A replacement mattress for an old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Baymont Plush.

Jim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Baymont Plush, king-sized, that I’ve owned for 20+ years.  

It’s finally worn out and in need of replacement. Can you tell me what today’s equivalent is?  

It’s been the best mattress I’ve ever owned and I’d like to replicate it as much as reasonably possible.

Thank you, Jim

 

Hi Jim,

There is no equivalent from Simmons.

Simmons, along with all of the major brands, has been sold to investors.

20 years ago, it was nearly impossible to buy a bad mattress.

Today, just the opposite is true.

 

I can recommend a mattress that is similarly made to Simmons Beautyrest.

The type of coil system is the same. The type of support is the same.

The differences are:

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than in any Simmons mattress.

The upholstery material is Natural Talalay Latex.

Simmons now uses memory foam.

There is no memory foam in your old mattress.

 

The mattress that you will enjoy as much and for as long is:

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

What Mattress does The Mattress Expert sleep on?

Alan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What Mattress does The Mattress Expert sleep on?

 

We are a bit older and on the heavy side, with lots of back pain.

We need firm support with a comfortable sleeping surface that will hold up well under our weights.

I look forward to your response, Alan

 

Hi Alan,

Over the years, my wife and I have home tested several mattresses.

Normally, we would keep them for a few years and give them to a family member.

The mattress we have now, we've had for 9 years.

We are large, older people as well. I have a very bad back and my wife has a sensitive hip.

This mattress, The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush has gone such a great job of relieving our pain, we decided to keep it.

The Firm, individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of our spines and the comfortable 3" Talalay Latex upholstery has given us unfailing surface comfort.

This mattress will do the same for you.

A review on the Stearns and Foster Luxury Firm mattress for your readers.

George writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a review on the Stearns and Foster Luxury Firm mattress for your readers.

After getting this mattress I went online and found your blog. Now, I know why.

 

I paid over $4,000 for this mattress and it's just AWFUL.

It was comfortable, at first.

Now, it's so uncomfortable and already sinking in spots.

This mattress is only 1 1/2 years old.

I called the store, where I bought it to register a complaint.

They sent someone to inspect it, only to tell me there's nothing wrong with it.

STAY AWAY from S&F mattresses.

Thanks, George

 

Hi George,

For the sake of our readers, I'll share what you learned from our blog.

For those who have had S&F mattresses, in the past, the natural assumption is that they are what to buy now.

 

In 2013, Sealy and S&F were purchased by Tempurpedic.

As of January of 2014, everything made with a S&F label is upholstered with memory foam.

Despite all the hype to the contrary, memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.

Its sole purpose is to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

So over night, S&F went from being the Cadillac of the Industry to nothing more than expensive junk.

 

Also, the more you spend, the worse it gets. $4000 will get you more fluff...and a quicker death.

You, simply, don't need to spend that kind of money to get a great night's sleep.

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years, prior to them being sold to Tempurpedic.

Check out our website for the mattresses that we sell...all very long lasting.

Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress.

Lori writes:

 

Hi, Pete.

I hope all is well on your end.

Many years ago, I bought a Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress from you that I have loved.

It’s lived quite a long life, but needs to be replaced now. Can you recommend one just like it?

Just a bit about me. I’m 73 now, so pressure points need to be comfortable.

I’m 5’6”, have a bad back that’s killing me lately, weigh 180, most of which are in my stomach, hips and butt. Side sleeper 90%/back sleeper/10%.

I need a full-size mattress (sleep with 3 fur babies) with good edge support.

I sleep only on one side of it, and spend 4 or more hours with my elbow digging into the bed while on my side watching tv. Like the Sealy was, I need a bed that’s easy to turn or move around on – NO sinking or sagging. I’m like the old Princess who could feel a pea if it were under her mattress.

 

This is my last hurrah for buying a mattress. For health and financial reasons, I can’t ‘afford’ to make a mistake (not that anyone can, I know..)  So, I’m turning to you… What do you think I should do?

Any advice would be sooo appreciated.

Lori

 

Hi Lori,

Given your age and chronic back pain, I'm recommending a somewhat different direction.

For better spinal support to relieve your back pain, there's nothing better than a mattress with an individually pocketed coil system.

The upward support that contours to the shape of the body, which maintains the natural alignment of your spine, is ideal for relieving chronic back pain.

Add to that, a soft latex mattress topper and you'll have everything you need and want.

 

I'm recommending the Wolf Jessica Mattress.

The pocketed coils are made of heavy gauge, double tempered steel, for durability and longevity.

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

Add to that, a Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Topper.

For maximum surface comfort The Pure Vita Talalay is the Softest, which will take care of that

'Princess and the Pea' issue.

Given the age of your mattress, you'll need to replace the foundation, as well.

The Magniflex KD Foundation is extremely strong, and available in your choice of height and color.

You'll see the mattress price with that as one of the options on that mattress page.

A mattress for a large man, 5’10 200 lbs., with chronic back pain.

Jim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need your help on a mattress for a large man, 5’10 200 lbs., with chronic back pain.

I have back pain from L4/5 and S1 disc damage and various other injuries while in the military.

I'm replacing a mattress, that I bought from you many years ago. 

I would appreciate any recommendations you could share.

Many thanks, Jim

 

Hi Jim,

I'm happy to hear that your mattress has lasted so long. 

We specialize in mattresses that don't require frequent replacing...unlike most of today's mattresses.

The Old Fashioned Two-Sided Brolynn Mattress in Plush is my recommendation.

The individually pocketed coils, made of heavy double tempered steel, provide the firm, contouring upward support a damaged back needs to relieve your chronic pain.

The upholstery is made of natural plant based polyurethane foam...comfortable, but not too soft.

Sleep Number Mattress not working for a 450 pound woman.

Ginger writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am currently sleeping on a Sleep Number Mattress.  

To me, it feels like I am just dealing with it, like when I go camping.

It is NOT comfortable, as the salesman promised it would be.  

I'm a very large woman, weighing close to 450 pounds.

I have a frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and severe osteoarthritis. 

I sleep alone but I also have positional vertigo, so I sleep catty-corner so I never feel like I am falling.

This sleep number bed is certainly not working!  

I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Ginger

 

Hi Ginger,

Not only is a Sleep Number the wrong mattress for someone your size, it’s the wrong mattress for most people. An air mattress is like a waterbed, relying on displacement rather than providing real support.

 

You're going to need a mattress strong enough to support your weight and provide proper spinal support, which you're not getting with an air bag. And you'll also need surface comfort for your other issues that the memory foam that's on top of that air bag is also not providing.

It's a tall order and not something you'll get with any mattress.

This will require a combination of products.

First, a mattress firm enough and strong enough to hold you and provide the support your spine requires.

That mattress is the Wolf Adrian...a very firm mattress with heavy interlocking coils.

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper.

Pure Latex is and has been the most durable, most resilient upholstery material for the past 100 years.

Latex Foam is hypoallergenic.

I'm looking to replace an old Sealy Posturepedic Ivy Ridge Plush Mattress.

Nancy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking to replace an old Sealy Posturepedic Ivy Ridge Plush Mattress.

I know that Sealy doesn't make these anymore, now that Tempur-Pedic owns them.

From reading your blog posts, the Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress comes close.

Do I order this in plush or firm. My Ivy Ridge is called plush, but isn't very soft.

I like it that way and would like to stay with the same feel.

What do you recommend for a new box spring?

Thanks, Nancy

 

Hi Nancy,

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress is an excellent choice for similar quality.

Here is the link, showing specifications and prices.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

The “Plush” is the more comfortable.

And like your Ivy Ridge Plush, it’s not too soft.

The feel will be very much the same.

I'm sick and tired of buying mattress after mattress!

Ed writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm sick and tired of buying mattress after mattress! There are way too many bad mattresses out there!

So, I'm asking straight up, "What's the Best, Most Comfortable, Longest Lasting Mattress?".

My wife and I are a bit heavier than average sizes, but not overly so.

We need firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

And we want this mattress to last a whole lot longer than the mattresses they sell at stores.

I've had enough of the poor quality and lousy customer service.

I did some research and found that you have an excellent reputation for offering quality products and "amazing customer service", according to a number of reviews I've read.

We look forward to your recommendations!

Thanks, Ed

 

Hi Ed,

The best, most comfortable, supportive and longest lasting mattress is the same one we sleep on at home.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is also our most popular mattress.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices:

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

All of the components of this mattress are of the highest quality.

My wife and I exceed 200 lbs., each. Our mattress is several years old and still in like new condition.

Due to the high quality of the components used in this mattress, it is not as soft as it sounds.

"Comfort" is a subjective thing, with each person's idea of comfort being somewhat different.

 

About 10% of the people buying this mattress go on to order a soft latex topper to make it more comfortable.

I recommend waiting until after your new mattress arrives and you've taken the time to try get used to it.

After a few days, you can then decide if adding a latex topper is something you need.

The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Pure, Organic Latex Topper is hypoallergenic and the highest quality latex.

I've been a long time fan of your mattress blog.

Hi Pete,

I've been a long time fan of your mattress blog...been reading for years.

We need a new mattress and I've decided to go with the one you and your wife sleep on.

If the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is good enough for "The Expert", I'm sure it'll work well enough for my wife and I.

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

I went to a local mattress store to see what they had to say.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. 

The toxic chemical off gassing from all the memory foam hit me the moment I walked through the door.

The salesman was personable, but a true BS artist.

He went on about how great memory foam is and tried to sell me the most expensive mattress he had.

The experience was exactly as you've described in some of your blog posts.

 

Thank you for everything you do. My order will be coming over today.

Thanks, Joe

 

Hi Joe,

I couldn't have put it better, myself.

I'll keep an eye out for your order and get it processed right away.

As you may already know, the price you see is complete.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials.
