Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress for Back Pain Relief.

David writes:

Hi Pete,

Thank you for taking my email. I am currently in the market for a new mattress.

I currently have an Eastman House Island Firm and I hate it. My back pain is strong. Hip pain too.  

I am a stomach sleeper, 38, 230lbs, currently single. 

I have previously had the Simmons Beautyrest, which was not very good. 

Recently, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in London. I had zero pain. Nothing.

I am considering the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

I have had years of bad luck with mattresses. I have a few questions:

 

1.  Is ultra plush too soft for me?

2.  Do you think this is a good mattress for me?

3.  Can deliveries be on a Saturday?

4. Any other factors I should consider?

 

Thank you, David

 

Hi David,

Our personal situations are very similar.

I am over 200 lbs. with a very bad back, including herniated and bulging discs and degenerative disc disease.

My wife, who is equally as large, and I have had that mattress for the last 5 years.

I sleep and wake without back pain, and the mattress is still in like new condition.

So yes, this will work for you.

 

Due to the high quality and resiliency of the components, all of the mattresses in that line are firmer than they sound. So no, the ultra plush model is not too soft.

 

If you live in an urban or suburban area, Saturday delivery is probable.

The further away you live from a populated area, the less likely that becomes.

 

The foundation is available 9" or 5" high.

You'll want to measure what you have before deciding which foundation to get.

The mattress is 13.5" thick.

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

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

A Mattress for a Very Bad Back.

Sharon writes:

 

Good Morning,

I've had 2 spinal fusions at L4-S1. 

I still have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease throughout the whole spine.  

Bulging Disc C3-C8 in Neck, T11-T12 have had fractures.  

L2-L3 are ready for spinal fusion. I have L5 nerve damage on the left side, with the right side deteriorating.

 

I need a new mattress that will be good for my spine and I'm in bed 15-18 hours a day. 

I currently have a Linenspa 8" gel memory foam mattress that I purchased in 2017.   

 

I need a recommendation for a new mattress.  

 

I'm 4'11, 186 in weight and generally on my left side for most of the day. 

I can only sleep on my sides or back. What do you recommend?  

I hope I gave you all the information needed, so you could make a recommendation.

I sincerely appreciate the advice and direction.

Sharon

 

Hi Sharon,

Due to your size and the amount of time you spend in bed, you’re going to need a strong, durable mattress.

Due to your back problems, you’ll need an individually pocketed coil unit.

And, if you want it to last, the mattress must have no memory foam in it.

I’m recommending is the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

Of their 4 models, the ultra plush is the most comfortable...without being too soft.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses for Large People with Back Pain.

Ellen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in the market to replace my ancient queen mattress/box springs but am dealing with a couple of issues:

1) Husband and I are around 200 lbs but are around the same height. We are both side sleepers.

2) I have back pain due to DDD, degenerated disc disease.

I suppose I am looking for something of quality, (resistant to sagging), that will address the pain issues.

Neither of us likes a soft mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses look like good, but which model?

Thanks, Ellen

 

Hi Ellen,

One of our most frequently recommendations will also suit the two of you...as it has, the two of us.

My wife and I are, each, over 200 lbs.

I, too, have DDD along with herniated and bulging discs.

I sleep and wake with no back pain.

 

Our Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress is more than 9.5 years old and still in like new condition.

The quality of these mattresses is very high and all are firmer than their firmness designation.

We have the Ultra Plush, which is more like a regular plush.

I suggest either the Luxury Firm or Plush models. The "Firm" model is like the floor.

Firm Mattress Support for my Back Pain with Soft Sleeping Surface.

Gabe writes:

Hi Peter,

I ran across your website/blog and became very interested in what advice you can offer in a mattress.  

My wife and I are opposite when it comes to preference on mattress firmness.  

I prefer as firm as can be, and she prefers a soft bed.  Our current mattress is a traditional coil spring, firm. 

This is really helpful with my lower back issues (degenerated discs), but has caused her to not sleep well for the past couple of years due to the firmness.  We are both average build.  

We are researching mattresses and even popped in a local store to try out some mattresses.  

I forget the name of the one recommended, but it was the 2nd most firm mattress they offered. 

Since it has the memory foam, it did not feel too firm for my wife.  

I noticed a comment from someone saying that memory foam made them feel hot, and caused all sorts of additional back/knee/shoulder issues.  

What would you recommend to my wife and me, considering the information I have provided?  

What do you have available for us to buy?

Thanks, Gabe

 

Hi Gabe,

You don't need a new mattress. 

You only need to make your wife comfortable on the mattress you already own.

Memory foam is THEE thing to avoid in order to make a successful purchase.

Any mattress upholstered with memory foam will wear quickly, sleep hot, and off gas the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made.

 

Add a soft latex topper to the mattress you have and your wife will have an extraordinarily comfortable sleeping surface without sacrificing the underlying firm support that your back requires.

Latex is available in a wide variety of comfort levels and qualities.

We only carry the highest quality latex on the market. 

Cheap latex is made in China, where they add fillers that reduce the price and the longevity

 

I recommend the Suite Sleep 3" Soft All-Natural Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

A Mattress for Back Pain, Herniated Discs.

Hello,

I saw your ad on Facebook. 

We are currently in the market for a new king size mattress. 

Could you recommend the best in your opinion. 

We both have lower back pain and are overweight. 

My husband has bad back issues, deteriorated disks.  

Would prefer something firm but comfortable! Pillowtop?
Thank you. 

 

Hello,

The last thing you want is a pillow top mattress.

The pillow top is the first part to wear and once that goes, it won’t matter how good the rest of the mattress is. 

Also, you’ll need to avoid mattresses upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to wear quickly.

I have a few excellent options for you.

 

Consider a firm mattress, to which you’ll add a removable pillow top.

This allows you to replace the topper in a few or so years and still have a perfectly good mattress that won’t need replacing.

 

Adding a latex mattress topper, (the aforementioned removable pillow top), does more than just add surface comfort.

Latex is extremely resilient and will absorb much of your body weight. In turn, the mattress lasts longer.

 

The mattresses I’m recommending use an individually pocketed coil unit.

The coils move independently from one another and maintain the natural alignment of your spine.

This is the best type of support for relieving chronic back pain due to disc problems.

The coils are made of heavy gauge double tempered steel, which is important for durability under large people.

The upholstery in the mattresses is Natural Talalay Latex.

There is no memory foam in any of The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses

My wife and I have the Ultra Plush model and a Suite Sleep Latex Topper.

Never:

Use an old box spring/foundation with any new mattress. 

Doing so voids the warranty of the mattress.

https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations_and_bases.html#/

 

Always:

Use a waterproof mattress protector. 

Your new mattress will last longer if kept clean and dry.

Sleep Number Mattress Failed a Very Large Woman.

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 alone.

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 Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm...a very firm mattress with heavy gauge 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 know you have the right mattress for us!

Gwen writes:

Hi Pete,

I know you have the right mattress for us!  

My husband and I need your advice, badly!

We are moving from a queen size bed to a King. This bed is shrinking like our clothes.

It seems like even when we are in hotels we sleep better in the larger beds.

My husband likes to sleep right next to me. With our weights, it is like a SINK HOLE in the middle of our bed.

Ok, maybe it is just time for a new bed. 

I have bought 3 sets of mattresses in the last 10 years and have not been happy with any of them. 

I am hoping you can help.

I am 5'3 and 250 lbs. and my husband is 5'6 and 200 lbs. 

I have a deteriorating disc and arthritis in neck and back.

My husband, due to a terrible car accident, has had numerous surgeries for neck, back, head, and leg injuries.

We like plush but need support and it is important that we stay cool at night. 

Thanks, Gwen

 

Hi Gwen,

I love the faith you have and you can bet your buttons I have the right mattress for you.

The dissatisfaction you've had with the 3 sets you bought over the last 10 years is no coincidence.

The overall quality of mattresses, across the board, has reduced dramatically in the last 10-15 years. 

At average weight, the most you can expect is 5 years from most of them.

You have multiple issues that cannot be addressed with a single mattress. 

A firm, supportive mattress and a soft latex topper is what's called for here.

 

Latex has been the most comfortable and most resilient upholstery material available since the 1920s.

And, of all the foams used, it is cool to sleep on.

Due to the severe nature of your back problems and your body weights, I do not recommend an all foam mattress...not even an all latex mattress.

While latex pushes back better than other foams, it doesn't push back as strongly as a firm innerspring. 

This pushback support will be necessary to keep your back problems from worsening.

Together, the firm innerspring and soft latex topper will give you everything you want and need.

Together, you should get every bit of 10 years of comfortable sleep...perhaps more.

 

The individually pocketed coils will provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of your spine. This is what will relieve your back pain.

The latex topper will provide surface comfort like nothing else you've tried...relieving all the pressure points and relaxing the muscles so that you can sleep more deeply.

The latex topper will also extend the life of the mattress, as it absorbs much of your body weight.

The Mattress: Natura of Canada Greenspring Plush. 

The Topper: Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Dunlop Latex.

Here are links for both. You can order on-line.

A topper for a too firm mattress.

Jonathan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m 38, 170 pounds, and someone who has sore muscles often from going to the gym. 

In the last year or so I’ve been dealing with DDD/spinal stenosis and sciatica. 

I got an Ultra Firm mattress thinking that sleeping on the hardest mattress I could find would help.

I sleep on my back or sides, and tend to toss and turn a bit. 

I wake up with a very stiff back, and I’m wondering if the mattress is too firm.

I’m looking for a topper that you think might help alleviate my symptoms.

Thank you so much for this service!

Jonathan 

 

Hi Jonathan,

A mattress topper will help with the pressure points, which is why you’re tossing.

The firm mattress was a good choice for support, but you also need a measure of surface comfort. 

A soft mattress topper will provide that without sacrificing the underlying firm support.

Given your size and age, one of the Magniflex Mattress Toppers will do a nice job.
