An all latex foam mattress with an adjustable bed base.

Joan writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a bit of a dilemma.

I like and want an all foam mattress.

I know not to buy a memory foam type, but the all latex types are just so expensive.

Is there a way to get what I want without the huge price tag?

Thanks, Joan

 

Hi Joan,

Memory foam mattresses are not all memory foam.

They have a thick poly foam base that supports the memory foam.

The same is available in latex...a thick poly foam base supporting the latex top upholstery.

This gives you the unique feel of floating that only latex can provide, at a more reasonable price.

 

We have such mattresses...The Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Mattresses 

We are promoting these mattresses with a Magniflex adjustable bed base.

There are 3 different adjustable bed bases from Maginflex...Primavera, Milano and Venezia. 

The promotion gives you the upgrade to the Milano model for the same price as the Primavera

Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top Mattress Equivalent?

Vince writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What mattress being sold in 2022 is the equivalent to Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top?

Regards, Vince

 

Hi Vince,
Nothing! Especially not from Simmons, thanks to all the memory foam being used today.

Your mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why it held up so well for so long.

Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,

What mattress being sold in 2022 is the equivalent to Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top?

Do you know of any non-memory foam mattresses for sale?

Thanks, Vince

 

Hi Vince,

We specialize in mattresses that have no memory foam in them.

All, except one, use an individually pocketed coil system, for which Simmons Beautyrest is famous.

The best we have is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, which is the same mattress my wife and I have at home.

Here’s a link to that mattress.

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

 

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

Not only does it not have memory foam, it’s upholstered with natural latex, which has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

 

Here’s a link to our website, where you’ll find all of our mattresses.

Dux 303 Frameless Mattress.

Eric writes:

 

Hi Pete,

You have helped me with my last two mattress purchases and I really appreciate your outstanding advice.

 

I am now at the stage of life where I am looking for the best mattress I can buy. 

I have no price limit, as a mattress that allows me to wake up without too much pain is critical.

 

I recently tested out a Dux 303 Frameless Mattress in the showroom and was really impressed. 

Perhaps the best and most weightless feeling ever when laying on a mattress in store.

 

However, I did not lay in the center of the bed. 

I now see online the wide separation running down the center of the bed between the pascal cassettes. 

As I usually sleep in the center of the bed, I believe this will be a major issue.

 

I would appreciate your thoughts. 

I am also wondering if the border in the middle can be shifted to the outsides which would allow the cassettes to touch each other at the center point.

 

Thanks as always,   Eric

 

Hi Eric,

It’s the latex on top that creates the feeling of floating.

So, let me recommend the highest quality, most comfortable sleep system I could find while shopping at the industry trade shows.

This combination sleep system provides excellent support with none of the problems you describe with Dux.

It’s what my wife and I have been sleeping on for the last several years.

And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., it remains in like new condition.

What’s more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having a very bad back.

 

This Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress has 3” of latex in it.

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

 

And while this mattress is comfortable, it does lack the luxurious feeling you’re looking for. 

To achieve that, add a Suite Sleep 3” Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper.

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

 

Together, they provide luxurious comfort that’s better made than anything from Dux.

 

Delivery is FREE and there’s NO Sales Tax.

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Replaced a Simmons Beautyrest Black with a Natura Greenspring Mattress.

March 2022 Review of Natura Greenspring Ultra-Plush

 

 

This is our first review after sleeping 11 nights on our queen size Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra-Plush mattress and 5” foundation.  We ordered it on 1/19/22.  

It shipped on 2/15/22, and arrived from Canada to the West Coast by 3/2/22.  

I want to share more info than just “we bought it, and like it”!  Here are our impressions and review.

 

While we were looking on the internet at mattresses, we saw that most companies give about 3 months of a trial, and they’ll take it back if you don’t like it.  

Initially it was hard for us to swallow that there’s no trial, nor returning the Natura mattresses.  

As Pete told us, and we completely agree….“Buying a mattress in this manner requires a leap of faith. 

Many people find it difficult to make this kind of purchase.”  Eventually we were OK with doing so.

 

The mattress quality, craftsmanship, and materials are VERY good!  

Our 14 year old mattress was a very nice Simmons Beautyrest Black, but the mattress' generous “body sculpting” told us it was time to look for a new mattress.  

As we learned, today’s current Simmons Beautyrest Black IS NOT made like ours was 14 years ago, so buying that “same named model” today and expecting the same comfort and longevity, would be a mistake.  

Pete advised/confirmed that.

 

We wanted a mattress that would be as close to the Simmons Beautyrest Black in design as we could get (i.e., TONS of coil springs and latex).  

With Pete’s help, and us doing massive research on Natura (and a few others), we chose Natura Greenspring.

 

The VERY FIRST impression was that this mattress was quite firm.  

Pete told us that Natura Greenspring’s are firmer than their name implies, and we agree!!  

Pete recommended the Ultra-Plush.  

When we think of “Ultra-Plush” we envisioned some super thick ultra-marshmallow topper that you would disappear into.  This is NOT that.  It is indeed, fairly firm to my wife and I at 130 and 200 lbs respectively. Remember, firm is subjective to each person.  

But keep in mind, our old mattress, although comfy, had become too soft.

 

We have slept in it 11 nights now.  

Each night, we slept better and better as we got used to the new firmness (compared to what we had).  

We can report that we are BOTH very happy with this mattress, we are sleeping better, and we will not need a latex topper.  

So, if you’re concerned about my and Pete’s “firmness” descriptor, don’t worry.  

Sleep on it for a while to see how you adjust.

 

Also, we only have high remarks for how communicative, professional, PATIENT and responsive Pete has been as we hammered him with tons of questions!  He was ALWAYS quick to reply with complete answers.

 

We wanted a bed that was designed so that when the other person turned over or got in/out, the jiggle/movement would be minimal.  

This fits the bill VERY nicely as we knew the combination of a coil spring mattress and latex would do!  

Our old Simmons Beautyrest Black was phenomenal at not transferring any movement.  

Also, we just ordered the organic cotton waterproof mattress cover that Pete sells.

 

We are happy with our purchase, and we will provide another update a several months from now.

Hip Pain developing on an older Latex Mattress.

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete. 

It's time for me to move again and I was hoping to ask your advice! 

I still have the Natura All Latex mattress that I got from you back in 2015, and I've been very happy with it. Though lately I have been developing some hip pain and wondering if that might be related to the mattress getting older? 

My only other issue has been the fact that the mattress is so heavy. 

I live alone and I don't have a lot of upper body strength, so I find it very difficult to move, even just to lift it up the corner a bit when changing the sheets.

 

Do you think I should get a new mattress instead of bringing this one with me when I move? 

And if so, what would you recommend?

Thank so much for all your help over the years!

Best, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

7 years is relatively new for an all latex mattress of that quality.

The hip pain needs to be diagnosed by a doctor....to be sure if it's the mattress or not.

However, not wanting to take the mattress with you because of the weight is a purely personal choice.

 

For something similar in support and comfort, but not nearly as heavy, would be a poly/latex hybrid…using a firm polyurethane foam core with a soft latex top layer.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latexmattress/latex-hybrid-mattress-temptation-plush/

The poly/latex hybrids cost less, as well as weigh less.

The above link is to their basic plush model.

If your hip requires a more luxurious surface feel, then consider this model:

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Thank you so much, Pete! 

Those look like good options for me. 

The reason I was thinking it might be mattress-related is that my hip only feels sore in the morning. 

And when I can get myself to sleep in the middle of the bed, it does not happen. 

I rotate the mattress, but I seem to break the habit of sleeping on my side, so the middle has almost no wear.

Thanks, Karen

 

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

 

Good Morning Karen,

Your reasoning is sound.

Adding a soft latex topper will provide the extra cushioning for your hip.

If you’re keeping that mattress, it’ll be all you need.

A good mattress that will hold up for a good while and for my back.

Joe writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am looking to buy a new mattress but don't know where to start. 

I just need a good bed that will hold up for a good while I have a not so great back due to my line work. 

I have looked at a company called global mattress they are smaller company but seem to be ok beds. 

I guess my question is what your opinion would be for these beds and or if you have any other suggestions.

Regards, Joe

 

Hi Joe,

It’ll be important for you to avoid any mattress upholstered with memory foam.

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

It sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. 

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

 

The Global Mattress website offers no specifications for their mattresses.

You’d be buying something without knowing what is inside…a pig in a poke.

 

The mattress I’m recommending is the same mattress my wife and I have at home.

It’s now more than several years old and still in like new condition, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

I, too, have a very bad back. Yet, this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

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

The individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

The Natural Talalay Latex upholstery provides long lasting comfort.

This mattress contains NO Memory Foam and no components imported from China.

 

Delivery is FREE and there’s NO Sales Tax.

Sleep Number Bed has become uncomfortable due to sagging.

Donna writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I've been following your blog for a while now, and really appreciate your advice and suggestions.  

We have a Sleep Number Bed that has become quite uncomfortable due to sagging.

My husband weighs 225 and gets too warm at night.  I weigh 135.

 

I'm considering a platform bed. 

I like what I read about the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.  

Have you any advice for us?

Thanks for your informative blogs and posts!

Donna

 

Hi Donna,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses use an individually pocketed coil system.

This is ideal for your situation. 

With a 90 lb. difference, the independent movement of the coils will keep you from feeling him when he moves.

The coils in the Natura of Canada Greenspring are made of heavy gauge, twice tempered steel.

And, theses mattresses are upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex....containing NO Memory Foam.

Latex is a much more resilient material than the memory foams that are used in most of today's mattresses. 

All this adds up to a product that will hold up well to a big man.

The Ultra Plush model provides extraordinary surface comfort for the curves of the female body.

A Mattress to relieve back pain from herniated discs.

Elizabeth writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am helping a friend with two herniated discs to find the best mattress to help relieve his back pain.

The herniated disc are at T5-6 and T8-9. He is 5'6' and approximately 160 lbs., (give or take). 

He has been looking into Tempurpedic beds.

What type of mattress would you recommend? A soft or hard mattress? 

Are there any brands that are better than other?

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time, Elizabeth

 

Hi Elizabeth,

An all foam mattress, and memory foam in particular, will only increase his back pain.

He's being taken in by the hype surrounding that kind of mattress...and none of it is true, for long.

Memory foam is the worse type of upholstery material ever invented.

It wears quickly and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made.

A mattress with an individually pocketed coil system, will provide contouring "UPWARD" pushback support against his spine for proper support of his herniated discs.

(Any all foam mattress provides no upward support).

The best of what we carry, is the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

These mattresses provide the highest coil count....strong coils that are double tempered...and upholstered with natural latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. (Most comfortable and most durable).

 

My wife and I have one of these at home. 

I have lots of disc problems, including herniated discs.

Despite all that, I sleep and wake without back pain...thanks to the mattress.

Of their 4 models, the Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

Here's a link to those mattresses:

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress has sagged. Lower back and hip pain.

Katherine writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I found your information online and wanted to see if you could give me some advice. 

I am about to purchase a mattress and need help.  

I bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black Luxury Firm mattress a few years ago.

It has sagged and offers no support.  

My hips and back have been bothering me since purchasing the mattress.  

I have lower back and hip pain, so I need support and comfort.    

I have made several poor choices when buying mattresses and want to make a smart decision that will offer me years of satisfaction.

Many thanks for you time!

Katharine

 

Hi Katherine,

The problem you've been facing is the poor performance of the upholstery layers in today's mattresses.

All that memory foam feels fine when new, but doesn't keep its shape, comfort, or support for very long.

This problem exists for most mattresses made over the last several years.

I'm recommending the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

This provides the same type of support as in the Simmons Beautyrest, but better.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger in the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

What's more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex...and contains NO Memory Foam.

 

I have a very bad back, but this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

My wife and I weigh more than 200 lbs., each. 

Yet, our mattress has remained in like new condition during the 7.5 years we've been sleeping on it.

Of the four model in the Natura of Canada Greenspring line, the Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

The Ultra Plush model is the one we have at home.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Back Pain.

Ellen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in the market to replace my ancient queen mattress/box springs but am dealing with a couple of issues:

1) Husband and I are around 200 lbs but are around the same height. We are both side sleepers.

2) I have back pain due to DDD, degenerated disc disease.

I suppose I am looking for something of quality, (resistant to sagging), that will address the pain issues.

Neither of us likes a soft mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring looks like a good choice, but which model?

Thanks, Ellen

 

Hi Ellen,

One of our most frequently recommendations will also suit the two of you...as it has, the two of us.

My wife and I are, each, over 200 lbs.

I, too, have DDD along with herniated and bulging discs.

I sleep and wake with no back pain.

Our Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress is more than 6 years old and still in like new condition.

The quality of these mattresses is very high and all are firmer than their firmness designation.

We have the Ultra Plush, which is more like a regular plush.

I suggest either the Luxury Firm or Plush models. The "Firm" model is like the floor.

Here is a link to that line of mattresses:

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

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
