Avocado mattress for a very large man?

John writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I've been reading your blog, but have not found anything regarding The Avocado Mattress.

I'm a very large man, 6' 5" and weigh 325 lbs.

I just ordered an Avocado mattress and am wondering what your thought are about that mattress.

Thanks, John

 

Hi John,

The time to research mattresses is before you buy one.

The Avocado Mattress is an excellent mattress for anyone who is average to below average in size.

The reason is the coils they use are made of a thin gauge steel.

The coils are much too weak to hold up under anyone who is above average in size.

Complaints along those lines are already surfacing.

 

Similarly made, but much stronger, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

I've had customers who carry twice your weight, who have been using one of these mattresses for years.

Stearns and Foster plush and latex mattress from 2012.

Gene writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We purchased a Stearns and Foster plush and latex mattress, from you, back in 2012.

My wife and I absolutely love it. I can't thank you enough for recommending it.

We want to buy another one as a wedding present for our son and his, soon to be, bride.

My initial research tells me it's been discontinued.

So, what would you recommend that would most closely mimic the one we have?

Thanks for all you do, Gene

 

Hi Gene,

You're fortunate to have purchased that mattress when you did.

S&F was purchased by Tempur-Pedic the following year. By January of 2014, POOF, all gone.

They stuck memory foam in everything they make, so we stopped selling S&F.

 

Shopping at the industry trade shows produced a much better alternative.

And, they make a mattress that is very much the same as your S&F latex mattress.

The Natura of Canada Blossom/Bourdolay Plush Latex Mattress is exactly what you're looking to buy.

Looking for another Pure Latex Bliss Active Fusion Latex Mattress.

Karen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a Pure Latex Bliss Active Fusion Latex Mattress and would like to buy another one.

I am finding it impossible to locate one in my area. I live in Ohio.

Can you help me?

Thanks, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

Pure Bliss no longer makes mattresses...thanks to the supply line disruptions over the past year and a half.

I wrote to my contact at Pure Bliss and here is the response I got received:

 

We don’t make the Pure Talalay Bliss mattresses any longer.

Talalay Global that had made the latex for Pure Bliss, still makes it, but sends it to another company.

Eclipse the name of the company that makes them now.  

The only retailer I show near that area, that sold them at some point, is shown below (Covert Furniture). 

I couldn’t say if they still carry them or not since we don’t sell them.  

If they don’t carry them any longer, the best bet would be to try the Eclipse dealer closest to them.

Check with the manufacturer: Englander/Illinois Sleep Products. 

They should be able to provide retailers in that area that are current mattress customers.  

Their contact info is below, as well.

A Mattress Similar to the Sealy SpringFree River Crest.

Hollye writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I bought a Sealy SpringFree River Crest latex mattress from you several years ago.  

I saw where you said the Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Mattress is similar.  

Which level is the closest to the River Crest?  

Thank you!

Hollye

 

 

 

Hi Hollye,

Your River Crest is made of latex with a some polyurethane foam on top.

The Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid use a polyurethane foam core with latex on top.

Their all latex mattresses have only an inch of poly foam in the quilted cover.

 

If going with an all latex mattress, I recommend the Blossom model.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/canada/natura-mattresses/natura-latex-level-2-mattress/natura-bourdolay-plush/

 

If opting for a hybrid model, their Temptation Plush is the one to consider.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latexmattress/latex-hybrid-mattress-temptation-plush/

 

Both come with white glove delivery.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Sealy Springfree Latex Mattress.

Marge writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I bought a Sealy Springfree latex mattress, from you, 20 years ago.

We have loved sleeping on this mattress all that time.

Now, body impressions are starting to show and it has lost some of its original comfort.

We need your advice as to the best mattress to replace it.

Thanks, Marge

 

Hi Marge,

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed that mattress for so long.

Latex mattresses, typically, will last about 20 years...far exceeding the manufacturer's warranty.

Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic and no long make a quality mattress.

Everything they make, today, is upholstered with memory foam, which is why we no longer sell Sealy.

I do have a line of latex mattresses that exceed the quality of the one you have.

They are made in Canada, made of superior quality, natural materials.

Here is a link to The Natura of Canada line of Natural Talalay Latex Mattresses:

There are 4 choices of comfort.

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials.

Stearns and Foster Tropical Oasis Latex Mattress.

Cindy writes:

 

Hi Peter,

I have a Stearns and Foster Tropical Oasis Latex mattress, which I got from you many years ago, and still love it.

I had tried so many beds due to lupus, degenerative disc disease and fibro. This has been best for me.

We now have a vacation home and I can't find anything to be comfortable on.

I'm hoping, with all your knowledge, that you can tell me something that would be very close to what I have now.

Thank you, so much, for any help you can provide.

Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

Your mattress is plush latex on top of a firm latex core.

While Stearns and Foster, now owned by Tempurpedic, no longer makes anything like your Tropical Oasis, we do carry a line of latex mattresses that are very much the same...even a little better.

Natura of Canada All Latex Bourdolay Plush Mattress is the ones to consider.

A Mattress Exactly like the Sealy Spring Free Brighton Hill.

Christine writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

When on vacation in St. Martin in the same Villa for several years, I always slept on the same mattress. 

It's the Sealy Spring Free Brighton Hill latex mattress. 

It is the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on in my life. 

I have a back problem, so not any mattress will do. 

I’ve tried to purchase one for myself but I’ve been told it’s been discontinued. 

I want to purchase this mattress or one exactly like it. 

I’m hoping you can help me.

Thanks, Christine

 

Hi Christine,

Neither that mattress, nor anything “exactly” like it, is available anywhere.

So, for starters, I can help you to stop wasting your time looking for something that doesn’t exist.

Even if you were it find it, a new one wouldn’t feel “exactly” like the 8 + year old one you had slept on at the hotel.

That mattress hasn’t been made since 2013, when Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic.

Sealy no longer makes anything even close to that same quality, today.

 

I can help you with a recommendation for a mattress that is similar in construction, feel, quality and longevity, 

I recommend a Natura Latex Mattress.

The Bourdolay Plush is the most popular in that line...shown here:

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress and all packaging materials.

Which Natura Latex Mattress for Dad?

Cindy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the info!  

I have narrowed down my choices for dad to these 3 latex mattresses. I wanted to see which you recommended.  

Natura Bourdolay - Plush

Natura Tropical EuroTop – Plush

https://themattressexpert.com/canada/natura-mattresses/natura-latex-level-2-mattress/

Temptation Plush

https://themattressexpert.com/latexmattress/

Thanks for your recommendation!

Warmly, Cindy

 

Good Morning Cindy,

The Bourdolay and the Tropical are all latex, which are superior in quality to the latex/polyurethane combination of the Temptation.

The difference in quality will matter more, the heavier your dad weighs.

The Tropical Eurotop Plush is the most comfortable of the 3 models.

The Bourdolay Plush is the most popular.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Do you deliver mattresses, toppers and pillows to Canada?

Lynn writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Do you deliver to Canada?

My husband and I are looking at new mattresses and pillows.

We are also looking at latex mattress toppers.

Can you send me links to anything you have available that can be delivered to Canada?
