Do I Really Need a New Mattress?

Lydia writes:

Hi Pete,

I’ve been through 4 mattresses in as many years, which is what sent me to the internet to research what’s going wrong…which is where I found you.

Based on some of the things I read on your blog, I’m now wondering if I really do need to buy a new mattress.

Your blog suggests that it’s the memory foam in these mattresses that is causing them to wear out so quickly. Your blog explains that the memory foam is only on the top and that if I flip the mattress over and add a non-memory foam topper that I can get away with not having to replace this mattress.

Does that really work? If so, which topper?

Thanks, Lydia

 

Hi Lydia,

Yes. It works. Many of the people who write to me have problems with memory foam. Not only does it wear quickly, it sleeps hot and allows you to sink, which causes back pain and numbness in the arms, legs, hands & feet.

Flipping the mattress over eliminates all of those problems.

The topper serves to provide the surface comfort you need to sleep deeply.

 

Which topper is a question of satisfying your personal needs.

First thing to do is to flip your mattress over and try it for comfort.

You should immediately feel an improvement in the way it supports.

If you feel that it needs to feel much softer, the Suite Sleep 3” Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is your best option.

If you only need a little extra softness, the one of our other toppers will address various other needs. 

 

For instance, the Magniflex MagniCool 3D topper will allow someone who naturally sleeps hot, to sleep much cooler.

The Sleep & Beyond toppers are an excellent value.

 

None of our latex products come from China, where fillers are used to reduce the cost of pure latex. A short lifespan goes along with Chinese made latex, making it a poor value.

Our focus has always been about quality and the longevity that quality provides.

A Topper to Soften a Too Firm Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Marie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m 140 lbs., sleeping on a Simmons Beautyrest World Class extra firm mattress from pre-memory foam days. 

It’s still super firm after years of use and it’s too hard. 

I saw where you often recommend a latex mattress topper for a too firm mattress.

Which latex topper do you recommend to soften the feel... 2 “ or 3”? 

I like a dense feel solid feel.

I have lower lumbar stiffness in the morning in my sixties.

Thanks, Marie

 

Hi Marie,

Suite Sleep is our best quality, purest latex. They ship right away.

 

These will make a noticeable difference, the 3” more so than the 2”.

Softest…Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex

Next softest…Suite Sleep Organic Latex

The Magniflex Toppers are thinner, if you're looking for a little extra comfort.

I ordered a mattress with a latex topper from you, back in 2012.

Alex writes:

 

Hey Pete! 

I ordered a mattress with a latex topper from you, back in 2012.   

The mattress we ordered is the Simmons Beautyrest Black Ansleigh Plush/Firm.

The topper is becoming dented…..(we are not huge people but I guess it happens! LOL)

I'm wondering if I can extend the life of my mattress by purchasing another topper?  

If so, which one would you recommend?  

Thanks so much, Alex

 

Hi Alex,

Welcome Back!

11 years is a long time for a latex topper.

You did so well with it because you’re not huge people.

Have you tried flipping the topper?

 

The topper plays a dual purpose. 

1. Surface Comfort.

2. It extends the life of the mattress by absorbing the bulk of your body weight.

 

That mattress has lasted as long as it has, due to using a topper with it.

So yes, replacing the topper makes good sense.

 

Here’s a link to our Mattress Toppers page:

https://www.themattressexpert.com/latex_toppers.html#/

 

Suite Sleep is Pure Latex and the Highest Quality.

Sleep & Beyond is a combination of latex and wool (not as soft)

Magniflex MemoForm foam is a unique product with the feel of memory foam and the durability of latex. 

(NOT memory foam)

BTW: Simmons was sold to an investment group a few years after you bought your mattress. 

Today’s Beautyrests, including their Black Series, is far lower in quality, with shorter longevity.

So, you’ll want to make the most of the one you have.

 

As you shop, you’ll find cheap latex, which is made in China.

The clay filler they add to the mix allows it to be sold as all natural.

But it only takes months, not years, before it starts to show wear…making it far more expensive in the long run.

Thanks, Pete

A Topper for a 20 year old Tempurpedic Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I have a 20 year old Tempurpedic Mattress that’s worn out. 

I read on your website that I can turn the mattress over and put a topper on it.

How long do you think the old mattress will last once I flip it over and put a topper on it?

Thanks, John

 

Hi John,

It depends on how bad your mattress is.

Typically, about 3-5 extra years has been realized.

 

The Sleep & Beyond myWooly Latex Topper provides the unique feel of floating

 

 

The Magniflex Toppers will produce a cradling surface feel, like what you’ve been used to.

I have spent thousands of dollars for crappy mattresses.

Valerie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have been learning why I have spent thousands of dollars for crappy mattresses, from your expert.

It's the memory foam!  

We seem to need the firm mattress without memory foam and a latex topper (back and joint friendly).

Please advise how to buy one.

Thanks much, Valerie

 

Hi Valerie,

The best I can off you is a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress.

They are extremely well made and the ultra plush model isn’t likely to need a latex topper, as there is 3” of Natural Talalay Latex already built into the mattress.

Here’s a link to the ultra plush model, showing specifications and pricing.

 

https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/

 

It’s the best mattress I could find, while shopping at the industry trade shows.

It’s the mattress we’ve been sleeping on at home for the past 9 years.

Help!!! My mattress causes me to sleep hot! What can I do?

Rosa writes:

Hi Pete,

Help!!! My mattress causes me to sleep hot! What can I do?

Every mattress I've purchased, recently, including the ones I've exchanged, all sleep hot.

There must be a reason why and I'm hoping you have a solution for me.

Thanks, Rosa

 

Hi Rosa,

It's the memory foam used in most of today's mattresses that cause you to sleep hot.

Most memory foams are temperature sensitive. 

That is to say, memory foam is made to be activated by reacting to your body heat.

As memory foam warms, it softens.

What it also does, is reflect your body heat to you.

 

To prevent this, you need a barrier between you and the memory foam in your mattress.

Add a mattress topper to create that barrier.

I have an old Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Joe writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an old Sealy Posturepedic queen size mattress, model Mira Loma II.  

It has a Cotton Damask Cover, 782 High Profile Tempered Steel Coils, Heavy Duty Border Rod Edge Guard and Torsion Bar Boxspring.  

It came with a 10/10 year warranty, and Yes, I still have the paperwork.  

I bought it in 2002….I rotate and flip it regularly. 

It is, STILL, in good condition but could be a bit more comfortable.   

What would you recommend?

Thanks, Joe

 

Hi Joe,

You, certainly don't want to replace that mattress. It's one of the last great mattresses that Sealy made.

You'd be appalled to learn that there isn't a Sealy mattress, today, that's worth buying.

Just a year after you bought your two-sided Sealy Posturepedic, they became one-sided.

10 years after that, Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic.

Every Sealy mattress made, today, is upholstered with chemical-laden, temperature-sensitive memory foam...the worst upholstery material ever invented. 

There is no memory foam in the mattress you have, which is why it lasted for such a long time.

 

If all you need is to add a bit more comfort to the surface of your mattress, then add a Mattress Topper.

We carry a wide variety of those. All chemical free.
