Hello Pete,
We have a Stearns and Foster Worth Avenue mattress from 2007, and are feeling it's nearing time for a replacement.
We don't have to hit Christmas sale prices, and are thinking more of a late springtime or early summer purchase.
We have loved the firmness and support of this over the years, and would love basically the same thing again.
Any specific recommendations?
Last time I think we spent approximately $1500, and we'd be in the same range now.
Thanks, Marc
Hi Marc,
Much has changed over the years since you last bought a mattress.
6 years later, Sealy and S&F were sold to Tempurpedic.
Everything they make, today, is loaded with memory foam.
There is no memory foam in the mattress you have, which is why yours performed so well for so long.
You’d be lucky to get a couple of years of comfortable sleep from one made today.
Sealy, too.
Serta and Simmons were purchased by an investment group.
All of today’s name brands are upholstered with memory foam for the sole purpose of selling more mattresses more frequently to the same people...and maximizing profits.
It’s a pity, really. S&F had been considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades. Now, its nothing more than expensive junk.
For someone like yourself, essentially stepping out of a time warp, it’s an expensive and painful experience....simply going to a store to buy a new mattress.
In short, there is no replacement for the one you have.
What you thought would be easy, becomes a matter of starting from scratch.
And, you have one goal...avoiding memory foam.
What I’ve shared with you is in stark contrast to the ads and sales pitches you’ll encounter. Memory foam is sold as the best thing since sliced bread.
It’s all lies. Memory foam is not only a lousy product, most of it is also a health hazard...off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
There is no one policing this industry.
It’s a good thing you have time to research.
Write back to me when you’re ready to buy, and I’ll offer you a recommendation.
Things change regularly, in this industry.
A recommendation made today, may not be available in the spring or summer.
Thanks, Pete

Yikes! Sounds dire..
I will write when we have more saved up.
Just for a small piece of advice for a savings goal, if we wanted to aim for the same quality or materials, approximately how much should we expect to save?
Thanks, Marc
Hi Marc,
We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer, exclusively, for many years.
White Glove Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
When Tempurpedic bought them in 2013, I knew what would happen...so we dropped both lines.
We then went shopping at the trade show...every 6 mos. for 4 years.
It wasn’t easy finding high quality alternatives.
So, after years of home testing a variety of options, the Natura of Canada Greenspring is the line of mattresses that’s the best.
We’ve had ours for more than 3 years now.
My wife and I are heavy...about 225 lbs. each.
I have lots of disc related back problems.
The mattress shows no signs of wear.
I live without pain.
There are 4 models in their line. The Ultra Plush model is the one we have at home.
