay latex topper to the mattress. 

Latex, besides being extremely comfortable, is also the most resilient upholstery material available.

You'll end up with good firm support and excellent surface softness that won't break down the way a soft mattress will, under your husband's size.

I also have a latex/down pillow that works wonders on severe neck pain.

The mattress I'm recommending is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm.

Here are links to that mattress, the Pure Bliss latex topper and the Pure Bliss pillow to relieve your husband's neck pain.

Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Plush Pillowtop Mattress.

Don writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I recently bought a queen mattress set...The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Plush Pillowtop. 

It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. Obviously the pillowtop felt great in the store and I went for it...oops. 

It was $1850, delivered for mattress + box spring. I got a great deal. 

I am 6'3" 210 and my gf is 5'9" 115. We are 25 yrs old. 

My Serta Perfect Sleeper pillowtop is one year old and has DESTROYED my back. 

The sagging pillowtop is not even the issue however...the deep support just isn't there. 

Let's say I cancel my order right now and go buy Simmons Beautyrest and latex topper that you often recommend.

What would be the equivalent to this model I mentioned?...total price for that  + latex topper?

Thanks, Don...with a sore back.

 

Hi Don,

 

The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm queen set is $1349.00.
