Recommendation for a Mattress and Latex Topper.

Joel writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Wanted your recommendation for a mattress and latex topper.

I weight 230, the wife is 120. Both of us sleep side and stomach sleepers.

I have back issues. My wife has hip issues.

We do seem to like the Westin Heavenly bed when we stay there, but see that they have little longevity.

Recommendations?

Thanks, Joel

 

Hi Joel,

What makes the Heavenly Bed so comfortable is the individually pocketed coils, which contour to the shape of the body, maintaining the natural alignment of the spine. The steel from which the coils are made is not tempered, so they don’t hold up very well. The upholstery materials aren’t that great, either...in terms of longevity.

 

My recommendation is for the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

The coils system is the same as in the Heavenly Bed...with a higher coil count and double tempered steel. The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex, which is far superior to the upholstery materials used in the Heavenly Bed.

 

That mattress, shown here:

I recommend waiting until after you get the mattress to determine if you even need a latex topper. 

If you do, then order a Suite Sleep latex topper.

They are made of pure, 100% all natural latex...the highest quality latex on the planet.

Here is a link to those:

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

The latex topper arrives via FedEx.

 

Delivery is free for both and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Stearns and Foster Tivoli Elegance Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress.

Johnny writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I spoke to you a while back about sleeping on the Stearns and Foster Tivoli Elegance Plush Euro Pillowtop Mattress.

It was at the Lowe’s Portofino Bay & Resort in Orlando.  

I can’t remember which mattress you recommended. It's the best rest I ever had and no soreness.  

Thank you, Johnny

 

Hi Johnny,

That Hotel S&F is a quality mattress, which you can’t buy at any retail stores.

We carry mattresses that are as high quality or better, like the Natura of Canada Greenspring.

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

But while what we carry will give you excellent support, comfort and longevity, they aren't going to have the same feel as that particular S&F mattress. 

If you're looking to replicate that mattress, I recommend buying one through the Lowe’s Hotel.

It’s the only way to get exactly what you want.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Hospitality Mattress.

Melanie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We slept on the Simmons Beautyrest Hospitality mattress at La Quinta Wyndham hotel. 

We are wondering what mattress is closest at retail to this mattress, so that I can purchase it?

Thank you, Melanie

 

Hi Melanie,

You can’t buy a Simmons Beautyrest at a retail store that is the same as the mattresses used in hotels. 

The upholstery materials are different.

Hotel Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with polyurethane foam.

Retail Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.

Hotels have long rejected the use of memory foam, because is causes a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Besides the premature wear, memory foam has a variety of other negative side effects.

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

Avoid any mattress made with memory foam.

 

You have two viable options.

1) Buy a Simmons Beautyrest from a hotel, directly.

2) This Two-Sided Mattress uses the same coil system and upholstery materials that are used in Simmons Beautyrest mattresses made for hotels.

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

 

If going with the 2nd option, choose it in “Plush”.

UPS shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Sealy Posturepedic Mattress at the Rosewood Hotel.

Savvy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just read a blog post where you responded to a similar question about a Rosewood mattress.

Does Rosewood hotel group use the same mattress in all their hotels? 

Specifically, in the Rosewood Hotel Hong Kong? Does it use a Sealy Posturepedic?

If I want to replicate the full sleep experience there, what else would I need to get?

Do they use a mattress topper? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Savvy

 

Hi Savvy,

What’s being used in a Hong Kong hotel is better ascertained by calling that hotel.

If it’s a hotel grade Sealy Posturepedic mattress you’re after, you won’t find it at any retail store. 

The way they are made, is only available through a hotel or through Sealy’s Hospitality Division, directly.

Here is the contact information you’ll need to buy that mattress.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Patricia writes: 

 

Hi Pete,

What is the price of a Holiday Inn Express Hotel Mattress?

The one I slept on was a Simmons Beautyrest.

Thanks, Patricia

 

Hi Patricia,

Those can only be purchased through a hotel.

They are not available at any retail stores.

You'll see 'Hotel Grade' mattresses advertised, online. It's not true.

Simmons makes mattresses without memory foam for hotels.

Every mattress they make for retail stores are upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery ,material ever invented.

It's specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Hotels have long rejected mattresses made with memory foam for that reason.

Memory foam, also, sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

Not only is it a lousy product, in terms of performance, it also presents a health hazard.

Memory foam is thee thing to avoid, when shopping for a 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.

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.

The Uno Smart adjustable base created by Magniflex is a product of German engineering that has been designed to provide our customers with the highest level of well-being with several benefits to ensure satisfied customers. themattressexpert.com

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.

Sealy Posturepedic Encore Ultra Plush Hotel Mattress.

Ron writes:

 

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 Hybrid Mattress | The Mattress Expert All Mattresses are Freshly Made to Fill Your Order. Approx. Delivery Wait Time: 1 to 2 Weeks. FedEx or UPS Delivery to the Front Door. Delivery is Free and There’s NO Sales Tax. themattressexpert.com

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.

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.

Mattress at Aloft Hotel in Sarasota FL.

Chris writes:

 

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.
