The Mattress Expert

19 year old Queen Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Becky writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My Grandson has my 19 year old Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and is having best sleeps of his life. I moved to small apartment and gave that to him.

At 72 with multiple injuries from over the years, I knew I needed the best bed I could find. The first mattress they sold me was Simmons Seagull Granite. 

I have not slept one night without waking with aching back. 

The next one they're sending me is a Kingstown firm. 

So please tell me, before it comes, is it going to be any better? 

I have spent over 2000.00 

Thanks, Becky

 

 

 

Hi Becky,

I’m afraid not.

Your grandson’s mattress doesn’t have memory foam in it.

All of the major brands that could once be trusted to make a quality mattress have been sold to investors. The same investment group that bought Simmons also bought Serta.

Almost all of today’s mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.

In order to make a successful purchase, you’ll need to buy a mattress with no memory foam in it.

 

What made the Beautyrest so good at relieving back pain is the individually pocketed coil system that contours to the body and maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

But, that coil system is rendered worthless when the upholstery material is memory foam.

 

Here is a link to an old fashioned two sided mattress that use a pocketed coil unit and has no memory foam.

The Wolf Brolynn Mattress in Plush will provide the firm, contouring support for your back and a comfortable sleeping surface that is not too soft.

A Long-Lasting Mattress to Relieve Chronic Back Pain.

A Long-Lasting Mattress to Relieve Chronic Back Pain

 

There is no better support for relieving chronic back pain than an Individually Pocketed Coil Mattress.

The coils move independently from one another.

Unlike foam or air mattresses, the pushback support keeps your spine in its proper, natural alignment.

 

Most of today's innerspring mattress use this type of coil system.

Unfortunately, almost all of them are also using memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam allows your body to sink, which throws off your spine's natural alignment, which then negates the benefits of the individually pocketed coil support.

 

The key to any successful mattress purchase is to avoid mattresses upholstered with memory foam.

A poor-quality upholstery material, memory foam also off gasses the toxic chemicals for which it's made.

 

Here are links to our Wolf mattresses using an Individually Pocketed Coil and upholstered with Natural, Plant Based Polyurethane Foam. There is NO Memory Foam in these, nor in any products show on our website.

Wolf is a long-respected mattress manufacturer, established in 1873.

An extra firm mattress with no memory foam.

Mark writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am looking for an extra firm mattress with no memory foam or gel.  

I would prefer it to be about 10” thick, to make it easy to rotate.

Thanks, Mark

 

Hi Mark,

None of our mattresses have memory foam in them.

The firmest mattress, we carry, is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices.

https://themattressexpert.com/greenspring-liberty-firm-mattress/

“carpeted floor” is a good way to describe the feel. It’s quite hard.

As you’ll notice, it’s a couple of inches thicker than desired.

 

The Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Brandy-Lynn Mattress is the thickness you’re looking for….shown here: https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

While not what I’d call, “down right hard”, it’s an extra firm by most people’s standards.

Part of the feel of a mattress comes from the foundation that supports it.

 

The Natura mattress is as hard as it is, in part, due to the matching foundation.

The Natura mattress comes with white glove delivery.

The Wolf mattress arrives via ups.

Either way, delivery is free.

 

If going with the Wolf mattress, it would be helpful to see the foundation you’re using.

Or, you can buy a new foundation for it at:

Costco, Sam’s Club and Big Lots.

These places have the best prices for strong foundations.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Ann writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I see you have a lot of mattresses by Natura and another brand. 

I am wondering why the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what you often recommend.  

I, too, am over 200 lbs, 63 years old, but working on reducing that to save my knees and overall health. 

I have osteopenia (precursor of osteoporosis) and have started breaking things in falls.   

I feel like if I can get better sleep, it will be easier to work on everything else.  

I also have a DDD, degenerative disc disease.

 

Is that mattress as close as it gets (with better lasting power) to that Sealy Artesia HD I slept on so well? 

Or would you recommend a different mattress? 

Right now, apart from that Marriott bed, I sleep better on a large air mattress, very full, than on most mattresses, and my couch is also better than most beds.  

I have changed hotels in the past just due to mattress discomfort in the middle of a trip!  

I'm inclined to try what you recommend, in a twin, to see if it works as a replacement in a guest bedroom. 

Then go from there to a queen in my bedroom if I sleep well on the twin.  

(is there a difference, do you think, between the twin and queen?)  

And is there another mattress you would recommend instead of the Natura Greenspring Ultra-plush?

Best regards, Ann

 

Good Morning Ann,

What caused you to sleep so well on that hotel mattress is the individually pocketed coils that contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

What that mattress didn’t have is what most of today’s mattresses have…memory foam upholstery. It’s the memory foam in most mattresses that causes you to sleep poorly.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush has that coil system and is upholstered with natural, hypoallergenic latex…which is far more resilient than memory foam.

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

Due to the high quality of the components, this mattress does have a firmer feel than the designation of “Ultra Plush” sounds.

The feel will be a bit firmer in a Twin size than a Queen size, due to area size.

 

If the feel is firmer that you like, you can always add a soft latex topper.

Which topper would depend on how much extra softness you what…something you won’t know until after you’ve slept on it for a few nights.

 

This is the best choice for someone of your size, age and physical condition.

Delivery is free

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Innerspring with latex vs. an all latex mattress.

Paula writes:

Hi Pete,

Please help me decide between an innerspring with latex vs. an all latex mattress.

How do I know which is best for me?

Thanks, Paula

 

Hi Paula,

Pure, All-Natural, Hypoallergenic Latex Foam is and has been the best upholstery material available for the past 100 years. All latex mattresses tend to be the longest lasting of any type of mattress.

An innerspring mattress provides pushback support against your spine, which no all foam mattress can do.

 

As we age, the discs between the vertebrae in our spines wear.

It's at this point that the support from an innerspring mattress becomes important.

Having a desk job, where you spend a lot of time sitting can make that age younger.

Also, damage to the back due to accidents and/or physically demanding sports can make this type of mattress necessary. That said, after the age of 50, it's a good bet that this type of mattress is necessary.

The best of these mattresses is the Natura of Canada Greenspring, with the Ultra Plush model being the most comfortable...that line of mattresses, shown here. 

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

When your younger, physically fit, and have sustained no back damage, an all latex mattress is ideal.

In fact, it's the absolute best mattress for a child to grow up on.

Over the years, I've heard from many people who had grown up on latex mattresses, who then rued the day they bought anything else. 

The Natura of Canada Latex Mattresses are top quality...shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-mattresses/natura-latex-level-2-mattress/

Either way, Delivery is FREE.

 

Caveat: Latex produced in China have fillers that cause rapid wear.

Be sure that the latex you're buying is not imported from China. 

(Common among West Coast Mattress Manufacturers)

Back pain on an all latex mattress.

Chrissy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have an all latex mattress, and I wake up with my back in pain.

All the research I did, told me that an all latex mattress was the best you could buy.

So, why does my back hurt?

We bought the mattress on-line, and it came in sections. I've rearranged those sections numerous times.

I just can't seem to find a combination that doesn't cause me pain.

To complicate matters, I have fibromyalgia, which does feel better with this mattress.

But I can't live with the back pain.

What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?

I thought latex was supposed to be the best.

We are average size people, so excessive weight isn't an issue for us.

I appreciate your guidance.

Thanks, Chrissy

 

Hi Chrissy,

You can't fix that. Let me help you complete you research. There were a number of things you missed.

The first thing is to know what's going on with your body.

It's likely that you have some disc problems in your spine that have yet to be diagnosed.

It's a common problem that develops with age...along with a number of other causes.

You need to have that checked out!

 

Latex is, in fact, the best of the foams.

Many of these latex mattresses in pieces, that you can find on line, are made in China.

Much of the latex that comes from China has clay added as a filler.

Since clay is a natural material, the mattresses are sold as "all natural".

However, adding clay to the mix, reduces the comfort, resiliency and longevity of the latex.

Chinese latex is, typically, the worst of all the latex available.

Even so, it's better than memory foam, which is the absolute worst upholstery material.

 

That said, latex...even the highest quality latex...has something in common with all other foams.

Even the best latex does not have the necessary push back support for disc related back problems.

The best type of support is an individually pocketed coil.

Mattresses using that type of coil system and natural latex (not from China), is the best you can do.

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

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Keep the softest layer of what you have to add to this mattress for your fibromyalgia.

Mattresses in a Box?

Jack writes:

Hi Pete,

I've purchased and returned 2 mattresses that came in a box.

I see you recommend Wolf mattresses, which also come rolled up in a box.

My experience tells me not to do that again. And yet, here you are recommending that.

What's up with that?!

Jack

 

Hello Jack,

The problems you've had in the past are not due to the box. 

Your problems have been due to the quality of the mattresses.

Wolf makes a very fine, high quality line of mattresses.

They've been making mattresses since 1873, so they aren't a fly by night new comer.

I've been selling their mattresses for the past 8 years and have yet to have a customer complaint.

The high quality of the mattress components is what makes them so reliable.

What type of mattress is best for herniated discs?

Kristi writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I want your opinion on what type of mattress is best for me.  I am 44 yrs. old, 185 pounds.

I am typically an active person and actually teach dance.  

I have suffered over the last 5 years due to my dancing and I now have 3 herniated discs in my lower back.  

I have had a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge mattress for about 8 years now. 

For the first few years it was comfortable, but now, not so much!  

I've done a lot of research on the mattress industry and what a scam it is!  I'm frustrated!  

I want a mattress that gives me support with no gimmicks.  

Thank you, Kristi

 

Hi Kristi,

I have several disc related back problems, including herniated discs.

The mattress my wife and I sleep on allows me to sleep and wake without back pain, which is now more than several years old and still in like new condition…and that’s with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

That same mattress will work for you on a long term basis.

 

The latex upholstery is partly responsible for the longevity and is also the best material available for relieving tired and sore muscles.

The coil system is the same type used in a Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is much higher and stronger than those used by Simmons.

 

I’m recommending the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

Deciding between the Wolf Brolynn and Natura Greenspring mattresses.

Rosie writes:

 

Good morning, Pete.

I'm having trouble deciding between the Wolf Brolynn and Natura Greenspring mattresses.

The Wolf Brolynn Mattress sounds like a great choice. 

I don’t understand your warning, “If you can accept UPS delivery”. 

Is there a problem with that type of delivery? 

Is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress delivered in a different or better way?

 

Thanks, Rosie

 

Hi Rosie,

The Brolynn is a well made mattress and an exceptional value because of the UPS delivery. 

The mattress is shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed.

That box is left at your front door. This requires you to bring it in and unpack it.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are more elaborately made, as well as higher quality and can’t be shipped via ups. They arrive via a local delivery company, brought in and setup in your bedroom.

 

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

 

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

 

 

Choosing is a question of economics, as is most things these days.

If the price of the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress isn’t a stumbling block, it is well worth the difference in price.

If cost is a factor, the Wolf Brolynn is an excellent buy.

Either way, Delivery is FREE and there's NO Sales Tax.
