Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Plus Size People with DDD.

Michele writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are "plus size people". He is 6'1" and weighs 255 lbs. I am 5'1" and weigh 200 lbs. 

He has been diagnosed with DDD and bone spurs. We both have constant tension in our backs. He suffers with pain everyday. 

We currently have a Sleep Number bed that we have been sleeping on for the last 3 years....and we hate it. 

What do you think would be a good bed for us? 

Thanks for your help! Michele

 

 

Hi Michele,

An air mattress does not provide the push back support your spine needs...anyone's spine. Displacement is not proper support.

A large man with DDD requires a firm mattress, with coils pushing back up against you, that will remain firm over many years. 

In addition, you will also need a comfortable sleeping surface that will also retain its comfort over the long term. 

The problem with most of today's mattresses is that they aren't made well...not like they had been only 15 years ago. 

Today, mattresses are loaded with memory foam...made to be replaced frequently.

For people who suffer from disc problems, this reduction in quality is simply unacceptable.

 

We carry a line of high quality mattresses that will work for the two of you....providing the proper support, comfort and longevity.

We are large people, as well...and with plenty of disc problems of our own.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress that we use at home, is the best we've tested, over the years.

There are 5 models in the line, with the Plush Eurotop being the most comfortable of them.

You're Not Stuck, Buying One Bad Mattress After Another.

Hello Everyone,

I copied this from Facebook.

I was struck by the how this message applies to shopping for a mattress.

The old habit of going to a store and picking one out, works against you in today's mattress market.

The memory foam, used by all the major brands, is purposefully meant to be deceptive.

The comfort you feel in he showroom, begins to wane withing a few months of purchase.

Mattresses upholstered with memory foam are designed to need frequent replacing.

To avoid buying one bad mattress after another, you need to avoid mattresses that use memory foam upholstery layers.

 

You are much better off with a retailer who is trained to recommend a mattress that addresses your particular needs.

You'd do well to look at the components of the mattress, and educate yourselves as to which are higher quality.

When you walk into a mattress store, today, it's a sea of mattresses...all loaded with memory foam.

After listening to the salesperson hype that junk, you'll think that memory foam is something good. It isn't.

 

You're Not Stuck buying one bad  mattress after another....not if you change your shopping habits.

 

 

ALSO IMPORTANT:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Hi Pete,

We have a Pure Latex Bliss hybrid mattress in our guest room.

My son wants one to take to college.

I don't see them on your website. 

Does this mean you are no longer selling them?

Hi Nancy,

Simmons Beautyrest Black Alexia Extra Firm Mattress.

Matt writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I noticed your website and you seem to be the best person to ask.

I noticed that Simmons Beautyrest Black line model names have changed.

What did they replace the Alexia extra firm model with? 

Or if I was looking to get a mattress with the firmness and feel of the Alexia, which model would you recommend?

Thanks, Matt 

 

Hi Matt,

Model names change frequently...every year or two.

There has been no significant changes to the specifications of the extra firm model, for many years...just a string of name changes.

The current models is the Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm.

A Latex Topper for the Flip Side of a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Nate writes:

Hi Pete,

I've been reading through your blogs and information on your site - many thanks for providing this to the public and your customers.

I'd like to request your help on how we can best improve our sleep, comfort, and resolve our mattress problems and mornings waking with pain. Approx. 1.5 years ago we purchased a Tempurpedic mattress. (I can't recall the exact model, but believe it's one of the "plush" versions).  

Yes, it felt great in the showroom and we fell for the misinformation of all the "technology and memory foam"  BS.  

It did feel good for maybe the first 6 months, after which the memory foam lost it's density and loft to where we started sinking deep into it.  

The nights became tossing & turning to get comfortable, and waking with upper and middle back pain, and lower back and shoulder pain.  

We are both back / side sleepers.  

I, later, purchased a 2" memory foam topper from Serta that was supposed to be high quality and would last better than most.

However, it proved to be the same story - helpful at first, but within 6 months, we're back with the restless nights and painful mornings.

 

We're now looking to replace the memory foam topper with a latex one.  

What we're unsure of is which size (2" or 3") and firmness (soft, medium, firm) would be best for us and our situation.  

I initially thought of going for a 3" firm, but after reading some of your information it sounds as that may be overcompensation.  

Note that we feel our mattress is significantly too soft and non-supportive.  I am also not sure if this Tempurpedic can be flipped.

Hoping you can advise on the best solution to our problem so we can finally have the sleep we want and need!  

Looking forward to your insight.

Thanks, Nate

Hi Nate,

Memory foam is terrible when it comes to longevity, quickly losing what little comfort it has.

Adding a latex topper will not compensate for the lack of support offered by your mattress.

Latex is nothing like memory foam. It isn't temperature sensitive and doesn't allow you to sink.

Despite what it says, flip the mattress over and add an EverEden Pure, All Natural, 2" of Soft Talalay Latex Topper.

A topper, you buy for surface comfort. The mattress is supposed to provide the support.

 

Once you flip the mattress and add the latex topper, you'll have both...support and comfort...everything your body needs for a good night's sleep.

What's more, this high quality latex remains like new for many years, sleeps cool, and greatly extends the life of your mattress.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm Mattress.

Brent writes:

 

Good Morning! 

I am looking for a new queen size mattress. I am replacing my full pillow top Englander that is 17 + years old. 

It actually has been a great bed for the money. I have chronic lower back problems and sleep on my side or stomach.

I have narrowed my search down to this mattress, but I am always open to suggestions. 

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in Luxury Firm. 

I am really at a loss for what I should buy at this point. 

Hi Brent

 

Hi Brent,

The biggest problem you'll run into is overcoming your expectations, based on what you've been used to.

17 years ago, it was nearly impossible to buy a bad mattress. Today, the opposite is true

And while the Simmons Beautyrest Black is the best of what the name brands have to offer, you won't get anywhere near 17 years out of it.

 

To get the extra longevity out of that mattress, you'll need to add a latex topper to it.

My wife and I, each over 200 lbs., tested this same mattress and latex topper at home.

We had it for 4 years and our son and his wife have had it for the last 3 years. The mattress is, still, in like new condition...thanks to the latex topper.

Latex is extremely resilient, as well as comfortable...absorbing your body weight, so the mattress lasts a whole lot longer than it normally would.

 

Here are links to that mattress and to the EverEden pure, all natural latex toppers.

Old Bemco Mattress Needs a Soft Latex Topper.

Lisa writes:

 

Hi Pete,

In the past 6 months I've been waking up with stiff, sore achy joints/body that I was attributing to getting older.  

After going on vacation and sleeping on beds that felt much softer, I now believe the problem is a too firm mattress.  

My mattress is a Bemco Posture Splendor that is 19 yrs. old but still seems in pretty good shape believe it or not. 

I specifically liked the feel of the Elite Sensational Pillowtop by Sealy at TI in Vegas. It truly felt like sleeping on a cloud!

Is it time for a new mattress and if so, what would you suggest?  Do you think just a latex topper would be sufficient? 

Also, time for a new pillow as well. I prefer a pillow that's very soft and supportive, not mushy allowing your head to sink down to the mattress.  

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Lisa

 

Hi Lisa,

A Latex topper is your best first choice in dealing with the mattress you have....providing the surface comfort you are presently lacking.

That Sealy mattress, you liked so much, isn't nearly as well made.

The EverEden Vytex Dunlop Topper is Pure, All Natural Latex...the best quality latex available. A 2" Soft Topper is all you'll need.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper for Heavy People with Fibromyalgia.

Cindy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have fibromyalgia and cervical spinal disc disease. 

My husband and I need a new mattress that will be comfortable for us both. 

We're heavy people, both weighing over 250 lbs. 

I am allergic to latex and I have noticed that it is recommended for my illness. We live in Southern California. 

Would love to know what you recommend. 

You have been in business along time. 

And from what I have noticed from the testimonials, you know what you are talking about and do not steer people in the wrong direction whether they buy from you or not. 

I would like to get a good bed that will last and has a warranty, but also fits our budget and can be delivered to us with minimal amount for shipping. Thank you for your time. Look forward to hearing from you,

Sincerely, Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

Let's start with your latex allergy. If your allergy is typical...a skin reaction to latex gloves and bandages, then you have nothing to worry about.

Latex foam is processed in such a way, as to remove the allergen that is naturally present in the sap from the rubber tree.

All latex foam is hypoallergenic. And, there is the Vytex process, that make it virtually allergen free.

Latex is thee best upholstery material on the planet.

It's extremely comfortable, making it ideal for reliving the pain from Fibromyalgia.

And, latex is far more resilient than anything else, making it ideal for long term use under heavy people.

 

The mattress needs to be supportive enough to hold the weight, and pliable enough to not fight the fibro.

For that reason, we'll start off with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in Luxury Firm.

Vytex Dunlop Latex Toppers and Mattresses are, Virtually, Allergen Free.

Hello Everyone,

 

In response to a recent post, concerning Latex Allergies, there is a new all-natural latex foam for mattresses and toppers.

Vytex Dunlop Latex was introduced the first 100% Allergen Free Latex Foam ever made.

While most of the allergen, (The Protein), is removed from all other latex, which allows it to be called "hypo-allergenic", a little of the protein remains.

This allergen is typically reacted to topically, meaning you have to touch it to feel the effects...a common occurrence with latex gloves and bandages.

With most latex mattresses, you would have, usually, 3 layers of fabric that prevent you from reacting to it, if you do have a latex allergy.

Through the Vytex latex process, 100% of the allergen is removed. 

Vytex Latex Foam comes with 5 different certifications for quality, purity and as eco/green.

Another unique property of Vytex Latex foam is that it has the feel of Talalay and the durability of Dunlop. 

 

This latex is now available. 

Those of you with a latex allergy, now have a latex foam option that will be worry free for you....and, in a choice of comfort levels.
