Escalating back pain from sleeping on a cheap hybrid coil/memory foam mattress.

Peggy writes:

Hi Pete,

We currently have a cheap “Icoil” hybrid coil/memory foam mattress that I am super unhappy with. 

I have been experiencing escalating back pain from sleeping on it.  

After coming across your website, I realize it’s because of the memory foam flattening.  

I know I want a latex mattress. 

Please explain the differences between all latex and an innerspring/latex hybrid.  

We are definitely going to buy one of them, just need to figure out which is best.  

We are willing to spend more for a better sleep and longer lasting mattress, if benefits are worth it.

 

I am 57, 170 lbs., 5’6". My husband is 54, 185lbs., 5’8”. 

I love to stomach or side sleep.  My husband back or side sleeps.

Thanks for your time!!

Best, Peggy

 

Hi Peggy,

Of all the foams, latex is the best...natural, most resilient and longest lasting.

All latex makes for a great mattress to grow up on, or for anyone with no spine damage.

The thing that latex doesn’t do, is push back up against you.

Most people, at your ages, will likely have some sort of disc related back problems.

Your email suggests as much.

The pushback support of an individually pocketed coil will help maintain the natural alignment of the spine. 

This type of support, coupled with latex upholstery, provides long lasting support, comfort and longevity.

The mattress I’m recommending for you is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home. 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

Due to the high quality of the components...the strong coils and resilient upholstery, it’s comfortable without being too soft.

Here is a link to that mattress:

I have several disc related back problems.

Despite them, I sleep and wake without back pain.

Our mattress is more than 5.5 years old and still in like new condition...and with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

 

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

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Sealy Hybrid Mattress Making My Shoulder Hurt More.

Samantha writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We recently purchased a Sealy Hybrid King mattress and was super excited to upgrade from a queen.

I've had a frozen shoulder -- with limited range of motion -- for about 14 months.

I feel like the new mattress is making my shoulder hurt more.

But I'm not sure if it is all in my head, or if I just need to "get used to the new bed." 

It is definitely harder for me to roll over and change positions without pain or discomfort.

So, I am waking up more often.

I'm 5 foot 2 -- about 125 lbs. - my partner is 6 foot --and 230 lbs.

We both tend to be side sleepers.

Thanks, Samantha

 

Hi Samantha,

The problem with your mattress is the same problem caused by most mattresses made today...the memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented, despite all the ad claims to the contrary.

Saving the mattress, you have, is a simple procedure.

Flip that mattress over and add a Suite Sleep Pure, All Natural, 3” soft Talalay Latex Topper to it.

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

The comfort is extraordinary, only to be matched by its longevity.

You’ll sleep comfortably for many years to come.

Here is a link to that latex topper.

You can order it online though that link.

Shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.
