What's the best mattress for the least amount of money?

Jason writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I find myself needing a new mattress, yet again, at a time when I can hardly afford to buy one.

Over the last few years, I've followed the hype and have gotten screwed.

After finding your blog, I now know why.

Now, with gas, food and rent higher, I can't afford a top line mattress.

So, what's the best mattress for the least amount of money?

Thanks, Jason

 

Hi Jason,

As you must now know, it's been the memory foam in your previous mattresses that have caused them to fail.

So, any mattress without memory foam in it will be better than what you've previously purchased.

To your question, the Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress in Plush is the Best for the Least.

The individually pocketed coils are strong, made of double tempered steel. And the coil count is high.

The upholstery is plant based poly foam.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress, and NO Chemical Off-Gassing.

A Mattress and Latex Topper for heavy people on a budget.

Debra writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

My husband and I are looking to buy a new mattress. 

We are trying to decide between an all latex mattress or a good innerspring mattress with a 3" latex topper. 

We are both heavy People and I have severe fibromyalgia. 

Our budget is tight, but we want to get the best solution for our problems. 

Thanks, Debra

 

Hi Debra,

The innerspring with a soft latex topper will address all of your problems...do so long term, and cost less.

The best buy for a mattress that is supportive and long lasting is The Jessica Mattress.

The individually pocketed coils are made of heavy, double tempered steel, which promotes proper spinal alignment.

An Extra Firm Mattress like my old Simmons Beautyrest World Class.

Richard writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a 67 year old fireman.  

I have had a back injury that is now getting worse with my age.  

Which line of extra firm inner coil mattresses would you recommend?  

I have had a Simmons Beautyrest Worldclass extra firm mattress for the past 15 years. It has done me well.

Today, it is sagging and needs to be replaced.

Please give me your recommendations.

Thanks, Richard

 

Hi Richard,

Simmons makes nothing as good as what they made back then.

The investment group that bought Simmons has put profits ahead of quality.

 

An individually pocketed coil system with a high coil count, heavy gauge double tempered steel and firm upholstery that isn’t memory foam will best match what you’re replacing.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress has everything you’re looking for.

Sleeping on a 12 year old Westin Heavenly Bed Mattress.

Geoff writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have read a lot about choosing mattress type and firmness based on a person's weight and sleep position. 

The information is all based on individual sleepers and never addresses any special considerations for couples.

 

My wife and I are both 63 years old, physically fit and active. 

We are currently sleeping on a 12 year old Westin Heavenly Bed Mattress. 

I am 5'11", 162lbs and a side and back sleeper who has begun suffering pressure point problems in both shoulders. My wife is 5'9", 107lb and a strict side sleeper with no current pressure point problems.

 

We sleep on a queen bed and spend a lot of time spooned tightly together front to back. 

But we also spend time apart particularly when shoulder pain drives me onto my back or it is too warm to be cuddled together.

 

So, while my wife is in the <130lbs petite category and I am in the 130lb - 230lb average category, when we are spooned together, we fall in the >230lb large category.

 

What does this mean for choosing a firmness and support level? 

Everything I read would suggest a soft (4 - 5) firmness for my wife, a medium (5 - 6) for me and more like a medium firm/firm (6.5 - 7.5) to gain the support required for our combined weight to maintain spinal alignment when spooned together.

 

Any insight you can provide on how to think this through and select the best firmness level would be appreciated.

I would also be interested in any specific bed recommendations you might put forward.

Thank you in advance, Geoff

 

Hi Geoff,

Frankly, you’re over thinking this.

A good strong individually pocketed coil unit will provide the contouring support any body needs for proper spinal alignment.

A soft latex mattress topper will provide the surface comfort you need to sleep deeply.

Rotating your new mattress on a regular basis will cause the mattress to wear evenly, providing long lasting support and comfort for both of you.

 

The mattress I’m recommending is the Wolf Jessica.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress/the-jessica/

 

Add to that a Suite Sleep 2” or 3” Soft Organic Latex Topper.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

 

The 2” provides excellent comfort and longevity.

The 3” provides a more luxurious surface feel, but wears faster.

Both last for years…more years with the 2”.

 

Delivery is FREE and there’s NO Sales Tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Looking for a high quality mattress to replace my old Stearns and Foster.

Cathy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a high quality mattress to replace my 15 year old Stearns and Foster.

I had written to you a 5 years back about this, when I thought it was time to replace that mattress.

You convinced me to get a latex topper instead, which I did.

You were right! It worked like a charm! The comfort it gave me was delicious!

I did as you suggested and first used the latex topper on top of the mattress.

After about a year, I flipped this one sided mattress over and added the latex topper back.

That gave me a few more years.

It was a great idea and a great value.

The latex topper is still good, but the mattress no longer provides adequate support.

 

Now, it's past time to replace that mattress.

What do you recommend for people on the heavy side and are used to the quality of an old S&F mattress?

Thanks, Cathy

 

Hi Cathy,

We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer at the time you bought yours.

We gave up those lines when they were bought by Tempurpedic in 2013.

In January of 2014, Everything with a S&F label was poisoned with memory foam.

S&F went from being "The Cadillac of the Industry" to nothing more than expensive junk over night.

 

All that sent us to the Industry trade shows to find a suitable replacement.

We found that with the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

In fact, the specifications exceed that of S&F mattresses prior to being sold.

The coil count is higher. The coils are stronger, and the upholstery is natural latex...superior to the upholstery materials commonly used 15 years ago.

 

I was so impressed, that I ordered one for my wife and I.

We've had ours for more than 7 years, and it's still in like new condition...with each of us over 200 lbs.

We purchased the Ultra Plush model.

Due to the high quality of the components, this mattress is nowhere near as soft as it sounds.

In fact, we added a soft latex topper to ours to cushion my wife's sensitive hip.

So, you'll be able to continue to use the latex topper you have. 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is my recommendation for you.

Need advice.

Karen writes:

Hi Pete,

I’m looking for your best advice.

Thanks, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

Here’s some sage advice I got from Robin Williams.

Never buy gribenes from a mohel.
I hope that helps.

Thanks, Pete

 

Hi Pete,

I have no clue as to what that means, but the advice I need is for a mattress.

Karen

 

Hi Karen,

That narrows it down quite a bit.

 

Maintaining proper spinal alignment and staying away from mattresses upholstered with memory foam is my best mattress advice.

The Wolf Brolynn Old fashioned Two Sided Mattress is a fine example.

The individually pocketed coil system insures proper spinal alignment.

The coil count is high. The heavier gauge, double tempered steel coils provide long lasting support. The upholstery is natural, plant based polyurethane foam.

There’s no chemical off gassing and no memory foam.

It’s one of the best values on the market.

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

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

Shown here, are 2 quality models from which to choose.

Sealy mattress has made me very ill from the toxic fumes and chemicals.

Kelly writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My Sealy mattress has made me very ill from the toxic fumes and chemicals. 

I finally figured it out and threw it away. It was only a year old. 

It's now three days later, and I am feeling much better. 

Hopefully I won't get cancer.
Kelly

 

Good Morning Kelly,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

You should be made aware of what it was that caused your problem.

It's the memory foam upholstery that off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

All of the major brands have been sold to investors and all are using the same toxic memory foam to upholster their mattresses.

Simply switching brands to another name brand, that you once could trust to make a quality mattress, will end with the same result.

 

If you are in need of a good quality mattress that has NO Memory Foam in it, click on this link:

The Wolf line of mattresses, established in 1873, is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been owned and operated by the same family...the Wolf family.

They make an excellent quality products, and at surprisingly reasonable prices.

Which Latex Topper for a Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress?

Brain writes:

 

Hi Pete:

I've decided that our next mattress will be the "Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress" 

We're coming from an old "luxury firm" S&F and it sounds like this is a best option.

I'm really struggling as to what type of latex topper to get. 

I've never had a topper before, but I've read lots of good things about them. 

I'm wondering about the brands, which thickness, and even which comfort level? 

I had no idea toppers had so many options.

I'm 6'4" around 285, wife is 190 and 5'9" -- we're in our mid-40s.

Can you make some specific recommendations?

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,

Brian

 

Hi Brian,

You have to be careful with latex toppers. The quality can vary greatly.

Over the past several years, latex made in China has become available and popular due to the lower prices. The prices are low because the Chinese use clay as a filler when they make the latex foam.

Clay is a natural material, so it’s sold as all natural latex…not bothering to mention the clay. 

It does not wear well.

 

Used on a Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress, 2” of Soft or Plush latex topper is what to get.

You wouldn’t want it firm.

The best value is the Pure Bliss Blended Latex Topper.

The most popular is the Suite Sleep Organic Latex Topper.

Both shown here:

This is what we sleep on at home.

What mattress is most like Westin Heavenly Bed?

Janet writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What mattress is most like Westin heavenly bed, please!

Is it less expensive?

Thanks very much, Janet

 

Hi Janet,

The Westin Heavenly Bed is a Simmons Beautyrest.

The Wolf Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress is what I’d recommend.

The individually pocketed coil system is the same as in the Simmons Beautyrest, but the coils are stronger.

The upholstery is better, using latex and polyurethane foams.

There is no memory foam in this mattress and no chemical off gassing.

Simmons Beautyrest mattresses have memory foam and off gas the toxic chemical from which memory foam is made.

Several of my family members sleep on this mattress.

Old two sided, flippable Simmons Beautyrest mattress.

Lucy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My 12 year old daughter has an old two sided, flippable Simmons Beautyrest mattress, that she loves.

We are changing her bed from a twin to a full size, and she wants the same exact mattress.

Upon doing some research, that mattress is no longer being made.

What do you recommend that she will like as well?

Thanks, Lucy

 

Hi Lucy,

Not even from Simmons, is that mattress available.

Since being sold to investors, all Simmons mattresses are now upholstered with memory foam.

Her old Beautyrest has no memory foam in it...which is why she liked it for so long.

The Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Brolynn Mattress is extremely close in specifications to her old Beautyrest.

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

 

The individually pocketed coils provide the same support your daughter is used to. 

The upholstery material in this mattress is the same type that was used in her old Beautyrest.

The support is already firm, regardless of how you order it.

But, for a teenage female, I recommend the plush. It won't be too soft.
