Back Pain from DDD. A New Mattress or Latex Topper?

Roxanne writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I have a Simmons world class mattress luxury firm we purchased 5 years ago. 
We are both waking up with back pain. I have degenerative disc disease and have had 2 back surgeries. 
The luxury firm was comfortable at first but is now sagging. 
I have read your blog about the Natura Greenspring mattress and you seem to recommend the plush. 
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 

Is that equivalent to the luxury firm? 
We are also considering a topper to keep the cost down but are not sure what type or if it would help on a sagging mattress. 
Your advice is appreciated.
Roxanne
 
 
Hi Roxanne,
The time to add a latex topper to a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, is when it's new.
The latex topper will prevent the sagging you are now experiencing.
Adding a latex topper now, compares to closing the barn door after the horses have escaped.
 
Frankly, you need a new mattress.
I recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm and a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to go on it.
Here are links to those products, showing specifications and pricing:
Topper_Black
You could start with the latex topper only, but it will work better if you flip your current mattress over before adding it.
Doing this may buy you a little more time.
 
If going with a Natura Greenspring, then yes, go with the Plush Model, as it feels like a Luxury Firm.
Shown here:

 
The mattresses come with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.


Thanks, Pete

Plush Pillowtop Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Failed Within Months, Causing Back Pain.

Alex writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Plush Pillowtop mattress a few months ago.
It was great for about a week, or so, then started sagging. Now, it has totally failed.
I've gotten authorization for an exchange. The store, where I bought it, is planning to replace it with the same mattress.
My question is, "Is this normal or a fluke?".
I don't want a repeat of this disaster. Sleeping on this sagging mattress is causing back pain.
What can I do to avoid ending up with another problem?
Thanks, Alex
 
Hi Alex,
That was not a fluke, but more the nature of the beast.
If you research online for reviews on Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, you find that they are horrible.
The Plush and Plush Pillowtops are mainly responsible for the bad reviews.
The steel from which the coils are made is very thin, in the plush models.
These mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, which is why the pillowtop starts to show wear so quickly.
 
However, there is a permanent solution that is fairly easy.
When we recommend a Simmons Beautyrest, we recommend a firmer model, which uses a heavier gauge wire for the coils.
We never recommend a pillowtop model. Instead, we recommend a separated, removable mattress topper made of latex.
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
Memory foam has proven to be the worst, over its 20 year history.
The latex topper is the key component. 
It insulates you from the memory foam, absorbs most to all of your body weight, and causes the  mattress to remain like new for many years,
 
Exchange your mattress for the same Series Beautyrest in a Luxury Firm Tight Top. (Not a pillowtop).
Add to that, a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper
Shown here:
Topper_Black
 
You'll end up with a very comfortable, supportive mattress that will provide you with an excellent night's sleep for many years to come.

Warranty Problems. Back and Hip Pain on a Plush Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Anne writes:
Warranty
 
Hi Pete,
My Simmons Beautyrest plush mattress sagged more than 1 1/2 inches after only a few years.  
The store where I bought the mattress had an inspector come out and verify this.  
Because it was within the manufacturer's warranty period, I was issued ~$1000 credit to pick out a new Simmons mattress.  
So, I paid the difference in price. They fought me tooth and nail on price matches and a free boxspring promotion given by Simmons.
Because the store said none of that applied because this is a warranty replacement.  
We worked through that, but now the new Simmons mattress is causing just as much back and hip pain as my old one.  
The inspector came back out and this bed is fine.
The store said I could do a re-select but they will charge me a 25% restocking fee and shipping costs.  
Plus, there are no other Simmons beds that this store carries that I'm interested in. 
I have two questions:
1)  Is it true that a store that has a matching price policy doesn't have to match the price on a warranty purchase? 
(There was over a $600 difference than what other stores sell the mattress for.)
and
2) If I again pay more money and re-select, am I allowed to purchase a different brand, say Serta?  
And if so, will my new Serta mattress be covered for its full warranty like a new purchase would? 
Any information you have will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you, Anne
 
Hi Anne,
You got screwed on this from the start. But, you only have yourself to blame. You didn't bother to read the mattress' warranty card.
If the factory authorizes an exchange, then they will send you a replacement at NO CHARGE...just delivery costs.
The $1000 credit was the retailers way of turning a service call into a sale. 
Lots of retailers are getting away with that today, because nobody bothers to read the warranty card.
 
Your initial mistake was to get a plush Beautyrest, which uses a very thin wire coil, which almost always ends up in a warranty claim. 
You then replaced it with the same thing....with all the same problems.
The new mattress has more memory foam, which only made matters worse.
  
On my website, you'll noticed that we do not offer any of their plush models...and for that reason.
1) There are plenty of stores that offer great deals with one hand and take them away with the other. Read the fine print in their ads.
2) That 25% restocking should also tell you that you could easily wind up with a mattress that someone else used and returned. 
The one you have now, could very well be one of those.
     
Also, Serta makes a poor quality product. You'd just be going from the frying pan to the fire.
 
You've already been screwed by this retailer of yours.
You've already noticed that their prices are too high.
Why would you continue to do business with them? Are you expecting a different result?
 
I suggest that you concern yourself, less about the worthless warranties and these comfort exchange scams, and more about the quality of the mattress.
I recommend buying The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm Mattress Only. (Your boxspring is fine).
Shown here:
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300
 
For the combination of that plush feel you like and much greater longevity for the mattress, add a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:

Two Sided Stearns and Foster Blakely Mattress Replacement.

Eileen writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I bought a Stearns and Foster Blakely mattress in 2003. 
Two years ago I bought a new replacement from another mfg due to S&F being out of my price range. 
This mattress is already sagging where I sleep.
What mattress would be similar to the Blakely since I don't think they make it anymore. 
It is a two sided mattress that can be flipped, no pillow top.?
Thanks for your help.
Eileen
 
Hi Eileen,
Stearns & Foster hasn't made a two sided mattress since 2003. You got one of the last.
And, since Tempurpedic bought them, it's been more than 5 years since they've made a mattress that I could recommend to anyone.
The problem with today's mattresses is the memory foam upholstery, which is purposefully designed to wear quickly.
However, I do have a mattress that I'm sure you will like...one that will hold up well and contains NO Memory Foam.
The Brolynn Plush is an Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress that can be flipped....using similar materials as your old S&F mattress.

Simmons Beautyrest Legend Luxury Firm Mattress.

Sue writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I have been shopping for a new mattress and we're considering the Simmons Beautyrest Legend Luxury Firm.
We have a 5 year old Stearns and Foster pillowtop, right now, that started out great but is now sagging and too soft for both of us.
Last July, I herniated a disc (C7) and found sleeping on the Simmons Shakespeare Firm that we have in our guest room more comfortable. 
For months I could only sleep on my back and this provided me the most support and chance of rest. 
Now that I've healed, somewhat, I am able to sleep on my side and find that the Simmons Shakespeare Firm is too hard on my shoulder. 
So, I end up switching positions a lot. 
I have read a lot on your website, googled Simmons, and can't seem to find out much info on the Legend series. 
I was told by the salesperson that this line is the best Simmons makes. 
I believe it offers the best, in terms of stability when sharing a bed (partner doesn't feel it when the other moves). 
It feels firm, not particularly "comfy", like one gets with a plush or pillowtop. But, it's softer than the Shakespeare I have at home. 
What is your opinion of the Legend Series?  
I hesitate to get sucked into that because of what we've experienced with our Stearns and Foster. 
I worry about its longevity, especially considering that they're asking more than $4000.00 for it.
My husband is 6'3 235 lbs, I am 5'5, 125 lbs. 
He prefers a slightly softer mattress than I do, but clearly has more body mass so it seems like he could benefit from something firmer. 
He does not sleep well on our guest room bed, the Simmons Shakespeare Luxury Firm. It's too hard for him.
What do you recommend given our situation? We are looking for a king size bed.
Thank you, Sue
 
 
Hi Sue,
The Legend is an exclusive for the store where you saw it.
As an exclusive, you can't shop it anywhere else. Hence, the outrageous price.
In fact, that retailer is one of the most expensive places to buy a mattress.
 
The Legend is NOT Simmons best. 
It is no more than a Platinum Series Beautyrest with a couple of extra bells and whistles that are nothing more than talking points. 
They do not make the mattress better or last longer. In fact, they add to early failure.
 
So, let's put all their BS aside and focus on what you need.
Based on your husband's size, you must start off with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Series.
The triple strand wire coils are the strongest that Simmons makes.
But, the memory foam upholstery is there to cause the mattress to wear prematurely.
To get around that, and add the surface softness you and your husband want, add a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
 
Latex is the best upholstery material on the planet, and has been for the last 100 years.
It will insulate you from the memory foam in the mattress, absorb your body weight, and cause the mattress to last far longer than the manufacturer intended. And, the latex toppers sleep cool...while the memory foam sleeps hot.
 
My recommendation is for the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in Luxury Firm.
And, a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper to go one it.
Here are links to each product.

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.

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.
Topper_Black
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.
Shown here:
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300

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.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Relief of Back Pain from Herniated Discs and Scoliosis.

Kathy writes;
 
Hey Pete!
I had been in contact with you before about a mattress and I'm back again, unfortunately.  
My fiance disregarded your advice and I bought the Serta iComfort mattress, a few months ago.  
It sags really badly in the areas we sleep in, which is causing us back pain again.  
We had a custom, platform storage bed build to hold the mattress.  
This frame doesn't move at all and is very sturdy!  My fiance weighs 300 lbs and I weigh around 165 lbs.  
He has a herniated discs in his lower back and I have minor scoliosis in my middle back.  
He is mostly a side sleeper, sometimes on back and stomach and I am a side sleeper, predominantly.  
I am finished with memory foam because of the sagging feature and the heat problems.  My fiance is a very hot sleeper!  
We've tried an interlocked coil bed and the motion transfer was horrible; every time my fiance would roll over I would go flying.  
So given all this information, what mattress would you recommend that is strong enough to hold the weight, will reduce motion transfer.
I'm ready to buy my last mattress, at least for the next 10 years.  And he is willing to listen to reason, this time around.
Thank you for your time, again!
Kathy
 
Hi Kathy,
I remember you. It wasn't all that long ago.
The recommendation, today, is the same as it was a few months ago.
One of the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses will solve your problems.
The individually pocketed coils will greatly reduce motion transfer.
The double tempered steel used to make those coils will hold a man his size, long term.
The Natural Talalay Latex won't sag and sleeps cool.

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.
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300
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.

Sealy Conform Memory Foam Mattress is Sinking.

Leigh writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I recently purchased two Sealy Conform memory foam mattress sets at Macy's in Florida, that I will be returning after sleeping on for less than 30 Days.
I told the salesman I had had back surgery on my discs five years ago and needed recommendations.
These mattresses are already sinking in. And, I weigh only 130lbs!!!!
I had purchased a 2nd set for my guest room so I moved to that room to compare them....same problem!!!
He now recommends I try Simmons Sensor Gel mattress.
Do you recommend this? Can you make any other recommendations?
From the input you have said in other responses it seems to me that I should be looking for no pillow top.
Do you recommend inner springs?
I can not afford to go into the latex all foam mattresses.
I have to make this exchange in the next 30 days and do not want to make another mistake 
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you, Leigh
 
 
Hi Leigh,
Your first and most damaging mistake was to tell your salesman about your back surgery. 
This is information, you shared with people who do not know what to do about it. 
Most of today's mattress salespeople know little about the products they sell, let alone about how to match up a physical ailment. 
You told him about it and assumed he'd know what mattress was best for you. 
Salespeople are trained to appear knowledgeable....how to make you trust them, without actually having the knowledge worthy of that kind of trust. 
To highlight this, that salesman has recommended A Simmons memory foam mattress to replace the Sealy memory foam mattress.
The first one didn't work and neither will the second...But, he doesn't know that.
It would be better to know what you want before you go shopping. You can research anything on-line.
  
It's clear that your back will require firm support. As a female side sleeper, you also need some cushioning to relieve the pressure at the hip. 
What good is a cushy mattress when that padding compresses so quickly and easily?...as yours has.
Start with stronger mattress and add a layer of soft latex, which will not compress. 
Latex is the highest quality upholstery material available. There is no substitute for quality. 
And when you have a sensitive back, the sleep system you choose has to feel as it needs to years from now, as it is when new. 
A latex plush topper provides surface comfort that remains like new for many years...and greatly extends the life of the mattress.
 
If you are exchanging these mattresses...as opposed to return for refund, then I recommend these:
For your room:
The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum in Luxury Firm
For the guest room:
The Simmons Beautyrest Silver in Medium Firm 
 
If you are returning for a refund, here are links to our corresponding mattresses. Compare pricing.

Add to both, a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper

Which EverEden Latex Topper to Relieve Shoulder and Hip Pain?

Sean writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I am hoping that you can help me decide which EverEden latex topper I should order.  
I am a 5'9" 205 lb. male who is a side sleeper and who has had shoulder and hip surgeries, and now sleeping in pain.  
I am currently sleeping on a "generic" memory foam bed.  The bed is extremely firm and feels more like a box-spring than a mattress.   
The past year, I have been using a 4" memory foam topper which has worked well until recently.  
It now feels like I'm sinking into a giant hole when I sleep and is extremely uncomfortable.  
I want a topper that will allow me to sleep on my side without the shoulder and hip pain.  
I am looking for something that will  give me the cushion feeling that I need for my hips and shoulders without feeling like I am sinking into a giant hole.
I would like it to last a lot longer than a year.  
Thank you, Sean
 
 
Hi Sean,
Only memory foam feels like that....sinking into a hole.
Latex holds you up and cushions you without allowing you to sink.
The EverEden Pure, All Natural Soft Talalay Latex does the best job. 
We normally recommend 2" for a comfortable sleeping surface. 
However, since your surgery has left your hip and shoulder super sensitive, then the 3" makes more sense for your particular needs.
Here is the link. You can order online.
