A Latex Mattress Topper for People with a Latex Allergy.

Hi Pete,
I like what I read on your blog about latex mattress toppers.
I need to make my mattress more comfortable.
My question is in regard to my latex allergy.
Do you offer a latex topper that won't cause an allergic reaction?
Thanks, Louisa
 
Hi Louisa,
In fact, we do carry a latex mattress topper that won't cause you an allergic reaction.
First off, it's unlikely for you to react to any latex foam topper.
When latex is processed into a foam, removal of most of the allergen in included, rendering latex foam hypoallergenic.
A more resent step has been added to the Dunlop process, called Vytex Dunlop.
This process removes the final small amount of allergen.
For the greatest degree of surface comfort, the EverEden All Natural 3" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is the one to get.
Shown here:

UPS shipping is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Wolf or Natura Greenspring brand mattresses for Side Sleepers?

Gary writes:
 
Hi Pete,
 
What is better for side sleepers, the Wolf or Natura Greenspring brand mattresses?
Thanks, Gary
 
Hi Gary,
Strictly for the sake of pressure point relief at the hip and shoulder...the major sources of pain for a side sleeper...
The Wolf Hybrid Tulah Plush EuroTop Mattress is the one with the best surface comfort.
The individually pocketed coils will maintain the natural alignment of the spine, which also relieves back pain.
The durability of double tempered steel coils makes a good choice for a large person.
Here’s a link to that mattress.

A Mattress Like a Simmons Beautyrest from 2004.

Blake writes:
 
Hello Peter,
My wife and I were discussing buying our third mattress in the last eleven months when I found your website.  
I agree with what I've read on your website that mattresses today are junk and don't last.  
 
I injured my back when I was younger and purchased my first new mattress.
It was a Simmons Beautyrest for my wife and I when we got married in 2004.  
We loved that mattress. When it finally felt worn out, after 10 years, we purchased another one.  
That one lasted only four years before we purchased a Serta, hoping for some longevity.  
Then we had to replace it last Christmas with one that was, amazingly, worse.  
The store we bought it from gave us a new one in February that I'm having a hard time with.  
Out of desperation, we chose the memory foam option on this last one.  What a mistake.  
Thanks to you, I now know why.
 
Anyway, I travel extensively for work and spend at least three weeks a month in hotels.  
I just got home from a trip that involved a stay at a Holiday Inn Express.  
I was able to sleep pain free all week but upon my return home, I began to hurt in my back and shoulder area again.  
That's when my wife suggested we buy whatever the HIE uses and while doing a search to figure that out, I found you.
 
So, what would you recommend for a 48 year old, 6' 6" tall, 290 lb. adult male and a 5' 5" 135 lb. 45 year old female to sleep comfortably like we did in 2004?
 
Thanks for the help, we really appreciate it!
Sincerely, Blake
 
Hi Blake,
Your email just arrives, so my apologies for the delay in answering.
The thing about the Simmons Beautyrests that make it such a comfortable mattress, is the individually pocketed coils.
The thing that makes them such a bad mattress, today, is the memory foam upholstery which is not used in hotel models.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring also uses an individually pocketed coil unit...with a higher coil count and stronger coils than those used in any Simmons Beautyrest. What's more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay latex.
These Greenspring mattresses contain NO Memory Foam.
My wife and I are large people, each over 200 lbs.
We have the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, at home.
It is nearly 5 years old and it's still in like new condition.
You will enjoy this mattress as much and for as long as your old Simmons Beautyrest.
Here is a link to that mattress:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress/set.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

A Mattress for a Big Guy. Simmons Beautyrest?

Steve writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I saw a comment on a Simmons Beautyrest that was made by the mattress expert.  
Followed that back to your website, and here I am asking your thoughts.
 
I am a big guy, 330lbs 6'2". I'm usually a side sleeper, but not 100%.  
I have had a hip replacement, along with some knee and shoulder issues. I just turned 45.  
I, recently, slept on a Simmons Beautyrest mattress in a Holiday Inn Express hotel, and it was amazing.  
I read some of your thoughts and comments.  
I hate memory foam, as it makes me feel trapped.  
I like moving when I want to.
 
So... what are your thoughts?
Thanks, Steve
 
Hi Steve,
The thing that makes a Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the support from the individually pocketed coils.
However, their coils are not very strong, made of raw non-tempered steel.
Purchased at any retail store, those mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, which wears quickly and sleeps hot.
(The hotel models are not upholstered with memory foam.)
 
The mattress we recommend, for a person your size, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring.
That line, shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
These mattresses also use an individually pocketed coil system.
The coil count is higher and the double tempered steel coils are stronger than in a Simmons Beautyrest.
Also, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which wears well and sleeps cool.
 
The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable of the four models.
However, at your size and for the sake of the longevity of the mattress and reduced expense as the years go by, 
we recommend getting one of the firmer models and adding a latex topper to it.
Doing it this way will allow you to replace only the topper, as the years go by, and not the mattress.
The latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, which will cause the mattress to remain like new a whole lot longer.
The latex topper we recommend is the EverEden Vytex Dunlop in Soft...with the 3" being more comfortable than the 2"...especially for a sore shoulder.
Those latex toppers, shown here:
 
EVEREDEN Topper_side-straps2
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress/set.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

A King Mattress for Us and a Queen for Our Son.

Diane writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We need two mattresses. 
We need a king size for my husband and I, who are of average size.
We also need a queen size mattress for our son, who is a big guy.
What would you recommend?
Thanks, Diane
 
Hi Diane,
I have a couple of options for you, so we’ll start with the best for you and your husband.
This is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush...uses an individually pocketed coil unit with a very high coil count and double tempered steel...providing firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine.
The upholstery is Plush Natural Talalay Latex, so a separate latex topper isn’t necessary.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

This mattress is available with a matching foundation, and comes with white glove delivery, which includes setup and removal of your old mattress/set.
 
Similarly made, is the Wolf Hybrid Mattresses.
The coil count is not as high but the steel is still double tempered.
The upholstery is latex for the Adara model and latex/poly foam for the Tulah model.
I’m recommending the Adara for your son, as it is the stronger of the two.
If this price point is better for your master bedroom, go with the Tulah.
The Tulah is the more comfortable of the two, and a good choice for your sizes.
Wolf Adara Latex Innerspring Mattress-The Mattress Expert

These mattresses are not available with a matching foundation and they ship via ups.
For any of these, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress from 2009.

Cherrie writes:
 
We purchased a Simmons Beautyrest mattress and foundation on 9/7/2009 for $2869. I still have the receipt.  
We have known we've needed to replace it for a while, but I want the exact mattress.
I have not been able to find anything like it.  Do you have a recommendation?  
I’m still searching your site. Thanks for putting it together.
Cherrie
 
Hi Cherrie,
There is no such thing as the exact same mattress available today.
Simmons has been sold to investors, who are using memory foam upholstery.
Your mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why you still have it.
Today’s Simmons mattresses are designed to require frequent replacing.
 
Using the same type of coil system, as Simmons, but using stronger coils and upholstered with natural Talalay Latex, is the same mattress we sleep on at home....The Natura of Canada Greenspring 
Shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

These mattresses will provide the same type of support as the one you have.
The quality of the components exceeds the quality of the components in your mattress.
The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of the four choices.
 
White glove delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
Delivery includes setup and removal of your old mattress/set.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Similar Mattress to the Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Hope.

Meg writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We bought a floor sample of the Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Silk Hope mattress for my son, who is now 20 yrs old.
We bought it when he was about 8 years old. He loves this mattress. 
He sleeps on his stomach and loves the plush feel, and the firm support.  
I can’t find this series from Sealy anywhere.  I'm assuming it's no longer being made.  
Any thoughts on a mattress that is similar?
Thanks, Meg
 
 
Hi Meg,
Your old Sealy has no memory foam, which is why it held up so well for so long.
You want to avoid any mattresses made with memory foam.
Memory foam wears poorly, sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.
 
And while there is nothing on the market that matches the specifications of you old Sealy mattress, 
there are mattresses that are well made that produce a similar feel.
 
These Hybrid mattresses, from Wolf, provide excellent support, comfort and longevity...NO Memory Foam.

Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic in 2013.
Everything they make, today, is upholstered with memory foam.

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

Eileen writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Thank you, so much, for freely sharing your extensive knowledge with all of us consumers.
Like many others, I purchased a Tempurpedic mattress that I became unhappy with 2 years after getting it.
At first, it felt fine. But it became extremely uncomfortable and all of my back pain returned, and with a vengeance.
I called the store to complain and they sent out an inspector to look at the mattress.
They said that the mattress looked fine, so there was nothing they could do.
 
I then went online to find out what went wrong, which is where I found your informative blog and website.
I read, in a number of places that you recommend flipping the mattress and adding a latex topper.
I flipped that mattress two days ago. Today, my back feels fine. So, thank you for that.
 
As you mentioned in your blog, the flip side of the mattress is likely to be too firm to sleep on comfortably.
There again, you are right on the money. My back stopped hurting, but my shoulder and hips are sore.
My question is, which latex topper should I get?
Many Thanks, Eileen
 
Hi Eileen,
We carry a good variety of high quality, US made latex toppers
Shown here:
EVEREDEN Topper_side-straps2
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The EverEden brand is 100% All Natural and ships quicker than the Pure Bliss, which is a blended latex.
The Pure Bliss is the better value, but they are running slow these days...post the Covid-19 shutdown.
2" is all you need to give you the extended life of the mattress.
3" is noticeably more comfortable, and a better choice for a female side sleeper.
Whichever topper you choose, you'll want the Plush or Soft. The mattress provides the firm support your bodies require.
The latex topper is for surface comfort.
 
The latex toppers arrive via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete
