Hi Pete,

I have a neurological disorder which causes me severe sensory issues with certain textures, and memory foam is a HUGE issue! I cannot even tolerate pushing my finger into anything with memory foam. 

We are remodeling our bedroom and want to switch to a king sized mattress.

But for years now we haven't been able to find a mattress that doesn't have memory foam in it somewhere. 

Does anyone even make them anymore? 

I don't need or want a mattress that's ultra firm, but it needs to be firm enough that I don't feel like I'm falling through space and time. I hate pillow tops if they're too thick. 

I HAVE to feel a solid mattress under me so it doesn't freak out my sensory issues. 

 

Traveling has been horrible for both my husband and me because there are memory foam mattresses everywhere now. We always call first before we stay somewhere and ask if their mattresses are memory foam or coils, and they always say, "Our mattresses are not memory foam." Then we get to our destination, and inevitably find they have memory foam that I can actually feel. 

I noticed that the Hyatt Grand Bed gets high marks, but are they memory foam? 

I ask because we have to travel to visit our daughter and son-in-law, and I was looking at the Hyatt as a possible place to stay. We normally stay in Hilton's, but their mattresses are almost always awful.

 

So, I guess I've got two questions. The first is, where (if anywhere) can we find traditional mattresses with no memory foam that's a king or split king for our new mattress? We are still sleeping on the first mattress we bought 30 years ago which we love, but it's a queen. My husband has always been a loud sleeper (snoring, groaning, rolling, talking in his sleep), which has been difficult to tolerate all these years, but thankfully he is very sympathetic about my need for a solid mattress. After our daughter married a few years ago, he's been sleeping in her room. We don't prefer this arrangement which is why we want to get a king or split king(?) mattress so we can sleep together again. The second question is, what hotels have good traditional mattresses? The Hyatt looks promising. 

When I searched info on their mattresses, I found you. 

I sincerely hope you are able to give me answers to our issues and point us in the right direction, especially for a new king mattress for us.

 

Thank you so much for your time!

Sincerely, Laurie

 

Good Morning Laurie,

As a retailer shopping at the industry trade shows, I can tell you that finding mattresses without any memory foam in them is difficult. I found some. and sleep on one at home. All who buy them, love them.

Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of Mattresses.

This mattress uses the same coil system as is popular in most hotels…an individually pocketed coil unit that provides firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine.

There is no memory foam in this mattress.

The ultra plush version is just as you describe as wanting…a comfortable sleeping surface, firm underlying support…a mattress that is not too soft by anyone’s standards.

 

The hotel mattress question is made difficult through evolution.

Hotels had long rejected mattresses with memory foam because memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…an absolute nightmare for hotels with so many mattresses.

The name brands had been willing to accommodate them, making hotel mattresses without memory foam in them.

But times have changed and all of the name brands have been sold to investors.

Tempurpedic owns Sealy and S&F.

An independent investment group bought Simmons and Serta.

Since memory foam is key to recouping their investment and enhance profits, they are no longer willing to make an exception for hotels. These memory foam filled mattresses, with coils or not, has been forced upon them.

 

Hotels replace mattresses as needed.

So, there are still plenty of rooms in any given hotel that has an older mattress in it.

The people at the front desk would not know which room as what mattress.

 

When my wife and I travel, we pack a 2” queen size latex mattress topper.

It’s not all that bulky once you fold it, roll it up tight, and cinch it with a belt.

Of course, this is not a practical solution if you’re flying.

Here’s a link to the Suite Sleep 2” Organic Latex Topper.

Based on what you’ve written, you’ll want the medium soft.

It does a fine job of insulating you from the memory foam in the mattress.

The queen size is versatile, as it can be use across a king size mattress.
