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.

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.

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.

Sealy Venice Beach Reflexion Latex Mattress Needs Replacing.

Stan writes:

 

Hi Pete.

I read much of your info last night, that we’re off the memory foam idea. Thanks for the warning.

 

According to what I've read on your blog, my Venice Beach “latex” failed because it really wasn’t 100%  latex.

The non latex material, (the poly foam), is what failed over time. 

So as I look at latex moving forward, I’m locked in to 100% latex product like Pure Talalay Latex Bliss or Natura or EverEden.

 

That raises the question of 100% organic, pure latex or a blend of pure/synthetic latex. 

Also, the Dunlop process vs. Talalay...Should I be concerned about a blended product relative to durability? 

I read conflicting material about one being stronger than the other. Or, are we splitting hairs at this point?

 

Thanks for your time, Stan

 

 

Hi Stan,

That's right. It was the poly foam used to soften the top of the Venice Beach that compressed.

When it comes to latex, there are a few different ones and some need to be avoided.

Whatever anyone is selling, it's the best....making an objective viewpoint hard to come by.

 

The original and still the most durable, is Dunlop. 

The Talalay process is the same as the Dunlop, with a freezing step added to the process. 

This freezing step suspends the particles, making for a more supple feel.

The particles settle in the Dunlop process, making for a more dense material.

 

Synthetic latex is a molecular clone of natural latex. No toxic chemicals are used to make it.

 

Mixing synthetic to natural latex, makes the end result more consistent, while the feel of all natural latex can vary from batch to batch.

However, synthetic latex is not as durable as natural latex...but, the difference is small.

Those would be from Pure Talalay Bliss.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/pure-latexbliss/

Talalay Bliss Natural Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com Pure Talalay Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Mattresses provide excellent long lasting support comfort.

During the process of turning liquid latex into foam, it goes through a 5 stage washing, which removes most of the protein, the allergen, that is naturally found in latex and is common in latex gloves and bandages. This, typically, manifests itself as a topical allergy. The finished product has enough of the allergen removed to be called hypo-allergenic.

 

We offer latex that is certified to be completely allergen free....Vytex Dunlop Latex...used in the EverEden Latex Mattresses.

Shown here:

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

 

Pure, All Natural Latex, in and of itself, is organic.

What makes a latex mattress organic, is the other materials used to finish the mattress...like the cotton cover and the wool used as a natural flame retardant. The cotton must be organically grown and the wool must come from sheep that are fed an organic diet.

It's these details that make an organic latex mattress so expensive...like the Natura of Canada Organic Latex Mattresses, shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-organic-mattresses/

Natura Organic Mattresses & Foundation For Sale | The ... themattressexpert.com The natural solution to healthy sleep is with Natura Organic Mattresses and Foundations. The Mattress Expert Now Ships to Canada!

 

In a way, this can be considered splitting hairs, as any of these latex mattresses are infinitely better than any poly foam or memory foam.

All of the above perform equally well and are extremely durable.

The exception to all this, is latex made in China, where they add clay as a filler...still sold as natural, as clay is a natural material.

The clay makes it cheaper to make and greatly affects the longevity...not lasting nearly as long.

 

 

All of your options come with free delivery and no sales tax.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Adjustable Bed Base for a Natura Latex Mattress to Relieve Gerd.

Eric writes:

 

Hey Pete,

I have a Natura latex mattress. I have a problem with GERD.

My doctor is telling me to raise the head of my bed. Do you have an adjustable base that will work with this type of mattress?

Thanks, Eric

 

 

Hi Eric,

All you need do, is tilt the bed.

You can do that with any adjustable bed frame. Ours has a "Tilt Feature" which allows the mattress to remain flat.

Your mattress will work with any adjustable bed frame.

But, before you spend a ton of money on one, you can test to see how well that works, for only a few dollars.

Best Buy has "Bed Risers" that you can use to prop up the head of your bed, which will provide the "TILT" you need.

They look like this:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Ever-Eden All Natural 9" Latex Mattress.

Tom writes:

 

Hi Pete,

On this Ever Eden all natural latex mattress...9\" -( 6\" Dunlop + 3\" Talalay): 

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

 

Your product web page says it can be \"glued or not glued\". 

Sounds like the owner would apply the glue, since the order page says nothing about this, correct? And, where might I find the info. for adhesives?  

Thank You, Tom

 

Hi Tom,

The option of gluing the Talalay layer to the Dunlop layer is for the sake of those sensitive to the chemical compound of the glue.

Used as a flat mattress, the glue is not needed. The two latex foam layers grip each other well enough that the glue is unnecessary.

The only time you would need them glued is if you were using the mattress on an adjustable bed base.

The gluing is done at the factory. It's not for you to do after the mattress is made.

When ordering, simply leave me a note about whether or not you want them glued.
