The Mattress Expert

A Mattress Recommendation from an Expert.

Question: My husband and I are 74 and 70 and slender. 

Our sleeping habits have evolved over the years and we find our bodies are a bit more tender now and have; therefore, decided today to change from our 12 year old Queen to twin beds XL. 

After 2 days of shopping mattresses our minds are boggled. 

I have been reading your web page, THE MATTRESS EXPERT, and appreciate the candid information. 

Based on what our needs are, I'd like you to tell us, 'this is what you need' and then we'd go and buy it. 

As a back/side sleeper I want a quality mattress we can depend on with a softer than average mattress. 

My husband is a side/stomach sleeper and  wants a mattress one step firmer than mine.  

Do you have any recommendations?

Tks!

 

Hello,

Stomach sleepers sleep better on a firmer surface, which is why his back hurts on your pillow top mattress.

Based on your needs, ages and sizes, my recommendation is:

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress…in Medium for you and Medium Firm for your husband.

These mattresses come with a 100 Night Trial Period.

 

Here’s the link you’ll need to view that mattress and place your order.

AND…

 

You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.

Doing so will void the warranty of any mattress.

If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Shown here:

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

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and odor free will enhance longevity.

 

The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.

It sleeps cool and works well.

Replacing a 15 year old mattress. Where do I start?

Pat writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a 15 year old mattress and boxspring.

It needs to be replaced, but I have no idea as to where to start.

Stats: early to mid 60s, average weight, usual aches and pains due to age.

What do I do first, next, etc.?

Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat,

Since everything is 15 years old, we need to start from the bottom up.

Take a look under your bed.

Make sure your framing isn’t bent of bowed.

Some steel bed frames can bend over time .

Your sizes wouldn’t necessarily make that a problem. It doesn’t hurt to take a look.

If you have a bedstead, (headboard and footboard), make sure that the cross slats are not bowed.

 

Next is the foundation/boxspring.

If you use your old boxspring, you’ll automatically void the warranty of any new mattress. 

 

While none of the “name brands” make a mattress worth buying, (due to the memory foam they use), their foundations are perfectly fine. 

The places with the lowest prices on these are:

Big Lots-Simmons, Costco-Sealy, Sam’s Club-Serta.

The down side is: they only come in the 9” height and delivery is not available.

 

My recommendation is the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height…5” or 8”,  and your choice of color…black, brown or gray.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered wood foundations. They are a bit dressy, but reasonably priced….Shown here: 

 

Magniflex Foundations 

 

https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations_and_bases.html#/

 

I have 3 options for the mattress.

All 3 have the aforementioned components…individually pocketed coil system and pure, organic latex upholstery.

At your sizes, the first two are all you need.

The third is what I would normally recommend for heavy people, but it also has better edge support.

 

The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes setup in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress and all packing materials.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

This mattress has a much higher coil count than the others.

It arrives fully formed, (not shrink wrapped), which is why the edge support is better. The Natura mattress takes about 6 weeks to arrive, while the Williams and PlushBeds mattresses take only about 2 weeks.

This, too, comes with white glove delivery. However, delivery only includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials…and NOT removal of your old mattress.

A Mattress Delivered, Setup and Old Mattress Removed.

Arthur writes:

Hi Pete,

We’re at the age where we can’t handle a mattress.

We need a new one, but require it be delivered to our bedroom, setup on our platform bed and our old mattress removed.

We don’t want to skimp on quality, but have limited funds.

We need something that supports our aging backs, that is comfortable without being too soft.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks, Arthur

 

Hi Arthur,

We carry such a mattress.

The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress.

This mattress has firm, contouring individually pocketed coils, which are designed to maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine…excellent for relieving the common back pains that come with age.

The upholstery is Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Foam.

Latex has provides the unique feeling that you’re floating.

It’s not only comfortable, but also extremely long lasting.

It’s been the best upholstery material for the last 100+ years.

No off gassing.

No sleeping hot.

No sinking in.

 

This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery.

Delivery includes: Setup in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress and all packaging materials….Just point, and the delivery man does the rest.

A Mattress to Relieve Thoracic Back Pain.

Barry writes:

Hi Pete,

I am having a major flare up of thoracic back pain. 

When I go to sleep at night, my back is fine. But after 5 hours of sleep I have terrible thoracic and rib pain. So far it looks like this is arthritis but I am having an MRI soon. Our mattress is only a few years old. 

It’s a Queen Simmons Beautyrest pillowtop, to which we have added a 1“ memory foam topper. 

If I sleep by myself on an older twin in our guest bedroom, I have a less pain. Getting a new mattress might help my problem but I do not want to spend the money and find out it does not help or that I have made an incorrect choice. I am wondering what type of mattress you would suggest.

Thank you for your ideas, Barry

 

Hi Barry,

An incorrect choice is exactly what you have now.

Simmons Beautyrest had once made great mattresses.

They and Serta were purchased by an investment group in 2016.

They haven’t made a mattress worth buying since.

The major difference is the memory foam they’re using…without question, the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.

It’s purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

And, having a pillowtop doesn’t help…the first thing to wear.

 

Best Option:

A Latex/Pocketed Coil Hybrid Mattress.

The coils are like those used by Simmons, but the steel is double tempered, while Simmons never tempered the steel used to make their coils.

The big difference: the Pure Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Upholstery.

Latex is the antithesis of memory foam.

Latex is proven to be the best, most comfortable and most durable upholstery material for the last 100 years.

 

The pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of your spine and the latex provides surface comfort that DOESN’T allow you to sink.

It’s the sinking into your memory foam that’s throwing off the natural alignment of your body and spine…causing pain.

Latex creates the unique feeling of floating…very comfy.

 

I have two choices for you…basically the same…with all of the aforementioned components…providing different services.

A Mattress for a Heavy Sleeper with Arthritis.

Jean writes:

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are looking to replace (who knows how old) a mattress that is finally beginning to hurt our sleep. 

My friend recommended you highly, but we don't know what to buy. 

We have a queen bed and we are looking for mattress and box spring. 

I am heavy and have arthritis in my knee and hip -- my husband is tall and has some restless legs -- Can you make a suggestion for us. Jean 

 

Hello Jeans,

I can highly recommend the same mattress that my wife and I have been sleeping on for the past 10+ years…and still in excellent condition.

The individually pocketed coils provide support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine…with the highest coil count available.

And, Natural Talalay Latex Upholstery for long lasting comfort.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery available, for the last 100+ years.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush is that Mattress.

Our Pillowtop Mattress is Sagging.

Jens writes:

Hi Pete,

My husband and I have had a bad experience with our current pillow top mattress sagging, and in a very short period of time.

We’ve also tried 100% latex mattress, but couldn’t seem to adjust and still had back  pain most days.

Our guest room has an old Spring Air back supporter firm mattress with a latex topper and it is still pretty comfy. 

For man years, we had slept on a Simmons Beautyrest two sided flippable mattress and it was also a good mattress.

So, we’re thinking rather than keep wasting time and money on fancy over priced mattresses, we’d like to find just a good solid inexpensive firm mattress that will not sag. 

One that we can put a ~2” latex topper on…soft  most likely.

Could you recommend a good inexpensive firm mattress that will not sag? We’re looking for a King under $2,000 including the topper.

I am 5’7” ~160lbs and my hubby is 6’0” ~220lbs. 

I sleep on my stomach and he’s on his side or back.

Would greatly appreciate any recommendations!!!

Thanks, Jen

 

Hi Jen,

Those old mattresses were extremely well made. 

But, a lot has changed since then. Most of today’s mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, which wears quickly…especially if it’s a pillowtop. The pillowtop part being the first thing to wear well.

 

And while an all latex mattress is the highest quality and longest lasting of all the foams, it doesn’t have the pushback support needed for worn discs.

No all foam mattress will relieve that kind of back pain.

 

I have an excellent option for you, which you’ll be pleased to hear, comes well under budget…one with the coils you need for support.

 

The Mattress:

The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex in the Medium Firm option for your husband’s size…offering firm, contouring support with latex upholstery.

A Very Firm Mattress for a 350 Lb. Man

Bubba writes:

Hi Pete,

What mattress do you recommend for a 350 lb,. 6ft man who wants a long lasting twin-xl due to space, very firm?

Thanks, Bubba

 

Hi Bubba,

The highest quality mattress that’s also extremely firm, is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.

There are 4 choices of comfort and all are firmer than they sound…firmer than other brand mattresses with the same firmness designations.

For instance: my wife and I, each exceeding 200 lbs., have been sleeping on the Ultra Plush model for more than 10 years…still in like new condition.

 

Here’s a link to that line of mattresses:

 

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses

The “Firm” model is downright hard.

You might need a topper to soften it.

I recommend waiting until you’ve slept on your new mattress before deciding if you need to soften it.

If so, Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality, Pure, Organic & Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Toppers.

A Mattress for Someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Bette writes:

Hi Pete,

I would like to know the recommended mattress for someone with rheumatoid arthritis and wakes sore every morning or whenever I lay down?

Thanks, Bette

 

Hi Bette,

Every body requires some degree of firm support for proper spinal alignment and some degree of surface softness for comfort.

Body weight and ailments, such as yours, are factors in determining which mattress is best. 

Also important, is the quality of the components inside the mattress.

A mattress using an individually pocketed coil system for support will provide the pushback support you need for maintaining the natural alignment of your body and spine, while also providing pressure point relief at the hip and shoulder.

The best upholstery material for excellent surface comfort and durability is Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex…the best upholstery material for the last 100+ years…with memory foam being the worst on both counts.

My recommendation is The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress 

Shown Here:

I’m Miserable on My Memory Foam Mattress.

Theresa writes:

Hi Pete,

I am so miserable with my current king size memory foam mattress.

This was a bad choice as I have tried sleeping on it for a couple of months, and now I’m waking up with aches and pains. 

Before this bed I made the mistake of buying a Spring Air pillow top that cost me around $2,000 and it started sagging after only 3 years and it started to tear apart at the seams. 

 

I am a side sleeper, am about 5'4 weigh 185, would like your thoughts on what mattresses to consider....I'm tired of aches and pains and tired of wasting money.

Thanks, Theresa

 

Hi Theresa,

Your previous Spring Air was also upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented…for the reasons you mentioned and more.

 

I recommend a mattress that has an individually pocketed coil system that’s upholstered with Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex.

This coil system provides firm, contouring support that maintains the natural ailment of your body and spine.

Latex foam is the most resilient of all the foams, providing unparalleled comfort that stays like new for many years.

A mattress with these components is what will relieve all of your aches and pains. It’s what we sleep on at home.

 

For your size, I have two excellent options for you. Both include the components I’ve mentioned. Each provides a different service, so it’ll come down to which service appeals more to you.
