Saatva or Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress to Relieve Back Pain.

Jeff writes:

 

Greetings,

I am 64 years old and have back problems.  I have an old Stearns & Foster mattress, which I have loved for many years but it needs to be replaced.  

It is my understanding they are not as good as they use to be?  

My friend just gave me a new $7000.00 TempurPedic Firm mattress, which I was excited to get. But so far, it has not worked out.  

I wake up with a sore back every morning and have been using it for about a week.  I was thinking about maybe getting a topper for it?  

I also went and looked and Sleep Number beds on the suggestion of a friend and they seem okay but who knows until you sleep on them?  

I don’t know if memory foam is going to be the way to go for me and I have my doubts about latex as well?  

I talked to the people at Zenhaven, which is a Saatva latex product, and they suggested the Saatva Luxury Firm mattress.  

I wanted to get your suggestions on the Saatva Luxury Firm vs. the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush?  

I do like a soft, sinking feel but know I need the support for my back issues?

Thank you so much for your help, Jeff 

 

 

Hi Jeff,

Any and every all foam mattress, along with the Sleep Number air mattress, do not provide the push back support your spine needs to relieve you of your back pain.

I’m 66 with lots of back damage. I live without pain due to the mattress I sleep on.

It is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

I suggest the same for you.

Mattress Recommendation for Large People who Wake Sore and Achy.

Sarah writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are mattress shopping because we are unhappy with our current one. It is a king size Heritage Copper Latex Collection - Legacy. 

It is still fairly new, (less than 3 years old), but I wake up sore and achy. Also, it is leaving body impressions especially on my husband's side of the bed. 

This seems to also create a "hump" in the middle. We are both large people - hubby is 350 and I'm 250. 

We wanted a latex mattress and this one was sold as such. It sits on a platform bed frame, no box springs, just wooden slats and a bunkie board. 

I've wondered if an insufficient foundation could be the problem too? We even purchased a latex topper to try to help but it hasn't done much. 

The topper we got was Pure Green™ Natural Latex Mattress Topper - King / 3" / Soft (20 ILD). 

This is where you come in - HELP! 

Where did we go wrong with our current mattress/topper set-up and what would be a better option? 

We are ready to scrap it all and start over new if needed. I just want to get a good night's sleep!

Thanks, Sarah

 

Hi Sarah,

It’s possible that you can work with what you have.

Starting from the bottom, up...look under the platform bed to see what support it has.

The cross slats should be supported by a center beam, which should have legs that support it to the floor.

If unsure, email me with a photo of the entire undercarriage.

 

What I would suggest you do, today, is:

Remove the latex topper.

Flip the mattress over, (despite it being one sided).

Then add the latex topper back on it.

 

Let me know what the result of sleeping on that is, tomorrow.

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

Flipping the mattress and placing the topper back on helped a little. 

The hump in the middle and the body impressions were gone but it still felt a little lumpy somehow. 

Attached are some pictures of the platform bed supports. There is a middle beam with legs that support it to the floor. 

Please let me know your thoughts. 

Thanks, Sarah 

 

Hi Sarah,

The support section looks good.

Now that you’ve flipped the mattress and added the latex topper, the question to you, “Is it comfortable enough to get a decent night’s sleep?”.

You might want to wait a couple/few nights before answering that question.

If so, you’ve put off the purchase of a new mattress.

How long?, is hard to say...a wait and see situation.

 

Here are mattresses to use with you’re latex topper, that is a good choice for your sizes.

Neck and Shoulder Pain from an Old Latex Mattress.

Hi Pete,

 

My wife and I have had a high quality latex mattress for 16 years now. It has truly been a

great mattress.

Every year or two we either rotate or flip it and it does not appear to show any signs of

failing. My wife sleeps mostly on her side and I sleep mostly on my stomach or back.

She sleeps great, but for a year or so now, I wake up with neck and shoulder pain. I

noticed that when I travel and sleep on an innerspring mattress with a pillow top I wake

up feeling much better. 

We don't think the latex mattress is failing, and my wife still loves it, so replacing it may

not solve the problem.

Do you have any insights or recommendations?        

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
The news is all good, with a reasonably inexpensive and long term fix to your problem.
Latex takes a long time to wear. And how it wears is the best part. It generally
becomes firmer, which is why it isn't as comfortable as it once was. The good thing 
about that, is you still have plenty of support, which means you don't need a new mattress.

Simply add an EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper to your mattress.  You will be good to
go with a very comfortable sleeping surface that will last for years to come.

We Loved Our All Latex Mattress.

Brenda writes:

Hi Pete,

Many years ago, we had an all latex mattress, that we loved.

Since then, none of the mattresses we've purchased have been as comfortable for us.

We are in our 70's and my husband is a big man.

We would like to get back to an all latex mattress, but don't know where to start.

My husband would like our current mattress to be removed when the new one is delivered.

But, I can get someone to take it away, if I can, otherwise, save some money.

Can you offer a couple of suggestions?

Thanks, Brenda

 

 

Hi Brenda,

This mattress that comes with white glove delivery and removal of the old set, is made by Natura of Canada.

The Bourdolay Plush model is the most popular.

Shown here:

Natura of Canada, All Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com Natural Talalay, All Latex Mattresses. Natura uses only the highest quality materials available for their Latex Mattresses….(No Chemicals and No Fillers)…with pricing that is more competitive than many other brands of similar quality.

Please take note: The price that shows on this page is dictated by the factory.

They don’t permit me to show the discounted price.

When you click on that mattress, the next page will give you the final discounted price.

 

 

Here is a link to the EverEden Pure All Natural Latex Mattresses.

These are shrink wrapped, boxed, and shipped via UPS.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

 

The prices shown reflect the discounted price.

The latex in these mattresses is pure latex...a little higher quality at a lower price.

The trade off is the delivery.

You’ll need someone on your end to bring it in and dispose of the old mattress.

 

In either case, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Thanks, Pete

A 400 Lb Man Can Sleep Like a Baby on a Natura Natural Latex Mattresses.

Nick writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I been trying for a few weeks to research to find an appropriate mattress so I can sleep like a baby.    

The last mattress I bought was a memory foam type. It was very good at the start but ‎got worse over time.. 

Now, I can't even turn and toss in bed as it feels like exercise!   

I'm a male, almost 400 lbs., sleep on my back, side and stomach.  

I'm looking for a king size mattress. I swear it sometimes feels as if sleeping on the floor is more comfortable!   

Is there any mattress you can suggest?   

I spend 1/3 of my life in bed, and I need to start sleeping properly for once and for all. 

I live in Canada, so not sure if that's an issue as I noticed you do ship products here.  

I appreciate your feedback. 

Thanks, Nick 

 

Hi Nick,

No mattresses made in The States, can't be shipped to Canada without a lot of fees, tariffs, and taxes....making them way too expensive.

Happily, we also carry a high quality line of mattresses that are made in Canada.

White Glove Delivery within the US and Canada is free, and without having to charge you any of your national sales tax.

 

The king of mattress that will hold up best under a 400 lb man is all, natural latex.

Since you find the floor fairly comfortable, I suggest their "Bourdolay Firm" model.

You can always soften it with a softer latex topper, if you later feel it necessary.

Back and Shoulder Pain from a Plush Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Joe writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I saw your website, and would like to ask for your advice.

I have a lot of issues with 2 primary areas: lower back and shoulder/neck. 

For years, a firm mattress  was very comfortable for me, but when my neck/shoulder pain started up, I found I couldn't sleep on it any longer. 

I didn't try a topper then. Instead, I bought a new mattress, a plush Simmons Beautyrest. 

The problem is that the mattress is too soft for my back, but wonderful for my shoulder/neck area. 

When my back hurts from having slept on this Beautyrest mattress, I sleep on a wool topper + camping mattress on the floor. 

Then my back feels much better, but my shoulder and neck feel awful. 

Help! I'm not sure what I need to try next. Is the Simmons Beautyrest known as being a too soft mattress? 

Is there anything I could try to make it firmer for my lower back, but to keep the plush cushioning for my shoulder/neck area? 

Is there another combination that you suggest trying?

Thanks in advance, Joe

 

Hi Joe,

There are two problems with that Simmons Beautyrest, that could have been avoided.

Their plush models are made plush by thinning the steel from which the coils are made, which provides a greater depth of softness.

And, the upholstery is memory foam, which isn't resilient and adds to the over-all softness.

If you had looked at reviews, on line, for Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, you would have found that they are horrible.

The reason why they are soo bad, is due to the the way they're bought and sold.

When you walk into a store, the salesperson takes the path of least resistance and recommends that your choice be based on comfort.

As a result, most people will buy a plush or pillowtop model. Nether holds up well, hence all the poor reviews.

The thinner wire coils and the memory foam in the pillowtops cause premature wear and pain, due the poor support.

If you look at the Simmons Beautyrest models, on our website, you will find NO Plush or Pillowtop models listed.

Even though I have them available to me for sale, I won't sell them because they are soo consumer unfriendly.

 

You don't mention your size, so let me give you the information I use to determine which model I recommend.

The choice depends on the pressure that will be placed upon the mattress.

Smaller size adults: The Simmons Beautyrest Silver Series Great Lakes Cove in Luxury Firm.

Average size adults: The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm.

Heavy adults (200-250 lbs.): The Simmons Beautyrest Black Series Desiree in Luxury Firm

 

These will provide the firmer support your spine needs.

However, all of them are upholstered with memory foam. 

To overcome the memory foam and provide surface comfort that sleeps cool and remains like new for many years, add an EverEden 2" Soft Latex Topper.

This sleep system combination is tried and true...has been for the last 15 years.

You will love both, the support and the comfort it provides.

Mattress Recommendation for a Heavy Person.

Dan writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

What mattress would you recommend for me?

I like a very firm mattress, with no pillow top.

I'm a side sleeper who is a heavy person.

Thanks, Dan

 

Hi Dan,

The most comfortable mattress that will relieve pressure points at the shoulder and hip, for a side sleeper, is all latex.

Latex is extremely comfortable and equally resilient....ideal for a large person.

We carry a number of brands: Pure Talalay Bliss, Natura, EverEden, PalmPring.

All are natural and some are organic.

Here is a link where you can view all of them.

Latex Mattress for use on an Adjustable Bed Base.

Maya writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I bought a latex mattress from you, maybe 10 years ago. My sister, who lives in Boston, slept on my mattress and liked it.  

She is interested in a mattress similar to mine, but it can be a "better" one. 

She recently bought a tempurpedic and hates it and is returning it. 

She also bought an adjustable bed base, which she cannot return, She wants a mattress that can work with the adjustable bed base.

What do you suggest?

Thanks, Maya

 

Hi Maya,

The EverEden Latex Mattresses are 100% pure, all natural latex....the finest quality latex available, anywhere.

The most comfortable of them, is the 9" model...and will work well with an adjustable bed base.

Tulah Firm Mattresses for Large People.

Kristine writes:

 

Hello, Peter,

I recently came across your, oh-so-helpful, website with information on mattresses for larger people. 

You had recommended The Wolf Company's Tulah in firm. 

However, it does not appear to be available in King size. Will it be available in King eventually/soon?  

If not, which of the other King options would you recommend for a close to 400 lb person?

Thanks, Kristine

 

 

Hi Kristine,

The Tulah firm is not available in king size.

 

I have a daughter at that weight.

There's nothing more resilient than pure, all natural latex.

Here is the mattress she has.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

It's the 8" model...using a firm core and medium top layer.

Mattresses for a Murphy bed.

Hi Pete, 

You helped me previously with mattress toppers and we’ve has such good sleep- so thank you!

 

I’m coming to you again to see if you have any suggestions for a good mattress for a Murphy bed.  

So many of the mattresses nowadays are so much thicker and it’s hard to find a thinner mattress that will fit in our system and that is comfortable.  

Any suggestions?  

 

Thanks so much!

Mo

 

 

Hi Mo,

Welcome back.

 

If this Murphy Bed is used for guests, I suggest one of these Two Sided mattresses.

The thinnest is the Tulah in firm.
