Hi Pete,
I should have listened to you 4+ years ago. I was between 2 Sealy all foam mattresses. I selected the thicker one and you cautioned against that. You were right. The mattress failed.
I am now ready to return to an innerspring mattress. I am 57 and generally a side sleeper, about 5'11", 177 lbs and stay in shape.
I first went to Bloomingdales and liked the Stearns and Foster when I saw it the first time.
I went back a few weeks later and it seemed too firm and I didn't like it as much.
I went to a large chain retailer and after going through the S&F Estate mattresses, some of which felt fine on my side, made me feel I was sinking too much when I went to my back.
I then came to a S&F basic model. I have read on your blog your recommendation of a basic S&F model in luxury firm with a 2" Latex topper for heavy-set folks.
So, for my height and weight, do you have any recommendations?
Thanks very much, James
Hi James,
That was an older post, you read. Much has changed in the past few years. Since our last go-round, Tempurpedic has acquired both, Sealy and S&F, and loaded both lines with memory foam.
Another frequent recommendation was a Simmons Beautyrest World Class in luxury Firm with a 2" Soft latex topper. The Wold Class has since been discontinued.
All of the name brands have substituted quality for frequent sales. In short, they have all betrayed the trust they spent decades building with the consumer.
A corporate greed mindset has a grip on all those brands. The mattresses they produce require frequent replacing due to all the memory foam they use.
Over the last few years, we've been promoting a Canadian company, "Natura". They make a number of products, but their "Greenspring" line is what I recommend.
The Greenspring models use a twice tempered individually pocketed coil system...stronger and with a higher coil count than any of the major brands.
More importantly, the upholstery they use is natural Talalay Latex, and the contain NO Memory Foam.
My wife and I, both 50 lbs. heavier than you, have had one of these mattresses in our master bedroom for the past year. It shows zero signs of wear.
It carries a 20 year warranty, and is likely to exceed that mark, while the name brands don't come close to lasting as long as their warranties..
Of the 5 models in the line, the Liberty Plush Eurotop is the most comfortable.
The Liberty Ultra Plush model produces that in between feel...not too firm and not too soft...a feel that so many people prefer.
In short...it's a long lasting, well supportive, comfortable mattress...all due to high quality of the components used.
The purchase of a separate latex topper is not needed for longevity...as it would be with many of today's mattress that use memory foam.
Here is a link to that line:
