Best Buy...Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Mattress and EverEden Latex Topper

Liz writes:

Hi Pete,

I’d like a new mattress and prefer firmer than soft. 

I currently have a Simmons Beautyrest "do not disturb" mattress.

It is older and can be flipped. They don’t make that type anymore. 

I really like this mattress especially when compared with others I have tried in the shops recently. 

Can you recommend a comparable mattress to this model?

I'm more interested in feel and function rather than name. 

The one I have was a great value and the best buy at the time.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. 

Thanks, Liz

 

Hi Liz,

An excellent value and a best buy, today, is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove in Extra Firm or Luxury Firm.

This will provide the same support you've been used to and is on the firm side.

It's the individually pocketed coils that contour to the shape of your body, which maintains the natural alignment of your spine...that you like so much.

Today's Simmons Beautyrests provide the same support.

The big difference between then and now, is the upholstery materials.

Today's Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam. Your older two sided mattress has no memory foam.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. And, it sleeps hot.

So, along with that new Gibson Grove Beautyrest mattress, you'll need to add an EverEden 2" Latex Topper .

The most popular, are the Soft toppers, which I suggest you consider since the mattress is firm and you're 20 years older than the last time you bought.

However, the Vytex Dunlop Latex Toppers are available in Medium, as well.

And while the Vytex Dunlop comes in the same 2 choices of comfort levels, Dunlop is a more dense material and does not have as supple a feel as the Talalay Latex Toppers.

Together, you will enjoy longevity that is far greater than what today's Beautyrest mattress alone will provide.

A Firm Two Sided Mattress, Delivered to British Columbia Canada.

Thomas writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I'm looking to purchase a twin two sided, firm mattress. However, I wanted to clarify regarding shipping rates to Canada. 

What would it cost to ship a $500 mattress to British Columbia, Canada?

Thank you, Thomas.

 

 

Hi Thomas,

While I appreciate your interest, you might as well forget about buying any mattress made in the US for delivery into Canada.

Shipping cost is but the least of the expense you'll encounter.

 

You can add:

Entry Fees,

Your Sales Tax.

Tariffs

 

There is, however, a workable solution.

I can ship the mattress to a UPS store at the US border town of your choice.

You can pick it up there, put it in the backseat of your car, then lie to the border guards when they ask you if you have anything to declare.

Personally, I like using the phrase, "Live Free or Die", when they ask me that question.

 

If you do manage to work that out with a US delivery address, here is the link to the two sided Tulah firm.

Firmest Two Sided Flippable Mattress.

Candace writes:

 

Hello Peter,

I am interested in purchasing a mattress, but am confused about the latex topper.  

Is the topper something that may be added later if it is determined the mattress is too firm?  

Or is the topper permanently attached during mattress construction?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Candace

 

Hi Candace,

We often recommend a latex topper for new mattresses that have memory foam in them.

Memory foam is a very poor performing upholstery material and the latex topper will prevent the mattress from premature wear.

 

We carry many mattresses that have no memory foam in them.

Those would only require a latex topper to soften the surface and not for the added longevity.

 

So, the answer to your question would depend on which mattress you’re considering buying.

The latex topper lays on top and is not permanently attached.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

I want the firmest flippable mattress possible. I think that’s the Tulah Firm.   

Then, if it’s too firm, I could purchase topper later?  

Thanks, Candace

 

Hi Candace,

The factory has temporarily placed the Tulah Firm Mattress on hold, as they are having trouble packing it for shipping.

I can put you on the waiting list.

However, you might consider their Duo Comfort Two Sided model. 

It’s firm on one side and plush up the other...eliminating the need for a latex topper.

Two Sided Mattress for Heavy People.

Paul writes:

Hi Pete,

We are in the market for a new mattress.

We do not like memory foam, and have already wasted too much money following that hyped product.

My wife is particularly interested in a two sided mattress, that she can flip.

We are both on the heavy side...weighing 250 and 220. We both like a firm mattress.

What would you recommend for us?

Thanks, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

This first link is to the two sided mattresses.

The Tulah Firm model is the firmest of them, using the same coil unit that was commonly used 40 years ago.

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

Wolf Double Sided Flippable Mattresses | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com Old Fashioned made Two Sided Mattress that you can flip. Strong coil unit and NO Memory Foam. Durable for Plus Sized People. Works with Adjustable Bed Bases.

The coil unit and the polyurethane foam upholstery is what was used 40 years ago.

However, there is a better choice, especially considering the weight it has to support.

 

This next link is for the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.

Their Firm model is quite firm, with a much higher coil count...also containing some polyurethane foam, but also containing latex.

Latex foam rubber was introduced in the 1920s and has been, to this day, thee best upholstery material available.

My wife and I, each about 225 lbs. have the Ultra Plush model.

We’ve had it for 3 years now, and it is still in like new condition.

Stearns and Foster Double Sided Pillowtop Mattress.

John writes:

 

Hello Pete,

Can you help me?

We have a Stearns and Foster double sided pillowtop medium firm queen mattress. 

We know they no longer are in existence, sorry to say, as it is a great mattress. 

We have another bedroom that we want to fit with this same mattress.

Can you tell us where and who might be making a similar mattress today?

Thank you, John

 

Hi John,

The last of the great Stearns and Foster mattresses.

I had one. The Knightsbridge, was the model name.

 

I can help you. I can save you from wasting your time.

Nothing like that exists.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

 

Hi Pete,

That was not the answer I wanted to hear, but thank you for your help in saving my time.

Is there anything near a second best or what would you say is the best available today.

 

We have a Simmons Beautyrest in that room now, the one that they claim you can drop a bowling ball on and not spill a glass of water, LOL. 

That was not why we bought it, but we did not expect the comfort level to drop as fast as it has. A sag developed. 

It was a firm, which we really didn't want, but felt the firmer model would be stronger, so it would hold up longer....WRONG.

 

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

John

 

Good Morning John,

You have stepped out of, what can only be described as, a time warp.

That old S&F mattress was made at a time when manufacturers competed with one another to make a quality product.

Those days no longer exists...and haven't for quite some time.

Your old S&F mattress was one of the last great mattresses made by "The Cadillac of the Industry".

Today, S&F is nothing more than expensive junk.

 

S&F is not alone in this. All of the name brands have been sold...Sealy and S&F were purchased by Tempurpedic in 1013.

Simmons and Serta were bought by the same investment group.

All have loaded their mattresses with memory foam.

Memory foam is used for the express purpose of causing a mattress to need frequent replacing.

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

Besides being a lousy product in terms of performance, it's also a health hazard...off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

(Adding injury to insult).

 

Your mistake was in assuming that a new mattress would be as good as your old one.

We used to be a Sealy/S&F retailer...exclusively. We dropped both lines when Tempurpedic bought them and turned them into junk mattresses.

We spent a good amount of time and effort at the trade shows, looking for high quality alternatives.

Over the years, we home tested a number of different mattresses...with varying results.

The one we have now, we like very much. It's 3 years old, now, and still like new....with each of us in the 225 lb. range.

I have lots of disc related back problems and my wife commonly suffers with hip pain.

For these last three years, our pains have been relieved, thanks to this mattress....The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

 

There are 4 choices of comfort in that line, with the ultra plush model providing the greatest degree of surface comfort.

All 4 provide the same excellent, firm support.

Here is a link to that line of mattresses:

Would I need a Latex Topper with the Wolf Brolynn Plush mattress?

Hi Marcey,

Many mattresses need a latex topper for the sake of longevity.

The Wolf Brolynn mattress does not.

However, you can add a latex topper if you're looking for a more luxurious surface feel.

Here is a link to our "Pure, All Natural" latex toppers.

For long term relief of chronic neck pain, there's nothing better than finely chopped latex.

The small pieces of latex allows you to manipulate them to fit around your head and neck any way you want.

I use one at home. It does a great job of relieving my pain, caused by the arthritis on the left side of my neck.

We recommended and sold many of these pillows...all with similar results.

That would be the 2nd pillow on this next link, called Talalay/Down, made by Pure Bliss.

A Comparable Mattress to My Sealy Posturepedic Crown Jewel.

Wanda writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a Sealy Posturepedic Crown Jewel full size mattress, that I love. 

It was fine for one person, but now there are two.  

I would like a comparable mattress in a queen size. What would you recommend?  

I weigh 115 lbs and he weighs about 150.  We are both side sleepers.

Thanks, Wanda

 

 

Hi Wanda,

Sealy has since been sold to Tempurpedic.

Everything they make, today, is loaded with memory foam....an upholstery material that isn't in the Sealy Posturepedic mattress you have now.

Memory foam is used to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Besides being a lousy product, in terms of quality and longevity, it is also a health hazard...off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

 

In order to get something similar to what you have, you have to look elsewhere...NOT Sealy.

Here is a link to two sided, old fashioned made mattresses...all considerably better than anything Sealy makes...containing NO Memory Foam.

Sealy Posturepedic Hotel Mattress.

Don writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm staying at a hotel that uses a Sealy Posturepedic mattress.

For the first time, in a long time, my back doesn't hurt.

Where can I get a mattress like this one?

Do you have anything like it?

Thanks, Don

 

Hi Don, 

That hotel Sealy Posturepedic mattress is not available at retail.

Today's Sealy Posturepedics are all loaded with memory foam....designed to need frequent relacing.

You are sleeping on a mattress made for hotels, which has almost no memory foam in it.

You may be able to buy it directly through the hotel, (with the better specs and almost no memory foam).

I encountered this discrepancy a short time ago.

I presented the specifications to the factory, in hopes of getting them to make it for me.

They wouldn’t do it.

Send me the specifications of the one sold by hotel...just to confirm.

 

The mattress that we sell, to those looking for something like that Sealy, is an 

old fashioned, two sided mattress that has in it,  the same type of upholstery material used in that Sealy Posturepedic.

Here’s a link to those mattresses:

A Two Sided Mattress with No Memory Foam.

Ingrid writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a mattress with no memory foam in it.

We have been very unhappy with the ones we've recently purchased.

All have memory foam in them.

The salespeople say it's good, but it isn't.

I'd love to find a two sided mattress, like the one we used to have.

I'll need a new foundation for it, as well.

This lousy bed, we now have, is going back.

We need to keep the price around $1000 in queen size.

Thanks, Ingrid

 

 

Hi Ingrid,

We carry a very nice, old fashioned two sided mattress, that contains no memory foam.

It has an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the shape of the body, and maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

The upholstery is certified chemical free polyurethane foam.

 

The Brooklyn Plush...is more a medium plush...not real soft.

And, there is a 

Each are the same price...$699.99 for the Queen Size Mattress.

Both provide excellent support and comfort.

These mattresses are shrink wrapped, rolled, boxed and shipped via FedEx.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

As far as a foundation is concerned, the Best Buy is at Costco or Sams Club.

Their Sealy and Serta boxsprings are very firm with no moving parts to wear out.

They will cost you about $100 in Queen...and are completely assembled.

 

Through us, you have a couple of options.

“The Basic Black Platform Bed”, not needing a frame, is the most reasonably priced.

Two Sided Brooklyn Plush Mattress on a Scandinavian Foundation.

June writes:

 

Dear The Mattress Expert,

We have Scandinavian Bed which has slats (opening of about 2") on the foundation frame.  

Does your mattress with 8" coil, Brooklyn Plush Queen size, fit on our foundation frame?  

Or do we need to get sturdier foundation?

And, your two sided mattress can be flipped to the other side, right?  

Does your mattress sag over the years?

Thanks, June

 

Hi June,

As long as the sizes are correct, there’s no reason it wouldn’t fit.

Queen...60” x 80”

 

If your cross slats are supported by a center beam going from head to foot...

and, if that center beam has legs that support it to the floor, you’ll be fine.

Without all that center support, everything will sag.

 

The mattress is double sided and flippable.

All mattresses sag over time.
How quickly will depend on the quality of the materials in the mattress and the amount of weight you place upon it.

 

The Brooklyn is well made, using tempered steel coils and high density poly foam.

It has no memory foam...which is the worst upholstery material made.

 

Here is the link to that mattress.
