Is there a Fix for a Serta iComfort Mattress that is Causing Pain?

Kim writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Williamsburg, VA last fall. And for once, the mattress didn't hurt his back. 
He's had several back surgeries, so I called the hotel to see what kind of mattress it was and was told it was a Simmons Beautyrest. 
We have a king size bed and I'm trying to purchase a new mattress for it. 
We currently have a very expensive, 3 year old, supposedly top of the line iComfort Serta mattress. 
It just sinks in and is hard to turn over or get out of and is causing pain to various parts of our bodies. 
I was wondering if there's a fix for it or the which mattress they used at the hotel. 
My husband is not small. And although I'm trying to lose weight, neither am I. 
Could you please help?
Thanks, Kim
 
 
Hi Kim,
There is a fix for your Serta mattress, that has worked well for many.
The bad part of that mattress is the memory foam on top.
Flipping it over and adding a Plush 2” or 3” Latex Topper will restore support and comfort. 
What more, it’ll extend the life of the mattress for a few years.
Here’s a link to those latex toppers.

This is a good common sense 1st step.
The Simmons Beautyrest mattresses are also upholstered with memory foam.
You’ll need a latex topper for that, as well.
When it comes time to buy the mattress, you’ll already have the latex topper.
Latex has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
Latex is extremely resilient, remaining like new for many years.
 
If buying a new mattress now, I recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm, to go with that same latex topper.

The topper arrives via UPS.
The mattress comes with white glove delivery and removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.


 
Thanks, Pete

Exchanging a Mattress at one of those large chain stores.

Rebecca writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I've appreciated reading all the info you've posted regarding the selection of a suitable mattress.  
My husband is 5'9", around 200 lbs., formerly (and attempting to be still) an athlete, very bulky shoulders, sleeps on his back.  
I'm 5'2" 125 lbs., 45 years old, I have had three children over the past 11 years.  
I'm dealing with pain on a regular basis, hard to really measure how much pain, not as bad as having children, but not something I can ignore. 
I use heat and ice packs on a regular basis.  The doctor doesn't seem to think there's anything clinically wrong with me.  
The chiropractor says I'm crooked from carrying children and need to exercise more. 
We don't need to get into all the sources of stress, just the fact that I could really benefit from a good night's sleep.
 
I've slept, for the past 16 years, on a Kingsdown Body System 2 flippable, very soft.  
A year and a half ago we moved to a new house with a larger bedroom, and thought it warranted a new king size bed.  
Thus began a rather painful search process.  
We started with a local store, believing the media hype about Memory Foam being best to alleviate back pain. I tried it and returned it.  
Next we went to the Sleep Number.  Tried it, and once again returned it.
 
Finally we thought we'd find another Kingsdown, for we were having great memories of good nights' sleep on that old Queen sized bed.  
We went to one of those large chain stores and they did have a very soft Kingsdown.
But, we were convinced of the relative merits of the Beautyrest Luxury Plush Pillowtop, and it was considerably less expensive.  
It felt good at first but after only 6 months. The pillowtop developed body impressions.  
It took the rest of the year, and then some, before they were beyond the 1.5 in depth needed for a warranty claim.  
We did reach that point, however, and were given a credit for a replacement with another product from them.
 
This past January we went in, intent on purchasing a Kingsdown, specifically the one with a latex top, for it's firmer support and durability.  
We didn't want another warranty failure.  We now have the Kingsdown and although my husband is feeling fine I'm miserable.  
I'm having pain and numbing in shoulders and hips.  I've gone back to the old Kingsdown in the guest room and it helps. 
But now, after trying so many new mattresses, I can clearly feel that the foam is worn in (although it's not pitted, interestingly enough).
 
At long last I've come upon your site and found so much useful information that I wish I'd found before.  
I have gone back to that store and they're willing to exchange again, but I'm not sure for what.  
I suppose I could just keep the current bed and add another topper, but it's already 15.5".  
I like the idea of getting the highest quality firm support, and a separate latex topper.  
They don't appear to carry a pure latex mattress for the support layer.  
The high end Beautyrest with the least cushion that they sells is the Legend.  
The one I think is their version of the Beautyrest Black is the Ultimate Plush Boxtop, but this has layers of memory foam.
I can more than imagine that this would break down over time.
 
What I'm concerned about is getting a soft enough topper.  
I've specifically chosen the Kingsdown for the firm support of the latex top, but it too has memory foam, which is causing me pain.  
Are you familiar with that mattress?  Could you make a recommendation for a latex topper?
Thank you, Rebecca
 
 
Hi Rebecca,
Kingsdown isn't made as well as your 16 year old mattress. Very few mattresses are as good as they were back then.
Make no mistake, The Legend is nothing more than a Platinum Series Beautyrest with some extra window dressing. 
It is nowhere near the quality of the Black models and the people at that store have no qualms about lying to everyone about that.
 
I'm sorry you ended up there. I consider them to be, singularly, thee worst place to buy a mattress...for a number of reasons. 
Purposefully misrepresenting their products and their inflated prices are but 2 of those reasons.
I would suggest getting a Platinum Series Beautyrest in luxury firm...not the Legend...and without a pillowtop.

Add to that, a 2" Plush Talalay Latex mattress topper and you will be good to go....remaining like new for many years.
The firm, contouring support of a luxury firm Beautyrest will provide proper support and maintain the natural alignment of your spine.
The soft latex topper will relieve your pressure points, relax your muscles, and ease your blood flow. 
Together, it's everything your body needs for that good night's sleep you're looking for.
Here is the link to those.

Listen to your chiropractor. Take 30 minutes out of everyday and take a walk. It will help you immensely.
 
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Aireloom or Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper.

Katharine writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I found your information online and wanted to see if you could give me some advice. I am about to purchase a mattress and need help.  
I bought a Simmons Beautyrest Kameryn Luxury Firm mattress from Macy's, a few years ago,  and it sagged and offered no support.  
My hips and back have been bothering me since purchasing the mattress.  
I finally had the inspector come out and now get to pick another mattress.  
This has to happen at Macy's since that is where I purchased the mattress. 
I have lower back and hip issues, so I need support and comfort.  
I am looking at the Aireloom Hotel Collection Vitagenic Streamline Cushion Firm and the Beautyrest Reyna Luxury Firm.  
I have made several poor choices when buying mattresses and want to make a smart decision that will offer me years of satisfaction.
Many thanks for you time!
Katharine 
 
 

 

Hi Katherine,
The problem you've been facing is the poor performance of the upholstery layers in today's mattresses.
All that memory foam feels fine when new, but doesn't keep its shape, comfort, or support for very long.
This problem exists for most mattresses...and there is a simple solution.
Add an EverEden 2" Soft or Medium All Natural Latex Topper to to top of the mattress when new.
The latex topper insulates you from the memory foam and that padding won't collapse, as the latex will absorb your body weight.
Latex has been the best...most comfortable and most resilient upholstery material on the planet for nearly 100 years.
Nothing has come along that is anywhere near as good.
My wife and I are large people. We had an older equivalent to the Edenton with a latex topper. 
The mattress is now several years old and everything is, still, in like new condition.
Here is the link to the latex toppers.

Stay with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Reyna mattress. It's much stronger than the Aireloom.
 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm Mattress and Latex Topper.

Ken writes:
Hi Pete,
 
We have just turned 41 and our world class is 11 years old. I'm 275 lbs and wife is 125lbs.
I'm a combo, back and side sleeper. My wife is mostly side sleeper. We have started having 
some soreness in the mornings and the old mattress has two holes were we sleep. I was looking 
at the Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista extra firm mattress for support. But, would it be too
firm for my wife?                                                

Thanks, Ken
 
Hi Ken,
The Simmons Beautyrest Calista Extra Firm mattress is an excellent choice for supporting 
someone your size.
But on its own, it won't have enough surface comfort for either of you.
We recommend using a soft latex topper with that.
Latex is the most resilient upholstery material on the planet.
Besides supplying surface comfort enough to relieve pressure points and relax muscles 
for a good deep night's sleep, it absorbs much of your body weight.
The result of that is a mattress that keeps its shape much better and much longer than
it would without it. 
The EverEden 2" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is all you'll need.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
Here are links for both.
