My New Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Needs a Latex Topper.

Jillian writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Well, it's just like me to put the cart before the horse.
I went online to research mattresses AFTER buying one, just yesterday.
 
I happened across a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress that I liked a lot. 
It was a floor sample close-out, which I got for 50% off the tagged price.
I felt like I couldn't pass it up.
When I got home, I started feeling a little suspicious, since the salesman was such a fast talker.
 
Anyway, it turns out that it's one of the mattresses you often recommend for heavy people.
It was the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree luxury firm.
It was only a little less expensive that a new one from you, which made me think that the 50% was off an inflated price.
 
After reading your blog posts about that mattress, I see that my new mattress needs a latex topper for my new mattress, so that it will last for a while.
Please confirm for me that I should add a Pure Bliss 2" plush talalay latex topper.
I just want to make sure that I'm ordering the right one.  
 
Thank you in advance for your advice, Jillian
 
Hi Jillian,
Well, you didn't give me much to add to this. I am happy to see that you found me and did some reading.
Yes, the latex topper will absorb your body weight, insulate you from the memory foam in the mattress and add years of comfortable life to that mattress.
As a floor sample close-out, you will no longer have a manufacturer's warranty. 
Adding a latex topper will insure that you won't need that warranty.
The latex topper you named is the one to get.
Here is a link to the Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Natural Talalay latex Topper:

UPS Delivery is Free and there's NO Sales Tax.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Mattress Recommendation for Older, Average Size People.

Pam writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My husband and I slept on a Sealy mattress at a hotel in Key West...and slept well.
I've come to understand that hotel mattresses made by Sealy have no memory foam in them.
However, the Sealy mattresses, at retail stores, ARE upholstered with memory foam.
We currently have a Kingsdown mattress that became uncomfortable after only 3 years.
But due to the memory foam in the mattress, our warranty claim was denied.
Needless to say, we don't want memory foam.
My husband and I are older, 60 and 59. We are average size people, kinda. He weighs 170 and I'm 165.
We have the usual achy backs and he has a sore shoulder.
I see that you have mattresses with no memory foam in them.
What would you recommend for us?
Thanks, Pam
 
Hi Pam,
First, I want to go over why I'm not recommending some of the other mattresses we carry.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring is a much stronger mattress than the Simmons Beautyrest.
It's already upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex and containing NO Memory foam. 
The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than what Simmons uses.
Both feature a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system...(a 9" coil in a 7" pocket).
This is somewhat like the Sealy mattress you slept on. Sealy's coils are also pocketed, but not pre-compressed.
 
 
The pre-compression of the coils produces a pushback support, which is better for your spine, on a longer term basis.
The strength of the Greenspring mattresses is better suited to heavier people.
The softer feel of the Beautyrest/Latex Topper combination, while not as strong, is more comfortable.
THIS is the better choice for average weight people...especially for the curves of a female, and pressure point pain at the shoulder.
 
We also carry Wolf...a very old, (since 1873), family owned company that makes an old fashioned two sided mattress.
The coil count is lower and the upholstery is plant based polyurethane foam...no memory foam or latex.
These are better suited to children and guest bedrooms.
 
The sleep system combination I'm recommending for the two of you, is:
The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Luxury Firm and a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush, Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
The latex topper does a number of thing:
1) It provides extraordinary surface comfort that remains like new for many years. 
     Soft and resilient, it produces the feel of floating. 
2) It insulates you for the memory foam in the mattress, which won't wear out as it normally does....and doesn't off gas like other brands.
3) It sleeps cool.
4) It absorbs all of your body weight, causing the mattress to remain like new longer...and wearing very slowly over the years.
    Your mattress will last a whole lot longer than it would without it...far longer than the manufacturer intended. 
 
Here are links to both products:
Simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm-mattress-room
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up on your bed frame, removal of all packing material, and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Both are freshly made to fill your order and take about 2 weeks to arrive.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.

A Mattress and Pillow for a Big Man to Relieve Neck and Shoulder Pain.

Ed writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I've had pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder and numbness from my elbow to pinky finger for some time. 
I went to the Dr. and I have a bulging disc. I know it is from sleeping on my side while in my bed. 
When I sleep on the sofa, I stay on my back and the pain and numbness is reduced. 
I'm a big man, 6'1" 260 lbs. and 38 y.o. with no other physical damage. 
After researching and trying so many models, I'm focusing on an all latex mattress.

I noticed on the blog, several mentions of an innerspring mattress with a Talalay latex topper.
Does this work with an adjustable bed base, are adjustable beds worth the money?
I sleep hot and want to protect my investment. 
Reviews show that many mattress protectors sleeps hot, regardless of mfg. hype to the contrary. 
 
I need a recommendation for a mattress, a pillow and a mattress protector.
Thanks, Ed
 
Hi Ed,
First off, an all latex mattress is not recommended under these circumstances.
An all foam mattress, even with latex being the best of them, do not provide the pushback support your back requires.
Without the proper support, that bulging disc will herniate...making you back condition much worse.
I recommend a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system for the best type of support for you.
Given your size and all of your other ailments, the mattress I recommend for you is:
The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm.
A link to that mattress, shown here:
0003212_simmons-beautyrest-black-2016-desiree-luxury-firm
 
Add to that, a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
This latex topper, in combination with the individually pocketed coils in the mattress, will do a fine job of relieving your shoulder pain.
A link to the latex topper, shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The pillow that does the best job of relieving chronic neck pain, is the Latex/Down Pillow from Pure Talalay Bliss.
This mattress is made of 100% finely chopped latex, which allows you to manipulate the materials, as you can with a Down Pillow. 
Hence, the name.
You can fit the pillow around your head and neck anyway you like to relieve the pressure and pain.
Besides all that, latex pillows remain like new for years...unlike most other types of pillows.
Here is a link to that pillow:

 
Finally, this mattress protector is made of organic cotton. It does sleep cool. We use it at home.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5

 

The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper and pillow arrive via UPS.

The mattress protector arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free for all products, and there's no sales tax.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Mattress, Latex Topper and Pillow Recommendation for My Needs

Andrea writes:
 
Hello Pete,
I have just stumbled onto your website and read messages from others, like me, who are seeking advice for the 'right' mattress.
For starters, I am 65 stand at 5' 1 1/2" and weigh 130 lbs and it's just me in the bed.
The lower back and left side hip are areas of pain when I get into and out of the bed.
I toss between a side and back sleeper. 
Can you fit me with a mattress and latex topper to fit my needs?
I also need a comfortable pillow that won't flatten out and won't be too thick.
Thank you, Andrea 


Hi Andrea,
I do have a recommendation for you. 
The Simmons Beautyrest Silver Series mattress in luxury firm, topped with a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
This is something we've recommended over the years with great success. 
The mattress' individually pocketed coils contour to your body, maintaining the natural alignment of your spine and relieving pressure at your hip. 
The Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper provides extraordinary surface comfort that remains like new for many years.
This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of the old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Both come with free delivery and there's no sales tax.
Here are those links.
Simmons Beautyrest Silver Great Lakes Cove Corner

Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
 

We carry a couple of very nice latex pillows. Latex pillows that last for years.
On this next link, the Latex/Down is made of finely chopped all natural latex. 
It behaves like a down pillow, in that you can manipulate it to mold around your head and neck.
This is ideal for relieving chronic neck pain.
If all you need a nice soft comfortable pillow, the lesser expensive all-natural latex model on this same page is perfect for that.
Both of these Pure Talalay Bliss Pillows are low-profile, so you don't have to worry about them being too thick.

Simmons Beautyrest Legend McFarland Mattress.

Carol writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We need some guidance.  We need a new mattress.  
My husband, (65) and I, (61) prefer a firm mattress.  He is 6 ft tall and 200 lbs.  I’m 5”10 and 155 lbs.  
He sleeps primarily on his back and side, I sleep on my stomach and side.  
I also have had hip surgery and can now sleep on my left side for a little bit.  
My left bursae were removed and have not completely come back yet. 
We have tried out the Beautyrest Legend McFarland-a traditional mattress and the Beautyrest Katrice-memory foam.  
I liked the memory foam. Per the salesman at our local store, the Katrice has not been out that long, so there are not reviews on it.  
I also am hesitant about doing business with that store, due to their mediocre BBB ratings. 
I am open to other brands. We-previously had a Stearns and Foster years ago. 
I would appreciate some guidance. I don't want to wonder around from store to store, reading reviews, and still making a poor decision.  Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.
Best Regards, Carol 
 
 
Good Morning Carol,
Based on your question and the way it’s worded, I’m guessing that you’re unaware that the mattress industry in this country has gone bad.
The memory foam, you said you liked, is responsible for the dramatic downturn in the overall quality.
 
All of the name brands have been sold to investors.
These investors are using memory foam to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
You can, no longer, trust these brand names to make a quality mattress.
Quality is no longer their focus.
Today, it’s all about selling more mattresses more frequently to the same people.
 
Normally, my customers find me after having been stung.
The truth is, you can’t do anything but make a mistake buying from most stores.
Their showrooms are a sea of mattresses upholstered with memory foam.
I'm familiar with the store that carries the Legend McFarland mattress. 
If buying that mattress, you’ll also have the privilege of over paying for a poor quality mattress.
 
It was only 15 years ago, when it was nearly impossible to buy a bad mattress.
Today, it’s equally impossible to buy a good one.
 
Memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented...proving itself to be that over its 20 year history. 
Millions of dollars are spent to promote this cheaply made, poor quality foam.
It’s expensive because of the advertising dollars spent.
 
Memory foam is the only upholstery material that is temperature sensitive.
It softens as it warms from your body heat.
You sink into it easily. Since is has poor resiliency, you’re sinking through it within months of purchase.
It’s extremely deceptive, as you don’t experience any of this by trying a mattress in a showroom for a few minutes.
The diabolical part of memory foam is that it returns to its original shape when you get out of bed...so that you will never prevail in a warranty claim.
 
And, as if all this isn’t bad enough, memory foam is made of 61 different chemicals.
Some of those are highly toxic, like formaldehyde and benzene...just to name a few...
...adding injury to insult. The off gassing of these toxic chemicals attack your respiratory system.
 
The Simmons Beautyrest mattresses use cured memory foam, and is the only name brand that doesn’t off gas those toxic chemicals...which is why Simmons Beautyrest is the only name brand that we still carry.
 
The important part of a Simmons Beautyrest is the pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system, which provides upward support that contours to the shape of your body and maintains the natural alignment of your spine.
 
When we recommend a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, we also recommend a latex topper to go on it.
Latex is and has been the absolute best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
It’s an all natural product that absorbs your body weight, which greatly extends the life of the mattress... and providing a comfort layer that remains like new for many years.
If buying a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, the latex topper is an absolute must.
It will insulate you from the memory foam in the mattress.
 
Or, you can buy that which we sleep on at home.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses use the same pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system...with a higher coil count and stronger coils made of double tempered steel.
The steel used to make the Simmons Beautyrest coils is raw steel...not tempered at all.
 
Here are links to two recommendations.
The first is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
The second is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm...
...and the Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
 
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
 
Gibson Grove-The Mattress Expert
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper


Both mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
All come with free delivery and there’s no sales tax.

Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Mattress

Angela writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I visited a mattress store to get a feel for the Beautyrest Platinum, you recommended, and left the store even more confused than before.  
At the store, I tried the Mcfarland-Legends/Platinum.  
At Costco site, they have the St. Pierre Plush/Platinum so I couldn’t lay on it to try it.  
The salesman at the mattress store indicated that the Platinums are all similar in firmness and comfort.  
How can I know which one to get?  
At the store, the price is $2,599 and at Costco site, the St Pierre Platinum cost $750.  
Please help.
Thanks, Angela
 
Hi Mariangela,
The Platinum models are available in Extra Firm, Luxury Firm, Luxury Firm Pillowtop, Plush, Plush Pillowtop.
So, obviously, they are not all the same.

There is only one Luxury Firm.
There is only one Luxury Firm Pillowtop.
 
The Luxury Firm Pillowtop will give you and idea of how, what I had recommended to you...
the “Luxury Firm and a 2” Plush Talalay Latex Topper”, will feel.
 
The model name in unimportant, since that will be different at every store.

Here are the links, showing prices.
Click on the Luxury Firm model to view specifications.
Compare specifications to get a more detailed view of what you’re buying.

A Mattress for degenerating discs, arthritis and scoliosis.

Allison writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I am interested in purchasing a new mattress at the end of this month.  Is the number toll free for US residents?  
I am just starting my research … I have degenerating discs, arthritis and scoliosis.  
It sounds horrible but I am working with posture related exercises.
My PT says that as I transform my posture, my mattress won't matter so much. 
I sort of disagree with that. My Simmons Beautyrest Shakespeare luxury plush mattress only lasted about five years.
I now wake up in pain. It is not yet 7 years old. Yes, I have been suffering with this mattress for two years, saving up for a new one.
What are your suggestions?
Thanks, Allison
 
 
Hi Allison,
My phone is not toll free, as most people have unlimited calling phone plans. But, I can call you when the time comes.
 
While holding yourself with proper posture will certainly help, you have irreparable back damage. 
The right mattress will provide you proper support and comfort.
This will allow you to sleep and wake with minimal to no pain...depending on the severity of your back damage.
 
Before making a recommendation, I need to know your height and weight...and that of whomever may be sharing the bed with you.
Thanks, Pete
 
Hi Pete
I am just under 5' 7" and weigh 155.  My husband is just under 6 feet and about 170     
I am 59. He is 63, with constant hip pain due to a rod he had inserted due hip fracture from a skiing accident.  
The mattress we have doesn’t bother him at all!  

I have mild sleep apnea and use a machine, primarily to avoid him from poking me and waking me up. 
I start out on my back, but eventually end up on my side.
After my initial deep sleep cycle, back pain has been waking me up. 
I then move to the guest room where the mattress is newer.

I work at home but have learned not to sit all day. I have exercises from egoscue to improve aligning the spine     
My scoliosis is labeled functional, vs. congenital. It is improving at the top and is less rotating in the low Back .   
I have a few low back bulging discs but they don’t hurt any longer.   
I no longer need medication but do take supplements and over the counter pain meds.

I will most definitely be purchasing a mattress and topper the end of this month.  
Our limitations are that we cannot set it up so I cannot do door delivery only. 

I just noticed you are in the US, so calling you is not a problem. For some reason I thought you were in Canada. 
I have every intention of buying from you but I would like to be able to research what you suggest.
Can I buy just the mattress and use my current boxspring?
Do I need a new mattress protector? I already have one.

My last mattress set was a Beautyrest Recharge Shakespeare LXP.  
The set was $999 less the $400 credit for returning a five year old rhapsody that didn’t work   
I can’t imagine there would be much on the warranty now  since it is 6 1/2 years old. 
Plus, they add all kinds of fees which wash out the credit so I do want to cut the cord with that store.   
I do not know if my mattress is “firm” or not.  
It is a pillow top which I can see was not a good choice.
I have always heard firm was best but I’ve always been afraid of a too firm mattress not being comfortable.

A word about my spine.  
It may be irreversible but I feel better than I did five years ago and I’m five years older.  
I just bought a Herman Miller chair, which helps. 
Thanks, Allison 
 
 
Hi Allison,
A new mattress on an old boxspring will automatically void the mattress’ warranty.
So yes, a new boxspring is needed. And as you can see, it isn’t much more in price.
Also, when you buy the set, I’ll include a new frame, which the delivery guys will assemble for you.
 
It’s stains that will, also, void the mattress’ warranty.
Those you can get, simply from perspiration.
A mattress protector is a good idea.
If yours is made by Protect-a-Bed and has a terry cloth top, those tend to sleep hot.
The one we carry is made of organic cotton and does not sleep hot.
Shown here:
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5
But if you’re happy with the one you have, that’s fine.
*
Your Beautyrest is Plush, not Firm.
The support is inadequate for someone with disc damage.

Let me simplify this for you.
There are, essentially, two parts to your body...the inside and the outside.
The same is, basically, true of a mattress.
The inside of the mattress needs to be firm to support the inside of your body, the spine.
The outside of the mattress needs to be plush to cushion and comfort the outside of your body.
This combination is what every body needs to sleep well.

Your mattress is too soft on the inside.

What I recommend for you is similarly made to the Simmons Beautyrest.
Both use a pre-compressed individually pocketed coil unit.
This is ideal for maintaining the spine’s natural alignment...which key to relieving chronic back pain.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses use the same coil system.
But, the coils are much stronger and there are more of them.
What’s more, the upholstery material is far superior...remaining like new for many years.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush is what we sleep on at home.
We, my wife and I, are both heavier than the two of you.
I have many back problems...herniated, bulging and degenerative discs.
I sleep and wake without pain.
Our mattress is now 4 years old and still in like new condition.
This is the mattress I recommend for you.
Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1


This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

I also suggest you get, what is called, bed risers.
They are available on line, but less expensive at Big Lots.
Placed under the back legs of your bed frame, it provides a tilt that will make breathing easier. Once in place, you should be able to sleep without a cpap machine...and without getting poked. They are usually sold in sets of four, for only a few dollars.
*
As far as the mattress is concerned, you could go with a Simmons Beautyrest/Latex Topper combination.
That would be the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm Mattress 
Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/
Simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm-mattress-room


And, a Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper


This mattress also comes with white glove delivery, set up and removal.
The topper arrives via UPS.
Again, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

The previously mentioned Natura mattress is already upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex.
It does not require the purchase of a separate latex topper.

Two Bad Mattress Decisions in 18 Months.

Lang writes:
 
Hi Pete,
My wife and I are looking to buy yet another mattress due to two bad mattress decisions in 18 Months.  
The first was a Dormeo mattress in 01/2018 which we bought the adjustable foundation for at that time.  
After almost a year, we went to the Nebraska Furniture Mart.
We explained to salesperson that I was having total body soreness and poor night's sleep.  
I am a side sleeper, mostly right side and my wife is a back sleeper.  
We came out with Sealy smb Winnifred plush mattress with pillow top.  
We put this on our adjustable bed base, which the salesperson said was fine.
And now, it's June 2019 and we haven't slept on the bed for the last week. 
My wife works late, so she sleeps in other room most nights.  
I started to have Sacroiliitis to the point that I couldn't even bend down to put my socks on in the morning.  
For reference I am about to turn 36 and she is 26, but her pain is only in nights she sleeps in the room.  
I have an older Serta Perfect Sleeper North Shore luxury(cashmere luxury) pillow top that my back feels better on.  
I did sleep on a Simmons Beautyrest plush, over the weekend at a Holiday inn, and woke up with zero pain.  
I have read some on your blog and realize my first mistake was memory foam type mattress by Dormeo. 
However, with my recent purchase of this Sealy mattress, my mistake was that its Sealy.
And I noted that they were bought out by Stern and Foster, which was acquired by tempurpedic.  
I am just needing something that will work, price is important, now that this will be third mattress, none of which were cheap.  
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
If you know of somewhere I could try the mattress before buying, that would be great. 
I just can't afford to make another mistake. 
Thanks, Lang
 
Good Morning Lang,
Well, it looks like you’ve been raked over the coals, so to speak.
The mattress industry has gone bad...all the major brands have been sold to investors who are using memory foam to recoup their investment and turn a profit.
Those name brands could be trusted to make a quality product.
Now, quality isn’t even a part their business model.
Selling more mattresses more frequently to the same people, is all that matters.
 
For the record, Sealy acquired Stearns & Foster decades ago.
In 2013, Tempurpedic bought them both.
 
The adjustable bed base is a good product for hanging out in your bedroom...watching TV, playing on your laptop...etc.
It has almost zero value when it comes to the quality of your sleep.
In fact, when the head is raised, the bulk of your body weight shifts from being evenly distributed across the mattress to being supported by the spot in the mattress just under your butt. That’s that spot where the mattress that will wear out first.
 
The Beautyrest you slept on, uses an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the shape of your body and maintains the natural alignment of your spine.
THIS is why you slept so well on it.
Unfortunately, their plush models use a very thin wire for the coils and the upholstery is memory foam. Neither component wears well, at all.
 
For average weight adults, we recommend starting with a Platinum Series Beautyrest.
Between 200-250 lbs, it’s the Black Series Beautyrest...both in Luxury Firm.
To prevent the premature wear due to the memory foam upholstery, add a Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper, which will insulate you from the memory foam and cause the mattress to last far longer than the manufacturer intended.
The latex topper is key to comfort and longevity.
Without it, you’d be throwing more of your money away.
 
Stores won’t display this.
It’s counter to their objective of making you a frequent customer.

When sleeping, your adjustable bed base should be in the flat position.
These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.

Advice on a Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

Joy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I just came across your website and was reading your advice on luxury plush pillowtop mattresses. 
I recently purchased a Beautyrest Luxury Firm Pillowtop mattress.  
While it seemed super comfortable in the store, once I started sleeping on it, the padding in the pillowtop compressed and became too firm for me.  
I added a 2" memory foam topper and while that helped with the comfort, it did so for only a short time and makes me hot.  
I planned on exchanging my mattress for the Luxury Plush version of the same mattress.  
However, after reading some of your advice about how bad they are, I am having second thoughts.  
So now, I am thinking about trying out one of your Talalay Latex toppers.   
I am a side-sleeper and I have arthritis in my hips and that is what is really hurting me.  
I am 5'8" and 125 pounds.  
I am really looking for the soft, cloud-like feel.  
Would you recommend a 2" or a 3" for me?  
Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!
Best regards, Joy 
 
Hi Joy,
Given how slender you are, you would benefit most from the Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
You'll find that it does not sleep hot and it a whole lot more comfortable than memory foam.
This WILL produce that 'cloud-like' feel you want...and will remain that way for many years.
I suggest that you exchange that pillowtop  for the Luxury Firm tight-top model before adding the latex topper.
Here is the link. You can order online.

Simmons Beautyrest Holiday Inn Mattress

Jacob writes:
 
Good morning,
I am trying to recreate, as close as possible, the feeling of the Simmons Beautyrest from Holiday Inn Express.
I found your email and read how hotels' plush models wear out faster and why and am willing to get a longer-lasting mattress as you describe here: https://themattressexpert.com/2017/09/08/simmons-beautyrest-mattress-they-have-at-holiday-inn-express-hotel/
 
My wife and I are tall. I am 6'3". I weigh 250lbs she weighs 200 lbs. We prefer a firm mattress.
Can you quote me for both a Queen and King size mattress, including delivery fees​
Thank you, Jacob
 
Hi Jacob,
The plush models use a very thin wire for the coils, which is only one problem.
The memory foam upholstery in every model doesn’t wear well, either.
For these reasons, we recommend using a latex topper with one of their firmer models.
The latex topper insulates you from the memory foam and causes the mattress to remain like new for many years.
 
Based of your sizes, the appropriate choices are:
The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm Mattress 
The Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper 
 
Here are links to both products:

PURE TALALAY BLISS 2 INCH LATEX MATTRESS TOPPER
PURE TALALAY BLISS 2 INCH LATEX MATTRESS TOPPER
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Both are delivered free and there’s no sales tax.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.
