Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress from 2006.

Alexa writes:

Hi Pete,

In 2006 we purchased a Simmons Imogine Super Pillowtop king mattress set and we love it. We need to purchase another mattress and would like to find one very similar to the Imogine. We use a heated mattress pad so it is my understanding that we should not have memory foam in our mattress. Can you give us the name of a current Simmons equivalent. 

Thank you, Alexa

 

Hi Alexa,

Simmons was sold, 10 years after you bought yours.

The upholstery materials changed, and not for the better.

There is no equivalent to yours anymore.

Everything that is now produced by the owners of Simmons is upholstered with memory foam. They have nothing worth buying.

Thanks, Pete - TME

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your quick response.

What would you recommend that would be most like what I have?

Thanks, Alexa

 

Hi Alexa,

What you have uses an individually pocketed coil system, which maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine. 

THIS, is what has always made a Beautyrest so popular.

And while you can find that with a nice, comfy pillowtop, you won’t find a pillowtop mattress that will produce the same longevity.

Today’s pillowtops lose their comfort and shape much too quickly.

So, in order to most closely mimic what you have in terms of support, comfort AND longevity, my recommendation will come in two parts.

 

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss in Medium Firm will supply you with the same type of support that you’ve been used to getting.

Add to that, a Latex for Less 3” Soft Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Topper…a removable pillowtop…for a  luxurious surface feel. Together, you’ll get the support, comfort and longevity that you want.

A Mattress to Relieve Lower Back and Hip Pain, Bulging Discs.

Dianne writes:

Hi Pete,

Your honest advice is the best I've found out there in the impossible mattress world. I suffer with lower back pain, a bulging discs and hip pain. I am a mostly a side sleeper. I was considering a S&F mattress that I tried in a store. It felt great. I almost fell asleep after lying on it for 10 minutes. I see you suggest getting tight top and purchasing a topper separately. All the posts I have seen are from resent purchases. Which mattress would you suggest for lasting support?

Best Regards, Dianne 

 

Hi Dianne,

Stearns & Foster had been considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades until 10+ years ago.

S&F had been owned by Sealy for many years, until 2013 when Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic. They also acquired S&F in the deal. Since then, the upholstery materials switched to memory foam. Today, S&F makes nothing worth buying.

Memory foam has proven to be the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented…purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…not to mention the chemical off gassing,  sleeping hot and the sinking in that actually causes back pain due to causing your body to become misaligned.

Memory foam is extremely misleading. It comfortable at first. But loses its resiliency in very short order.

You’ll be wasting your money.

 

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is my recommendation.

The individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. The Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Upholstery provides long lasting comfort.

Are $10K Kluft Mattresses Really Worth the Price?

Natalie writes:

Hi Pete

The KLUFT Mattresses over $10k…are they really worth the price?

Specifically this one:

Still searching for a great mattress...

Thanks, Natalie

 

Hi Natalie,

A mattress is a utilitarian product, specifically designed to provide you with a good night’s sleep….not that most of today’s mattresses do that for as long as they once did. But still, no one needs to spend that kind of money to get a mattress that does give you a quality night’s sleep & the longevity you’d expect.

Thanks, Pete 

 

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

 

Pete, I agree. 

What would you recommend, from your selection, that is a luxury firm top of the line made with the best of the best materials and won't sag on me in two years time?

Natalie

 

Natalie, a mattress is made of pressure sensitive materials.

How well it wears over time, depends on the quality of the materials used and the pressure being exerted upon it.

“Top of the line” mattresses were never a good value, as they have too much upholstery, which is more easily compressed.

Top line mattresses are often sold as a luxury product.

And while you do need enough upholstery to provide comfort, indulging in the industry’s attempts to sell you a utilitarian product as a luxury item always results in a shorter lifespan.

 

Before recommending an appropriate mattress, I have some questions.

What are the sizes, (heights and weights), of the people using the mattress?

What are the ages of the people?

What physical ailments are there to address, if any?

What are you sleeping on now? What’s wrong with it?

Pete

Pete,

Our sizes:

5'9 - 150 lbs

5'6 - 130 lbs

Physical ailments:

No physical ailments but my husband often complains of shoulder and back pain after sleeping on our mattress: 

BISCAYNE BEDDING TAVERNIER 14" PLUSH MATTRESS

 

My husband says it’s awful. It dips and sags and is not firm enough.

He wakes up aches and pains, and he sleeps hot. He doesn’t like it

Natalie 

 

Natalie, I don’t blame him.

What’s wrong with your mattress is what’s wrong with most mattresses being made these days…the memory foam.

While promoted as the best thing since sliced bread, it’s actually the worst upholstery material ever invented…specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Memory foam is the only temperature sensitive upholstery material.

It softens as it warms from the heat your bodies give off, causing you to sink into it. At first, it’s fairly comfortable. But, it’s not very resistant.

After only a short time, you’re sinking much to far, throwing off the natural alignment of your body and spine…causing pain.

The other side effects are: sleeping hot and creating the inability to change position without half waking up to do it.

Some of the memory foam is cured or plant based, but most is chemical based and not cured, which results in toxic chemical off gassing evidenced by an unpleasant odor…especially when new.

 

Your ages and sizes mitigate in your favor. 

My recommendation is for a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system.

These coils are the body’s support…providing an upward, independent suspension type of support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine.

Pure, hypoallergenic and organic latex (not made in China) is and has been the best upholstery material for more than 100 years.

Split King Mattresses for our Bed and Breakfast Inn.

Hi Pete,

I need split king mattresses for our Bed and Breakfast Inn. 

I want a pocketed coil with medium firm feel on one side of the mattresses and softer on the other side.

I need mattresses that are easy to make and reconfigure as needed for various clients.

Hope you can help.

Regards, Vicky

Pure Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Topper.

Mary writes:

Hi Pete,

I contacted you many years ago.

I had a mattress that was too firm and was looking for a more comfortable mattress. You talked me into making that mattress more comfortable by adding a soft latex mattress topper, instead of buying another new mattress.

 

I ended up with 3” Talalay Latex.

I can’t thank you enough for steering me right.

Here it is, 10 years later, and I’m back to get a new latex topper.

Not only did the topper make my too firm mattress comfortable, but that mattress is still like new…just what you said would happen.

 

I’ve actually needed a new topper since late last year.

I shopped your website, but then found what seemed to be the same thing online for half the price. So, I’m sorry to say I bought it.

Here it is, barely 6 months later, and it has deep body impressions and it’s not as comfortable as it was at first.

The one I bought for you remained comfortable for many years.

 

What do you recommend for me? And, why was that last one so short lived?

Thanks again, Mary

 

Hi Mary,

The Suite Sleep 3” Pure Vita Talalay or the 3” Organic Dunlop will work.

The Talalay is slightly softer than the Dunlop.

 

What went wrong with that last one?…Latex made in China.

China processes latex with clay as a filler.

Clay is a natural substance, so they’re sold an all natural, even organic latex.

The clay makes it a lot cheaper to produce and why it was such a short time.

It costs about half, but lasts only a fraction of time…a very poor value for the money.

My grandfather used to tell me, “Solo il meglio”, which translates into “Only the best”. He knew, and taught me, that quality is less expensive in the long run.

 

Our Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Toppers are the highest quality latex available anywhere on the planet. Expensive? Yes! Both worth every dollar.

Here’s a link to those toppers.

They don't make mattresses the way they used to.

Rick writes:

 

Hello Pete, 

I understand they don't make mattresses the way they used to. 

I see the wide range of hybrid products which represent good options. 

Is there anything out there at any price that most closely resembles the mattresses of yesterday? 

Thank you, Rick

 

Hi Rick,

That depends on to which yesterday you are referring.

Let’s go back to the pre memory foam, pre one-sided mattress, no memory foam, polyurethane foam upholstery era, which began in the early 1970’s to around the turn of the century.

It was shortly after this time when mattress quality started to slide.

 

Oddly enough, a mattress made as those had been made isn’t very expensive.

There are a couple of reasons why this type of mattress doesn’t cost a lot.

The main reason is that there’s no advertising of them…an otherwise huge expense that needs to be recovered at the retail level. In fact, this type of mattress is the least expensive we carry.

The FedEx delivery is another reason for the lack of dollars needed.

 

The way you posed your question suggests the common mindset of, “The more it costs, the better it must be”…which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices for: 

The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress, providing an individually pocketed coil system for proper spinal alignment, and Certi-Pur Certified safe foams for no off gassing.

To be clear, this is NOT a yesterday mattress...there aren't any!

This is, however, a good quality basic mattress that provides good support, comfort and longevity.

Which Simmons Beautyrest Mattress do you recommend?

Mary writes:

 

Hi Pete,

In an older post you recommended a Simmons Beautyrest Platinum mattress, that is now discontinued.

Which of the "Harmony" Beautyrest mattresses you would suggest now? 

We like the idea of the mattress without the pillow top and adding the latex topper. 

We currently have a Kluft mattress which feels and sleeps like a brick. 

I can hardly lift it to put the sheet on, so we are anxious to find a good substitute.

My husband is 5'10" 125 lbs and I am 5' 128 lbs.

Thanks for your help, Mary

 

Hi Mary,

Since Simmons was sold to an investment group, they’ve changed the upholstery to the same cheap memory foam all of the other name brands are using. If fact, that same investment group that bought Simmons also bought Serta.

Sealy and Stearns & Foster are now owned by Tempurpedic.

 

Common memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. 

That’s less of a problem for people who weight a little as the two of you.

But, the highly toxic chemical off gassing of the memory foam is something that will affect you negatively.

 We no longer recommend any name brand mattress to anyone for those reasons.

 

What I’m recommending for you is the same mattress my wife and I have been sleeping on for many years.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush (comfy, but not as soft as it sounds)

Click on this link to view specifications and prices.

https://www.themattressexpert.com/store/p142/Natura_Greenspring_Liberta_Ultra_Plush.html#/

This mattress uses the same coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest.

Stronger coils than what Simmons uses.

The upholstery is latex and poly foams…which had been used in older Beautyrest mattresses.

Simmons Beautyrest, Saatva Mattresses Gave Me Severe Back Pain.

Robert writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I recently purchased a couple of different mattresses.

One was a Simmons Beautyrest extra firm, and a Saatva innerspring firm mattress.

Both mattresses gave me severe back pain.

The Simmons Beautyrest mattress was too hard on my back and gave me severe back pain after 30 days.

The Saatva mattress kind of sunk in the middle after 40-45 days of use.

I am on the heavier side, around 235 pounds with 6 ft in height.

 

I read on your blog about the latex mattresses and its benefits.  

What are some of your recommendations in this category?  

I am really looking for a mattress that can alleviate the back pain.

 

I saw from your website, that latex mattress can be full latex or can be hybrid (innerspring and latex). 

How do I choose between these two categories?

For folks on the heavier side, such as me, what is your best recommendation?

Thanks for your advice!

Best, Robert

 

Hi Robert,

There is much more to choosing a mattress than simply the degree of firmness and softness.

To listen to all the advertising and sales pitches, you'd think that today's mattresses are all high quality. 

They aren't.

In fact, none of the name brands are made well enough to hold a large person for any length of time much beyond a year, or so.

The product in these mattresses that causes them to fail, is the memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam is a dream material, enhancing profits for the manufacturers and retailers, by causing mattresses to need frequent replacing...creating a nightmare for the consumer.

Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat.

Being so, memory foam will fail under people a lot lighter in weight than you.

To make a successful long term purchase, you must avoid mattresses with memory foam in them.

 

You're on the right track, with looking at latex. 

But, an all foam mattress...even one made entirely of high quality latex, may or may not be right for you.

What an all foam mattress does not provide, is push back support against your spine.

If you have any disc related back problems, you'd be better off with an innerspring mattress that's upholstered with latex...for the support worn discs require. This condition is more common, the older and heavier we are.

I, too, have several disc problems, being both, older and on the heavy side.

 

An innerspring and latex mattress is best for you, the best made is:

Natura of Canada Greenspring.

My wife and I sleep on the Ultra Plush model.

I have a number of disc problems in my back. Yet, I sleep and wake without back pain.
