Which Natura Mattress for an Average Weight Couple.‏

Jim writes:

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are looking for a new mattress and are interested in the Natura line. We are of average height and weigh 160 & 110 lbs respectively. 
1. Which model would be the most price effective but still suite our needs regarding support and wear and tear?
2. Are Natura two-sided mattresses?
3. We live in Canada. For Canadian purchases do you ship from a Canadian warehouse or will customs charges apply?
4. Regarding pricing on your website, what do the two different prices under the mattress size connote?
Thank you in advance.
Jim 

Hi Jim,

Natura is a Canadian based company. Their products ship from their Toronto plant.

White Glove delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Each mattress comes, either as a mattress alone, or as a set, which includes a foundation. Hence, the two prices.

These are one sided mattresses.

For the best they make, we turn to their Level 2 All Natural Latex line.

The starting model, the Boudolay in plush, is all you need.

They also make a pocketed coil unit, made very much like the Simmons Beautyrest...except that the Natura is upholstered with all natural latex.

These, too, are an excellent choice and a bit less expensive than an all latex mattress.

The Greenspring Liberty model in plush or ultra plush , is what I would suggest for you, from this line.  
It takes approx. 3 weeks to get delivery of a freshly made mattress.

Here are links to both mattresses.

Sleep Tek vs Beautyrest Mattress to Canada.

Barb writes:

Hello,
We live in Canada. What is your opinion on the Sleep Tek latex mattress (8")? 

I am looking at this and also a more traditional Beautyrest (probably a Black model). 

This is for myself (63 yrs - 5'5", 160 lbs. and my husband - 66yrs - 6', 235 lbs. - both of us are side/stomach sleepers - no major health complaints).
I looked at Sleep Tek mattresses in a local store. They look nice but price is about CA$4500. A Beautyrest would be less. 
We have always had coil spring mattresses so latex is new to us. Will the latex be better than a coilspring? I note that you and your wife sleep on a
coil spring with topper.
We have had 2 mattresses (Kingsdown, Beautyrest) in the last 11 years and neither has been satisfactory. 

As noted on your website they seem to last, at most 2 years.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you, Barb

 

Hi Barb,

There is no comparison between what Sleep Tek has to offer and the Simmons Beautyrest.

They are made completely differently.

I like what Sleep Tek has to offer, using latex instead of the poly and memory foams used in the Beautyrests.

However, we can offer you an even better option.

 

One of our suppliers is Natura, based in Toronto.

They offer an innerspring unit that is topped with latex...and is the similar coil unit used in the Simmons Beautyrest.

Shown Here:

They also offer several all latex models.

Shown Here:

You'll find these to be much more reasonably priced, with free delivery and no sales tax...delivered everywhere in Canada.

Natura Mattresses to Canada.

Phil writes:

Hi Pete, 

I am looking for mattress advice for Canada. 
I'm about 200 lbs and sleep mostly on my back. My wife sleeps mostly on her side. Neither one of us suffer any serious back/neck pain other than the typical aches and pains of getting older. I tend to sleep a bit hot. I'd say we like medium firmness.
I've read through much of your information and you seem to support Natura as a good alternative to Beautyrest Black Ava with a latex topper due to their tempered coils with latex layered materials. Can you make specific recommendations for us?
Cheers, Phil

 

Hi Phil,

Latex sleeps cool and is more resilient than any other type of foam.

This plush model has more latex in it, and is my favorite of all the Greenspring models for good over-all support...and comfort that is not too soft.

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

 

Thanks for the quick reply!
Would you recommend this one over one of their latex mattress? The money isn't really an issue, we were looking at a $3000 Kingsdown mattress before I really started to dig into what we were buying.
We've never owned anything other than an innerspring so I'm not sure how we'd enjoy a latex mattress.
Phil

Hi Phil,

I find that larger people with some sort of disc problem are the only group that do not fare well on an all latex mattress. For the vast majority of people, it's nothing short of fabulous...and, it remains fabulous for a very long time. 

While all natural latex is more expensive to buy, it's cheaper to use over the years.

Of the ones available from Natura, the Bourdolay Dual model provides a firmer feel on one side and a softer feel on the other...with neither being too firm nor too soft.

It strikes me as the ideal choice for you both.

Delivery to Canada, Therapedic Two Sided, Flippable Mattress.

Bill writes:

Dear Sir/Madam:
My name is Bill and I live in Nanaimo, located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
I extracted information on the subject mattress from the internet during my research to identify a unit that will provide long-lasting support and comfort to my wife who suffers from muscle and joint pains. It would appear that this mattress may have the features that will provide relief to my wife from these symptoms.
I have attempted to track down a distributor of the product in Canada without success to date. I will therefore greatly appreciate it if you can provide me with the information, assuming that the mattress  can be obtained in Canada.
Yours sincerely, Bill 

Hi Bill,

The reason why we have these mattresses, is because I had them made. They are of my design and engineered by me. The Therapedic plant in New Jersey makes them for me.

They are not offered by Therapedic, generally.

Shipping across the border entails a number of challenges...including a variety of fees and your Canadian sales tax.

What we can do, and have done in the past, is to ship the mattress to a border town on the US side, for you to pick up there.

Therapedic Keepsake Cameo Plush

 

Of the 4 models shown, the Cameo plush is the one that would best address your wife's condition.

 

You might also consider an all latex mattress. These are ideal for joint and muscle pain.

We do carry a Canadian manufacturer that delivers anywhere within Canada.

Natura Latex Hybrid Mattress to Canada.

Hi Peter,
It is me again , Margaret from Canada. We are wondering, in the Natura line , what would you recommend for us , as we would like to know what to budget ?

I see there are Latex Hybrid models, but wonder if that is for us ?
Thanks, Margaret

Hi Margaret,

The hybrids are an excellent value.

The plant based foam that supports the latex is made from all natural materials.

It isn't as strong or as durable as latex, but is a good choice for people who are smaller and lighter in weight.

Your husband definitely qualifies. You may too, depending on how you're built.

This is the tricky part.

Guys are usually built with very little in the way of curves. Of course, the same isn't true for females.

So, if you are one of those females who are slender at the hip, the hybrid is a good choice for you, as well.

Most females flair at the hip. If you are a bit hippy, so to speak, it will be at that point in the mattress that will show the first signs of wear.

If this is you, then go with an all latex model.

 

You'd may be surprised to hear that I've received countless calls and emails, over the years, from women who complain about the dent in their mattress, which forms at the hip.

What they are most upset about is that their, twice as large and heavy husband, has no dents on his side of the mattress.

For the ladies, it's all about the hip.

 

New, from Natura, is an individually pocketed coil unit that's topped with latex.

These, too, would be a good budget conscious choice.

Below, are the three models...one from each group, that I would recommend for comfort.

They are, all, plush models.

Also available, from each group, are firm models...if you prefer a firmer feel.

Mattress Inquiry from Canada.

Katie writes:

Hello,
I was very pleased to come across your website. I found it to have a lot of great information and my interest in latex has been peaked. 
My husband and I would like to invest in the purchase of a new king bed for our new home. This will be our first king bed and we really want it to be the most comfortable we can afford! I don't believe our budget allows for a full latex bed, so I was very intrigued to read about the latex mattress topper.
What I am wondering is what type of bed we should purchase to use the topper on? I wasn't clear on whether we can purchase the mattresses directly from your store (as we live in Montreal,Quebec, Canada) or whether you make recommendations for local purchase? 
I have been looking at Simmons BeautyRest mattresses locally, but I find it so overwhelming to figure out which one is best for us. My husband is very muscular and weighs 270 pounds. I just gave birth to our first child, so currently weigh 170, but I am typical around 150 pounds. Both my husband and I sleep on our side to start, but usually roll onto our stomachs. It seems from what I have read on your site, a firm mattress is recommended with a latex topper... I am just confused of what type of firm mattress I should be looking at.
If your shipping of mattress' and toppers are possible to our home, we would be interested in knowing what products your store could offer us.
Thank you, Katie 

 

Hi Katie,

If going with a Simmons Beautyrest, opt for the extra firm model in the Black Series. It will do the best job of holding a man the size of your husband.

You'll then soften the surface with a layer of latex for pressure point relief, muscle relaxation and over-all comfort.

The topper, I can send you. The mattress, you will need to buy in Canada.

We do offer all-latex mattresses that we can deliver to you.

Here is a link to the mattresses and the toppers.

The prices are in US dollars, but will check out at 10% less. There's no cost for delivery...and, there's no sales tax.

Latex Foam Mattress Topper to Canada.

Tom writes:

Hi ... I've been reading your informative site the last couple of days. After a few weeks of sleeping wonderfully on an air mattress while my house was for sale, it occurred to me that I am not sleeping well on my 6 year old, expensive Beautyrest mattress mainly because I am too hot. Also, the copious padding on top is indented in various places. Could you please suggest a solution short of buying a new mattress? I have never used a topper .... Would this help both cooling and making it firmer? If so, could recommend a particular one for a king that could be shipped to Canada?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Tom

 

Hi Tom,
That's an easy fix.
Flip your mattress over. The underside is much firmer.
Add one of these latex topper to it after you flip it it, and you'll have what you want and need...firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.
Here's the link from which to choose and order a latex foam mattress topper delivered to Canada.
They are on sale, so the price will reduce by 10% when you check out.
Also, you won't have to pay Canadian sales tax.

Canada, What's New.

 

Hello to all our Neighbors to the North,

The Las Vegas Furniture Market is winding down.

Earlier this year, we added "Natura" a line of Canadian made all-natural and organic latex foam mattresses and toppers for adults and children to our website.

We ship these items free directly to the consumer throughout Canada.

This market, we found a couple of other Canadian made lines to add to our "Canada" page, providing you with a greater selection of related products...like bedroom furniture and platform beds, bunk beds and futons...all of which will be finding their way to our website over the coming weeks...so, keep an eye out for those.

These, too, will cost you nothing for delivery, nor do we charge you sales tax.

Thanks, Pete

Organic Mattress for a small child‏.

Joe writes:

Hi Peter, 

We need an organic twin mattress for our three year old. What would you recommend? Joe

 

Hi Joe,

All latex is organic, but expensive.

A basic innerspring with a latex topper produces the same feel, but for much less cost.

Here are links to follow. The first is to the most reasonably prices all natural latex mattresses.

The second is to the starting Beautyrest and the third is to the latex mattress toppers.

Kingsdown mattress too firm, need soft latex topper, Canada

Elvira writes:

I am writing to you from Alberta, Canada. We bought a Kingsdown tight top mattress from a local store (called Esquire), and find it much too firm. It's like sleeping on a rock. We want to exchange it, but are unsure what to get. I am a stomach sleeper, and my husband has some back and hip problems. Can you suggest what we should get? We generally prefer firm mattresses, but comfort is key. Much appreciated. Elvira

 

Hi Elvira. 

The easiest way to fix your problem is with a topper. A 2" soft latex would do a good job of softening the surface. 
Mattresses are made differently there than they are here. Something in a cushion firm may work better. A plush will be too soft for you, since you sleep on your stomach.

It would be better to keep what you have and add the topper, which will provide the firm support and surface comfort necessary for a deep night's sleep.

Here's a link to our latex toppers from "Natura". We deliver them anywhere in Canada with no cost for shipping and no sales tax.
