We have had 5 memory foam mattresses in 5 years!

Hi Pete,
We have had 5 memory foam mattresses in 5 years!  
Actually, my husband is still on the memory foam. I'm currently sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. 
That's how bad my body hurts.  I've tried everything. 
I've turned the "no flip" on the hard side and added a memory foam topper .
I've added another memory foam topper on top of the "good" side of the mattress. 
After having read and reread your website, I am currently wondering whether a firm latex mattress topper over the memory foam mattress will help - or am I just wasting more money?
 
I am 66 - my husband is 75. I weigh 165 lbs. and sleep on my side. 
My husband weighs 200 lbs. and sleeps on his back.  
 
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Darlene 
 
Hi Darlene,
Since you’ve read my blog, you must have figured out that your problem has been the memory foam all along.
No. Adding a firm latex topper to the top of a memory foam mattress will not produce the results you’re looking for.
 
Your memory foam mattress isn’t all memory foam.
The memory foam is only on the top.
The memory foam is supported by high density poly foam.
 
As a first step, buy a Suite Sleep 100% Pure All Natural 3” Soft Dunlop Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Suite Sleep LATEXTOP-2__17542.1554768346

When it arrives, flip your mattress over and add the latex topper.
Get rid of all your memory foam toppers. They’re worthless.
 
Doing this will give you firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.
When the time comes to buy a new mattress, get a firm individually pocketed coil innerspring.
You can use that same latex topper on top of it.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Latex Mattress Shipping to Alaska.

Irene writing:

Hello Pete,
I have a couple of questions for you.  
First, I live in Juneau, Alaska.  
We have had a mattress we have loved for many years, but we finally realized we need to replace it.  
It’s the Sealy Champagne SpringFree, 100% latex core mattress.  
Do you know which of your mattresses is the closest to that one?  
 
We have two mattress stores here.  
I’m going to see what they can do for us today, but I’d like to know what you can do as well.  
I have a feeling they won’t carry a chemical free mattress, even though, I did buy our mattress here. 
I feel it was a lucky fluke.
Do we need to change out our box spring or can we use the same one we have? 
Do they wear out?  
 
Can you ship to Alaska Marine Lines in Seattle?  
They can ship the mattress the rest of the way to us, if that works for you?
 
Thank you for your help,
Irene 
 
Hi Irene,
Natura does not ship directly to Juneau.
I can deliver to your shipper in Seattle.
 
Natura’s all latex mattresses are similarly made to the old Sealy SpringFree.
You wouldn’t have the polyurethane foam layer on top, as you had with the Sealy.
And, the latex in the Natura mattresses is Natural Talalay Latex, which is a blend of natural and synthetic latex.
The latex in the Sealy SpringFree is all synthetic.
 
Here is a link to that line of mattresses: 
NaturaLatex-Bourdolay-Mattress
 
The Bourdolay Plush is the most popular.
After all these years, you should replace the foundation. A new mattress on an old foundation voids the warranty.
It's a lot to risk, to save so little.
Shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Replacing a Sealy Reflexion Latex Mattress.

Denise writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We are looking to replace our current mattress and box spring.  
We currently have a king size -Reflexion latex foam mattress Venice Beach by Sealy.
We both have loved it, but it is 12 years old.   
I have seen that Sealy has been bought out.  
What mattress would you recommend replacing it with?
Thank you!
Denise
 
Hi Denise,
There’s a couple of ways to go about this.
To answer your question, there are two mattresses that I’d recommend.
Both are all latex...natural latex.
Your Venice Beach is comprised of synthetic latex and polyurethane foam on top.
The Suite Sleep Portfolio Latex Mattress is closest in feel to the Venice Beach.
Suite Sleep Portfolio
This mattress ships vis ups.
Your foundation shouldn’t need replacing.
 
The Natura of Canada Tropical Eurotop Plush Latex Mattress.
Although, you’re likely to be happy with the Bourdolay Plush.
Both, shown here: 
 
Natura Tropical Euro Top
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress
The Natura mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
 
A much less expensive, alternate solution Is to flip your mattress over and add a soft latex topper to it.
The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is what to get for that.
Shown here: 
 
In all cases, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

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 Dreams

These mattresses are, currently, on sale.
You would use the coupon code, ssm10, when you check out, which will reduce the price shown by an additional 10%.
 
UPS shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

My husband and I have been sleeping on an all latex mattress since we first got married.
That mattress has made it to our 25th anniversary, which we recently celebrated.
We have sleep well over the last 25 years and wish to continue to do so.
Our mattress needs replacing, at this point, and we want to replace it with the same thing.
We want an all natural latex mattress.
Do you have them for sale on your website?
Thanks, Nancy

A Latex Mattress Topper for People with a Latex Allergy.

Hi Pete,
I like what I read on your blog about latex mattress toppers.
I need to make my mattress more comfortable.
My question is in regard to my latex allergy.
Do you offer a latex topper that won't cause an allergic reaction?
Thanks, Louisa
 
Hi Louisa,
In fact, we do carry a latex mattress topper that won't cause you an allergic reaction.
First off, it's unlikely for you to react to any latex foam topper.
When latex is processed into a foam, removal of most of the allergen in included, rendering latex foam hypoallergenic.
A more resent step has been added to the Dunlop process, called Vytex Dunlop.
This process removes the final small amount of allergen.
For the greatest degree of surface comfort, the EverEden All Natural 3" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper is the one to get.
Shown here:

Poor Sleep on a Tempur-Pedic Mattress.

Vicki writes:
 
HELP??  
Three years ago, my husband and I purchased the Tempur-Pedic split king adjustable bed. 
We have the cool top medium firm.  
Neither one of us gets a good night's sleep on this bed.
It was too expensive for us to ditch, so we continue to get night after night of poor sleep.  
I tried a 2” foam topper on my side to see if that helped but I still didn’t feel comfortable.  
 
Do you have a topper solution?  
I prefer a softer bed, my husband has terrible back issues and prefers a firm mattress.
I anxiously await your answer.
Thanks, Vicki 
 
 
 
Hi Vicki,
Despite all the hype to the contrary, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
Fortunately for you, that mattress is not all memory foam.
The memory foam is only on the top.
Flip your mattress over to the high density poly foam side.
Do that today, and you will both sleep better tonight.
 
Use the topper you bought for your side, which I’m guessing is also memory foam, until your latex topper arrives.
I suggest the Pure Bliss 3” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
PURE TALALAY BLISS 2 INCH LATEX MATTRESS TOPPER
This topper provides excellent surface comfort that does not negate the underlying firm support your husband needs for his back.
So, you can get it in a king size, or 2 twin-xl so that the mattress will be the same height on each side, if that’s important to you.
 
Shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.
In the future, your husband’s back requires an innerspring mattress....one with no memory foam upholstery in it.
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Forever Foundation Mattress Support for Very Heavy People.

Brooke writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm interested in the Forever Foundation.
We need better support for our mattress.
My husband and I are very heavy. I'm 300 lbs. and he's a bit heavier.
We have an all latex mattress, which is good for us.
But we've broken 3 box springs and as many bed frames.
Can we get delivery to a remote area in WV?
Thanks, Brooke
 
Hi Brooke,
The Forever Foundation is specifically designed to hold very heavy people.
It comes with a lifetime guarantee, so this will be the last time you'll have to buy support for your mattress.
UPS delivery is free and can be sent anywhere within the continental USofA.
Here is a link to the Forever Foundations:

A Mattress that will hold a 300 lb. woman with Fibromyalgia and a Latex Allergy.

Tammy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I am big woman, 300 lbs.
My husband bought me a new mattress for Christmas. Now, it's totally shot.
I need something strong enough to hold me and comfortable enough for my fibromyalgia.
I have read, on your blog, that latex wears the best. But, I'm allergic to latex.
My brother has a latex mattress and tells me that it won't be a problem, since it doesn't touch the skin.
But, I'm still afraid of having an allergic reaction.
What words of wisdom do you have for me?
What can I buy that will work?
Thanks, Tammy
 
Hi Tammy,
There is more to this latex allergy thing...something you may not know and haven't taken into consideration.
Latex used for gloves and bandages have not had the allergen removed.
The allergen is the protein that is naturally present in the sap of the rubber tree...the source of latex.
When processed into foam, the process includes a 5-stage washing that removes the vast majority of the protein...rendering it Hypo-Allergenic.  
Add to that, the cover, a waterproof mattress protector, and your sheets...and your skin doesn't even come close to coming in direct contact with the latex.
Your latex allergy won't be a problem for you.
 
Latex is, by far, the most resilient upholstery material on the planet...and has been for the last 100 years.
Many of today's mattresses are upholstered with memory foam. 
Memory foam is worthless, and why your mattress didn't wear well.
You only got a few months form your, due to your size.
Average weight people don't get more than a couple/few years...so, you're not alone in this.
 
Latex, high quality latex, NOT processed in China, is kind of expensive.
However, if you had to buy a new mattress twice a year, a long-lasting latex mattress is far less expensive in the long run.
Given you size and fibromyalgia, I suggest starting with a plush latex mattress.
The Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush is the latex mattress I'm recommending to you.
Shown here:
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress
Fibromyalgia tends to be progressive.
The degree of softness need at the surface of the mattress will depend on the severity of your fibromyalgia.
If you need more surface softness than this mattress provides, that can be adjusted.
The next step, should it be necessary, is to add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The latex topper is extremely comfortable and very long lasting.
What's more, the latex topper absorbs a great deal of your body weight, saving the mattress from wear.
The topper can be replaced in the years to come, at far less expense than a new mattress.
 
Should your condition worsen, then you may need to add a comforter top.
These are extremely soft...requiring daily fluffing and frequent replacing.
This is why we recommend not starting with one of these.
When and if this becomes necessary, you're better off with a comforter made of synthetic down.
Synthetic down wears better that real down.
Bed Bath and Beyond is a good place to look for that.
 
The recommended mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Deliver includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax. 
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete
