The Mattress Expert

We Bought the Same Mattress and Topper that The Expert Sleeps on and Absolutely Love It!

Hi Pete,

We bought the same mattress and topper that The Mattress Expert sleeps on, a few years ago, and have absolutely loved sleeping on it.

I’d like to get the same exact thing for our Summer home.

Are those items still available? I need the whole setup…frame and boxspring included…or, maybe a platform bed. Do you have all of those?

Thanks, so much, for the great night’s sleep we’re getting.

Melissa & Jerry

 

Hi Guys,

Welcome Back. I’m happy to hear that you’re sleeping so well.

That same mattress that my wife and I have, we’ve had for 10.5 years now and it’s still in great condition. We’re still sleeping well on it.

It’s a very long lasting, supportive and comfortable sleep system.

 

You’ll be pleased to know that the items you have and want to reproduce are still available…the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress and the Suite Sleep 3” Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper.

Here are links to both:

https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper/32

For a foundation and bed frame, we have excellent choices.

The Magniflex KD Foundation comes in your choice of height and color.

The Rize Bed Frame is very strong and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Here are links to both:

If you prefer a platform bed instead, these (also from Rize) will give you a dressier look for your bedroom…available in your choice of 4 colors:

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.

Why Are Mattresses So Expensive? What’s Best?

John writes:

Hi Pete,

Why are mattresses so expensive?

I’ve wasted thousands of dollars on mattresses, only to have them last for only a couple of years. When I complained, I was told they weren’t defective.

Granted, I’m a heavy guy (250 lbs.), but only a couple of years.

I remember having a mattress in the past that lasted a decade.

What’s the best mattress for a big man?

Thanks for any help, John

 

Hi John,

To answer your first question, for the most part it’s advertising.

Advertising is very expensive. Anything that is heavily advertised will be much more expensive than it’s worth. After all, it’s you who ends up paying for all that advertising.

So many mattresses only last a short while due to the memory foam upholstery, which is purposefully designed to need frequent replacing.

Not only that, it sleeps hot and off gases the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made, which is why it smells so bad.

Memory foam is a lousy product…the worst upholstery material ever invented.

It’s THEE thing to avoid.

 

The Best? The Natura Greenspring Mattresses, which comes in 4 choices of comfort and with white glove delivery.

My wife and I each weigh more than 200 lbs. Our Natura Greenspring mattress is their softest, (ultra plush). It’s 10.5 years old now, and still in great condition.

The natural latex upholstery and extremely high coil count accounts for the longevity.

Here’s a link to that line of mattresses:

A Mattress to Relieve Sciatica Back Pain.

Jessie writes,

Hi Pete,

I suffer with sciatica and my back pain is almost constant.

I went to buy a new mattress, hoping that would help.

I told the salesman about my sciatica and he recommended a Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress, which I bought.

I’ve had this mattress for 2 weeks now. At first, my sciatica was a little better, which gave me hope. But my pain has gotten worse to the point where the pain is worse than ever.

What happened? What do I do now? We aren’t heavy people. I don’t understand why the salesman would recommend this mattress for me. And, it sleeps hot.

Thanks, Jessie

 

Hi Jessie,

An all foam mattress doesn’t provide the pushback support against your back needed to keep your spine in its proper alignment, which is the key to relieving your sciatica.

What’s more, of all the foams used in this industry, memory foam is the worst of them. Memory foam is the only temperature sensitive foam available. As memory foam warms from your body’s heat, it softens, which allows the heavier parts of your body to sink, which only serves to exasperate your condition.

 

Your salesman knows nothing about anatomy and is trained to sell that mattress above all others because the profit margins are so high and his commission is greater. Misleading you, as he did, should be a criminal offense.

 

First thing…return that worthless hunk of junk.

The mattress you need must have an individually pocketed coil system that provides an upward, independent suspension type of support.

THIS is what will relieve your sciatica pain.

It’s equally important that the mattress NOT be upholstered with memory foam.

 

Of all the foams used, latex is and has been the best…true for the last 100 years.

It’s extremely comfortable and won’t allow you to sink. And it doesn’t sleep hot.

 

My recommendation is the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress, which has everything you need to relieve your pain on a long term basis.

 

This eco-friendly hybrid pairs pure, organic latex with premium encased coils made from recycled steel, giving you the support you need with materials that are better for the Earth. From the naturally cool sleep surface to its minimal-waste production, this mattress proves you don’t have to choose between luxury and sustainability.

 

PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is available in a choice of comfort.

 

Featuring:

Individually pocketed coils for proper spinal alignment.

Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Upholstery for an unparalleled, luxurious surface comfort that lasts for many years.

 

These are the mattresses we recommend for average weight people.

Medium for those on the lighter side of average.

Medium Firm for those on the heavier side of average.

Medium Firm for anyone on either side of average, who may also have pre-existing back pain.

 

This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial and is currently On Sale. 

Payment plans available, including PayPal.

Severe Sciatica Pain on a Casper Memory Foam Mattress.

Charlie writes:

Hi Pete, 

I have a very expensive Casper memory foam mattress, and an inoperable slipped disc that my sciatic nerve rubs against.  

I wake up every morning with severe nerve pain running down my leg. Thought I would just have to live with it, until this past weekend when we went to a resort hotel. 

I woke up the first morning with no pain. Second morning, third morning, no pain. Then came home. Next morning the pain was back.

I looked at the mattress in the resort hotel. It was a Sealy Posturepedic 700 Plush. Seeing some of your responses, I learned that is a low level hotel mattress. 

What would be the same to my back that I would want to purchase? You mention a Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Level 7, is that what I would ask for at a furniture store? Or is there a better way to select the proper mattress? 

Laying on it in the store for 5 minutes just is not good enough! 

I and my back, anxiously await your advice!

Thanks, Charlie

 

Hi Charlie,

Your sciatica back pain is only made worse by the memory foam in your mattress.

An all foam mattress of any type doesn’t provide the pushback support against your spine that will relieve your pain…with memory foam being the worst of them.

 

The Sealy mattresses you mentioned are discontinued.

Sealy is now owned by TempurPedic. 

So now, every Sealy is upholstered with memory foam.

 

My recommendation is the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm.

The firm, individually pocketed coils provide the support you need to maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine, which will eliminate your sciatica pain.

The upholstery is pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex foam, which is far superior to memory foam…of which there is none in this mattress.

A Mattress for a 500 Lb. Man.

Herman writes:

Hi Pete,

I weigh 500 lbs., and have had a difficult time finding a mattress that lasts longer than a year. I’ve been reading your blog posts and was wondering if you still recommend the Natura Greenspring mattresses for people my size.

If so, which model? I also need a boxspring a frame.

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Herman

 

Hi Herman,

We’ve had many customers your size, over the years.

The sleep system that has worked well for all of them is:

The Natura Greenspring Mattress in Firm, with a 2” Medium Latex Topper.

The mattress is really quite firm…strong enough to hold your weight for many years…but too firm for comfort. The latex topper adds that surface comfort and helps extend the life of the mattress. Pure Latex is the most resilient upholstery material, and has been for the last 100+ years.

 

(Note: Latex produced in China is not pure. They add clay as a filler. 

Since clay is a natural substance, their latex is sold as “all natural”. 

It’s cheaper to buy, but more expensive to use, as it needs frequent replacing.)

 

Here are links to all the products you need. All are the strongest, highest quality products available anywhere. You’ll enjoy a supportive, comfortable sleeping experience for many years to come.

What’s the Best Mattress, Best Value?

Frank writes:

Hi Pete,

We need a couple of mattresses.

We’ve wasted too much money on memory foam, so we don’t want that.

After finding your blog, we now know why they were such a waste of money.

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

 

We want to get your take on what would be the best mattress and what would be the best value mattress, if not the same mattress.

I’m a large guy, while my wife is smaller but not petite.

I have a bad back, which was only made worse by our previous mattresses.

I look forward to your recommendations.
