Eclipse Medicoil Mattress with a Latex Topper For a Very Big Man.

Juan writes:

 

Hi Peter, 

We Purchased a mattress from you in 2012.

It was an Eclipse Medicoil Mattress with a latex topper.

Is there any chance that you still offer this mattress? We want to upgrade to a king size.

I'm a very big man, 6' 1" and weigh 430 lbs. with herniated discs.

My wife is 160 lbs., and loves the feel of this firm mattress and soft latex topper.

Thanks, Juan 

 

Good Morning Juan,

That mattress, you have, is no longer being made.

I’m happy to hear that it served you well.

 

What I can offer you, today, it a very high quality mattress...like the one we sleep on at home. 

It's made by Natura of Canada...their Greenspring mattress in Firm.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Pocketed Coil and Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert The Liberta Firm Mattress delivers improved well being and scrumptious comfort with eco-friendly flair. A layer of NaturaWool™ maintains temperature control and gently buffers pressure points to diminish nighttime tossing and turning. themattressexpert.com

The components of this mattress are of the highest quality.

The coil count is very high and the steel from which the coils are made, are twice tempered for greater durability.

The primary upholstery material is firm Talalay Latex.

You will still need a softer latex topper to go on it for surface comfort.

I suggest the PureBliss 2” Plush Talalay Latex Topper.

Simmons Beautyrest Dartmouth Drive ultimate firm mattress

Grace writes:

 

Dear Mattress Expert,

I'm having a difficult time comparing two mattresses, the Stearns and Foster Blisswood and the BeautyRest Dartmouth Drive Ultimate Firm.

Which is a better bed? I'm not finding anything positive on either brandof the beds.

Also, do you know when Blisswood was discontinued?

 Thanks for any advice that you can provide.

 Grace

Hi Grace, 
The Blisswood was replaced with the Heidi. 
The Dartmouth Drive ultimate firm is the better of the two.                                                           Complaints are more frequent with plush and pillowtop models. Extra firm models rarely go bad.  Most of the mattresses sold are plush and pillowtop, which is why the reviews are so bad. 

Here is the link to the Dartmouth Drive.

Dear Peter,

Thanks for the reply.  We ended up going with the Beautyrest. Only because we saw bad reviews for the S&F and couldn't find any comments Pos or Neg for that Beautyrest.

Thanks for the advice. We love the mattress and the service you provided.

 

Thanks,

Grace

 

 

Mattress questions - Queen and King‏

Julie writes:

We were in great need of two new mattresses-one king size for us, one queen guest bed. Our plan was to try out the ones you suggest, the S&F Core Ingrid Luxury Firm from Macy’s-same line as the Heidi that you recommend , and the Simmons Beautyrest Adamsville Plush Firm Euro Top for the guest room adding your latex topper for both. We can find no dealer for Simmons here locally and needed a bed quickly due to holiday company and my dad staying here following surgery. So we purchased a queen Sleep Design, Eclipse Eurotop 50-7C1M ($950) said to have individual coils like the Simmons and  we put a fairly good foam pad on top. It is very hard without a topper. We have purchased mattresses from this local dealer (Snow’s) in the past and they have provided very good service and honored a return and exchange. So far, it seems fairly comfortable and, of course, much better than the sagging mattress it replaced. What is your opinion on this?

We still need a king bed for us however. Macy’s carries some S&F but not the Ingrid or anything except plush tops. I am 5’5” 130 lbs with Rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis which is becoming more painful;  husband is 5’11” 210 lbs, no major issues other than snoring when he is on his back so sleeps mostly on his side and gets some soreness in that hip. We have a 10 year old Sealy posturpedic that has really never been comfortable even though we have replaced foam toppers several times. The husband is leery of buying a bed he can’t see and lie on first but we are limited in what we can find here in Tulsa, OK. I am leaning toward taking your advice and just ordering from you due to your excellent website and reviews.

Thank you, Julie

 

Hi Julie,

You can't go wrong with what you bought for the guest room. A latex topper will, certainly, make it more comfortable.

Macy's has recently changed their line, but you should be able to test the Heidi firm at Sears. They call it Lois.

Your scoliosis requires that firm support, along with your husband's size.

I would add the 2" soft topper to that. As your RA progresses, that may not be enough. To the latex topper, you can add a softer down alternative comforter.

Trying a mattress before buying tells you little. A new mattress never feels like the floor sample.

Being such a long term purchase, supposedly, trying a floor sample tells you nothing about how the mattress will feel a year or two from now.

Trying first is the conventional way of buying. Research is better.

Mattress recommendation for a large man

Dan writes:

Hi,

I am a bigger guy... 300lbs. My wife is about 130. I have a select comfort right now but I can only sleep well when I am alone. If she is in bed with me, I wake up with back pain or hip pain. I just can't live with the select comfort any more. I like softer beds but I also heard latex was good. I just don't know what kind of latex bed is good. I don't want to break the bank either. 

I read you had recommended some models to other people, but you don't seem to have those anymore. Do you have any current recommendations for a bigger person?

Thanks, Dan

 

Hi Dan,

I have a couple of choices that will works well for you...strong enough for you and comfortable enough for your wife.

The first uses an individually pocketed coil system, which is the better choice of the two for reduced motion transfer.

Here are links to both mattresses. BR Black Ansleigh in plush/firm, and the Cameo plush

Sealy Posturepedic Solaris Plush mattress‏

Erin writes:

Hi there,
I have another question. Do you remember the Sealy Posturepedic Solaris Plush mattress? I have been sleeping on it for over ten years. I understand I will not find a mattress like this one again, but any idea where to start? Erin
  
 
Hi Erin,

A good place to start is with a mattress using the same coil system.

Here is a two sided model, also using the same coil system as the Posturepedic...but, being a 2-sided, flippable mattress, it has the same longevity as the older Posturepedics.

Stearns & Foster Heidi, Two-sided Cameo plush mattress‏

Sarah writes:

Hello Mattress Expert,

A few years ago, I purchased a bed (which I now beleive to be extinct) called the Airsprung Wembley. I liked it very much, and the only reason I am replacing it is because I need a bigger bed. I am now looking for a Queen. I have been searching for a long time, but I am not finding anything that offers the same kind of plush cushioning and strong support. I have been looking at the Stearns & Foster Luxury Plush (the Cora - or Heidi - or Ingrid, depending on the store) and I was wondering what you thought of that one? I am concerned that it may be too plush and not offer the proper support. I am 5"5, 129 lbs. Please let me know what you might recommend, and I am trying to spend around $1200-1300 dollars.

Thanks!

Sarah

 

Hi Sarah,

Like so many other plush mattresses, the Heidi Plush tends to take a body impression too readily.

If you would like a plush, comfortable mattress that will keep its shape and have a stronger coil unit, our two-sided Cameo plush will do a better job of that.

Here's the link for that mattress.

Two-Sided Therapedic Keepsake Cameo Mattress

Ramses writes:

Hi

I'm glad to see your business is growing you have added a few more mattresses

I'm looking to buy my parents (both side sleepers with some back sleeping) a new mattress comfortable and able to last a few years.

We were looking at the Therapedic two-sided Keepsake Cameo, but I have a few questions.

My question is does this mattress come in a California King cause my parents are both tall and they like the room.

Is the padding the same in both the plush and the firm cause the discription on your web page doesn't say and is the mattress available with a regular foundation again the description doesn't say

Is the Cameo in plush a good choice for people on the heavy side 250-278 lbs. or would the better choice be the firm my parents don't want a mattress that's to hard that's why I asked about the padding.I figured if the padding is the same maybe the firm won't be that hard and they won't need a latex mattress topper.

Thank You Once Agian

Ramses

 Hi Ramses,
Nice to hear from you again.
The Therapedic models are an excellent value. They are made much like the older Sealy Posturepedics and have no memory foam in them.

They do come in Cal.King and the plush model has been tested under body weight that exceeds that of your parents...and it holds up extremely well. Your wouldn't need a latex topper for the plush, but definately would for the firm.

Where to try a two sided Therapedic Mattress.

 I live in MD. where can i find a store that has the Therapedic so we can try it out.

Hi Denise,
Our showroom on Kirkwood Hwy in Wilmington Delaware has those mattresses on display.

It should be a reasonably short drive from Maryland.
