Back Pain I Attribute to an Unsupportive Mattress.

Chris writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are looking for a new mattress. I'm 260 lbs. She's about 130 lbs. 
I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her back. 
I occasionally have lower back pain after sleeping, which I attribute to an increasingly unsupportive mattress.
Can you recommend something that will give us a great night sleep?
Thank you, Chris
 
Hi Chris,
I do have something that will give you a great night's sleep that will do so long term.
It would be the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
My wife and I are large people, each over 200 lbs.
And, I have lots of disc related back problems, accumulated over the years.
Our mattress is 5 years old and, still, in like new condition...with not so much as a dent in it.
And even though my back has seen better days, I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain.
That mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

A Mattress That Will Relieve My Back Pain.

Annette writes:
 
Hello Pete, 
A friend of a friend highly recommended you!
I suffer from back pain. From my neck all the down to my lower back. Emphasis on my mid back. 
I'm on the larger side 5'2" 220 and my husband 5'7" 180. 
We bought a mattress in January 2020 and it has started to sink on my side, causing even more pain. 
I desperately need a recommendation for a mattress that will relieve my back pain.
My husband is in the military, Infantry, so very labor intensive at times but overall sleeps great no matter the mattress. Please help! 
Thanks, Annette
 
Hi Annette,
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is my recommendation.
It will give you the support, comfort and longevity you need and want.

A High Quality Mattress for Heavy People at a Reasonable Price.

Candace writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have a seemingly impossible request.
My husband and I are heavy people. He's 6' 250, I'm 5'6" 225.
We have had a very bad time buying mattresses. They collapse within several months!
Got that?!...MONTHS, not years!
We need a mattress. We need one that is reasonably priced. We need it to be strong enough to hold our weights.
We need it to last several YEARS...not just months.
I was complaining about all this to my sister-in-law, who recommended that I contact you.
Here's hoping!
Thanks, Candace
 
Hi Candace,
Most of today's mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
An average size person is likely to get a year or two for comfortable sleep.
Being a pressure sensitive product, a mattress made with memory foam wears even quicker under heavy people.
As difficult as it is to do, you MUST avoid buying mattresses with memory foam in them.
 
Your sister-in-law steered you to the right place. Thank her for me.
We specialize in mattresses that have no memory foam in them.
Instead, we focus on mattresses upholstered with latex.
Latex is and has been the best, most resilient upholstery material for the past 100 years.
Reasonably priced mattresses, upholstered with latex, is not easy to find.
However, with found the Wolf brand, while shopping the industry trade shows.
Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been owned and operated by the same family.
Est. in 1873, Wolf makes quality mattress at reasonable prices. The UPS delivery helps to keep the prices low.
Their best, strong and comfortable models, are the Individually Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses.
The coils are made of double tempered steel and the upholstery is latex.
There is NO Memory Foam in these mattresses.
For your sizes, I recommend the Adara model.

A Latex Topper on a Form Mattress to Relieve Pain.

Lynn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I suffer from DDD, Migraines, arthritis and take a hormone blocker for breast cancer that gives me general aches.
 
We have a firm mattress that is probably around 10 years old. 
It's starting to show signs of indented body outlines. 
I sleep on a pillow that has a hollowed out center for your head when you lay on your back.
 
Every morning, when I get out of bed, my body hurts so bad I have to sit on side of bed to try to move. 
My neck is so bad, I can’t turn it to the right, and see a chiropractor to try to make it turn. 
My Upper shoulder muscles have knots. I get Botox for my migraines. 
The neurologist always places some across the band of muscles at base of skull, as well as along my traps. 
My neck has lost its curvature due to my muscles being so taught for so many years.
 
Last night we slept on the Heavenly mattress at the Westin Hotel. 
I came home fully anticipating to buy one. I have never slept so well. 
My body did not hurt at all and I had full range of motion on my neck! I was just ecstatic. 
Then, I read the information on your page about it being great for 1 night but not for much longer as it it’s too soft and will cause back pain. I was devastated.
 
Can you please help me determine what type of mattress we should by as well as recommend a mattress Topper that may help get us a few more months or a year with current mattress.
Kindest regards, Lynn
 
Hi Lynn,
It sounds like a topper is the first step.
A good one should relieve many of your aches and pains.
It has to be soft, chemical free, and remain like new for a few years...wearing slowly.
The EverEden 3” Soft all natural Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is the one to get.
Shown here:
EVEREDEN Topper_side-straps2

Shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
There’s no point in discussing a mattress at this time.
Things change regularly in this industry.
The topper should be all you need for, maybe, years.
You might try the topper on both sides of your mattress and use it on whichever side produces the better result.
 
You’ll, likely, to be able to use that same topper on whatever mattress comes next.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress from 2005.

Denise writes:
 
Good Morning Pete,
I am in the market to replace my 2005 Simmons Beautyrest Cashmere pillowtop, Queen size mattress.  
It seems to be sagging toward the middle of the bed.
 
I am a large lady, 5'6, 300 lbs., my boyfriend weighs approx. 200 lbs.
I am a side sleeper with degenerative disc issues.  
 
I've read your Mattress 101 & 102 blog, I appreciate all your great advice!!  
 
Please advise what mattress I should be looking at purchasing.
Greatly appreciate your help! Thank you so much, Denise
 
Hi Denise,
Simmons made a great line of mattresses, back then.
They have, since, been sold to investors who are using memory foam upholstery.
The point of the memory foam is to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
Nothing Simmons makes, today, is even close to the quality of yours.
 
But, there is a mattress that will hold up well under your weights and provide the same type of support that you’ve been used to.
That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring...the Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of the four models in that line.
 
Here is a link to that line of mattresses

A Mattress for 2- 400 Lb. People

Tracy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We are looking for a mattress that will hold 2- 400 lb. people.
We tend to go through mattresses quickly, which has become expensive.
We currently have a Sealy Posturepedic. We wake up tired and feeling sick.
We like firm support, but comfortable.
What would you recommend?
Thanks, Tracy
 
Hi Tracy,
My recommendation comes in two parts....a firm mattress and a plush latex topper.
Latex is both, comfortable and resilient. 
A latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, adding to the longevity of the mattress.
As the years go by, you'll replace the latex topper from time to time...as necessary.
But you won't have to replace the mattress for many years.
The mattress is extremely strong, using a very high coil count and very strong coils, made of double tempered steel.
The upholstery is firm latex.
That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.
shown here:   
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 

Add to that, a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:

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

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Tired of Sleeping in a Hole on a Sealy Pillowtop Mattress.

John writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are shopping for a new mattress.
I'm tired of sleeping in a hole on our Sealy Pillowtop mattress, that we got only a year ago.
I am 6'1", 250 lbs. My wife is much smaller, but has a hole on her side too.
We plan on getting something firmer to avoid all this.
But when we check reviews for the Serta and Simmons mattresses, we tried, everyone says they only last about 3 years.
Is this what I can expect from mattresses today?
Are there any better alternatives?
Thanks, John
 
Hi John,
That's what you can expect from all the, so called, name brands that you could once trust to make a quality mattress.
What changed? 
They were all sold to investors who use memory foam, which causes a mattress to need frequent replacing.
3 years is all you can expect at average body weight. For a man your size, about a year from anything they make.
 
There is an alternative.
My wife and I are over 200 lbs., each. 
Our current mattress is almost 5 years old and, still, in like new condition.
The difference?...a stronger coil system and latex upholstery...with NO Memory Foam.
Of course, it isn't made by any of those name brands that have gone bad.
And, you don't have to substitute comfort for longevity.
We have the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, which is what I'm recommending for you and your wife.

Tired of Buying Mattresses that Last Only a Couple of Years.

Alvin writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm tired of buying mattresses that last only a couple of years.
I'm a big man, 250 lbs., and have sold a bill of good the last 3 times out.
Despite the sagging, I'm told there's nothing wrong with the mattress.
These mattress are pure junk and the warranties are worthless.
I got online to research this and came across your blog. 
After reading some of your blog posts, I'm confident that you can help me.
What should I get?
Thanks Alvin
 
Hi Alvin,
Despite all the hype to the contrary, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
Its ags easily and quickly, but returns to normal when you get out of bed.
Unfortunately, all of the name brands are upholstered with it...and many other brands, as well.
The key to a successful purchase is avoiding mattresses made with memory foam.
 
Polyurethane foam was the primary upholstery used by the industry from the late 1960s to about 10 years ago.
It was at about that time that all of the name brands were sold and memory foam substituted for the sake of profit.
Memory foam is specifically designed to sell more mattresses, more frequently, to the same people.
 
The best upholstery material has been latex...true for the last 100 years.
Latex was a lot more expensive than poly foam, so it's been over the last 10 years, or so, that latex has made a dramatic comeback...as the best option for both, comfort and durability.
 
My wife and I are large people. The mattress we have at home is nearly 5 years old and still, in like new condition.
The support and comfort is outstanding and it would be the mattress I recommend for you, as well.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush is that mattress.
Shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 

It's ultra plush when compared to the other 3 models in that line, and nowhere near as soft as it sounds.
By no one's standards can this mattress be considered, too soft.
The individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of the spine.
The coil count is very high and the steel used to make the coils is double tempered for strength and durability.
The plush latex, on top, cushions you, but doesn't allow you to sink into it....creating the feeling of floating.
 
This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring to Replace a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Paul writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I bought a super comfortable Simmons BeautyRest World Class mattress with the pillow top.
That was about 16 years ago. It's now time to replace it. The pillow top has sagged in the last 6-7 years. 
We both are side sleepers but she will occasionally lie on her back.
We are not impressed by the memory foam mattresses. 
We are considering one of the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses. 
We are both 6’ tall. I weigh about 250 lbs., and she is about 165 lbs.
What is your recommendation and pricing for the appropriate king size mattress. 
I have very good low profile boxes and would hate to replace them.
Thank you, Paul
 
Hi Paul,
If those box springs are, also, 16 years old, you’ll risk much to save little.
The price of the set isn’t much more than the price of the mattress alone.
Any mattress you put on those old box springs, will have its warranty immediately voided. And, the mattress will conform to the weak spots in the box springs.
 
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses use the same type of coil system, as is in your Beautyrest. The coil count is a little higher, but the coils are much stronger, made of double tempered steel. 
Simmons does not tempered the steel they use...never have.
What’s more, the Natural Talalay Latex is more resilient than the poly foam used in your mattress...which may have a little latex in it....depending on the model.
That information can be found on the white ‘law’ label at the head of your mattress.
 
And so, all of the Greenspring mattresses are firmer than they sound.
The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of the 4...and it’s the one we sleep on at home.
We are, each, over 200 lbs and our mattress remains in like new condition, despite being almost 5 years old.
It’s a very high quality mattress.
Here is a link to that line of mattresses. Scroll down to find the Ultra Plush.

Another Latex Mattress to Replace a Sealy SpringFree.

Madge writes:
Hi Pete,
My husband and I bought a Sealy Springfree latex mattress, from you, 20 years ago.
We have loved sleeping on this mattress all that time.
Now, body impressions are starting to show and it has lost some of it's original comfort.
We need your advice as to the best mattress to replace it.
Thanks, Madge
 
Hi Madge,
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed that mattress for so long.
Latex mattresses, typically, will last about 20 years...far exceeding the manufacturer's warranty.
Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic and no long make a quality mattress.
Everything they make, today, is upholstered with memory foam, which is why we no longer sell Sealy.
I do have a line of latex mattresses that exceed the quality of the one you have.
They are made in Canada, made of superior quality, natural materials.
Here is a link to The Natura of Canada line of Natural Talalay Latex Mattresses:
There are 5 choices of comfort.
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress

 

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress and all packing materials.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax...anywhere throughout the continental US and Canada.
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
Shown here, are 2 quality models from which to choose.
Both do the job. The second is a bit more luxurious.
