Replacing a My Comfort Mattress with a Simmons Beautyrest and Adjustable Bed.

Steve writes:

 

Hi Pete,

On Saturday, we placed an order at the big mattress chain store for:

 

2 ea BeautyRest PressureSmart Plush 12.25" Twin XL Mattresses ("medium" firmness)

2 ea Mattress Firm 300 Adjustable Base Twin XL

2 each "Bundles" w King Pillow, and Tencel (Bamboo Rayon) Sheets

2 ea Mattress protectors.

10 Warranty on adjustable base.

Delivery and Installation.

The total was $3,061.44...  Probably not too late to back out.

 

I discovered your website today.

We've been using a King "My Comfort" double thick Intelligel bed, for the past 12.5 years.

("My Comfort" was an "Intellibed" knock-off that is now out of business. "30 year warranty" - ha!) 

We've really liked it.  But, it's become very uncomfortable, having big "dents" in it where we sleep. 

This, despite rotating it faithfully. And, my wife feels that it's hurting her hip and back to sleep on it.

 

I'm short and fat - 275 lbs, with sleep apnea.  I use a CPAP. My wife's about 180 lbs.

 

We like the idea of 2 Twin XL beds. 

We suspect that we're waking each other up whenever one of us rolls over, or shifts position.  

With the Twin XL's, there shouldn't be any "motion transmission".  

We also like the idea that would could separate them and put a nightstand in between. 

(Like Lucy and Ricky Ricardo:))

 

My wife is very much, "The Princess and the Pea", noticing bumps in the sheet or mattress.  

And, she is very sensitive to chemicals. She can't use polyester sheets because it makes her feel itchy all over.  

If a neighbor sprays for dandelions, she gets plugged up and her face "burns". 

So, she needs something very comfortable, that won't cause a reaction, and it needs to fit in our budget.

 

We like the idea of the adjustable base so we can sit up in bed and watch TV.  

My wife says it's much more comfortable on her knees and hip to have her feet elevated.

 

We both sleep on our sides and backs, currently flipping and flopping several times each night.

 

We chose the mattresses we did because cost is a factor.  

I figured I could use them and throw them away 5 or 6 times for the cost of one Intellibed. 

So, any advice?  I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, Steve!

 

Hi Steve,

You did surprisingly well on price, considering where you bought it.

The mattress doesn’t off gas, so your wife shouldn’t react to it...unless the mattress protectors create a problem.

Unfortunately, a Simmons Beautyrest mattress won’t keep its shape well.

Under average weight people, about 4 years, max, is all you can expect.

You’ll be lucky to get a year.

 

The non-tempered steel used to make the coils and the memory foam upholstery combine to cause Simmons Beautyrest mattresses to need frequent replacing.

 

The warranty is all but useless.

Memory collapses easily, but returns when you get out of bed...enough so, that you’re highly unlikely to meet the requirements necessary to prevail in a warranty claim.

 

If you add a 2” Natural Talalay Latex Topper to those mattresses, they will last for many more years than the manufacturer intended.

A latex topper does a number of things.

Being the most resilient upholstery material on the planet, it will absorb most of your body weight...less work for the mattress.

Latex will also insulate you from the memory foam in the mattress.

Memory foam is temperature sensitive...softening as it warms from your body heat.

It then reflects your body heat back to you...causing you to sleep hot.

It’s the nightly warming and softening that causes the memory foam to wear so quickly.

The latex topper prevents all that, and sleeps cool.

I recommend the Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to go on each mattress. 

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

I can order those with a smooth bamboo cover, at no extra charge, for your wife’s sake.

Ups delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

They are made factory fresh and take about 2 weeks to arrive.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

A Mattress for Plus Size People. Back, Hip pain, Herniated Disc, Arthritis.

Sarah writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I recently found your website while researching mattress for plus size people. 

My husband and I are looking for a new king size mattress and are unsure of what to buy. 

We are both large people, 250-300 lbs each. 

My husband is a side sleeper and has back issues (herniated disc and arthritis). 

He tosses and turns a lot, finding it hard to get comfortable, saying his hips bother him. 

I am a stomach sleeper and find I get hot while sleeping. 

We currently have a one year old king size mattress from IKEA. 

We, definitely, need something more supportive, since it already has body impression.

I'm hoping you can help.

Sincerely,  Sarah

 

Hi Sarah,

The culprit in your mattress is memory foam.

Memory foam is the cause of your sleeping hot and the reason for your husband's back and hip pain.

Most of today's beds use memory foam to enhance profits. It is a poor quality product,

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing under average body weight.

Given your sizes and husband's herniated disc, I suggest The Natura of Canada Greenspring.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Pocketed Coil and Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert The Natura GreenSpring series combines the natural elements commonly found in Natura, such as wool and latex, but it has a specially designed pocketed coil system to provide your body with extra support. themattressexpert.com

 

To best accommodate both, your weights and his arthritis, I recommend the Firm model and adding to that:

A Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Latex is the highest quality upholstery material available. (Most Comfortable & Longest Lasting).

Because of your weights, it will be less expensive over the years, to replace the latex topper when needed.

In doing so, you will not have to replace the mattress.

You will save money in the long run, costing you a whole lot less per year.

 

The mattress comes with white glove delivery...set-up on your frame, and your old mattress removed.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

Simmons Beautyrest Extra Firm Mattress and 3" Plush Latex Topper for Scoliosis and Hip Pain.

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are looking to replace a (just) 4-year-old queen Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress. 

We're VERY disappointed in it's fast depressions and sagging, and we both suffer misery nightly.

It gives me pressure point, hips and shoulder pain and numbness in my arm. 

My husband is suffering with general, overall soreness.  

We've always had Cushion Firm mattresses. But, the last two we've had, have failed very quickly.

What you say, about the decline of quality in these mattresses, is very true.  

We're now better educated, thanks to you, and are so nonplussed about the idea of buying another typical innerspring mattress, and setting ourselves up for more early planned obsolescence.

 

I'm 55 years, 5'4" and about 140 pounds, and have had severe scoliosis since my teenage years.

I need the fusion surgery but have no plans to get it, ever.  I'm a side and stomach sleeper.

My husband is 53 years, 5'9" and about 170 pounds.  Side and back sleeper.  No health problems.  Snores!  :)

 

I don't know that we can afford an all-latex mattress...or if that would be the best thing for my scoliosis.  

After reading your site and blog, I'm wondering if the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm with a Pure Bliss Plush latex topper would be ideal...or if the Extra Firm would be better...or what?  

I just keep thinking about my pressure points, which make my legs ache for hours after I get up.  

And for the topper, would 2" or 3" inches be better?  

Oh the choices.  My head spins.  I'd be so grateful for your help!

Many thanks, Lisa

 

 

Hi Lisa,

That you've been reading is extremely helpful to both of us.

In doing so, you now have a handle on what it is you should have and why.

The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove is an ideal choice.

The individually pocketed coils provide firm support that maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

The extra firm model, for a side sleeping female, will apply too much pressure on your hip. 

However, the extra firm will be better for your severe scoliosis.

Using a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper will offset the pressure at the hip.

Together, both of your issues will be addressed.

Here are links to both.

Which Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Which Pure Bliss Latex Topper?

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in the market for a new mattress. 

My current mattress is approx 8 years old pillow-top model. 

When I lay down to sleep, I can feel the body impression I've created after 8 years of use.

 

I've visited a handful of stores and tried a variety of mattresses. 

My current mattress experience has made me wary of pillow-tops, so I'm considering other options. 

Of the mattresses I've tried, I liked the Simmons Beautyrest the best. 

I'm considering that and getting a Pure Bliss latex topper to add for comfort, as you've suggested in your blog.

 

Would you be so kind as to please share your thoughts on which mattress to get.

Is it better to get the Luxury/Medium Firm or the Extra Firm, and then buy the latex topper? Which topper?

If it helps, I don't have any one particular way of sleeping. rather, It's a combo of back, side and stomach. 

It's just me: 5'5", 150

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

Latex is the best, (Most Comfortable, Most Resilient), upholstery material on the market.

Pure Bliss is thee name brand in latex. Their US made Talalay Latex is the finest latex available.

Latex resists body impressions, remaining like new for many years.

 

The individually pocketed coils, of the Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, contour to the shape of the body and maintains the natural alignment of the spine. THIS is why you liked it better than others.

For your size, I recommend the Platinum Series Beautyrest.

The Luxury/Medium Firm is better for supporting the curves of a female body.

The Extra Firm will create too much pressure at the hip.

Here is our link to that mattress:

The Pure Talalay Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Toppers are available in Plush or Firm, at 2" or 3" thick.

For you, you will use the Plush. For most women, the 3" is prefered, which better cushions you at the hip.

We use a 3" Plush Topper at home, for my wife's sensitive hip.

3 year old Serta icomfort mattress already sagging.

Stephen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I purchased a Serta icomfort mattress 3 years ago, and it's already sagging in the middle. 

What are my options for fixing this?

Thanks, Stephen

 

Hi Stephen,

There is a a long term solution to your problem.

It's the memory foam on top that has failed. 

However, the memory foam is supported by high density polyurethane foam.

Despite being made as a one sided mattress, the flip side is usable.

Flip your mattress over, putting the memory foam side down.

The underside is likely to be too form to sleep on comfortably, but does provide better support.

For surface comfort, add a Pure Bliss 2" or 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

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

The latex topper will provide extraordinary surface comfort and remain like new for many years.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Spinal Fusions.

Nancy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have been looking for a new mattress and have tried out too many. 

A friend recommended you and The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress, which they bought from you. 

They purchased the ultra plush model. 

 

I have had two spinal fusions and I need something that is not going to sag. 

I tried their ultra plush model, and it felt great.

My concern is that the ultra plush will sag like our old one did, within a short period of time.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Nancy

 

Hi Nancy,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are made of extremely high quality components. 

The high coil count, the coils made of double tempered steel, the Natural Talalay Latex and NO Memory Foam combine to make these mattresses more supportive, more comfortable and much longer lasting that any of the

Name Brand mattress. 

To give you an example, my wife and I weight in excess of 200 lbs.

We have been sleeping on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress for more than 4 years.

And despite our sizes, this mattress remains in like new condition.

 

Unlike all the memory foam filled mattresses you'll find at most stores, Natura Talalay Latex doesn't sag.

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

Despite all the advertising and hype to the contrary, memory foam has proven to be the worst upholstery material ever invented, over its 20 year history.

 

If the term 'ultra plush' concerns you, there are three firmer models in the Natura of Canada line of mattresses.

Body Impressions and Sleeping Hot on a Toxic Memory Foam Mattress.

 

Lisa writes:

 

Hi Peter,

Our mattress is beginning to show some body impressions and the edges are getting soft.  

We got a memory foam topper and we had to let it air out for 3 weeks before we could tolerate the odor.  

Then, it was too blessed HOT to sleep on comfortably.  We tossed it out.

I agree totally that the memory foam is toxic.

  

We have read too many bad reviews and Consumers Reports recently gave this mattress a poor review.  

We want an old fashioned two-sided flippable mattress with coil springs not a fluffy top.  

And what's the scoop on the TV commercials about a mattress getting heavier over years due to dead bugs?  

Thanks, Lisa

 

 

Hi Lisa,

There are lots of TV commercials designed to create business.

Many local stores run ads that are designed to put consumers in the market for a mattress.

Do try to ignore those. Fear mongering is one of the most effective tactics used.

 

From the 1920s through the 1960s, mattresses were upholstered with cotton batting.

Other than plastic, there was no such thing as a waterproof mattress protector, in those days.

Dust mites would make their way into the mattress to live and breed.

Also, your perspiration seeps into the mattress, if you didn't use a mattress pad or launder it frequently.

Both of these circumstances would make a mattress heavier over time.

 

Since the 1970s, the cotton batting was replaced with the latest, greatest innovation...polyurethane foam.

Latex, poly foam and memory foam, the 3 principle upholstery materials used today, are a hostile environment for dust mites. They no longer get in and breed in your mattress.

 

Dust mites do collect on the surface, as they feed off of your dead skin cells, which you shed by the millions.

Using a waterproof mattress protector, laundering your linens more frequently and vacuuming the surface of your mattress will keep the dust mite population to a minimum.

A waterproof mattress protector, will prevent perspiration for seeping into your mattress. 

Keeping your mattress dry will promote longer life of the upholstery materials inside.

This Organic Waterproof Mattress Protector also sleeps cool, while many others sleep hot.

https://themattressexpert.com/bedding/gotcha-covered/protectors/

 

We do carry a line of well made, reasonably priced two-sided flippable mattresses. 

If you don't want a fluffy top, then go with the Brolynn Plush, which is firmer than it sounds.

Here is a link to those mattresses.

Serta Mattress Sinks and is Causing Me Back Pain.

Victoria writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thank you for speaking with me yesterday.

As I told you, I have a Consumer Reports recommended Serta mattress that sinks in and is causing me back pain.

I flipped the mattress over, as you suggested and this morning I feel much better. 

It isn't very comfortable on the harder underside, but my back doesn't hurt, just like you said.

I'm writing for a recommendation. 

I'm on the heavier side, about 160 lbs. and with a bad back.

I've seen mattresses costing thousands of dollars.

I'm hoping that what you recommend to me with support me properly, be comfortable, and not cost all that much.

Thanks, Victoria

 

Hi Victoria,

The experiment I had you do at home, was to determine if you needed better support. 

Today's mattresses use a lot of memory foam, which is what's on the top side of the mattress you have at home.

All of the major brands use plenty of memory foam....Serta, especially.

 

 

It sounds like the flip side of your mattress is providing adequate support, as I hoped it would.

The good news is, you don't need a new mattress. You only need to make yours comfortable.

Simply add a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper for the surface comfort you'll need to sleep deeply.

Here is the link you'll need to order that.

Looking for a Really Firm Mattress and Latex Topper.

Linda writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a Simmons Beautyrest that I purchased five years ago from a department store.  

It's an innerspring, one-sided "firm" mattress that has lost its firmness somewhere and now has some serious depressions.  

A couple of years ago I discovered I have degenerative disc disease and need a mattress that gives a lot of support.

 

Once upon a time, I had a Queen Sealy Posturpedic, two sided flippable mattress that lasted me seventeen years.  

I would have married that mattress, but it finally bit the dust.  

Anyway, does Sealy make such a thing any more?  If they don't, where can I find something comparable?  

It needs to be really, really firm and I'd try the latex topper, as it seems that's what  you recommend.  

Thank you for your blog, advice and expertise.

Linda

 

Hi Linda,

It’s not a question of how much support, as it is the proper support.

The problem with most of today’s mattresses is the memory foam upholstery.

Your old Posturepedic didn’t have memory foam in it.

The coils in the Beautyrest mattress you have provide the right support.

The memory on top is what failed. (Purposefully designed to fail).

 

You may or may not need a new mattress. So, let's find out.

Flip that mattress over tonight. The underside is very firm.

Your back should feel better in the morning.

If so, then order a Pure Talalay Bliss 2” or 3” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

In Need of King Size Mattress Like the Westin Heavenly Bed.

Wendy writes:

 

Hello Pete,

My husband and I had slept beautifully on a queen size Westin heavenly bed for over 10 years. 

I was in need of replacing and we wanted to switch to to king size which we did maybe 4 years ago.

 

We ordered a king size Heavenly bed, which began to sag badly after about six months. 

They replaced it and the same thing happened, so we bought a different mattress, and now, a year and a half later, it is very saggy.

It is causing low back pain, and pain in the hips and shoulders from pressure.  

 

My husband and I are both side sleepers, and he weighs about 160 pounds and I weigh about 120 pounds. 

We were surprised our mattresses have not lasted long. The quality isn’t what it used to be. 

 

What are your recommendations for us as far as mattress, base support and any toppers.

Thanks, Wendy

 

 

 

Hi Wendy,

The Westin Heavenly Bed is a Simmons Beautyrest.
Your original mattress had no memory foam in it.
It was upholstered with polyurethane foam and maybe some latex.

Today, all Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented...purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

It’s not an overall reduction in quality...just that one component that has caused the problems you’ve encountered...along with so many other people.

It is the pre-compressed, individually pocketed coils that provides great support.
I have two recommendations for you.

1) A Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm Mattress and a Latex Topper to go on it.

The latex topper will insulate you from the memory foam and cause the mattress to remain like new for many years.

Add a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" or 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Here are the links for both products.
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

2) A Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
This uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest.
The number of coils is greater and the coils are stronger.
Also, the upholstery material is natural Talalay Latex and contains no memory foam.
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
We have this mattress at home.
And despite us being much heavier than either of you, our mattress remains in like new condition, without so much as a dent in it, after the 4 years we’ve had it.
Here’s a link to that mattress.

Either way, the mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Thanks, Pete

 

****************************************************************

 

Hi Pete,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. 
We were also looking at the Wolf Two Sided mattresses.

They can be flipped and turned and set on a foundation, not requiring a box spring.

And, using a topper that can be changed out over the years, will make it less expensive. 

I think we are feeling wary of the one sided plush mattresses. 

Also, the Wolf Two Sided Mattresses, have a good number of pocketed springs. 

How does is compare to the Beautyrest?
Thanks for your help,
Wendy

 

Hi Wendy,
The Wolf Two Sided Mattress is a good choice for your weights.

Wolf Double Sided Flippable Mattresses | The Mattress Expert Introducing the Duo-Comfort mattress, providing your customer with comfort options in one single mattress. The Duo-Comfort is a 11″ double-sided mattress that has a firm side and a plush side. themattressexpert.com

Compared to the Beautyrests, the Wolf coils are tempered. Simmons does not temper their coils.

And the upholstery is plant based poly foam...NO Memory Foam 

Also, the Wolf mattresses are shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed.
They ship via UPS...dropped off at the front door.
They don’t offer white glove delivery service.

If you’re ok with that, you’ll be happy with the years of service it provides.
