I've decided to order the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I have decided to take your advice and order the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress. 

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

But before I do, I had a couple more questions for you.  

My husband and I are both side and back sleepers, and I am on the curvy side.  

Do you think we would need a latex topper to soften the feel of the firmness of the mattress?  

 

Also, do these mattresses still need to be flipped every now and then?  

Thank you, Jennifer

 

Hi Jennifer,

You’ll rotate that mattress, not flip it.

Regular rotation will give you more even wear, as the years go by, resulting in greater longevity.

 

That particular mattress is comfortable for most people in any sleeping position.

I recommend waiting about a week after you receive it, to determine if you need a topper to soften it further.

It takes about a week or so for a new mattress to loosen up a bit. It’s a little stiff, at first.

It also takes about the same time for your body to get used to its new home.

(So to speak).

 

An additional mattress topper may or may not be necessary.

So, it makes more sense to wait.

 

Thanks, Pete

Our new mattress is way too firm.

Hi Pete,

Our new mattress is way too firm.  

Do I need a different mattress?

Is there anything else we can do?

Blessings, Ann

 

Hi Ann,

Everyone's body needs some degree of firm support. 

I suggest keeping your mattress and softening the surface with a soft mattress topper.

A soft topper will give you the surface comfort you want without negating the underlying firm support.

Here is a link to our Toppers webpage.

Of all the toppers, the Suite Sleep Vita Talalay is the softest.

The Magniflex toppers have a nice feel and are more reasonably priced.

 

Shipping is Free.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

A topper for a too firm mattress.

Jonathan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m 38, 170 pounds, and someone who has sore muscles often from going to the gym. 

In the last year or so I’ve been dealing with DDD/spinal stenosis and sciatica. 

I got an Ultra Firm mattress thinking that sleeping on the hardest mattress I could find would help.

I sleep on my back or sides, and tend to toss and turn a bit. 

I wake up with a very stiff back, and I’m wondering if the mattress is too firm.

I’m looking for a topper that you think might help alleviate my symptoms.

Thank you so much for this service!

Jonathan 

Hi Jonathan,

A mattress topper will help with the pressure points, which is why you’re tossing.

The firm mattress was a good choice for support, but you also need a measure of surface comfort. 

A soft mattress topper will provide that without sacrificing the underlying firm support.

Given your size and age, one of the Magniflex Mattress Toppers will do a nice job.

I'm looking for a Luxurious Mattress that lasts.

Ellen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a Luxurious Mattress that lasts.

The one we had sagged right away, so we got one that isn't as soft.

It's ok, but lacks the luxurious feel that I want.

What mattress will give me the luxury feel I want and also wear longer than just a couple of years?

Thanks, Ellen

 

Hi Ellen,

That has always been something of a problem. The softer the upholstery, the quicker is sags.

The product with both, a high degree of comfort and resiliency is Pure Talalay Latex.

Since there's nothing wrong with your mattress, you can achieve the luxurious surface feel you want by adding the right mattress topper.

The absolute best for your needs is The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

We use this one at home. 

And despite being larger people, it has lasted us for several years, without needing to be replaced as yet.

FedEx Shipping is Fast and Free.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress.

Jenna writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We are seriously considering purchasing a Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress from your website.  

My apologies, but is there a difference between coil/hybrid latex and innerspring?  

I was browsing your categories and I got a little confused.  

We’ve had a memory foam for only three years now, and have come to the realization that it’s not for us.  

If only we had seen your company before our purchase!  :)

We’ve looked over your products, and was curious what your advice would be regarding our next step.  

My husband is 340 pounds and about 6 foot. He’s a firefighter and is usually achy after working his shifts.   

I’m approx. 150 and use to be an ER nurse, so I also fall into the category of “achy” most of the time as well.  

We are looking for something that provides good solid support.

Thanks very much for any help and advice you can provide.

Take care, Jenna

 

Hi Jenna,

There are 3 different types of foams used in the mattress industry.

Memory foam has proven to be the worst, over its 20-year history.

Polyurethane foam was the standard foam used since the 1970s.

Latex foam is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

 

The foams used in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are:

Natural plant-based polyurethane...'an inch of soft poly foam in the quilted cover and an inch of firm poly foam under the latex', just above the coils.

Natural Talalay Latex is in between the two poly foam layers.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

 

 

There is no memory foam in this mattress.

All mattresses are upholstered with one or more types of foam.

The only one to avoid is memory foam. It’s the only one that is poor quality.

 

For the combination of long-lasting support under a 340 Lb man and providing long lasting surface comfort for a 150 lb. woman, I recommend going with the "Firm" model....Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/greenspring-liberty-firm-mattress/

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper...shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom.

The latex topper arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper. It's been WONDERFUL!

Diane writes:

Hi Pete,

I ordered a Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress from you, about a decade ago.

We also bought the 2" latex topper and waterproof mattress protector, too.

We followed your recommendation and it's been WONDERFUL! 

But it's a queen size and we'd like to get a king size. 

 

Because we LOVE this one, we want to replace that bed with something similar.

I wasn't able to find that same mattress on your website.

Can you send me links to what you're recommending today?

Thank you, Diane

 

Hi Diane,

I'm so pleased to hear that you're still enjoying your mattress.

My wife and I had that same sleep system combination at that time.

We kept it for a few years and then gave it to our sone and his wife.

They, like you, are still enjoying theirs.

 

Since then, Simmons was sold to an investment group which also bought Serta.

Back then, Simmons was using a higher grade of memory foam that didn't off gas.

Since being sold, a much cheaper and toxic memory foam is being used.

That mattress with a latex topper, today, would not prevent the chemical off gassing.

And since the memory foam is also less dense, it won't last as long.

 

It had been our habit to home test mattresses for a few years and then pass them along to family.

The last one we tested, the one after the one you have, has been such a great mattress, we decided to hang on to it. It is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of use weighing more than 200 lbs. And, despite having a very bad back, I sleep and wake without back pain.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest...individually pocketed coils, that contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

What's more, the upholstery is 3" of Soft Natural Talalay Latex....NO Memory Foam.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

The coil count is higher and the latex upholstery is far more resilient.

As a result, it's not a too soft mattress...despite the "Ultra Plush" designation.

In fact, only about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress go on to add a separate topper.

 

This is the mattress I'm recommending for you.
