Waking up with backache on a 2 years old Nova-Form plush mattress.

Roger writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a 2 years old Nova-Form plush mattress, and we’re both waking up with backache.

I’m late 50s, 6’2”, 225 lbs., combination side, stomach sleeper.  

My wife is 4’11”, 115 lbs., combination side back sleeper.  

She has occasional sciatica and overall back pain.

 

I wonder if we’re sleep opposites.  

Thinking about an adjustable hybrid split king, maybe a Beautyrest with each twin having different firmness. 

Do you have and mattress suggestions for “sleep opposites” couples?

Thanks, in advance for your advice, Roger

 

Hi Roger,

Is "Sleep Opposites" a term you're coining or is it something you're parroting from a salesperson.

I've never heard that term before.

And while couples of vastly different sizes may have different needs, everyone needs a combination of firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

When dealing with a 100 lb. difference in weight, the key is in buying a mattress that will hold up well under the heavier of the two.

  

If you’re considering a split king adjustable bed base, you’ll need 2 Twin-XL size mattresses...NOT Twin Size.

You’ll also want those mattresses to be the same thickness. 

 

For long lasting support, comfort and durability, you’ll want a mattress that has no memory foam in it.

That eliminates all the name brands, including Simmons Beautyrest.

 

For what will work for you, consider the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

This mattress provides long lasting support and comfort under heavier people.

A problem with my adjustable bed base electronics.

Hi Pete,

I am having a problem with my adjustable bed base electronics.

It's not raising up like it should. The button that brings it up won't work. 

I don't know how to get it fixed. Can you give me an answer on this?

Thanks, Mary

 

Mary,

The first thing to do, is unplug the bed…wait a couple of minutes…and plug it back in. 

Sometimes, that’s all it takes.

If that doesn’t work, then you’ll need someone who specializes in parts and service for adjustable bed bases.

 

My friend, Keith, is in that business.

An adjustable bed base for a latex mattress.

Eric writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm back!...LOL.

We bought a latex mattress, from you, many years ago, which we continue to love sleeping in.

Now, my wife and I are wanting an adjustable bed base in queen size for this mattress.

We'd like to be able to watch TV and use our laptops while in bed.

I assume we will be able to use our mattress with it. Is that so?

What base do you have to offer?

Thanks, Eric

 

Hi Eric,

Welcome Back!

I'm so pleased that your mattress purchase has worked so well for you.

A latex mattress does, indeed, work well on an adjustable bed base.

In fact, it's one of the best mattresses you can have for that.

 

We carry a fine quality line of Adjustable Bed Bases from Magniflex.

Shown Here:

All 3 models will do the job nicely. You get more bells and whistles with each upgrade.

Thanks, Pete

Can I use my Sealy mattress on an adjustable bed base?

John writes:

Hi Pete,

Can I use my Sealy mattress on an adjustable bed base?

It’s about 6 years old. Will it damage the coils?

Thanks, John 

 

Hi John,

Yes you can and no it won’t.

The heavy border wire that was used around the perimeter of older mattresses, is what would prevent them from being used with an adjustable bed base.

But that hasn’t been used for quite some time.

 

If you’re shopping for an adjustable bed base, take a look at these, from Magniflex.

A Wolf Two Sided Mattress delivered by Christmas?

Eloise writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Economics being what it is, we've decided to treat ourselves to a new mattress, rather than spending money on things we really don't need.

We've been reading your blog for quite some time, now, and have honed in on the Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Flippable Brolynn Mattress with Magniflex Adjustable bed base.

How long do I have to place this order and still get it in time for Christmas?

Thanks, Eloise

 

Hi Eloise,

I recommend placing your order, no later that December 11th.

However, the Christmas season does complicate shipping, so the sooner the better.

Will the Wolf Two Sided Brolynn Mattress work with my adjustable bed base?

Joana writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I emailed you back in July asking about the mattress at the Venetian in Las Vegas, I loved it! 

You answered and explained that since it got bought out, that it's made with memory foam and suggested the Wolf Two Sided Brolynn Mattress in plush, which has no memory foam in it.

I have an adjustable base and making sure that this mattress will work with my adjustable bed base?

I would like to take your suggestion and order but just wondered if there are different levels of firmness or just one?

Thank you for the help.

Joana

 

Hi Joana,

The Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress does come in more than one choice of comfort, 

but the Plush has the more comfortable surface feel. 

 

This mattress will work well on your adjustable bed base.

In fact, we offer an adjustable bed base as an option with it.

Here’s the link you’ll need to place your order.

Do your mattresses require a box spring?

Scott writes:

 

 

Hi Pete,

Do your mattresses require a box spring?

Thanks, Scott

 

Hi Scott, 

Every mattress needs something to support it. 

The options are:

1. The floor

2. A box spring
   

3. A platform bed
   

4. An adjustable bed base
   

5. A Murphy bed.
   

6. A bunk board

8" Gel Memory Foam Mattress does not support my spine.

Sharrie writes:

 

Good Morning Pete,

I need a new mattress that will be good for my spine and I'm in bed 15-18 hours a day.

I currently have an 8" Gel Memory Foam Mattress that I purchased in 2017.  

This mattress does not support my spine.

 

I have spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease throughout the whole spine.  

Bulging Disc C3-C8 in Neck, T11-T12 have had fractures.  

L2-L3 are ready for spinal fusion. I have L5 nerve damage on the left side, with the right side deteriorating.

 

I need a recommendation for a new mattress.  

I would like to have an adjustable bed base.

The mattress I need would be Twin XL.  

 

I'm 4'11, 186 in weight and generally on my left side for most of the day.

I can only sleep on my sides or back. 

What do you recommend?  

I sincerely appreciate the advice and direction.

Sharrie

 

Hi Sharrie,

Due to your size and the amount of time you spend in bed, you’re going to need a strong, durable mattress.

Due to your back problems, you’ll need an individually pocketed coil unit.

And, if you want it to last, the mattress must have no memory foam in it.

I’m recommending is the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

Of their 4 models, the ultra plush is the most comfortable.

Click on this link to view that line of mattresses.

Then click on each model to view specifications and prices.

You'll see it priced with a Magniflex Adjustable Bed Base

Natura All Latex Mattresses.

Phillip writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have 2 twin-xl adjustable bed bases and need mattresses for them.

We want all latex mattresses and like what we read about the Natura of Canada brand.

I am considerably heavier than my wife and enjoy a firm mattress while my wife like something softer.

Which mattresses would you recommend for each of us?

Thanks, Phillip

 

Hi Phillip,

The Natura of Canada All latex mattresses are very high quality.

They are made the way an all latex mattress should be, using Dunlop Latex for support and Talalay Latex for surface comfort.

Given the difference in weight and comfort preferences, I recommend the Blossom models.

Firm for you and Plush for the Mrs.

Each are the same thickness, which make them the perfect combination for the two of you.
