Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress to Relieve Back Pain.

John writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We can’t thank you enough for your recommendation.

My wife and I love The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress we bought from you.

I expected it to be good while it was still new.

But now, it’s over a year old and still like new.

 

I’m an older, large man with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease.

Prior to buying this mattress, I was in constant pain.

We had purchased a couple of the heavily advertised mattresses that promised to relieve my pain, 

but they only made it worse within months of getting them.

 

I found your blog while researching what had gone wrong with the choices I had made.

That’s when I learned, from you, that it was the memory foam in those mattresses that was making my pain worse.

 

Now, my back damage still causes me pain as the day wears on.

But as soon as I lay down on this mattress, the pain subsides.

I sleep through the night without pain and wake without pain.

This has been going on every day for the last year...ever since I’ve had this mattress.

 

Life is good. Well, better anyway, now that I’m getting a pain free, good night’s sleep.

No one else was able to help me. Your advice was spot on.

Thank you again, John

 

P.S. I recommend you to any and everyone I come across, who is in the market for a new mattress.
As far as I’m concerned, you’re the only one to ask.

 

Thank you, John, for this testimonial...especially now, that you’ve had it a while.

Oddly enough, I have a similar situation as you.

I have bulging discs in addition to your list of back problems. I hit the trifecta.

By the end of day, I have lots of back pain.

Like you, that pain is relieved as soon as I lie down.

(My wife and I have the same mattress.)

And like you, I sleep and wake without pain.

I’m happy for you, John. And I fully appreciate you referring us to others.

Our business relies on our blog and word of mouth referrals, as we do no advertising.

I'm on my 3rd memory foam mattress in 5 years!

Darlene writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm on my 3rd memory foam mattress in 5 years!  

Actually, my husband is still on the memory foam.

I'm currently sleeping on a good quality air mattress on the floor. That's how bad my bad hurts.  

I've tried everything - turned the "no flip" on the hard side and added a memory foam topper - added another memory foam topper on top of the "good" side of the mattress....  

Having read and reread your website, I am currently wondering if a firm latex mattress topper over the memory foam mattress will help - or am I just wasting more money?

 

I am 66 - my husband is 75.  I weigh 165 lbs and sleep on my side.  

My husband weighs 200 lbs and sleeps on his back.  

Thank you in advance for any assistance, Darlene 

 

Hi Darlene,

Since you’ve read my blog, you must have figured out that your problem has been the memory foam all along.

No. Adding a firm latex topper to the top of a memory foam mattress will not produce the results you’re looking for.

 

Your memory foam mattress isn’t all memory foam.

The memory foam is only on the top.

The memory foam is supported by high density poly foam.

 

As a first step, buy a Pure Talalay Bliss 3” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

Shown here:

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

When it arrives, flip your mattress over and add the latex topper.

Get rid of all your memory foam toppers. They’re worthless.

 

Doing this will give you firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

When the time comes to buy a new mattress, get a firm individually pocketed coil innerspring and use that same topper on top of it.

At your ages and weights, an all foam mattress is not helpful for relieving your back pain.

 

Thanks, Pete

*************************************************

 

Thank you, Pete, for such a quick response!  

Since we've considered, for years, switching to a king mattress, I think we'll follow your suggestion of the firm individually pocketed coil innerspring and get a king latex topper for that!!!!  

I'm thinking that will last us for the rest of our lives!!!!

I went searching, online, for a mattress, but I can't find one that doesn't have memory foam on top.  

Is there anything out there?
Thanks, Darlene

 

Hi Darlene,

Since you’re changing mattresses anyway, then let me recommend that which we use at home.

Stores push memory foam because that’s where the money is.

Look how often you’ve replaced your mattress.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

 

The latex topper is an excellent way to thwart the efforts of the industry.

It’s an excellent way to turn a bad mattress into something much better.

But since you’re getting a new mattress, a quality mattress upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex and containing no memory foam, doesn’t need a latex topper.

 

Of course, such a mattress isn’t easy to find.

We had to shop at the trade shows to find what we offer. 

They are not readily available at stores.

The one we have also has the strongest coil unit, of all the individually pocketed coil units available...adding to the durability, along with the latex upholstery.

 

Most memory foam mattresses are sold with a solid foundation, so you will need the mattress only.

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Shown here:

Liberty Ultra Plush | The Mattress Expert Ensure better health and well being with the Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress…(aka Laurel/Liberty). You’ll delight in the comfort of natural wool, latex and plant-based foam while you enjoy the support of our 5-zoned coil unit. themattressexpert.com

That mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up on your bed, removal of all packing materials, and removal of your old mattress.

That delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

The mattress is made factory fresh to fill your order, and takes about 3” weeks to arrive.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

**************************************************

That's Fantastic!!!

Once again, thank you.  

I'm following you on facebook. 

I'm going to start my own campaign with all my friends who are suffering with memory foam mattresses!!!

How Old is This Hotel Mattress?

Cyndi writes:

 

Help please, Pete

How can I tell in what year this hotel mattress was made? 

Thank You, Cyndi

 

Hi Cyndi,

The white "law label" that is sewn into the head edge of the mattress, gives the date of manufacture.

Model names change every year or two and model names vary from store to store....and hotel to hotel.

 

**************

 

Thank you, Peter, for your prompt response !

Very impressive !!!

Found it. It's 25 years old.

 

Wow! An antique.

It's in Hawaii Molokai at the old Sheraton 

We bought a condo there and will buy a new mattress soon !!! I hope.

Is there one like it available today?

Thanks so much 

Mahalo, Cyndi 

 

 

Hi Cyndi,

Without knowing which mattress you're looking at, I can assure you that there is no mattress, made today, 

that is anything like any 25 year old mattress.

Which Latex Mattress Topper?

Stephen writes:

 

Hello Peter, 

I'm trying to figure out which topper to get. 

My old mattress has lost the support I need. 

Your site recommends a latex mattress topper for this scenario. 

I prefer a soft surface. Could you give any advice? 

I am a 6'3" male weighing 165 lbs. 

Thanks, Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Support comes from the mattress.

Surface comfort can be had from a latex topper.

Many of today's one sided mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.

It's the memory foam that fails.

Flip your mattress over. The underside is firmer and has no memory foam.

THIS will restore the support you need.

To make that side comfortable, add a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

You will then have what your body needs to sleep well...and, it will last a very long time.

Natural Latex is far more resilient than petrochemical based memory foam.

Here is a link where you can view and order your latex topper:

Stearns and Foster Mattress Reviews.

Fred writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm confused about your reviews on Stearns and Foster Mattresses.

I've read many of your blog posts and see that your recommendations concerning S&F mattresses have changed.

Can you tell me why and what has changed?

We are looking for a top quality mattress.

Thanks, Fred

 

Hi Fred,

Tempurpedic bought Sealy/Stearns and Foster in 2013. 

The S&F line changed dramatically in January of 2014, when they added a substantial amount of memory foam to each of their models.

Prior to that, there were a number of S&F models that we recommended that had no memory foam in them.

Memory foam is the worst material ever invented for use in a mattress. 

Besides the poor performance, the material off-gasses the toxic chemicals from which it is made.

 

We stopped carrying more than 5 years ago. We do not recommend, any of today's S&F models.

We have found and offer much better quality mattress, using all natural latex, instead of memory foam.

The best of them are The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

The quality of these mattresses is far greater than any of today's S&F mattresses.

Here is a link to those mattresses.

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

These mattresses come with White Glove Delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

Stuck Exchanging Our Name Brand Mattress at the Store.

Anne writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I've been reading your blog posts and like what I read about your latex mattress toppers.

We have a mattress we're not happy with. It softened too much, too quickly. 

We have to do our exchange at the store we bought from.

So, we are stuck with a name brand mattress with memory foam. 

I was just hoping one might be less hot than the rest.

We will use a Pure Bliss latex topper once we get the new mattress.

Thanks for all the helpful information, Anne

 

Hi Anne,

I'm sorry to hear that you're stuck...one of the disadvantages of the comfort exchange scam.

Another pitfall is getting a used mattress that someone else sent back.

To be sure this doesn't happen to you, check the plastic in which the mattress is covered.

It should be heat sealed on all four edges.

If one of those edges is taped closed, you know it's been out of the bag.

 

Best advice under these circumstances:

Get a mattress that is firmer than you think you like. This will be better support for your spine.

Add a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to that for surface comfort that will remain like new.

The latex will insulate you from the memory foam, be more comfortable for a much longer period of time, and extend the life of the mattress.

Pure Bliss Latex Topper for a Duxiana Mattress.

Kayla writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have the chance to purchase 2 used twin extra long Duxiana mattresses for only $250 ea. 

The owner used the two twins with a king size box spring and a dux mattress on top of them the entire time.

I was considering buying them and purchasing new dux latex mattress toppers. 

When I looked into that, the price they are charging is outrageously expensive.

Then I found your site and the saw that your Dux customers are buying Pure Bliss latex toppers from you.

The prices are a lot less expensive, so I'll be getting them from you.

Do I go with the 2" or 3"?...Plush or Firm?

Thanks for your help, Kayla

 

Hi Kayla,

All of my Dux customers replace their old toppers with the 3" Plush

In fact, we use that same latex topper at home. It is very comfy.

Saatva Mattress on Consumer Reports 2019 Issue.

Laura writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Just read the latest, 2019 Consumer Reports issue on mattresses. 

First of all, they highly rate the Saatva Pocketed Coil/Memory Foam Hybrid.

What is your opinion of this mattress?

Thanks, Laura

 

Hi Laura,

Going back some years, a CR's mattress issue stated that the mattress industry was far too complex for them to understand. They made no recommendations. They then received some flack for that bit of honesty. 

So, 6 months later, CR interviewed 100 people in Denver and based their recommendations on those interviews.

Today, CR is using outdated machines to test mattresses. 

These machines had been used for decades to test the durability of mattresses.

What's different today? 

Today, mattresses are filled with memory foam. In the past, they were filled with poly foam.

Poly foam, like latex foam, cotton and all of the other materials, previously used, were pressure sensitive materials.

The machines, currently being used, apply pressure to determine the resiliency and durability of mattresses.

Memory foam is not only pressure sensitive, it is also temperature sensitive. 

It absorbs the heat that the body gives off, softens from it, then compresses.

The machines used by CR, the old machines from decades ago, which apply no heat.

You can't test a temperature sensitive product, like memory foam, using machines that only test pressure...and expect to come up with accurate results.

When it comes to mattresses, CR doesn't know what they are doing.

The statement they made, in that first issue, was the only thing they got right. 

They simply do not understand the complexities of today's mattress industry.

 

Their current conclusions are all wrong. If you follow their advice, you will come to learn that the hard way.

 

We specialize in offering high quality alternatives to what the bulk of the mattress industry is offering.

Memory foam performs poorly and has proven itself to be the worst upholstery material ever invented, over it's short 20 year history.

Natural Latex foam, conversely, is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

If you would like the support of an individually pocketed coil and have it last for many years, being upholstered with latex instead of memory foam, then consider the Natura of Canada Greenspring.

There are 4 models in that line, with the Ultra Plush model being the most comfortable of them.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Latex Topper.

Carole writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I have found a Simmons Beautyrest Platinum mattress...with a Euro pillowtop.  

It has plant-based foam and gel infused memory foam as well.  

Would this be a good mattress to use with one of your latex toppers?  

Thanks, Carole

 

Hi Carole,

You’d be better off without the euro pillowtop.

The less memory foam, the better.

And, you want to make sure it’s a Luxury Firm model and not a plush.

The coils are stronger in the firm models.

Firming Up a Mattress that isn't Firm Enough.

William writes:

 

Hello Pete, 

I recently bought a luxury firm mattress, but it’s not quite firm enough for me. 

I toss and turn a lot, and my lower back continues to stiffen up and get sore. 

Are there any options to make a mattress, a bit more firm??

Will a firm latex topper help?

Thanks, William

 

 

Hi William,

A mattress that isn’t firm enough, compensated by a firm latex topper, provides the body with the exact opposite of what it needs.

The body’s core requires firm support, while the exterior of the body needs a soft sleeping surface.

 

My recommendation is to first flip the mattress over.

The underside is much firmer.

Add to that, a Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

Shown here:

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

Thanks, Pete

 

***********************************************

 

An update.

I took your advice and flipped the mattress over, as a temporary solution. 

I’m not sure if it was just “beginners luck,” but I slept better last night, than I have, in WEEKS. 

Thank you for the advice. 

I'll check out your latex toppers.

William

Excellent!
I’m happy to have helped.
