New Mattress Doesn't Feel Like the Floor Sample.

Paul writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just got a new mattress delivered and was in pain the very first night I slept on it.

How could I have made such a mistake?

What do I do now?

Thanks, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

The very first thing to do, now, is exercise a little patience.

There are two forces at play here...the mattress and your body.

 

The mattress not feeling like the floor sample, is a common problem.

The floor sample has been laid on many times and was "broken in", buy the time you tried it.

The one delivered to you is a bit stiff because it is new. Over the next couple of weeks, or so, it too will feel better.

 

On a new mattress, your body has been, suddenly, thrust into its proper alignment.  

This can be quite painful, at first, but will subside as your body gets used to its new digs...so to speak.

 

Wait a couple weeks before doing anything.

If at that point, you feel you need a bit more surface comfort, you can always add a topper to soften the surface.

The best, of which, is latex.

The Suite Sleep 100% Pure, All Natural Soft Dunlop would be an excellent5 choice.

Replacing a 20 Year Old Pure Latex Mattress.

Vic writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have two 20 year old twin-xl latex mattress, on adjustable bed bases.

The bases are in good shape, but the mattresses need replacing.

These mattresses are all latex, without fillers or synthetics.

I want to replace them with mattresses of equal quality.

Many of the latex mattresses I've seen while shopping, are not pure latex.

I'm 275 Lbs. and like a firm feel. My wife is not light, but likes a softer feel.

Do you carry, or know where I can buy, the quality latex mattresses I'm looking for?

Thanks, Vic

  

Hi Vic,

This mattress, I’m recommending is 100% Pure All Natural Dunlop Latex.

This is the highest quality latex on the market.

The cover is an organic cotton double knit, which maximizes the performance of the latex.

There are 3 mattresses on this page.

My recommendation is for the Suite Dreams model, from Suite Sleep.

This mattress is easily customizable to suit you, both, if you don’t agree as to surface comfort.

The base layer should be firm, for support and longevity.

The top later of latex is available: soft, medium soft, medium firm, and firm.

I recommend the medium firm for you.

Since your wife prefers a softer surface feel, I recommend the medium soft surface layer for her.

 

Here is a link to those mattresses.

Suite Sleep Latex Mattress | The Mattress Expert The 10″ Suite Dreams Mattress is our most popular mattress and featured in boutique hotels across the country.

Most Comfortable Sleep on a Latex Mattress Topper.

Lucy writes:

 

Dear Pete,

I just want you to know that I bless you every night when I get into my bed with your latex mattress topper.

It's the most comfortable sleep I have had since I was a baby in my mother's arms.

All best and many thanks,

Lucy

 

Wow!

Lucy, that’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me, except for my wife, in a very long time. 

Thank you, so much, for that.

And, it makes me happy to know you’re sleeping well.

You and everyone around you must be benefiting from that.

Which Latex Topper Soften a Too Firm Mattress to Relieve Hip Pain.

Hi Pete,

I'm a curvy female with a mattress that is just too firm.

It is causing me hip pain, as I am a side sleeper.

I've read a lot of your blog posts and see you recommend a latex topper.

I'm looking for maximum softness.

Thanks, Diane

Back Pain I Attribute to an Unsupportive Mattress.

Chris writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are looking for a new mattress. I'm 260 lbs. She's about 130 lbs. 

I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her back. 

I occasionally have lower back pain after sleeping, which I attribute to an increasingly unsupportive mattress.

Can you recommend something that will give us a great night sleep?

Thank you, Chris

 

Hi Chris,

I do have something that will give you a great night's sleep that will do so long term.

It would be the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

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

And, I have lots of disc related back problems, accumulated over the years.

Our mattress is 5 years old and, still, in like new condition...with not so much as a dent in it.

And even though my back has seen better days, I sleep and wake with NO Back Pain.

That mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

EverEden Latex Mattress Toppers.

Jillian writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We've purchased a number of products, from you, over the years.

One of these products was an EverEden latex mattress topper, which we loved and was looking to buy another.

But when I click on the link I had for that, it takes me to the Pure Bliss latex mattress toppers.

What happened to the EverEden toppers?

Thanks, Jillian

 

Hi Jillian,

EverEden has had a change of ownership....the original owner's son.

The new owner has abandoned latex for the more lucrative memory foam.

I've seen retailers go downhill after the sons take over. 

This is the 1st time I've seen this happen to a manufacturer.

It's always a pity to see a know-it-all child that a business that a father has built and substitute quality for profits.

 

So, rather than have a dead link out there, which appears in so many of our older posts, I decided to tie that link to the Pure Bliss Latex Topper page.

You'll be just as happy with the results. My wife and I use a 3" Plush Pure Bliss Latex Topper on our mattress at home.

It's just as comfortable and just as long lasting as the EverEden was.

Here is the Pure Bliss Latex Mattress Toppers link:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

 

However, you'll have to wait a bit.

Due to the slow reopening after the pandemic shutdown, Pure Bliss has suspended taking new orders.

I'm expecting and hoping that situation will change soon...once more of their workers get back to work.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if everything gets back to normal on Nov. 4th....as if by magic.

Mattress Advice for Back Pain and MS.

Jayne writes:

 

Hello Peter,

I’m hoping you can help me. I’m just looking for advice as I live in the UK. 

I don’t think you supply to Britain, but having read all your useful advice I’m hoping you can help me.

I had spinal surgery, a few years ago, and have now been told I will need to have the same surgery again. 

This time, on the upper disc’s above the original spinal fusion. 

I am in constant pain which keeps me awake at night. I just need some restful sleep. 

I am a side sleeper, (usually on the right side), with pillows under my back on the left.

My weight is 105 lbs., (7 and a half stone)

What I’m after is advice on what to buy to help alleviate some of the pain. 

I also suffer from MS, Multiple Sclerosis which doesn’t help!

I think I need to be raffled off, as the saying goes here!!

Anything you could suggest would most welcome.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards, Jayne

 

Hello Jayne,

Since I can’t recommend a particular mattress, let’s focus on the components of the mattress...what to look for and what to avoid.

 

You’ll want a mattress that uses an individually pocketed coil unit for support and polyurethane or latex foam upholstery for surface comfort.

Poly foam is good. Latex foam is best.

 

Memory foam, aka Visco foam, is thee thing to avoid.

Contrary to all the hype surrounding it, memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented. 

It will, surely, cause your pain to increase.

 

If you are unsure about what you’re seeing, as you shop, feel free to email me the specifications of any mattress you’re considering. I’ll be happy to translate the information therein.

 

Best of luck to you.

Simmons BR Black Ava with a 3" Vytex Dunlop Topper was Perfect.

Carolyn writes:

 

Hi, Peter.  

I'm a returning, happy customer.  

In early 2016, I took delivery of a Cal King Simmons BR Black Ava with a 3" Vytex Dunlop topper.  

It was so perfect that when I had to move less than a year later, I couldn't take a Cal. King set with me. 

I gifted that Cal.King set to my daughter and her new husband who is 6' 3", and they still love that set so much!  

That's the good news.  

 

The bad news is I had an accident in late 2016 that resulted in mobility issues. 

I now have extreme swelling in both of my legs (lymph nodes missing behind my knees).  

I was gifted a Queen size Beautyrest, Recharge World Class, Vanderbilt Collection Keaton, Luxury Firm Pillow Top.

I bought a 3" Dunlop latex topper on Amazon for $319, but I haven't been comfortable in the bed since day one. 

I don't think the latex topper is sturdy enough to hold my weight up from the mattress.

 

On October 27, 2020, I am moving to Bellevue, Washington to be close to my daughter and grandbabies.

I need to buy a new mattress set and have it delivered directly to my new studio apartment in Bellevue.  

Because I am struggling to lift my legs to get on top of the Queen size bed, I'm thinking about getting a Full size.

Budget is a concern, but I also need to be able to sleep as well as I did in the 2016 set I purchased from you.  

I was 5' 10" tall, but spinal compression makes me now barely 5' 8". 

I wear compression devices on both my legs and have a service dog, so I need a heavy duty mattress.  

 

Thank you in advance for your recommendations,

Thanks, Carolyn

 

Hi Carolyn,

I’m sorry to hear of your accident.

It’s a pity you had to give up your mattress.

The Black Beautyrests have a much stronger coil unit than the World Class.

The latex topper is for surface comfort, not support.

It’s the mattress that isn’t strong enough to hold you.

 

My recommendation is to replace that mattress with a stronger one. 

You'll continue to use that latex topper for extra surface comfort.

Your foundation doesn’t need to be replaced.

 

I have a mattress that will do the job and, it’s reasonably priced.

That mattress is the Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Adara.
