My husband and I need to find a new mattress, and soon.

Hi Pete,

My husband and I need to find a new mattress, and soon.

We've had our mattress a year and we're both waking up more tired and sore achy neck, back, hips, etc. 

The pain, each day, just gets worse!  

We tried a memory foam topper that worked for about two months and we finally had to get rid of that.

My husband is a large 6'1", a big guy.

I'm 5'6" medium build. I'm a side sleeper, he's a back sleeper, occasionally side.

Any recommendations?? and where do I go for pillow recommendations?  

My husband has a sore neck that won't go away and we think it's a combo of the mattress and pillow.

Thanks, Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

It sounds like your mattress is just too firm.

You bought a memory foam topper, which worked but lasted only a short while.

What works, works well, and for many years, is a pure latex topper.

Add a 2" soft Suite Sleep Organic Latex Topper 

You'll transform your mattress into an extremely comfortable bed.

Have your husband try a latex pillow. 

They are very comfy and equally long lasting.

The Pure Bliss Shredded Latex pillow, in particular, is especially good for relieving chronic neck pain. 

Shown here...the 2nd pillow on this page:

Both items come with free shipping

 

Thanks, Pete

A topper for a too firm mattress.

Jonathan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m 38, 170 pounds, and someone who has sore muscles often from going to the gym. 

In the last year or so I’ve been dealing with DDD/spinal stenosis and sciatica. 

I got an Ultra Firm mattress thinking that sleeping on the hardest mattress I could find would help.

I sleep on my back or sides, and tend to toss and turn a bit. 

I wake up with a very stiff back, and I’m wondering if the mattress is too firm.

I’m looking for a topper that you think might help alleviate my symptoms.

Thank you so much for this service!

Jonathan 

Hi Jonathan,

A mattress topper will help with the pressure points, which is why you’re tossing.

The firm mattress was a good choice for support, but you also need a measure of surface comfort. 

A soft mattress topper will provide that without sacrificing the underlying firm support.

Given your size and age, one of the Magniflex Mattress Toppers will do a nice job.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is excellent.

Gerry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is excellent.

When I first laid down on it, it felt much like our previous mattress, which had the 2" Talalay topper.  

But, after 15 to 20 minutes, the support and comfort became obvious. Joints don't ache. Back doesn't hurt.  

 

I'm really happy with the mattress, its construction and quality.  

I'm especially happy with your help in getting me steered in the right direction.

 

Many thanks!  If I can help with a customer referral, please ask.

Gerry

 

 

Hi Gerry,

I can’t tell you how pleased I am.

My thanks for taking the time to write and for your offer to refer people to us.

I expect that you will sleep well for many years to come.

My wife and I have been sleeping well on that same mattress for 9 years, and it's still like new.

Purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress.

Jenna writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We are seriously considering purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress from your website.  

My apologies, but is there a difference between coil/hybrid latex and innerspring?  

I was browsing your categories and I got a little confused.  

We’ve had a memory foam for only three years now, and have come to the realization that it’s not for us.  

If only we had seen your company before our purchase!  :)

We’ve looked over your products, and was curious what your advice would be regarding our next step.  

My husband is 340 pounds and about 6 foot. He’s a firefighter and is usually achy after working his shifts.   

I’m approx. 150 and use to be an ER nurse, so I also fall into the category of “achy” most of the time as well.  

We are looking for something that provides good solid support.

Thanks very much for any help and advice you can provide.

Take care, Jenna

 

Hi Jenna,

There are 3 different types of foams used in the mattress industry.

Memory foam has proven to be the worst, over its 20-year history.

Polyurethane foam was the standard foam used since the 1970s.

Latex foam is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

 

The foams used in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are:

Natural plant-based polyurethane...'an inch of soft poly foam in the quilted cover and an inch of firm poly foam under the latex', just above the coils.

Natural Talalay Latex is in between the two poly foam layers.

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

 

 

There is no memory foam in this mattress.

All mattresses are upholstered with one or more types of foam.

The only one to avoid is memory foam. It’s the only one that is poor quality.

 

For the combination of long-lasting support under a 340 Lb man and providing long lasting surface comfort for a 150 lb. woman, I recommend going with the "Firm" model....Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/greenspring-liberty-firm-mattress/

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper...shown here:

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

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom.

The latex topper arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

Tim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Our Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress was delivered and installed in August of last year.

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

I want to express my thanks for your assistance in selecting this mattress.

It took us a couple of nights to get used to the feel of it.

But two days later, my beloved wife woke up very refreshed with no aches or sore back.

It was the first time, in recent memory, that she had slept through the night without waking three or four times.

It's been that way, for us, since August.

I am sleeping longer and deeper. I no longer wake up with low back and hip pain.

I have been able to do several chores that I had been unable to do, because of nagging low back and hip pain.

By the end of the day, I only have only nominal soreness from the physical work.

Again, I deeply appreciate your help in selecting the Natura of Canada Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

Thank You, Tim

 

Hi Jim,

Thank you, so much, for sharing your experience with this mattress.

As you probably know, my wife and I sleep on the same mattress.

Our experience is very similar to yours.

And here it is, more than 9 years after getting this mattress, and our experience continues to be the same.

I'm extremely happy for both of you.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

An old fashioned two sided mattress, without memory foam.

Linda writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Can you point me in the right direction?

Where can I buy an old fashioned two sided mattress, without memory foam and without the fancy prices?

We have one that was purchased in 2000, but is now aching to be replaced.

Actually, it's me that doing the aching.

Thanks, Linda

 

Hi Linda,

Funny that you should ask.

It's funnier, still, that you would word it that way.

We, in fact, do carry an old fashioned two sided mattress with no memory foam in it.

It's also, reasonably priced.

My doctor is saying that I need a new mattress.

Eve writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My doctor is saying that I need a new mattress.

Most of the mattresses I'm seeing have memory foam and I know I don't want that.

The other problem is the cost. The prices I'm encountering are outrageous.

I need all that I need to be affordable, even though I'm on the heavy side. I'm 5'6" and weight 180 lbs.

Can you help me with all that?

Thanks, Eve

 

Hi Eve,

The mattress I'm recommending is the Wolf Pocketed Coil Jessica Mattress in Luxury Firm.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress-2/the-jessica/

The individually pocketed coils are made of heavy gauge, double tempered steel for strong, firm contouring support and durability...even under a large person.

The upholstery material is natural, plant-based poly foam.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress.

 

To provide you with a more luxurious surface feel, simply add a Magniflex Mattress Topper.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/magniflex-mattress-toppers/

You'll find these items to be reasonably priced.

We have an old mattress and need a new one.

Linda writes:

Hi Pete,

We have an old mattress and need a new one. Could you give me a recommendation?

I am 58 yr old woman, 140 pounds, a lot of lower back pain, shoulder pain, muscular pain and stiffness throughout. Husband weighs 250 and has neck pain.

I want comfort, support, and pain pressure points relieved and feel better when getting up instead of so stiff!

Can you recommend if a topper should be added with it?

Thanks a bunch, Linda

 

Hi Linda,

The recommendation comes in three parts. 

First, the mattress set for the firm support you need.

The Wolf Jessica Mattress has firm, contouring individually pocketed coils, which will maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. This is what will relieve back pain.

Shown here:

 

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress/the-jessica/

Second, the plush upholstery that will relieve pressure point pain, and do it long term.

The Natura of Canada Plush Latex Mattress Topper.

And third, PureBliss shredded Latex Pillow to relieve neck pain.

Never:

Use an old box spring/foundation with any new mattress. 

Doing so voids the warranty of the mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-foundations/magniflex-kd-foundations/

 

Always:

Use a waterproof mattress protector. 

Your new mattress will last longer if kept clean and dry.

Firm mattress, soft topper for back, hip and shoulder pain.

Linda and Chuck write:

Hi Pete,

We need a firm mattress, and a soft topper for back, hip and shoulder pain.

We know that what We need, because that’s what we’ve had, and it was great.

We bought that “sleep system combination”, as you called it, many years ago.

And just as you promised it would, it made all our various aches and pains go away.

Now, these many years later, it’s time to replace them.

I’ve looked on your website for the same items, but couldn’t find them.

What would you recommend today to achieve those same results?

Thanks, Linda and Chuck…long time fans of The Mattress Expert.

 

Good Morning Linda and Chuck,

Welcome back.

I’m so pleased to hear that my recommendation worked so well for the two of you, and for so long.

 

So much has changed over the years, which is nothing new for this industry.

Products change, come and go, on a regular basis.

But rest assured that my recommendation will include high quality products that will do the job just as well as your previous purchase.

 

The Wolf Jessica Mattress will provide the firm, contouring support necessary to relieve chronic back pain.

The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper will provide the cushioning needed to relieve hip and shoulder pain.

This sleep system combination is ideal for the inside and outside of your body.

Back pain from sleeping on a sagging mattress.

Sue writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a side sleeper with arthritis and back pain from sleeping on a sagging mattress..

I have been waking up sore all over, even though my mattress is only a couple of years old.

I read about your all latex mattress but those are a little too pricey for me.  

Do you have anything comparable that doesn't cost so much?

I have a platform bed and have not been using a box spring but can if it is required.

I'm 5'2" @ 170 lbs. Can you advise me?

Thanks, Sue

 

Hi Sue,

A box spring is not necessary with a platform bed.

The Wolf Jessica Mattress has a firm individually pocketed coil system, which will relieve your back pain.

it provides contouring, pushback support against your back that maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

Add to that a Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure, Organic Latex Topper for extraordinary surface comfort, lasting for years.

Here are links to both of those products.
