Purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress.

Jenna writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We are seriously considering purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress from your website.  

My apologies, but is there a difference between coil/hybrid latex and innerspring?  

I was browsing your categories and I got a little confused.  

We’ve had a memory foam for only three years now, and have come to the realization that it’s not for us.  

If only we had seen your company before our purchase!  :)

We’ve looked over your products, and was curious what your advice would be regarding our next step.  

My husband is 340 pounds and about 6 foot. He’s a firefighter and is usually achy after working his shifts.   

I’m approx. 150 and use to be an ER nurse, so I also fall into the category of “achy” most of the time as well.  

We are looking for something that provides good solid support.

Thanks very much for any help and advice you can provide.

Take care, Jenna

 

Hi Jenna,

There are 3 different types of foams used in the mattress industry.

Memory foam has proven to be the worst, over its 20-year history.

Polyurethane foam was the standard foam used since the 1970s.

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

 

The foams used in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are:

Natural plant-based polyurethane...'an inch of soft poly foam in the quilted cover and an inch of firm poly foam under the latex', just above the coils.

Natural Talalay Latex is in between the two poly foam layers.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

 

 

There is no memory foam in this mattress.

All mattresses are upholstered with one or more types of foam.

The only one to avoid is memory foam. It’s the only one that is poor quality.

 

For the combination of long-lasting support under a 340 Lb man and providing long lasting surface comfort for a 150 lb. woman, I recommend going with the "Firm" model....Shown here:

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper...shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom.

The latex topper arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free

 

 

Thanks, Pete

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress sounds impressive.

Jack writes:

Hi Pete,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress sounds impressive. 

With such a high coil count and latex, does it really fully rebound each day?

I've never had a mattress with latex in it. 

Thanks, Jack

 

Hello Jack,

My wife an I have been sleeping on that same mattress for the last 9 years.

Our mattress has remained in like new condition after all that time, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. 

The coils are strong, made of double tempered steel, and the Talalay Latex upholstery is extremely resilient.

In short, YES! It fully rebounds each day...for many years. 

A product that wears well over long periods of time has VALUE!

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress / Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Pillowtop.

Hello Pete,

Is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress a close match to the Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop?

I am a bigger guy and was wondering if your Ultra Plush would hold up well under my weight?

Thanks for your assistance, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are far superior to anything Simmons makes….ever since Simmons was sold to an investment group.

(That same investment group also bought Serta).

Simmons uses raw steel to make their coils…not tempered at all.

The steel used to make the coils in the Natura Greenspring is double tempered and the coil count is higher.

The quality of the upholstery is also more resilient than what Simmons uses. 

Natura uses Natural Latex vs. the Memory Foam used by Simmons.

 

The first thing to show wear is a pillowtop, which is why we offer no pillowtop mattresses.

My wife and I sleep on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

We are, each, over 200 lbs. our mattress is 9 years old and still in like new condition.

Mattress motion transfer is causing back pain. Herniated discs.

Helen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a problem!

We recently got a new old two sided mattress from my aunt.

It was her spare room bed set which has only been used a few times, so it's basically brand new.

I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back.

Every little bit of motion transfer is causing back pain.

I've never had such a problem before!

Even the tiniest movement of my husband's foot causes the whole mattress to shake!

We are using the same bed frame we had before, so it is 100% the mattress.

What do you recommend?

Thanks, Helen

 

Hi Helen,

That must be a very old mattress....using a Bonnell interlocking coil system.

Only a mattress using an individually pocketed coil unit is what will fix your problem.

With all coils moving independently from all of the others, maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

The main benefit is back pain relief.

The side benefit is motion transfer reduction....not feeling each other's movements.

Nothing does a better job of motion reduction than this type of coil system.

I recommend one of our Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattresses, all using an individually pocketed coil unit.

A mattress with strong coils and no memory foam that will relieve back pain.

Lisa writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a mattress with strong coils and no memory foam that will relieve back pain.

I weigh 150 and my husband is 180.

What would you recommend?

Thanks, Lisa

 

Hi Lisa,

You might be pleased to know that nothing we carry has memory foam in it.

The mattress I’m recommending is:

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Plush

Shown here:

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

The individually pocketed coils contour to the shape of the body and spine, which relieves disc related back problems. The heavy gauge, double tempered steel ensures durability that lasts for years.

The upholstery is natural plant based polyurethane foam.

If you get it in “Plush”, you’ll have all the support and comfort you need.

Thanks, Pete

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.

Click on this link to view specifications and pricing.

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.

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

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.

My husband and I are very big people in need of a durable mattress.

Eva writes:

 

Hello Pete,

My husband and I are very big people in need of a durable mattress.

We currently have a queen size Simmons Beautyrest mattress set. It didn't last a year.

What do you recommend that is firm enough to hold us, but also comfortable?

Thank you, Eva

 

Hi Eva,

Over the decades, the Bonnell Coil system...large, heavy coils all tied together has always been the strongest and most durable type of mattress.

While normally hard to find, we have such a mattress available.

The Wolf Adrian Mattress is one of the very few mattresses, like that, available today.

Click on this link to view specifications and pricing:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress/adrian/

 

When you buy a mattress that is comfortable, it's the comfort layers that wear quickly under heavy weight.

That causes you to need a new mattress frequently...especially if the upholstery material is memory foam.

The most durable upholstery material is pure latex foam....and has been for the last 100 years.

The Adrian Mattress provides the firm support you need.

Add to that a Suite Sleep 2" Medium Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper for surface comfort.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/suite-organic-latex-topper.html

 

In several years from now, all you'll have to replace is the topper...and NOT the mattress.

 

The Magniflex KD Foundation you'll see priced with the Adrian Mattress is also extremely strong.

That will withstand a total weight of 1200 lbs.

I recommend getting that with the mattress.

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.

Micro coil mattress topper.

Laura writes:

 

Hello, Pete

I'm on the search to purchase a pocketed micro coil topper to replace the one in my queen mattress 

(it's a European Sleepworks and it's otherwise still perfect after 10 years).

I've searched high and low online for this component, but can't find anyone who sells just this micro coil layer by itself. 

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Laura

 

Hi Laura,
Those micro-coils have been used in a number of mattresses.

However, I’d never heard of them being sold separately....until doing a google search.

A Long-Lasting Mattress to Relieve Chronic Back Pain.

A Long-Lasting Mattress to Relieve Chronic Back Pain

 

There is no better support for relieving chronic back pain than an Individually Pocketed Coil Mattress.

The coils move independently from one another.

Unlike foam or air mattresses, the pushback support keeps your spine in its proper, natural alignment.

 

Most of today's innerspring mattress use this type of coil system.

Unfortunately, almost all of them are also using memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam allows your body to sink, which throws off your spine's natural alignment, which then negates the benefits of the individually pocketed coil support.

 

The key to any successful mattress purchase is to avoid mattresses upholstered with memory foam.

A poor-quality upholstery material, memory foam also off gasses the toxic chemicals for which it's made.

 

Here are links to our Wolf mattresses using an Individually Pocketed Coil and upholstered with Natural, Plant Based Polyurethane Foam. There is NO Memory Foam in these, nor in any products show on our website.

Wolf is a long-respected mattress manufacturer, established in 1873.
