Magniflex vs. Tempur-Pedic Mattresses.

Margret writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I had been using a Magniflex Mattress. 

I traded it with close friends for a queen Tempur-Pedic as I only had a twin. 

I am finding the Tempur-Pedic too soft on the up side which may be a 'pillow top’. 

I'm now looking for a Magniflex Mattress.

Can you help me?

Thanks, Margret

 

Hi Margret,

Tempur-Pedic's memory foam is made of 61 different chemicals, that is temperature sensitive. 

It’s this temperature sensitivity that reacts to your body’s heat, softening as it warms.

This is what allows you to sink into it.

 

Magniflex’s advanced memory foam is chemical free and NOT temperature sensitive.

Your friends got the better of that trade.

 

Here’s a link to the Magniflex line of mattresses.

There are quite a few, so take your time perusing those and get back to me with any questions.

Hello Pete,

Over the years, I have bought the following mattresses from you:

(1) latex River View Villa (King) for my ex wife

(2) Simmons Beautyrest World Class  Raleigh (Queen, Plush Firm) for my mom.

(3) all latex Ever Eden (firm Dunlop core with 2 inch medium talalay topper) king size

(4) Wolf something or other plush Queen for my daughters

(5) Wolf something or other firm Queen for my mom

 

I have slept in the Ever Eden latex the Simmons Raleigh.

I love them both, but the EverEden latex is my favorite mattress ever.

I am now looking for a mattress for my girlfriend. 

I am more confused than ever, because everything has changed so much, and the prices seem to have jumped.

 

She would like something with medium firmness; she is close to 60 years old, and is a bigger girl.

 

I don't know whether to buy a throw away mattress or something that will last.  

Would you please suggest a couple of options?  

It seems like everything is now memory foam, which I remember you did not like at all.  

I gather (from your website) that you are partial to the Natura line. It may be above my budget.  

 

Thank you so much.  

I hope you are well.

With Best Regards,

William

Good Morning, William.

Welcome back. 

 

Latex was hit hardest during the pandemic, with supply disruptions and price increases. 

However, there’s still nothing like the feel and durability of latex.

EverEden was so badly affected, they switched to memory foam, which is thee thing to avoid. 

So, we no longer sell that brand.

 

We did pick up a line of advanced memory foam mattresses that are made in Italy. Magniflex.

They are chemical free and not temperature sensitive...the two reasons why I don’t like memory foam.

They call it MemoForm.

The Magniflex line of Mattresses are shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/magniflex-mattresses/

 

 

I don't recommend any all foam mattress for a 60 year old.

At that age, there are bound to be some worn discs that require the support of innerspring mattresses.

 

A cheap, throw away mattress has no value. 

Under a larger person, a cheap mattress will need such frequent replacing, that it ends up costing a lot more in the long term.

 

We continually search for new and better choices, so I have a couple of very good options for you.

 

The first is The Williams Mattress Co. York Mattress.

This mattress uses a strong, individually pocketed coil for proper spinal support that’s necessary for older spines. The upholstery is organic latex for long lasting comfort.

This mattress comes with free, white glove delivery.

This mattress is a bit expensive, but more comfortable than the Natura Greenspring.

Here’s a link to that mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/the-williams-mattress-co/york/

 

The Thomasville Artisan Collection Franklin Mattress strikes me as being the kind of mattress you’re looking for…well made, but much more reasonably priced.

This mattress uses the same type of coils, so there’s no sacrificing support.

The upholstery is polyurethane, which is less expensive than latex.

There’s no memory foam in either mattress.

The specifications of this mattress is what’s commonly found in most hotel mattresses. 

UPS Shipping to the front door is free.

Here’s a link to that mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/thomasville-artisan-collection/

 

Both mattresses have the surface feel you described and both mattresses ship quickly.

 

Thanks, Pete

What's the Best Memory Foam Mattress?

Frank writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What's the best memory foam mattress?

I've purchased a few, over recent years.

I love the initial feel, but not what becomes of them in far too short order.

The ones I've purchased wear out too soon. They sleep hot and most have smelled bad.

I look forward to a real solution for my problem.

Thanks, Frank

 

Hi Frank,

There are a variety of memory foams being used in today's mattresses.

The worst, which is also the most common, is chemical based, which accounts for the smell.

The smell is the off gassing of the toxic chemicals used to make this type of memory foam.

So, it's not just a bad smell, it's health hazard. 

 

There is available, plant-based memory foam that doesn't smell or off gas.

However, the problem of premature wear and sleeping hot still remains.

It's the temperature sensitivity of memory foam that causes these problems.

Most memory foams react to your body heat, which causes you to sink into it and then reflects your body's heat back to you. 

 

Then there's the foam used by Magniflex, which is made in Italy.

Their mattresses provides that cradling feel that you liked so much about memory foam.

It is chemical free and it is also not temperature sensitive.

These mattresses come with 20 year manufacturer's warranty.

It's everything you like about memory foam with nothing you don't.

They DO NOT Sleep Hot. They DO NOT Off Gas. They Wear Extremely Well.

 

There are a few different Series of Magniflex Mattresses, with most having a variety of choices.

There are lots from which to choose.

Delivery is Free.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

I’m shopping for a memory foam mattress.

Jim writes:

Hi Pete,

I’m shopping for a memory foam mattress.

I came across some very mixed reviews, and then your blog.

I need your advice.

What should I look for?

Thanks, Jim

 

Hi Jim,

There are a variety of memory foam mattresses out there to be had.

Most of them should be totally avoided.

Most mattresses made today use the worst type of memory foam for the purpose of selling more mattresses more frequently.

This type of memory is loaded with toxic chemicals and is temperature sensitive.

The toxic chemicals used off gas, creating a health hazard.

Being temperature sensitive causes premature wear and misalignment of the spine, making any back problems exponentially worse.

The sinking in, that this type of memory foam creates, causes numbness in your extremities.

 

There is available, chemical-free memory foam, which doesn’t off gas.

However, the problems of being temperature sensitive remain.

 

There is a unique type of memory foam material that is both, chemical-free and not temperature sensitive… long-lasting…no off-gassing.

These Magniflex Mattresses, Made in Italy, are the only ones we recommend to anyone looking for that type of mattress.

There are quite a few from which to choose.

Never:

Use an old box spring/foundation with any new mattress. 

Doing so voids the warranty of the mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-foundations/magniflex-kd-foundations/

 

Always:

Use a waterproof mattress protector. 

Your new mattress will last longer if kept clean and dry.

Head to toe hives on a Tempur-Pedic Mattress.

Sonnia writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Yesterday, I was delivered a Tempur-Pedic Mattress. 

I woke up all night long, with head to toe hives. 

I have an extreme rash all over my body, itchy, hot, scalp, legs, hips, back. 

The only place it wasn’t red was where my underwear is. 

I'm devastated, as it has taken us years to find the money to purchase this new mattress. 

I used no new products that day, nothing odd eaten. 

I love the feel and will try again tonight. But it looks like I’ll have to send it back.

Thanks, Sonnia

 

Hi Sonnia,

Tempur-Pedic mattresses are made with memory foam.

The memory foam they use consists of 61 different chemicals.

Some of which, are highly toxic and carcinogenic.

It’s those chemicals causing your body to react as it is. 

If you love the feel, I recommend Magniflex.

The Magniflex Mattresses will provide the same feel, without the chemicals.

I like memory foam, but need a mattress that sleeps cool.

Jerry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I like memory foam, but need a mattress that sleeps cool.

The memory foam mattresses I've purchased sleep hot.

Even the gel memory foam, which they say sleeps cool, doesn't. Not all night, at any rate.

They're not hot for the first few hours, then get really hot.

What's up with that?!

Do you know of a memory foam mattress that actually does sleep cool?

Thanks, Jerry

 

Hi Jerry,

Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material. It softens as it warms from your body's heat.

It then reflects that heat back to you. It's that temperature sensitivity that also causes memory foam to wear quickly.

It's what allows you to sink into the foam, which eliminates your spine's natural alignment.

The Gel infused memory foams delay that.

But sooner or later, the gel reaches a saturation point and you're back in the heat.

There is a product that works like memory foam that is NOT temperature sensitive.

 

If you like memory foam, you'll love Magniflex Mattresses.

For you specifically, The Magniflex MagniCool Mattresses are the coolest.

Magniflex is a chemical free, cool, health and long lasting alternative to memory foam.

It provides everything memory foam promises, with none of the negative side effects.

A memory foam mattress that doesn't sleep hot, no chemical off gassing.

Zoe writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Everyone is pushing memory foam mattresses.

So far, we've purchased two and sent them back. Both smelled of chemicals and both slept hot.

Is there a memory foam mattress that doesn't sleep hot, with no chemical off gassing?

We like the feel, but the side effects are horrible.

Thanks, Zoe
