Questions about the Wolf Brolynn Two-Sided Mattresses.

Tricia writes:
 
Hi Pete,  
After searching and saving, I'm finally ready to buy!
My questions are about the Wolf Brolynn two-sided mattresses.  
1.  Which do you recommend? 
2.  Are they all flippable?
3. Why they advertised as having absolutely no foam? When I scroll down, it mentions it DOES contain foam?
 
If you would clear this up for me, I'll be purchasing tonight!
Thank you, Tricia
 
Hi Tricia,
All mattresses have foam, of which there are a variety of types.
Memory foam is the worst of them.
 
The upholstery material is natural plant-based poly foam.
These mattresses have no memory foam and no chemicals.
 
The Wolf Brolynn is available: Plush both sides, Firm both sides, and Duo Comfort...Plush one side, Firm one side.
All three are flippable.
The Duo Comfort is particularly good for a guest bedroom when you don’t know what your guest will prefer or when you know that different guests prefer different feels.
For a child, Plush both sides is what to get.
 
Here is a link to those mattresses:

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

Confused! Back Pain and Numbness on My Mattress.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I ran across your website today as I was researching for my next mattress purchase. I am so confused! 
There are so many brands to choose from, so I thought I would just seek your input instead. :)
 
I am 61, 5'6", and around 260 pounds. I have lower back pain, and have knee joint pain. 
I usually have pressure points on my hips and shoulders. 
Sometimes, I get numbness in my arms and fingers, which goes away when I shift positions. 
I am mostly a side-sleeper.
 
I want to purchase a king-size bed, but can you please direct me to the type of bed I need? 
I don't like to sink into a bed, but I did sleep once on a Holiday Inn Simmons Beautyrest "Dream Bed"
That's what the hotel called it - and it was very comfortable. 
The bed in my second bedroom is a Sleep Number.
I don't find it to be the best sleep consistently - sometimes good, sometimes not.
 
What type of bed do I need? Thanking you in advance for any input you can provide!
Denise
 
Hi Denise,
When you consider that all of the name brands, brands you could trust for quality at one time, have been sold...now upholstering their mattresses with memory foam, and that many of the other brands are also upholstering their mattresses with memory foam, this whole business of buying a mattress becomes a lot less confusing.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
To make a successful purchase, you must avoid any mattress that has memory foam in it. That narrows your choices, considerably.
 
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat. 
The heavier parts of your body sink, while your arms don’t, causing that numbness in your arms and fingers.
Memory foam sleeps hot, causes back pain to worsen, and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made...attacking your respiratory system....a health hazard, as well as a poor-quality products.
 
Your sleep number bed is a bag of air, providing inadequate support and, it’s upholstered with memory foam.
 
Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, made for hotels, have no memory foam in them.
These are not available at any retail stores.
You can only get them through a hotel, but they charge a premium price for them.
Still, they don’t wear well under a person your size, as the coils are weak.
 
The mattress I’m recommending uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest, with much stronger coils and a higher coil count.
What’s more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which is and has been the highest quality upholstery material for the last 100 years.
 
Here is a link to The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

This mattress has no memory foam 
White glove delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
 
 
 
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

EverEden All-Natural Latex Mattress with Organic Cotton Cover.

Martin writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Can the organic cotton mattress cover that comes on the EverEden all-natural latex mattress be washed or replaced?
EVEREDEN Topper_side-straps2
Thanks, Martin
 
Hi Martin,
I'll contact the factory to find out for you.
While I await a response, let me suggest a better way to approach the issue.
If you were to use a waterproof mattress protector, there would never be a need to launder nor replace the cover.

Sealy Plush Mattress at the Venetian Hotel.

Thomas writes: Hotelbed-themattressexpert.com
 
Hello Pete,
Thank you for your blog and responses to people questions.  
I have a question about finding the Sealy Venetian plush mattress that you find at Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.  
I read a past blog you had posted.  The link that you provide is no longer active or working.  
Do you have a new recommendation or link of where I can purchase the same mattress?
Respectfully, Thomas
 
Hi Thomas,
For a couple of years, or so, after Tempur-Pedic purchased Sealy, hotel grade mattresses were still available at retail stores.
That is no longer the case.
Sealy mattresses made for retail stores are upholstered with memory foam.
Sealy mattresses made for hotels are upholstered with polyurethane foam, which was how they were made prior to Tempur-Pedic taking them over.
 
You cannot buy a hotel grade Sealy mattress at any retail store.
You can only buy them through a hotel.
 
Thanks to the efforts of one of my readers, I have the contact information you need to do just that...shown here:

Looking for a Sealy Posturepedic Mira Loma 2 Mattress.

Rose writes:
 
Hi Pete.
I am looking for a King size Sealy Posturepedic Mira Loma 2 mattress. 
Costco used to sell it. I would accept a similar mattress.  
It is like buying a car, trying to locate this mattress. 
Thanks, Rose
 
Hi Rose,
That mattress was made more than 10 years ago, and has been long discontinued.
There is nothing on the market that is even similar.
Sealy was sold to Tempur-Pedic in 2013, and changed everything...and not for the better.
At the very least, you can stop wasting your time looking for something that doesn’t exist.
 
If you would like a recommendation for a high-quality mattress that will feel similar and serve you just as well,
consider the Wolf Pocketed Coil Hybrid Tulah mattress, which also has no memory foam in it...like your Mira Loma.

A Reasonably Priced Mattress for a Very Big Man.

William writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm a very big man, 6' 5" and pushing 280 lbs.
I've been reading your blog and see that you often recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring for people my size.
Unfortunately, I can't afford those mattresses.
I'm hoping you can help me find a more reasonably priced alternative.
If it helps, I'm just about to start a Keto Diet.
Complicating all this, is my preference for a nice soft mattress.
Thanks, William
 
Hi William, 
That does help...quite a lot.
I've lost a ton of weight on that diet...and you will too.
I suspect that within a few months, you should be down to about 240 lbs...a good weight for someone your height.
My recommendation comes in two parts.
A mattress that will provide excellent support and longevity is The Wolf Hybrid Adara.
Shown here:
Wolf Adara Latex Innerspring Mattress-The Mattress Expert
This mattress has a good count of double tempered steel coils for excellent durability.
The upholstery is latex. Latex is the best upholstery material, and has been for the last 100 years.
And while considered "plush" the strength of the coils and the resiliency of the latex make it less plush than you'd like.
 
To achieve the surface feel you're look for, add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
 
Not only will this provide you an extremely comfortable sleeping surface, the latex topper will also absorb much of your body weight....greatly reducing the wear of the mattress. 
In several years from now, when the topper needs to be replaced, the mattress will still be in like new condition.
All of this translates into fantastic value for your money.
 
Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.

Replacing a 4 Year Old Stearns and Foster Estate Mattress.

Anne writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I can't tell you how disappointed we are with our Stearns and Foster Estate mattress that is only 4 years old.
It's a king size mattress and from day one, you could see a hump up the center.
I contacted the store, where we bought it. They sent someone out to measure and said it was fine.
We've not been all that comfortable on it for these past few years.
 
I went online to research about this mattress, which is where I found you and your informative blog.
We bought it from a store that offered a comfort guarantee.
This mattress is the one we got after sending back our original choice, so I couldn't exchange it again.
I now know that what we got was a mattress that someone else had sent back...just like you say on your blog.
I feel, totally, ripped off.
 
Anyway, I need a new mattress. 
After reading many of your blog posts, I find myself interested in one of the Wolf mattresses.
We are average size people and would like your opinion as to which one to get.
Do I need to replace the box spring?
Thanks, Anne
 
Hi Anne,
What you bought comes with a very strong box spring, unlike the mattress.
Your box spring does not need to be replaced.
 
Stearns and Foster is now owned by Tempur-Pedic. Everything they make is upholstered with memory foam.
So, even if you had gotten a fresh, unused mattress, it would be worthless by now anyhow. 
Stearns and Foster had been "The Cadillac of the industry" for many decades.
Since January of 2014, when the upholstery changed to memory foam, S&F is nothing more than expensive junk.
 
The Wolf Pocketed Coil, Latex Hybrid mattresses are very well made.
For support, comfort and longevity, I recommend the Tulah model, which is a little cushier than the Adara.
This will be better to cushion the curves of an average size female.
Here is a link to that mattress:

A Full Size Mattress for a Large Woman.

Darlene writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I’ve been trying to find the prices on your mattresses. 
I'm a large woman. I weigh 265 lbs. I need a full size mattress. 
Should I replace my box springs?
Thank you, Darlene
 
Hi Darlene,
For a mattress that will provide excellent support, comfort and longevity for a female of your weight, is
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.
Shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

My wife and I sleep on this mattress.
With each of us over 200 lbs., the mattress is nearly 5 years old and is, still, in like new condition.
Don't let the term "Ultra Plush" throw you. It isn't as soft as it sounds.
 
Yes. You should replace your box spring.
 
This mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old set.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Questions about The Pure Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers.

Stephanie writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Some questions for you:
1) It looks like the Pure Bliss 2" Natural Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers, comes with a cover.  
Is this correct? 
2) Does the cover zipper around the latex topper?
3) How does the topper attach to a mattress?
4) What is the difference between the firm and plush?

Thanks, Stephanie
 
 
 
Good Morning Stephanie,
The Pure Bliss Latex Toppers come complete with the cover.
That is a zippered cover.
The fabric on the underside of the topper is a nonskid cover.
(We use one at home. It never slides and never needs repositioning).
 
The Firm is hard. The Plush is soft.

Fibromyalgia and Numbness in My Hands on a Memory Foam Mattress.

Michelle writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have fibromyalgia. At the advice of a salesman, I bought a memory foam mattress.
I've had this mattress for a couple of years.
At first, it seemed to help my fibro, but not anymore.
Lately, I've been experiencing numbness in my hands.
Does the mattress have anything to do with this?
If so, what can I do about it?
Thanks, Michelle
 
Hi Michelle,
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that your choice of mattress is responsible for the numbness in your hands.
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material.
It softens as it warms from your body heat. When new, that feels good.
But, memory foam is a poor quality material...losing it's resiliency much to quickly.
What's happening, now, is your torso is sinking in too far.
Your arms aren't as heavy as your torso, so they aren't sinking in.
Your torso is down and your arms are up...cutting off the circulation to your extremities...causing your hands to go numb.
This is a common complaint....just one of many different types of complains.
 
The key to a successful mattress purchase is in avoiding any mattress made with memory foam.
As you can see, it didn't take long before it no longer helped your fibromyalgia.
Avoiding memory foam is not as easy as it sounds.
All of the name brands have been sold. All of those brands and many other brands use memory foam.
The purpose of memory foam is to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
Today's once trusted name brands, are now all about profit and not at all about quality...as they had been, years ago.
 
The first thing to do, is flip that mattress over.
The underside of the mattress is not memory foam.
It is, however, very firm...too firm to sleep on comfortably.
So, use whatever you have handy to soften it.
This is a short term solution that will relive your numbness immediately and will cost you nothing.
 
Long term, a new mattress with NO Memory Foam in it.
Such mattresses come at various price points.
An Inexpensive mattress would be The Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Brolynn Mattress in Plush.
Shown here:
Wolf Two-sided mattresses
 
Don't let the low price throw you. It's very well made and will last for many years.
It provides support and comfort that will address your fibromyalgia pain better than your memory foam did when new.
What's more, it will continue to do so for a very long time.
 
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
