Back Pain I Attribute to an Unsupportive Mattress.

Chris writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are looking for a new mattress. I'm 260 lbs. She's about 130 lbs. 

I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her back. 

I occasionally have lower back pain after sleeping, which I attribute to an increasingly unsupportive mattress.

Can you recommend something that will give us a great night sleep?

Thank you, Chris

 

Hi Chris,

I do have something that will give you a great night's sleep that will do so long term.

It would be the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

My wife and I are large people, each over 200 lbs.

And, I have lots of disc related back problems, accumulated over the years.

Our mattress is 5 years old and, still, in like new condition...with not so much as a dent in it.

And even though my back has seen better days, I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain.

That mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

EverEden Latex Mattress Toppers.

Jillian writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We've purchased a number of products, from you, over the years.

One of these products was an EverEden latex mattress topper, which we loved and was looking to buy another.

But when I click on the link I had for that, it takes me to the Pure Bliss latex mattress toppers.

What happened to the EverEden toppers?

Thanks, Jillian

 

Hi Jillian,

EverEden has had a change of ownership....the original owner's son.

The new owner has abandoned latex for the more lucrative memory foam.

I've seen retailers go downhill after the sons take over. 

This is the 1st time I've seen this happen to a manufacturer.

It's always a pity to see a know-it-all child that a business that a father has built and substitute quality for profits.

 

So, rather than have a dead link out there, which appears in so many of our older posts, I decided to tie that link to the Pure Bliss Latex Topper page.

You'll be just as happy with the results. My wife and I use a 3" Plush Pure Bliss Latex Topper on our mattress at home.

It's just as comfortable and just as long lasting as the EverEden was.

Here is the Pure Bliss Latex Mattress Toppers link:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

 

However, you'll have to wait a bit.

Due to the slow reopening after the pandemic shutdown, Pure Bliss has suspended taking new orders.

I'm expecting and hoping that situation will change soon...once more of their workers get back to work.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if everything gets back to normal on Nov. 4th....as if by magic.

A Good Quality, Inexpensive Mattress. Financing?

Jane writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are in a tight spot.

We, desperately, need a new mattress, but can't afford one.

We are waiting for my husband to be called back to work, but that hasn't happened yet.

The prices I've been seeing, for a good quality mattress, are way too high.

What is your best recommendation for a good quality mattress that is inexpensive?

And, do you offer financing?

Thanks, Jane

 

Hi Jane,

We do have a mattress that will fit into anyone's budget.

It's a good quality, old fashioned, two sided mattress.

The individually pocketed coils are made of tempered steel, and there's no memory foam in it.

Both of these features add to the durability.

Made by Wolf, The Brolynn Mattress is available in Firm, Plush or Duo Comfort.

The price is low. The quality is very good. And, financing is available through PayPal at checkout.

A High Quality Mattress with an Adjustable Bed Base.

Marty writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are considering an adjustable bed base for our master bedroom.

We aren't small people, so it has to be a high quality mattress. We want it to last a good long time.

We already know that we do not want anything with memory foam, thanks your informative blog.

We'd like to buy from you, as most stores only offer mattresses with memory foam in them.

Please offer a recommendation that will work for us.

Thanks, Marty

 

Hi Marty,

I have just the thing for you and your wife.

The mattress is very high quality. It's the same mattress my wife and I sleep on, at home.

We, too, are not small people...each over 200 lbs. 

Our mattress is now 5 years old, and without so much as a dent in it.

The adjustable bed base that we offer with it, is also very high quality.

The Magniflex Adjustable Beds are designed by Italians, engineered by Germans, made in the US, the best of all worlds.

The mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress offers good, firm, contouring support, using double tempered steel, individually pocketed coils.

The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex...comfortable and resilient.

You, simply, can't do better.

The adjustable bed base arrives via UPS and assembles easily.

Both come with free delivery and no sales tax.

Bought a New Mattress a Month Ago. Sent it Back.

Diana writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m hoping you will be the answer to our search for a new mattress.  

We bought a new mattress after much searching online, a little over a month ago.  

We spent $1200 on it which is way more than we ever have spent on a mattress.  

The first night, I couldn’t make it through the night without going to sleep on another bed in the house.  

After that I got used to it but wouldn’t say I was in love with it.  

My husband too tried to like it, but he is having knee and back issues.  

 

After getting comfortable he would wake up an hour later and have a hard time turning over. 

And it was hurting his back because the mattress sunk in too much for him.  

It was considered a luxury firm.  

We, unfortunately, had to return it. And of course, they have to give it to charity because they can’t resell it.  

That broke my heart but we did find a good organization to donate it to.  

I just don’t want to go through all of that again.

 

My husband is 6’2, 225 pounds and I am 5’6” and 140 pounds.  We are both 62.  

We know we don’t want any memory foam. They are just too hot on any we have slept on.  

He wants a firm mattress and I prefer plush (sure you’ve heard that a million times).  

I am willing to sacrifice to insure he can get a good night's rest and not be in pain.

 

I looked at your website for the different kinds of mattresses and I’m still unsure of what would be best for us.  

The old innerspring mattresses were great.  

Don’t mind a little comfort on top just as long as he doesn’t sink down into it.

 

Thanks for your help, Diana

 

Hi Diana,

The problems with the sinking, not being able to turn over, the back pain...all thanks to the memory foam. 

Had you kept it longer, the list of problems would have gotten longer, as well.

I have a very well made mattress that both of you will enjoy.

The individually pocketed coils are firm, made of double tempered steel.

The upholstery is comfortable enough to cushion the curves of the female body.

Firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine...reliving your husband’s back pain...and soft enough at the surface to make you comfy.

The upholstery is a combination of latex and poly foams...NO Memory Foam.

A Mattress That Will Relieve My Back Pain.

Annette writes:

 

Hello Pete, 

A friend of a friend highly recommended you!
I suffer from back pain. From my neck all the down to my lower back. Emphasis on my mid back. 

I'm on the larger side 5'2" 220 and my husband 5'7" 180. 

We bought a mattress in January 2020 and it has started to sink on my side, causing even more pain. 

I desperately need a recommendation for a mattress that will relieve my back pain.

My husband is in the military, Infantry, so very labor intensive at times but overall sleeps great no matter the mattress. Please help! 

Thanks, Annette

 

Hi Annette,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is my recommendation.

It will give you the support, comfort and longevity you need and want.

Is The Mattress Expert Website Secure?

Hi Pete,

I've been reading your blog posts and have been to your website.

I like what you have to say and am wanting to order one of your Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.

(I believe you have the ultra plush model at your home)

My question is, Is your website secure? I wouldn't want my personal and credit card information hacked.

What can you tell me about that? 

Respectfully, Kevin

 

 

 

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for that question. Believe it or not, you are the 1st to ask about that...after all this time.

Security is a top priority with us, here at The Mattress Expert.

If you order online, the credit card program that accepts your cc information is so secure, that even I can't access it.

I can issue refunds, if necessary, but I can't add to your charge.

That program has never been hacked.

 

If you place your order with me, directly over the phone, all of your information goes through a shredder after I've processed the sale.

 

Even here, on our blog posts, I do not publish last names....even though I am often given a last name, as you have.

I'll even change the first name, if it's uncommon or unique.

 

We've been doing this, online, for 17 years.

In fact, we are one of the first online mattress retailers in the country, servicing the entire continental US.

For the last several years, we have also been serving the mainland of Canada.

Mattresses for Lightweight People, One with a Scoliosis Body Brace.

Mr. J writes:

 

Hello, Pete

I discovered your web site while researching mattresses. 

I am searching for a new queen and twin mattress for lightweight people.

The queen is for my wife and I. We are both side sleepers weighing under 150 lbs. each with no medical conditions. 

The twin would be for our teen daughter. She is about a 110 lbs., scoliosis and wears a body brace to sleep.

Some nights she is very uncomfortable. Her current mattress is a standard store bought model with no extra padding.

 

Is your business a wholesale mattress seller or a warehouse? How do you ship and who does the deliveries? 

Before shopping at the usual outlets, I would like to see what you have to offer.

Sincerely, Mr. J

Hello Mr. J,

We are an online mattress retailer...one of the first, actually...since 2003.

The mattresses I’m recommending for both of your needs, ship via UPS.

 

At your sizes, you can get a high quality mattress that offers excellent support, comfort and longevity.

That mattress is The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Tulah.

Shown here: 

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/

 

The coils are very strong, made of double tempered steel.

The upholstery is a combination of latex and poly foams.

There is No Memory Foam in this mattress.

 

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Tempurpedic Memory Foam Mattress is Causing Pain, Sleeps Hot.

Nate writes:

 

Hi Pete,

About 5 years ago, my wife and I bought a Tempurpedic mattress, after having terrible luck with a latex bed from Mattress Giant that broke down after just a couple years.  

 

Since buying the Tempurpedic, I've developed constant shoulder/chest pain, neck and back discomfort, and numbness in my arms from time to time. I believe it's the memory foam causing our pain.

My wife said she tries to sleep on her back because she has some of the same issues I've described above.  

I am almost always a side sleeper, and would hate to buy a new mattress to just run into the same issue.

And, this mattress sleeps hot.  

 

What would you recommend we do about this?

Thanks, Nate

 

Hi Nate,

Quality Latex doesn’t break down.

The latex mattress you bought was likely made in China, where they use clay as a filler. 

Chinese latex is known to break down quickly.

 

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

Besides all the problems you mentioned, it off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made, creating a health hazard.

It's no less than a horrible product.

 

Here is a link to The Wolf Hybrid Mattresses...using a pocketed coil and latex upholstery. (Not Chinese latex).

The Adara is firmer stronger than the Tulah, which is the more comfortable of the two.

Both will provide the support you need to solve your problems.
