A Plush Latex Topper for a Too Firm Simmons Beautyrest Mattress?

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete:  

I just bought the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Luxury Firm mattress.  

Sadly, it feels much much much firmer than the floor model at the store.  

It feels more like an extra-firm than a luxury firm.  Not comfortable. 

I've been waking, each morning, feeling a bit sore across my shoulder blade area.  

I'm not sure what to do.

Do I keep the bed as is for while and hope it gets a little softer?  

Do I keep the bed and get a latex topper? 

Do i just exchange it for the plush model?  

I'm in a bit of a quandary about next steps...Thoughts?

Thanks, Karen!!

 

Hi Karen,

A brand new mattress will always be firmer than the floor sample.

Exchanging it for a plush model will be a huge mistake.

If you research reviews for Simmons Beautyrest, online, you'll find those reviews to be horrible.

The reason why they are so bad, is due to the plush and plush pillowtop models.

The gauge of wire used to make the coils is much thinner and does not hold up.

 In addition, the memory foam will easily begin to sag.

So, waiting for it to soften up is not a good choice, either.

 

Adding a plush latex topper will:

Provide you with an extraordinary comfortable sleeping surface comfort...

And, due to the resiliency of latex, will absorb your body weight and cause the mattress to remain like new for many years longer than the manufacturer intended.

a high quality, US made latex topper is an excellent value...one of the few products that more than pays for itself.

It's a permanent solution to your problem.

 

Add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural talalay Latex Topper to the mattress you have.

You will love the feel, which will remain like new for many years.

A Pure Bliss Natural Latex Topper to Fix a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I would like to order your Pure Bliss natural latex mattress toppers.   

I am about to have a second spinal fusion after a previous fusion in 2011.  

We have turned our Tempurpedic memory foam mattress sideways to try and stretch it's life.  

We bought this only a few years ago. It was very expensive, and my back pain is killing.  

Do you think it might work, to put the topper on this mattress?  

Or should I just put the money toward a new mattress? 

 

I really really appreciate your blog and any input you give.  

We are both large people (both 6’) and weigh 230/250.  

Thanks for any suggestions, Karen

 

 

Hi Karen,

The memory foam on the top of your mattress is useless, and adds to your back pain.

That memory foam, on top, is supported by high density poly foam that is significantly firmer.

Despite being mad to be one sided, the underside is usable and will provide better support for your back.

Flip that mattress over today. Your back will feel better tomorrow.

However, the underside is likely to be too firm to sleep on comfortably.

 

Your best option is to add a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to the flip side of your mattress.

Together, you'll have what your body needs...firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

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

Contrast that with memory foam, which has proven to be the worst upholstery material, over its 20 year history.

Natura Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress for DDD and Lower Back Pain.

Theresa writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I see in the post that you and your wife enjoy the Natura Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush mattress.

And in another post you noted you use the 3 inch latex mattress topper.

Do you use both? 

Since the mattress touts a 3 inches of latex upholstery, is the detachable topper necessary? 

 

Is this a good combination for someone with pain from DDD (degenerative disc disease) and lower back pain? 

 

What would this combo cost in queen size?  I live in Texas

Thank you in advance for your time.

Best regards, Theresa

 

Good Morning Theresa,

We do use a 3" Plush Pure Talalay Bliss natural Talalay latex topper on that mattress.

We sell a lot of those mattresses. Most people do not buy an additional topper for it.

My wife is a big girl with a sensitive hip, which is why we added the topper.

I have lots of disc related back problems, including DDD, Herniated and bulging discs, for which this mattress works well to relieve the pain I used to live with.

I sleep and wake with no back pain. 

And even though I don't need the topper for the pain relief, it does provide another layer of extra comfort.

 

I suggest buying the mattress without the latex topper. 

You can always add that later, if you feel it necessary for extra softness at the surface,

 

Here are links to the Natura of Canada Greenspring Line of Mattress...showing all four models, 

The Ultra Plush Model, and to the Latex Toppers. There's plenty of information on all those pages.

A Pure Bliss Talalay Latex Topper for a Too Firm Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Gordy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I recently came across your website. 

Unfortunately, that was after already purchasing a mattress from a local retail store. 

After laying on several, my girlfriend and I ended up going with a Sealy Posturepedic cushion firm. 

We knew we needed something that was firmer, as opposed to too soft, where you sink in too much. 

We both are predominantly side sleepers and occasionally back sleepers. 

We've only slept on this mattress one night, and I know they say to give it time to break in. 

However, after one night, we both tossed and turned a lot and woke up with upper and lower back pain. 

We also have sore shoulders and neck muscles. Is this normal or is it likely too firm of a mattress?

 

I was looking at your Pure Bliss natural talalay latex toppers. 

I don't know if purchasing one of these would be a safer and cheaper route than exchanging the mattress. 

My fear is exchanging for something softer, such as a plush model, it be too soft and being stuck with that. 

I've read it's better to have firmer to make it softer vs having too soft and no options to make it firmer.

We are really torn here. 

I've read testimonials and posts where you've helped many with good recommendations. 

What would you recommend?

Thanks for your time, Gordy

 

Hi Gordy,

That is an easy fix.

You have half of what your body needs to sleep well...firm support.

What you're missing is the soft sleeping surface to relieve pressure points and relax muscles.

There is nothing better for long lasting comfort than natural Talalay latex.

Add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to your mattress. 

The feel will transform what you have into an extremely comfortable and supportive mattress.

Here is a link to the latex toppers. You can order online.

Which Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Which Pure Bliss Latex Topper?

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in the market for a new mattress. 

My current mattress is approx 8 years old pillow-top model. 

When I lay down to sleep, I can feel the body impression I've created after 8 years of use.

 

I've visited a handful of stores and tried a variety of mattresses. 

My current mattress experience has made me wary of pillow-tops, so I'm considering other options. 

Of the mattresses I've tried, I liked the Simmons Beautyrest the best. 

I'm considering that and getting a Pure Bliss latex topper to add for comfort, as you've suggested in your blog.

 

Would you be so kind as to please share your thoughts on which mattress to get.

Is it better to get the Luxury/Medium Firm or the Extra Firm, and then buy the latex topper? Which topper?

If it helps, I don't have any one particular way of sleeping. rather, It's a combo of back, side and stomach. 

It's just me: 5'5", 150

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

Latex is the best, (Most Comfortable, Most Resilient), upholstery material on the market.

Pure Bliss is thee name brand in latex. Their US made Talalay Latex is the finest latex available.

Latex resists body impressions, remaining like new for many years.

 

The individually pocketed coils, of the Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, contour to the shape of the body and maintains the natural alignment of the spine. THIS is why you liked it better than others.

For your size, I recommend the Platinum Series Beautyrest.

The Luxury/Medium Firm is better for supporting the curves of a female body.

The Extra Firm will create too much pressure at the hip.

Here is our link to that mattress:

The Pure Talalay Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Toppers are available in Plush or Firm, at 2" or 3" thick.

For you, you will use the Plush. For most women, the 3" is prefered, which better cushions you at the hip.

We use a 3" Plush Topper at home, for my wife's sensitive hip.

Platform Bed and a Latex Topper for a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex Mattress

Hi Pete,

I found your website while researching the internet for information on our current mattress.  

We purchased a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex mattress, more than 10 years ago.

 

This mattress is very heavy and we are looking to purchase a platform bed that will be strong enough to hold it.  

I was hoping you would have an idea of how much this mattress weighs.

 

Also, while reading your question and answer section, I noticed that you recommended flipping the mattress.  

Can this mattress be flipped?  It would be great if we could continue to enjoy it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Karen and Ken

 

 

Hi Karen and Ken,

That mattress is about 200 Lbs.

Be sure that any platform bed you buy has all the needed center supports.

 

Yes, you can continue to use and enjoy that mattress.

They were topped with plush poly foam, which is the part that wears.

Flipping the mattress brings the latex core to the top.

The latex core is very firm...too firm for comfort.

Add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to the flip side. 

It will become very comfortable and last for many years.

Shoulder and Back Pain on a Charles P Rogers Estate 9000 Mattress.

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have and shoulder and back pain with the mattress I recently bought. 

I called Charles P Rogers to find out what mattress I purchased. 

It's called an Estate 9000.

 

Let me know what you think about the mattress and how do I relieve my pain?
Thanks, and have a good day, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

The only thing about that mattress, that bothers me, is the slow response latex.

Slow response latex mimics memory foam.

Why anyone would want to do that to latex, beats me.

I can’t help but feel that it's the slow response Latex causing your problems...as would memory foam.

 

The mattress is, basically, a good mattress.

I suggest a Pure Bliss 3” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

When it arrives, try it on top, then flip the mattress and add it to the firm side.

Use whichever side works better for you.

I can’t help but feel the firm side will work better.

Back Pain on a Simmons Beautyrest Plush Pillowtop Mattress.

Terry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am 150 lb female side sleeper. 

I recently purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Plush Pillowtop mattress. 

And although my shoulder and hip pain is improved, I now have back pain and feel like my hips sink in too far.

I am within my 60 days to do a reselection.

 

I have read your blog and feel like my best option would be a firmer mattress with a latex topper. 

You talk about the Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm with a Pure Bliss 3" latex topper. 

I think that is the direction I would like to go.

How do I find the same mattress at another store?

Can you send me the link for that latex topper, to put on my new mattress?

Thank you, Terry

 

Hi Terry,

The model name for each mattress will be different at every store.

However, there is only one Luxury Firm non-pillowtop model in the Platinum Series....which is how you'll ask for it.

Here is a link to the Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper:

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Bigger Guy?

James writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am purchasing a mattress for the first time.

I've always slept on mattresses which were hand me downs from family and such. 

The last new mattress that my parents bought me, ended up causing me a lot of back pain. 

It developed a large "dent" in the middle of the bed where I slept after only 2 years or so.

 

I am a bigger guy, 5'11 and 220 lbs. 

I saw, on your blog, that you recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring to bigger people. 

Would that apply to me too? 

The price is just a bit out of my price range. 

I was hoping to spend $1,500, max, for a queen size mattress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in this matter. 

Thank you for your time, James

 

Hi James,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is the highest quality line of mattresses I could find at the industry trade show

It's what we sleep on at home. We, too, are large people. We have the Ultra Plush model.

However, I do have a lower cost alternative.

The best for the least, is an Old Fashion Two-Sided Mattress...The Brolynn Plush:

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

Wolf Double Sided Flippable Mattresses | The Mattress Expert Introducing the Duo-Comfort mattress, providing your customer with comfort options in one single mattress. The Duo-Comfort is a 11″ double-sided mattress that has a firm side and a plush side. themattressexpert.com

 

Even though the comfort designation is "plush", it's quite a bit firmer than other "plush" mattresses.

Add to that, a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

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

The latex will absorb your body weight, which will greatly extend the life of the mattress.

Plush Latex is extremely comfortable and remains like new for many years.

Together, they fall below your maximum budget.
