A Latex Topper for a Tempur-Pedic Mattress that's causing back & hip pain.

Nancy writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I saw the article about the Tempur-Pedic Mattress causing back & hip pain. 

I have chronic back pain & hip pain, and I would like to try flipping my Tempur-Pedic mattress & putting the EverEden Latex Topper, that you recommended, on it. But, I can’t find it. 

 

Can I really flip my Tempur Pedic mattress over? Everywhere I look it says it doesn’t need to be flipped. 

But you are saying a Tempur-Pedic mattress can be flipped & add a latex topper and it will be ok?

Can you provide a link for it? 

Thanks, Nancy

 

Hi Nancy,

EverEden switched to memory foam from latex during the pandemic when supply lines for latex were disrupted. 

Flipping your mattress and adding a latex topper will be better than ok.

The memory foam that’s causing your pain is only on the top of your mattress.

The flip side is high density poly foam that’s too firm to sleep on comfortably.

 

The latex topper provides long lasting comfort and the sensation that you’re floating.

You’ll transform what you have into what you had hoped for.

Here are links to Sleep & Beyond myWoolyLatex Mattress Topper, which is what we have now.

A Latex Mattress Topper from 2015.

David writes:

 

Hi Peter,

I bought a latex mattress topper, from you, back in 2015. 

Its worked great but is starting to disintegrate. Little pieces are falling off of it. Is this normal? 

If so, can you look at my order and see which one I bought? I may need a new one. It has holes in it. 

Thanks, David

 

Hi David,

Your latex topper was made by EverEden, a company who had their latex supply line badly disrupted during the earlier days of the pandemic. They no longer make latex toppers.

The one you have is 100% Pure All-Natural Latex.

 

We have since found another manufacturer, also with 100% Pure All-Natural Latex.

But this time, it'll come with an organic cotton cover. You won't have to worry about pieces breaking off.

The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper will be what to get.

Simmons BR Black Ava with a 3" Vytex Dunlop Topper was Perfect.

Carolyn writes:

 

Hi, Peter.  

I'm a returning, happy customer.  

In early 2016, I took delivery of a Cal King Simmons BR Black Ava with a 3" Vytex Dunlop topper.  

It was so perfect that when I had to move less than a year later, I couldn't take a Cal. King set with me. 

I gifted that Cal.King set to my daughter and her new husband who is 6' 3", and they still love that set so much!  

That's the good news.  

 

The bad news is I had an accident in late 2016 that resulted in mobility issues. 

I now have extreme swelling in both of my legs (lymph nodes missing behind my knees).  

I was gifted a Queen size Beautyrest, Recharge World Class, Vanderbilt Collection Keaton, Luxury Firm Pillow Top.

I bought a 3" Dunlop latex topper on Amazon for $319, but I haven't been comfortable in the bed since day one. 

I don't think the latex topper is sturdy enough to hold my weight up from the mattress.

 

On October 27, 2020, I am moving to Bellevue, Washington to be close to my daughter and grandbabies.

I need to buy a new mattress set and have it delivered directly to my new studio apartment in Bellevue.  

Because I am struggling to lift my legs to get on top of the Queen size bed, I'm thinking about getting a Full size.

Budget is a concern, but I also need to be able to sleep as well as I did in the 2016 set I purchased from you.  

I was 5' 10" tall, but spinal compression makes me now barely 5' 8". 

I wear compression devices on both my legs and have a service dog, so I need a heavy duty mattress.  

 

Thank you in advance for your recommendations,

Thanks, Carolyn

 

Hi Carolyn,

I’m sorry to hear of your accident.

It’s a pity you had to give up your mattress.

The Black Beautyrests have a much stronger coil unit than the World Class.

The latex topper is for surface comfort, not support.

It’s the mattress that isn’t strong enough to hold you.

 

My recommendation is to replace that mattress with a stronger one. 

You'll continue to use that latex topper for extra surface comfort.

Your foundation doesn’t need to be replaced.

 

I have a mattress that will do the job and, it’s reasonably priced.

That mattress is the Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Adara.

A Latex Topper on a Form Mattress to Relieve Pain.

Lynn writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I suffer from DDD, Migraines, arthritis and take a hormone blocker for breast cancer that gives me general aches.

 

We have a firm mattress that is probably around 10 years old. 

It's starting to show signs of indented body outlines. 

I sleep on a pillow that has a hollowed out center for your head when you lay on your back.

 

Every morning, when I get out of bed, my body hurts so bad I have to sit on side of bed to try to move. 

My neck is so bad, I can’t turn it to the right, and see a chiropractor to try to make it turn. 

My Upper shoulder muscles have knots. I get Botox for my migraines. 

The neurologist always places some across the band of muscles at base of skull, as well as along my traps. 

My neck has lost its curvature due to my muscles being so taught for so many years.

 

Last night we slept on the Heavenly mattress at the Westin Hotel. 

I came home fully anticipating to buy one. I have never slept so well. 

My body did not hurt at all and I had full range of motion on my neck! I was just ecstatic. 

Then, I read the information on your page about it being great for 1 night but not for much longer as it it’s too soft and will cause back pain. I was devastated.

 

Can you please help me determine what type of mattress we should by as well as recommend a mattress Topper that may help get us a few more months or a year with current mattress.

Kindest regards, Lynn

 

Hi Lynn,

It sounds like a topper is the first step.

A good one should relieve many of your aches and pains.

It has to be soft, chemical free, and remain like new for a few years...wearing slowly.

The EverEden 3” Soft all natural Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is the one to get.

There’s no point in discussing a mattress at this time.

Things change regularly in this industry.

The topper should be all you need for, maybe, years.

You might try the topper on both sides of your mattress and use it on whichever side produces the better result.

 

You’ll, likely, to be able to use that same topper on whatever mattress comes next.

A Latex Mattress Topper for People with a Latex Allergy.

Hi Pete,

I like what I read on your blog about latex mattress toppers.

I need to make my mattress more comfortable.

My question is in regard to my latex allergy.

Do you offer a latex topper that won't cause an allergic reaction?

Thanks, Louisa

 

Hi Louisa,

In fact, we do carry a latex mattress topper that won't cause you an allergic reaction.

First off, it's unlikely for you to react to any latex foam topper.

When latex is processed into a foam, removal of most of the allergen in included, rendering latex foam hypoallergenic.

A more resent step has been added to the Dunlop process, called Vytex Dunlop.

This process removes the final small amount of allergen.

For the greatest degree of surface comfort, the EverEden All Natural 3" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is the one to get.

A Mattress for a Big Guy. Simmons Beautyrest?

Steve writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I saw a comment on a Simmons Beautyrest that was made by the mattress expert.  

Followed that back to your website, and here I am asking your thoughts.

 

I am a big guy, 330lbs 6'2". I'm usually a side sleeper, but not 100%.  

I have had a hip replacement, along with some knee and shoulder issues. I just turned 45.  

I, recently, slept on a Simmons Beautyrest mattress in a Holiday Inn Express hotel, and it was amazing.  

I read some of your thoughts and comments.  

I hate memory foam, as it makes me feel trapped.  

I like moving when I want to.

 

So... what are your thoughts?

Thanks, Steve

 

Hi Steve,

The thing that makes a Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the support from the individually pocketed coils.

However, their coils are not very strong, made of raw non-tempered steel.

Purchased at any retail store, those mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, which wears quickly and sleeps hot.

(The hotel models are not upholstered with memory foam.)

 

The mattress we recommend, for a person your size, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring.

That line, shown here:

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

These mattresses also use an individually pocketed coil system.

The coil count is higher and the double tempered steel coils are stronger than in a Simmons Beautyrest.

Also, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which wears well and sleeps cool.

 

The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable of the four models.

However, at your size and for the sake of the longevity of the mattress and reduced expense as the years go by, 

we recommend getting one of the firmer models and adding a latex topper to it.

Doing it this way will allow you to replace only the topper, as the years go by, and not the mattress.

The latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, which will cause the mattress to remain like new a whole lot longer.

The latex topper we recommend is the EverEden Vytex Dunlop in Soft...with the 3" being more comfortable than the 2"...especially for a sore shoulder.

Those latex toppers, shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/ 

 

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress/set.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.

 

 

 

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

I Need Another Latex Mattress Topper.

Shantilay writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need another latex mattress topper. 

Please advise which type of topper I purchased in 2017. 

I can’t locate my records.  

Hope you can help. 

Thanks, Shantilay 

 

Hi Shantilay,

Good to hear from you. How have you been sleeping?

 

The latex topper, you have, is an EverEden 3" Medium Vytex Dunlop Latex, in Queen size.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/  

 

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Aww, it's great to hear from you, Pete. 

Glad your still my point of contact and have my records:)

My topper, although great, is now a little too mushy...but I still love it! 

How would you describe a 2" "Firm" EverEden? 

What is turnaround time once purchased?

Shantilay

 

Hi Shantilay,

Have you tried flipping your latex topper over? 

If not, the other side should feel more like new.

You may not need to buy another one, just yet.

The best description I can give you is based on your point of reference.

The “Firm” is noticeably firmer than the medium you have.

 

Figure on a week or two for delivery.

Thanks, Pete

A New Mattress for a 500 lb. Man.

Guy writes:

 

Hello Pete
I need a new mattress. I'm a big man, weighing 500 lbs. 

I have an old Stearns and Foster, one sided mattress. 

I cannot sleep on it for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time. 

I wake up every day with back pain, and have been for years. 

I cannot go on like this. Can you help?
Thank you, Guy

Hi Guy,

For a man your size, it's foregone conclusion that no matter what you buy and no matter what you spend, the mattress you buy will need to be replaced frequently.

So, let's employ some common sense solutions that will minimize the economic impact.

 

First, is the support for the mattress.

We carry a product that is called: Forever Foundation.

It's strong enough to hold a small farm tractor. It comes with a lifetime warranty. The factory will replace any part that may break.

THIS is a one time buy for you....and an excellent place to start....replacing both, the bed frame and boxspring...permanently.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/mattress-foundations/forever-foundations/

Forever Foundations | The Mattress Expert About Forever Foundations Warranty Information Link Customer Service Link Imagine never having to buy a box spring and frame again! themattressexpert.com

Second, is the mattress.

Since most any mattress will need frequent replacing under that kind of body weight, it makes sense to me, 

to opt for the strongest mattress you can buy for the least amount of money.

To that end, I have an old fashioned, two-sided mattress made by Wolf. 

It ships via UPS and the prices are most reasonable.

I recommend the Duo-Comfort model...primarily using it with the firm side up.

That mattress, shown here:

Wolf Double Sided Flippable Mattresses | The Mattress Expert Introducing the Duo-Comfort mattress, providing your customer with comfort options in one single mattress. The Duo-Comfort is a 11″ double-sided mattress that has a firm side and a plush side. themattressexpert.com

Adding a latex topper to that will further extend the life of the mattress, by absorbing some of your body weight.

Natural Latex is the most resilient and longest lasting upholstery material on the planet.

The topper I recommend for your size, is the EverEden 3" Medium Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper.

Latex Allergies? Vytex Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers are Virtually Allergen Free.

Cathy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I was reading your blog, and you are saying some of the things I've suspected about memory foam for a while. 

The only thing I ever bought made of memory foam was a pillow and it was awful, so there is no way I'd buy a topper made of it.

My best luck so far has been a 4" down topper, but that required constant 'fluffing' to keep it comfy for me...as I see you've mentioned. 

I can't do that, and I got tired of bugging my husband to do it. 

I have RA, FMS, and a host of comorbidities and injuries, so sleep is extra important for me, and hard to get. 

I'm desperate. 

I've seen the topper you recommend, but I am allergic to latex. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your blog!

Thanks, Cathy

 

 

Hi Cathy,

You're allergic to the protein that is naturally present on the sap from the rubber tree.

The protein remains when made into gloves and bandages, which is what most people react to/

But, when made into latex foam rubber, enough of the protein is removed to render it hypoallergenic.

It is very rare for anyone to react to latex foam, since the react is manifest topically.

This have been so for the last 100 years.

 

Hypoallergenic does not mena allergen free.

For that rare number of people who react to the hypoallergenic latex, there is relief.

Today, there is Vytex Dunlop Latex. The Vytex process removes the small remaining protein from the latex, making it, virtually, allergen free.

 

For totally maintenance free and long lasting comfort, there nothing like a soft latex mattress topper.

An All Latex Mattress for Morbidly Obese People.

Hi Pete,

I'm hoping you can help me. From what I've read on your blog, I'm confident that you are among the few who can.

My wife and I are rather large people..."plus- size" is the gentle word for it. 

Morbidly obese would be a more accurate term for it.

We run between 350 and 400 pounds, fluctuating some, depending on which day we step on the scale.

We are in our late 30's with no real health problem, yet.

 

Our major problem is in finding a mattress that we don't have to replace every few months.

The sales people at the stores are always eager to claim that whatever mattress they want to sell, will do the job. 

They don't.

I now feel that every word that comes out of their mouths is nothing but lies. It's worse than buying a used car.

 

You've mentioned latex mattresses in some of your posts. 

And after reading about them on your website, I believe it's the way to go.

My question is, which one?

We would so appreciate your advice on this.

Thanks, Lawrence

 

 

Hi Lawrence,

I appreciate your vote of confidence. It's good that you've been reading, and you are certainly on the right track. 

Latex has been the most durable mattress material for the last 100 years. Nothing else comes close.

I have family in your weight range and they, too, have an all latex mattress.

Nothing else will do the job over the long term.

EverEden Latex Mattresses are made of Pure, All Natural Latex, which is the best on the market.

They are also and excellent value, due to being shipped via UPS.

Also, the EverEden Latex Mattresses are customizable, to suit any weight range.

I recommend their 8" model...consisting of a Firm 6" Vytex Dunlop Latex Core and a Medium 2" Vytex Dunlop Latex top layer.

The reason for this recommendation is purely for the sake of durability.

Your comfort is another issue. If you find yourselves comfortable on this the way it is, so much the better.

If, on the other hand, you need a softer sleeping surface, then it's better to achieve this with something that can be easily replaced without having to replace the whole mattress.

So, for the sake of added surface comfort, add an EverEden 2" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex topper.

I suggest waiting for the mattress to arrive before making that determination.

 

Here are links to the mattress and to the topper.
