Wolf Mattresses Compare to Hotel Beautyrests.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete,  
I have been doing a TON of research since deciding it was time for my old mattress to go. 
We are waking up with back pain too often. 
My husband’s typical comment every morning is that his back won’t allow him to sleep any longer.
 
I recently took a business trip and had the BEST sleep that I can ever remember having for the week I was there. 
The mattress was extremely comfortable - the perfect combination of soft and support.  
It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.
It was so good I contacted the hotel upon my return home to ask for information on the mattress. 
They told me it was a Beautyrest by Simmons.
 
Once I had the brand of mattress I thought I was all set.
Then I came upon your website that informed me that I couldn’t buy the same quality mattresses hotels get unless I bought from the hotel. I was so devastated!
 
However, I’ve looked at your Wolf brand mattresses and wonder if they are comparable. 
Is there any way you can give me a recommendation for a mattress closest to a hotel quality Simmons Beautyrest?
 
Thank you for your time and the education your website has provided. 
I anxiously look forward to your reply.
Best regards, Denise
 
Good Morning Denise,
The Specifications of the Wolf Two-Sided Mattress are superior to the hotel Beautyrests.
The coil count is the same, and the coils are stronger...made of tempered steel.
Simmons does not temper their coils....made of raw steel.
The type of upholstery is the same as the hotel models.
Wolf Two-sided mattresses
The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses are even better.
The coils are double tempered and the upholstery is latex or latex and poly foam.
The hotel Beautyrests use poly foam...chemical based poly foam.
Wolf's poly foam is plant based....no chemicals.
And, latex is far superior to poly foam.
Of the two models in this line, The Tulah is the more comfortable.
Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/
It's the individually pocketed coils that makes a Beautyrest so comfortable, which these Wolf mattresses also have.
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

Sealy Posturepedic Encore Ultra Plush Hotel Mattress.

Ron writes:
Hotelbed-themattressexpert.com
 
Hi Pete,
I stayed at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Manhattan recently and fell in love with their beds. 
I can’t seem to find it, but it seems on the retail level.
It seems that every store carries the same mattresses but with a different model name. 
I guess that is one way to prevent customers from price shopping.
 
Anyway,  the mattress I am looking for the Sealy Posturepedic Encore Ultra Plush mattress. 
It also says 15” pocketed sheet required.
 
Is this something you sell? Or can direct me somewhere that does?
Thank you in advance, Ron
 
Hi Ron,
You are in possession of some erroneous information.
 
Many retail stores advertise hotel grade mattresses. It’s a lie.
All Sealy mattresses, available at retail stores, are upholstered with memory foam.
Hotel mattresses are not.
Hotels have long rejected mattresses upholstered with memory foam due to the fact that memory foam causes a mattress to need frequent replacing.
All of the name brands have gone bad.
All have been sold to investors and they are using memory foam to maximize profits.
Profits and not quality are now job 1 for many mattress manufacturers.
Avoiding mattresses made with memory foam is imperative for a successful purchase.
 
The mattress you want can be had in one of two ways...from the hotel, directly...
or, from Sealy’s Hospitality Division.
Here is the contact information you’ll need to buy that mattress.

Aloft Hotel Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Jennifer writes:
 
Hi there,
I came across your site when doing some research. 
Like several others that contacted you, I had a great experience on the mattress at the Aloft hotels, which appears to be a Simmons Beautyrest. Which one, who knows.
 
We recently returned a Queen-sized Saatva luxury firm mattress. 
I have bulging discs in my lower back and I found their bed to be too firm. 
We exchanged it for another Saatva, the plush style, and still…too firm. 
So that is now returned. I had hoped to buy organic, but it did not work. We kept the box spring.
 
We are now temporarily sleeping in our guest room double size Serta mattress. It’s a bit too soft with both of us. 
Alone, it is great. For two of us, the double size is too small for a couple. When my husband is in it, it turns into a taco.
 
I’m looking to buy a mattress that will help me wake up rested and not in pain. 
I can tell during the night my hips get out of alignment, which exacerbates my back pain.
 
What mattress would you recommend? 
What is the equivalent comfort to the Aloft mattress I slept in within the last year? 
Any guidance you can offer would be appreciated.
 
Thank you, Jennifer
 
Hi Jennifer,
What makes a Beautyrest so comfortable is the individually pocketed coil unit.
Each coil moves independently from one another, which maintains the natural alignment of your spine.
This type of coil system also provides a great degree of motion separation...not feeling each other move.
 
Hotel Beautyrests have no memory foam in them.
To buy a hotel grade Beautyrest, you have to buy it from a hotel that sells them.
Any Simmons Beautyrest, purchased from a retail store, will be upholstered with memory foam.
 
Memory foam is a horrible product...a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat.
As you sink into it, the natural alignment of your spine is gone, causing back pain.
Memory foam reflects your body heat back to you and causes you to sleep hot.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
For all these reasons, hotels have long rejected mattresses made with memory foam.
 
You can shop the hotels to find one who sells them, but the price they charge is exorbitant. 
Here is a link to mattresses we recommend.
Wolf Tulah Euro Top (1)
Wolf Tulah Euro Top (1)

These mattresses, from Wolf, also use an individually pocketed coil unit.
The coils are stronger than Simmons coils and the upholstery is latex in the Adara model and Latex & poly foam in the Tulah model. Poly foam is what they use in hotel mattresses. Latex is and has been the best upholstery for the last 100 years.
Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the entire nation, that has been continually owned and operated by the same family. The Wolf family established their manufacturing plant in Fort Wayne Indiana in 1873...and have been there ever since. 
We have sold many of these mattresses, over the years, with zero complaints to show for it.
Some of my family members have been enjoying their mattresses for many years.
 
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

Is the Wolf Two-sided Plush Mattress really plush?

Melissa writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
Is the Wolf Two-sided Plush Mattress really plush? 
I love a soft plush mattress. 
I want a king size for me, a twin size for my son and a full size for my daughter. 
We will need them in about a month.
I saw that the prices are very reasonable. No sales tax and free shipping? You can't beat that.
Thank you, so much, Melissa
 
Hi Melissa,
The Wolf Brolynn Two-Sided Plush mattress is, certainly, comfortable.
I wouldn’t characterize it as overly soft.
Wolf Two-sided mattresses

However, if after you get it, should you want it to be softer, you can always make it so.
Add a Pure Bliss Plush Talalay Latex Topper...the 3” is the softest.

These mattresses ship in a week or 2, and take a few days to arrive after that.

Mattress at Aloft Hotel in Sarasota FL.

Chris writes: Hotelbed-themattressexpert.com
 
Hello Pete,
I wonder if you can tell me what mattress the hotel Aloft in Sarasota, FL uses, and whether you sell them?
Thanks, Chris
 
 
Hi  Chris,
Without calling them to find out, I’d have no way of knowing.
When you call, ask for housekeeping.
Have them check the mattress in the room you occupied, which may or may not be the same as the mattress in other rooms.

Sealy Posturepedic Hotel Mattress.

Joy writes:

Hi Pete,
We just got back from vacation and we've enjoyed the best week's sleep we can remember ever having.
The concierge said their mattresses are Sealy Posturepedics.
The funny thing is, we have a Sealy Posturepedic, at home, that is only a year old and nowhere near as comfortable.
Can you tell me why?
Also, where can I get one like the one at the hotel?
Thanks, Joy
 
Hi Joy,
The 'why' is the difference in upholstery material.
Your Sealy Posturepedic, at home, is upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material on the market.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
The hotels wouldn't put up with that nonsense, considering how many mattresses that they have.
So, Sealy (and Simmons) make mattresses for hotels without the memory foam upholstery....the way they had made them for retail stores years ago.
 
You cannot buy a hotel grade Sealy Posturepedic at any retail store, despite advertising to the contrary.
You can only buy them through hotels that offer them for sale, or through Sealy's Hospitality Division.
Here is the information you'll need to buy from Sealy, directly.

There are 3 different models available.
Give Sharrie a call, and she'll walk you through them.
 
Should you find the price to be more than you'd like to spend, I have a reasonably priced alternative.
The Wolf Brolynn is a well-made, old-fashioned, two-sided mattress...also with no memory foam.

Confused! Back Pain and Numbness on My Mattress.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I ran across your website today as I was researching for my next mattress purchase. I am so confused! 
There are so many brands to choose from, so I thought I would just seek your input instead. :)
 
I am 61, 5'6", and around 260 pounds. I have lower back pain, and have knee joint pain. 
I usually have pressure points on my hips and shoulders. 
Sometimes, I get numbness in my arms and fingers, which goes away when I shift positions. 
I am mostly a side-sleeper.
 
I want to purchase a king-size bed, but can you please direct me to the type of bed I need? 
I don't like to sink into a bed, but I did sleep once on a Holiday Inn Simmons Beautyrest "Dream Bed"
That's what the hotel called it - and it was very comfortable. 
The bed in my second bedroom is a Sleep Number.
I don't find it to be the best sleep consistently - sometimes good, sometimes not.
 
What type of bed do I need? Thanking you in advance for any input you can provide!
Denise
 
Hi Denise,
When you consider that all of the name brands, brands you could trust for quality at one time, have been sold...now upholstering their mattresses with memory foam, and that many of the other brands are also upholstering their mattresses with memory foam, this whole business of buying a mattress becomes a lot less confusing.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
To make a successful purchase, you must avoid any mattress that has memory foam in it. That narrows your choices, considerably.
 
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat. 
The heavier parts of your body sink, while your arms don’t, causing that numbness in your arms and fingers.
Memory foam sleeps hot, causes back pain to worsen, and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made...attacking your respiratory system....a health hazard, as well as a poor-quality products.
 
Your sleep number bed is a bag of air, providing inadequate support and, it’s upholstered with memory foam.
 
Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, made for hotels, have no memory foam in them.
These are not available at any retail stores.
You can only get them through a hotel, but they charge a premium price for them.
Still, they don’t wear well under a person your size, as the coils are weak.
 
The mattress I’m recommending uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest, with much stronger coils and a higher coil count.
What’s more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which is and has been the highest quality upholstery material for the last 100 years.
 
Here is a link to The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress

This mattress has no memory foam 
White glove delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Sealy Plush Mattress at the Venetian Hotel.

Thomas writes: Hotelbed-themattressexpert.com
 
Hello Pete,
Thank you for your blog and responses to people questions.  
I have a question about finding the Sealy Venetian plush mattress that you find at Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.  
I read a past blog you had posted.  The link that you provide is no longer active or working.  
Do you have a new recommendation or link of where I can purchase the same mattress?
Respectfully, Thomas
 
Hi Thomas,
For a couple of years, or so, after Tempur-Pedic purchased Sealy, hotel grade mattresses were still available at retail stores.
That is no longer the case.
Sealy mattresses made for retail stores are upholstered with memory foam.
Sealy mattresses made for hotels are upholstered with polyurethane foam, which was how they were made prior to Tempur-Pedic taking them over.
 
You cannot buy a hotel grade Sealy mattress at any retail store.
You can only buy them through a hotel.
 
Thanks to the efforts of one of my readers, I have the contact information you need to do just that...shown here:

Buying a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress from a Hotel.

Curtis writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
I ran across your blog and read some of the articles. A few things i really had not thought about.
> 1. Buying a mattress used in a hotel chain.
        Specifically, that the mattress was designed for part time use and not daily use.
> 2. Body perspiration decreases life of mattress
> 3. Materials used.
 
With that said, we bought a Westin Heavenly bed some years ago after staying in a Westin Hotel. 
We still love the mattress but it is now past its time and has indentations in it (an has for years). 
In the last year, or so, we loved the bedding at the Even and Holiday Inn Hotels as well as the Kimpton’s all IHG hotels. When I asked hotel staff at the Even about the mattress, I was told the Simmons Beautyrest Pillow Top. 
Since I was not given the exact details and I know their mattresses are custom made for them, which one? 
Now the Kimpton does sell their mattresses on line to consumers. 
We loved the comfort and cool feel of both Even and Kimpton mattresses. 
But from reading your articles we are hesitate to purchase, fearing we will regret it in a short time. 
And that we will be buying another mattress in short order. 
Based on the information provided, what would you recommend. 
Not sure if this helps, but my wife and I both sleep on our sides.
Thanks, Curtis
 
Hi Curtis,
There's a couple of way to go about this.
Simmons Beautyrests, made for hotels, have no memory foam in them.
Simmons Beautyrests made for retail, are almost all memory foam.
To buy just a mattress, you're better off getting it from a hotel.
However, buying from a hotel gets you a low end, Silver Series Beautyrest, for which you will pay a premium price.
 
My suggestion is to get a Platinum Series Beautyrest in Luxury Firm and adding a 2" or 3" Plush Latex Topper to it.
The Platinum Series has a lot more coils and you can overcome the negative effects of the memory foam with the latex topper.
The latex topper will provide an extraordinarily comfortable sleeping surface and prevent the premature wear of the mattress, caused by the memory foam. In short, it will last a whole lot longer than the manufacturer intended.
 
Here are links to the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum mattresses and Pure Bliss Latex Toppers.

Replacing a Sealy Posturepedic Whistlewood Euro Plush Pillow Top Mattress.

Brad writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I previously had a Sealy Posturepedic Whistlewood Euro Plush Pillow Top mattress, which we loved.  
It was the perfect balance of support and softness for my partner and I.  
The only issue is Sealy no longer makes this type of mattress and our old one was a Queen size.
We now have a King size bedroom set.  
 
We got the King Sealy Deveraux Plush Euro Top, recently, and aren't pleased with it at all.  
I'd consider us average sized people at roughly 6'2" 210 lb and 5'7" 140 lb.
But for whatever reason, this bed isn't cutting it at all.  
It appears Sealy doesn't carry any latex options anymore.
I worry other latex beds without the pillow top won't gives us the cloud like soft feel along with benefit of support.  
Do you have a best option you'd recommend and maybe a second option under $1,500 for a King size?
Thanks, Brad
 
Hi Brad,
That bed is not cutting it, for a very specific reason.
Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic and now, all the mattresses they make are upholstered with memory foam...thee worst upholstery material ever invented.
Your old Sealy didn't have any memory foam upholstery layers, which is why it lasted so long and wore so well.
A successful purchase is only had with mattresses that have no memory foam.
That's not easy to do in today's market. All of the name brands have been sold.
Memory foam is used by all of them for the sake of increasing profit.
Today, it's all about profit and not, at all, about quality.
 
There are two way to go about getting something you'll be happy with.
One way, is to buy your mattress through Sealy's Hospitality Division.
Having sooo many mattresses, hotels refused to accept this reduction in quality, since it means having to replace mattresses much more frequently than in the past.
 
The mattresses that Sealy makes for hotels, are made with no memory foam upholstery layers.
They are not available at any retail; stores, despite claims you light see of having 'hotel grade' mattresses.
Here is the contact information you need to buy a mattress through Sealy's Hospitality Division.
Sharrie Bumgarner
Phone: 1-866-438-7378
 
Being within your budget, I don't know.
 
Purchased through us, we carry the "Wolf" brand of mattresses...the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been continually owned and operated by the same family.
The Wolf Family established their company in 1873.
They make a very fine product at a reasonable price...in part, thanks to UPS delivery.
They make an old fashioned two sided, flippable mattress that uses the same type of upholstery material used in your old Sealy mattress.
