Simmons Beautyrest Carmel Glen Firm Mattress.

Vlad writes:

Hi Pete,

We have been using Simmons Beautyrest Carmel Glen Firm Mattress for many years. 

Now, we are looking for King size firm mattress similar to our existing one.  

It looks like Simmons is not in the market anymore.

Can you give us any brand/model recommendations for the replacement?

Thank you in advance,

 

Sincerely,

Vlad

 

Hi Vlad,

Simmons mattresses are still being made, but not owned by Simmons any longer.

The quality of today’s Simmons mattresses is nowhere near as good as the ones they made many years ago. What made a Simmons so good is the individually pocketed coils with a combination of poly and latex foams.

You can still get that same quality from the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

Those same components are used in these mattresses.

My wife and I have been sleeping on their Ultra Plush model for more than 9 years.

It’s still in great condition with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

These are very high quality mattresses and your best choice if you’re looking for a firm mattress. 

Even the ultra plush model is quite firm…not as soft as it sounds.

 

White glove delivery is free and takes about 6 weeks to arrive.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Holiday Inn Sealy Posturepedic Sleep Soundly Plush Mattress.

Tracey writes:

Hi Pete,

We stayed at a Holiday Inn and really liked the Sealy Posturepedic Sleep Soundly Plush Mattress.  

We saw online that this Sealy mattress has been discontinued, and that the Wolf mattress may be the one that is most comparable?  

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide. 

Thank you, Tracey 

 

Good Morning Tracey,

The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress is what we recommend to mimic the hotel mattress experience at home.

Old Stearns & Foster Knightsbridge Mattress.

Christine writes:

 

Hey there,

We have spoken in the past about an Old Stearns & Foster Knightsbridge Mattress. 

I found one & should have gotten it but didn't because it was a king.  I wanted a queen.  

I know they are older than dirt - mine got wet but I want to find another.

 

I don't know if the Knightsbridge was med, soft, firm etc. All I know is it was double sided pillow top perfection.

 

I found an old Stearns & Foster "Derby". (Another spare room situation & used 3 times) It's not a pillow top but it does have the "old" S&F label that I'm looking for. You know - the old one built back before it was taken over and ruined by Serta or whomever owns it now.

 

Can you tell me how the derby compares to the Knightsbridge of olde? I know it's a stretch but you were so up on the Knightsbridge I hope you'll know about the derby too.  I've looked online and can't find squat.  You are my last resort.

 

Again - Thank you for your time

Christine

 

Hi Christine,

S&F graded their mattresses alphabetically.

You can tell the grade by the first letter of the model name.

“A” was the lowest. 

Each market place, (any given city and vicinity, for instance), will have gotten a different model name for each store in that area for the same mattress. 

So, any S&F with a model name beginning with “K” will be exactly the same as the Knightsbridge”.

 

And while an old D grade may not have been as substantially made as a K grade, that 20+ year old D grade S&F was much better made than most mattresses made today.

How much mileage is left, after all these years, depends upon the use it got.

Having only been used as a guest bed is your best scenario.

 

Don’t forget a waterproof mattress “encasement”.

You never know what may be living in it.

A waterproof encasement is the best way to isolate yourself from that.

 

You won’t want to go through the hassle of taking a 6 sided encasement off and putting it back on for the sake of laundering, so you’ll want a 5 sided mattress protector that goes on and off easily, as well.

Here’s a link to the ones we carry…organic cotton.

A mattress as good as the Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree Latex Mattress.

Mark writes:

 

Good morning, Pete,

I am wanting to buy a mattress as good as or comparable to the one my friend has had since 10/2008.

This mattress is amazingly comfy, even today…15 years after it was made.

Can you advise where I can buy this quality and craftsmanship of latex mattress?

It's the Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree Crocker Grove Latex Mattress.

Thanks, Mark

 

Hi Mark,

In 2008, Sealy was using synthetic latex, made in a plant in PA that Sealy owned.

There’s nothing wrong with synthetic latex. It’s a molecule clone of natural latex.

Their latex mattresses were marketed under the Sealy and Stearns and Foster labels.

(Sealy had acquired S&F quite some years earlier.)

The people who owned Sealy, sold their company to Tempurpedic in 2013.

As of January 2014, everything made using the Sealy and S&F labels also included memory foam…even their latex lines.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer for many years, up to that point.

When Tempurpedic bought Sealy/S&F, we stopped selling both brands.

While shopping at the industry trade shows, we found the Natura of Canada line of Latex Mattresses.

These mattresses exceed the specifications of the Sealy latex mattress you’re looking to buy.

The core is Pure Dunlop and the comfort layers are Blended Talalay Latex. (70% synthetic/30% Natural) 

Of them, the Blossom Plush is the most popular model.

Click on this link to view the line and then click on each model to view specifications and prices.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-mattresses/natura-latex-level-2-mattress/

 

We also have available, from Suite Sleep, a line of 100% Pure, Organic Latex Mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/suite-sleep-latex-mattress/

The Natura Mattresses comes with White Glove Delivery

The Suite Sleep Mattresses ship via FedEx,

Either way, Delivery is Free 

 

Thanks, Pete

Sealy Posturepedic Emerald Ultra Plush Mattress from 1995.

Connie writes:

Hi Pete, 

I own a Sealy Posturepedic Emerald Ultra Plush Mattress from1995.

And while it still is quite comfortable, I would like to buy a new/similar set.

Can you advise what might be comparable?

Many thanks, Connie 

Hi Connie,

We had been a Sealy dealer, back then.

Sealy switched from making two sided, flippable mattresses, to be sided mattresses in 2002. 

You have one of the last great mattresses Sealy ever made.

Tempur-Pedic bought Sealy in 2013 and everything changed, and not for the better.

 

The coil system in your mattress was the very best innovative designs in the history of mattresses….which can’t be found anywhere today.

Today’s Sealy mattresses are upholstered with memory foam…thee absolute worst upholstery material ever invented from a consumer point of view.

It’s specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing and not under the terms of the warranty. It’s positively diabolical.

And, as if that weren’t bad enough, it off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made, creating a health hazard to every breathing being in the home.

But wait, that’s not all! It sleeps hot. 

 

So, you see, getting an equivalent is impossible....and nothing even close from Sealy.

Since your mattress is still comfortable, I suggest that you don't need to replace it.

Because you think "it's time" isn't a good reason.

 

If you insist upon buying a new mattress that provides excellent support, comfort, and will last as long as your old Posturepedic, then I recommend that which my wife and I sleep on at home.

Our Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is more than 9 years old and still like new.

It is one of the best mattresses on the market today.

Here's a link to that mattress, showing specifications and pricing:

After almost a year of shopping, I was looking into purchasing one of these mattresses.

Shew writes:

 

Hi Pete,

After almost a year of shopping, I was looking into purchasing one of these mattresses. 

Wolf Jessica one sided or the Brandy-Lynn two sided, which don't seem to be available.

 

I was looking into a firm mattress with a latex topper.

Suite Sleep Pure Organic Latex Mattress Toppers. (Looking for 2" soft)

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

 

Can you recommend an available mattress?

Thanks, Shew

 

Good Morning Shew,

Both of those mattresses were discontinued only a couple of months ago.

Our one remaining Wolf mattress, the Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop, will have the feel of a firm mattress with a topper, and still be in a lower price range.

We’ve sold many of them and all are enjoying it.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress-2/tulah-luxury-plush-eurotop/

We also carry a couple of high end lines, which also use an individually pocketed coil system, but are upholstered with latex. These are extremely long lasting mattresses.

My wife and I have been sleeping on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress for the past 9+ years…still like new with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

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

The other high-end line is the Williams Mattress Company.

These, too, use an individually pocketed coil with organic latex.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/the-williams-mattress-co/

Latex is the most resilient upholstery material available.

It’s comfortable, but you don’t sink into it. It holds you up.

The feel it creates is unique and best described as Floating.

 

All of these mattresses are firmer than they sound. 

So, you won’t be sacrificing the firm feel you’re looking for.

 

The Wolf mattress ships via FedEx.

The Natura and Williams mattresses come with white glove delivery.

Delivery is Free

 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Felicity Plush Pillowtop Hotel Mattress.

Fiona writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I recently stayed at a hotel that had a Simmons Beautyrest Hospitality Felicity Plush Pillowtop Mattress.  

I woke up for the first time with way less shoulder and lower back pain.  

After doing some research I found a blog from your website suggesting:

The Wolf Brolynn Plush, Old Fashioned Two-Sided mattress. 

Is that mattress still available?  I didn’t see it on your website. 

Thanks, Fiona

Hi Fiona,

I’m sorry to say that the Brolynn Mattress has been discontinued.

The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress is the closest to that hotel mattress, providing the same type of support and surface comfort.

Sealy Posturepedic Palatial Crest CSS Plush Mattress.

 

Kathy writes:

 

Good evening, Peter.

I have a long shot query.  

Many years ago, I stayed at a hotel and loved the mattress.  

I was told it was a Sealy Posturepedic Palatial Crest CSS Plush Mattress.  

A few years later, I was told the name changed and was then called an E-level Posturepedic in Plush.

I've just gotten to the point I need to pull the trigger - and finally have the money to purchase a new one.

Is this still made?  Where can I get one?  

Your help is most appreciated.

Cheers, Kathy

 

Hi Kathy,

I’m sorry. You can’t buy that mattress. It’s no longer being made.

Sealy is now owned by Tempur-Pedic.

Everything they make is now upholstered with memory foam.

Nothing they make, today, is worth buying. They don't last for more than a couple/few years and they off gas the toxic chemicals from which their memory foam is made.

 

Thanks, Pete

We need to replace a Stearns and Foster Blisswood Mattress.

Wendy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We currently have and need to replace a Stearns and Foster Blisswood Mattress, bought from you back in 2012.

And we have one of your Plush Latex Topper Mattress Topper - 2" Talalay 100% Natural  (purchased in 2013).

My husband is over 300 pounds and now says that the mattress makes his back hurt.  

I am 200 pounds and have a herniated disc in lower back and bursitis in my hips.  

I used to sleep well on this set-up but now pain in my hips wakes me up at night.

My questions are:  

Do we need a new mattress or a new topper?  Dunlop latex instead of Talalay?  Thicker latex?

Thanks for your help, Wendy

 

Hi Wendy,

Given your sizes, you got quite a lot of years out of that sleep system.

However, it may very well be that you don't need anything, as yet.

There is a trick that often works, which may put off the need for a new mattress for a number of years.

Remove your topper...flip your mattress...flip and reapply your topper.

 

The underside of the mattress is firmer...and flipping it may be all you need to do.

Try it that way for the next couple of nights, and let me know how you're doing.

 

If you do, in fact, need a sleep system, I suggest the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Luxury Firm.

And a Sleep and Beyond Latex Topper to go along with it.

Hello Pete,

I am in search of a Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Windy Gap Ultra Plush Pillow top Mattress. 

Would you happen to have this available (king sized). 

If not, can you recommend a similar mattress ?

Hi Suzette,

That mattress is long gone.

In fact, Sealy isn’t even Sealy anymore. They’re owned by Tempurpedic.

Since being sold to Tempurpedic, the overall quality is greatly diminished.
