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

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.

You Should Know 

 

Using an old box spring to support any new mattress will cause premature wear and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

A waterproof mattress protector will extend the life of a mattress by keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry.

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.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

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

Delivery is FREE.

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.

The price...$1999.99

And there's no charge for delivery and no sales tax...nothing more to add.

I rue the day I got rid of that old Stearns and Foster mattress.

Alison writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the recommendation. 

I rue the day I got rid of that old Stearns and Foster mattress. 

It was a great mattress for so many years, and at the time I didn't have a clue about latex toppers. 

May I ask why you recommend the 3 inch soft latex topper? 

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

I assume it will offset the firmness of the Brandy Lynn mattress. Is that correct? 

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

Does the mattress come compressed and rolled up? 

I didn't think coil mattresses could be compressed like that. Wouldn't it damage the coils?

Thanks, Alison

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

 

Good Morning Alison,

That’s correct!

The mattress provides firm, contouring support and the latex topper provides the surface comfort…both are very long lasting.

 

Today, almost all mattresses are made without the heavy border wire that would have prevented a mattress from being rolled.

Today’s mattresses are made to work with an adjustable bed base.

So they are much more flexible than they used to be.

 

This manufacturer is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been continually owned and operated by the same family…est. 1873.

I’ve been dealing with them for the past 8 years.

I’ve never encountered any delivery damage or any complaints about any of the hundreds of their mattresses we’ve sold over that time.

 

They are very well made.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

An all latex foam mattress with an adjustable bed base.

Joan writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a bit of a dilemma.

I like and want an all foam mattress.

I know not to buy a memory foam type, but the all latex types are just so expensive.

Is there a way to get what I want without the huge price tag?

Thanks, Joan

 

Hi Joan,

Memory foam mattresses are not all memory foam.

They have a thick poly foam base that supports the memory foam.

The same is available in latex...a thick poly foam base supporting the latex top upholstery.

This gives you the unique feel of floating that only latex can provide, at a more reasonable price.

 

We have such mattresses...The Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Mattresses 

We are promoting these mattresses with a Magniflex adjustable bed base.

There are 3 different adjustable bed bases from Maginflex...Primavera, Milano and Venezia. 

The promotion gives you the upgrade to the Milano model for the same price as the Primavera

Terrible hip pain on a memory foam mattress. Latex Topper?

Verna writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I have a memory foam mattress that we bought several years ago.

I'm having terrible hip pain and feel that this mattress is just too firm.

After reading your blog posts, I feel that a latex topper would help, perhaps Talalay Latex.

Which one would you recommend?

 

Shortly, we will be moving this queen size mattress into the guest bedroom.

We are wanting a king size hip pain with independent controls.

I need my legs lifted and he needs his head lifted to breathe better....current using a cpap.

For that, we will be wanting something of very high quality with latex in it.

We each weigh more than 200 lbs. My husband is closer to 250.

I look forward to your recommendations. 

Thanks, Verna

 

Hi Verna,

Let start with the latex topper for your current mattress.

You had asked about Talalay Latex and I have a couple of reasons why you should go with a Soft Organic Dunlop Latex Topper.

1. Real Talalay Latex has been a supply line victim. It’s hard to get.

My source is currently out of stock and when they get some, it’s a small amount.

2. Dunlop latex is more durable than Talalay.

Now that Dunlop is available in the choice of “soft”, it’s the better option for people weighing more than 200 lbs…Keeping its shape better over the years.

Here’s a link to the Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Organic Latex Toppers.

https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/suite-organic-latex-topper.html

 

As I mentioned, we don’t sell adjustable bed bases.

I’ve found these from “Rize” to be well made and an excellent value.

https://www.rizebeds.com/

 

 

The mattress my wife and I sleep on at home is the mattress I’m recommending for you and your husband. 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

It was the best we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows.

 

The individually pocketed coils contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine. This type of support is exceptional for relieving chronic back pain.

The coil count is very high.

The coils are made of heavy gauge, double tempered steel.

Equally important is the 3” of Natural Talalay Latex…providing excellent surface comfort that lasts for years.

 

Our mattress is now several years old and still in like new condition.

Each of us weighs more than 200 lbs.

And despite having a very bad back, this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.
