We have had 5 memory foam mattresses in 5 years!

Darlene writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We have had 5 memory foam mattresses in 5 years!  
Actually, my husband is still on the memory foam. I'm currently sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. 
That's how bad my body hurts.  I've tried everything. 
I've turned the "no flip" on the hard side and added a memory foam topper .
I've added another memory foam topper on top of the "good" side of the mattress. 
After having read and reread your website, I am currently wondering whether a firm latex mattress topper over the memory foam mattress will help - or am I just wasting more money?
 
I am 66 - my husband is 75. I weigh 165 lbs. and sleep on my side. 
My husband weighs 200 lbs. and sleeps on his back.  
 
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Darlene 
 
Hi Darlene,
Since you’ve read my blog, you must have figured out that your problem has been the memory foam all along.
No. Adding a firm latex topper to the top of a memory foam mattress will not produce the results you’re looking for.
 
Your memory foam mattress isn’t all memory foam.
The memory foam is only on the top.
The memory foam is supported by high density poly foam.
 
As a first step, buy a Suite Sleep 100% Pure All Natural 3” Soft Dunlop Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Suite Sleep LATEXTOP-2__17542.1554768346

When it arrives, flip your mattress over and add the latex topper.
Get rid of all your memory foam toppers. They’re worthless.
 
Doing this will give you firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.
When the time comes to buy a new mattress, get a firm individually pocketed coil innerspring.
You can use that same latex topper on top of it.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Sealy Mattress that we Purchased in 2015.

Li writes:
 
Hello Pete,
I found your site while looking into our Sealy mattress that we purchased in 2015.  
Since then I've had significant ongoing issues, skin rashes, fatigue, irritability, mood swings and general unwell feeling.
I've been to many doctors and explored all avenues I could but now I believe it's due to the mattress.  
I'm 5' 8'' and about 140 lbs. He's about 6' and 165 lbs.
What do you recommend for replacement?  
Also, is there any way to know for sure what was in this particular mattress?
Thank, Li
 
Hi Li,
Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013.
All of their mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is made of 61 different chemicals, some of which are highly toxic.
You are, no doubt, reacting to the chemical off gassing.
Some people are more sensitive to these chemicals than others.
 
Since you are, both, so slender, either of these Pocketed Coil/ Latex Hybrid Mattresses will work well for you.

Both are supportive and comfortable. The Tulah has a softer surface feel.
The Adara has the better specification and is more durable.
 
You don’t need a new foundation.
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.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest World Class Ansley Eurotop Plush Mattress.

Austin writes:
 
Good evening Pete,
I am looking to find a rather specific mattress from my friend's beach house that was purchased years ago.
I'm hoping it still exists today maybe under a different name.
It is the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Ansley Eurotop Plush mattress.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Austin
 
Hi Austin,
Simmons was sold to investors, who now upholster every Beautyrest mattress with memory foam.
They didn’t use memory foam when the mattress you asked about was made.
The difference is the longevity.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
When that Ansley mattress was made, Simmons used polyurethane and latex foams.
 
While Simmons makes nothing that will satisfy you, I have a mattress that will.
The Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress from Wolf, uses the same type of coil system...
the same gauge of wire used in the Plush Beautyrests...and upholstered with polyurethane and latex foams....and NO Memory Foam. It will produce the feel...the support and comfort you're looking for.

3rd Mattress in 3 Months. Back Pain.

Mary writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I had a Dormia mattress for many years, which I loved.
But like anything else, it eventually wore out and had to be replaced.
Since then, I'm on my 3rd mattress in 3 months. All are causing back pain I've never had before.
I can't live with this pain. I need a mattress that is as good as my old one.
I'm 5' 7" and weigh 200 lbs.
What would you recommend?
Thanks, Mary
 
Hi Mary,
The best of what I'm recommending for you, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
This is the mattress we have at home.
Due to the quality of the components being so high and so resilient, this mattress is not as soft as it sounds.
But, it is quite comfortable...and extremely supportive....not to mention that the longevity is as good as your old Dormia.
Here is a link to that mattress:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
Adding to the upside is the White Glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
The down side is, it's likely to take the better part of 2 months to arrive.
 
The other option is the Wolf Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress.
It's not as elaborately made as the Natura, as the price difference would indicate.
It is, however, much better made that most other mattresses made today.
This, too, has no memory foam in it.
 
The delivery is UPS and would require someone on your end to do the grunt work...bringing it in and unpacking it.
The upside is the wait time is much shorter...more like 3 weeks.
If opting for this mattress, you'll want it plush both sided.
Again, delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
It's that there is no memory foam in these mattresses, that will cause them to last a decent amount of time.
Wolf Two-sided mattresses
Both mattresses use an individually pocketed coil system, which provides contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine. It's this coil system that relieves back pain.


 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Big Fig Mattress for a 235 Lb. Curvy Female?

Marcia writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
I'm 5’5 and 235 lb. curvy female.
My hubby sometimes sleeps there and he is about the same in height and weight. 
What do you think of the Big Fig mattress and Dream Cloud mattress?
Thanks, Marcia
 
Hi Marcia,
They don’t last. Lots of bad reviews.
 
My wife and I are both over 200 lbs.
The mattress we have at home is over 5 years old, and still in like new condition.
It’s made by Natura of Canada, their Greenspring Ultra Plush model.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress set.

An All Natural, All Latex Mattress.

Nancy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I have been sleeping on an all latex mattress since we first got married.
That mattress has made it to our 25th anniversary, which we recently celebrated.
We have sleep well over the last 25 years and wish to continue to do so.
Our mattress needs replacing, at this point, and we want to replace it with the same thing.
We want an all natural latex mattress.
Do you have them for sale on your website?
Thanks, Nancy
 
Hi Nancy,
We do carry a very nice quality line of natural latex mattresses.
They feature Natural Talalay Latex, a Natural Cotton Cover, and a layer of Wool as a Fire retardant.
There are no chemicals and no off gassing.
What's more, you'll be celebrating your 50th anniversary on this mattress.
Here is a link to The Natura of Canada line of Latex mattresses:
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress
 
There are 5 choices of comfort.
These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress/set.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

The Best Mattress for the Least Amount of Money.

Evelyn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I need a new mattress.
We have not, yet, been able to go back to work and was hoping to put this off.
But, we are waking in pain and this memory foam mattress has to go.
We aren't small people, but not real heavy, either.
He's 5'10" and weighs 220 lbs. I'm 5' 6" and weigh 150 lbs.
I like a softer mattress than he does, so it has to work for both of us.
What is the best mattress, that you offer, for the least amount of money?
Thanks, Evelyn
 
Hi Evelyn,
We carry some well made mattresses for The Wolf Corp.
Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been continually owned and operated by the same family.
The Wolf family established their business in Indiana in 1873...and the Wolf family still owns it.
They do a very nice job of producing quality mattresses at a reasonable price.
Their least expensive is an Old Fashioned Two Sided mattress...shown here:
Wolf Two-sided mattresses

 

However, the one I'm recommending for you, based on your sizes and comfort choice, is their next line up.
These Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses have a stronger coil system and more comfortable, longer lasting upholstery.
The double tempered steel makes for a stronger, firmer coil unit.
The latex upholstery lasts longer than any other type of upholstery material.
The Tulah Plush Eurotop has the softer sleeping surface without sacrificing the firm, underlying support.
This strikes me as being the perfect choice for you and your husband.
Here is a link to that mattress:

A Mattress to Relieve Back Pain from Herniated Discs.

Beth writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband has a couple of herniated discs.
We bought a memory foam mattress after the salesperson told us this was best for his condition.
At first, it seemed to help a bit. We were hopeful that his back would continue to improve with time.
The best result was at the beginning. But now, his back pain is worse than before.
Unfortunately for us, "Now", is after the comfort exchange period has ended.
I can't return it and I can't exchange it. He's back to sleeping in his recliner.
We need a mattress that will relieve his back pain for more than a couple of months.
Neither of us are heavy. What would you recommend we buy now?
I sleep on my side. He sleeps on his back. We need a queen size mattress.
Thanks, Beth
 
Hi Beth,
Today's salespeople are trained on how to close a sale...and that's is the extent of their training.
In the old days, we learned about the components of a mattress...how each of them worked and the benefit they provided. But then again, that was at a time when the factories compete with each other to make a quality mattress.
 
Since then, all of the name brands have been sold to investors.
All of the name brands and many of the off brands use memory foam, which is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. Memory foam is, in fact, the worst upholstery material ever invented.
No only is it a lousy product, in terms of quality, it also off gasses the toxic chemicals form which it's made.
So, the key to a successful mattress purchase is to avoid any mattress made with memory foam.
 
Also, any all foam mattress is the wrong choice to support herniated discs.
Even an all latex mattress, which is the best of the foams, won't do the job.
His spine requires the push back support of an innerspring mattress.
The best of those is an individually pocketed coil, which maintains the natural alignment of the spine.
It's THIS that will relieve his back pain. 
Add latex upholstery to that, and you have a mattress that provides the proper support for herniated discs that will do so for many years to come. Latex upholstery is very comfortable and extremely long lasting.
Here is a link to two mattress. Both will do the job. The Tulah is the more comfortable at the surface.
Since there is a female who will sleep on this mattress, I recommend to the Tulah model to relieve hip pain, which is common with female side sleepers.

Back Pain I Attribute to an Unsupportive Mattress.

Chris writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are looking for a new mattress. I'm 260 lbs. She's about 130 lbs. 
I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her back. 
I occasionally have lower back pain after sleeping, which I attribute to an increasingly unsupportive mattress.
Can you recommend something that will give us a great night sleep?
Thank you, Chris
 
Hi Chris,
I do have something that will give you a great night's sleep that will do so long term.
It would be the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
My wife and I are large people, each over 200 lbs.
And, I have lots of disc related back problems, accumulated over the years.
Our mattress is 5 years old and, still, in like new condition...with not so much as a dent in it.
And even though my back has seen better days, I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain.
That mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

A Good Quality, Inexpensive Mattress. Financing?

Jane writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I are in a tight spot.
We, desperately, need a new mattress, but can't afford one.
We are waiting for my husband to be called back to work, but that hasn't happened yet.
The prices I've been seeing, for a good quality mattress, are way too high.
What is your best recommendation for a good quality mattress that is inexpensive?
And, do you offer financing?
Thanks, Jane
 
Hi Jane,
We do have a mattress that will fit into anyone's budget.
It's a good quality, old fashioned, two sided mattress.
The individually pocketed coils are made of tempered steel, and there's no memory foam in it.
Both of these features add to the durability.
Made by Wolf, The Brolynn Mattress is available in Firm, Plush or Duo Comfort.
The price is low. The quality is very good. And, financing is available through PayPal at checkout.
Here is a link to that mattress:

Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.
