We hate sagging mattresses.

Shawn writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I was referred to you by a friend of mine. My wife and I are looking for a new king size mattress. 

I sleep on my back 100% of the time. I'm 5' 10", 210 lbs.

My wife is a side/stomach sleeper. She's 5' 6", 160 lbs. 

We hate being hot when we sleep. We hate sagging mattresses that develop after a few years.

We’re looking for help finding a good fit.

Thank you, Shawn

 

Hi Shawn,

The product that causes you to sink and sleep hot, is memory foam.

Over its 20 year history, memory foam has proven to be the worst upholstery material ever invented.

All of the name brands and most other brands use memory foam.

Memory foam is specially designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

When buying a mattress, it’s imperative to avoid mattresses made with memory foam.

 

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

What I’m recommending to you, are mattresses upholstered with latex.

 

I have two recommendations for you.

Both are strong enough and firm enough to hold and support you, while being comfy enough for your wife.

1) Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid “Adara”.

2) Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

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

Both use an individually pocketed coil unit made of double tempered steel.

Both are upholstered with latex.

Neither mattress has any memory foam in it.

 

Option #1 arrives via UPS.

Option #2 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

Dear Pete,

Thank you for any help you can give us.

Mattress Shipping During the Covid-19 Virus Pandemic.

John writes:

 

 

Hi Pete,

What is the shipping times for mattresses during the Covid-19 Virus Pandemic?

Are the factories open or closed?

What can I expect, concerning delivery?

Thanks, John

 

Hi John,

You can expect delays, depending on the factory and product you're buying.

Natura of Canada is closed until April 13th. So, you can add an additional 2 weeks to the wait time stated on our website.

Wolf, which only takes about a week to arrive, normally, is likely to take 2 weeks.

You can expect a week or two additional wait time for Pure Bliss Latex Toppers.

Gotcha Covered and Pacific Coast Feather Waterproof Mattress Protectors, Sheets and other Linen products are shipping normally.  

 

Thanks, Pete

This Whole Mattress Model Name Game is Maddening.

Doug writes:

 

Hi Pete,

This whole mattress model name game deal is maddening. How can I shop the mattresses I'm trying?

Every store has a 100 different styles with their own names. 

How many different mattresses can one manufacturer make?

I'm really curious about this, and want to know if there is a way to get around it. 

Thanks, Doug

 

Hi Doug,

This all started, back in the 1980s....after a very nasty and prolonged price war. 

At that time, the department stores were the only stores getting their own model names.

All of the furniture and mattress stores got the same model name.

 

The factories were just then beginning to computerize their operations.

A different model name became easy to do with computers. And so, the price was problem was solved.

This is what created today's shopping nightmare for consumers.

 

And, of course, that entire system became abused. 

Retailers had been discounting prices to order to compete with one another. 

Now, they inflate prices since those prices have become protected.

You can negotiate the price. But when you're in that position, you never know of you got the best price.

 

In order to shop effectively, get the specifications of the mattress you like.

Each store carries a specifications list for each of the mattresses they sell.

They don't like to share that information...for obvious reasons...so, you may have to insist. 

Once armed with that information, you can easily compare them to the specifications of other mattresses.

Comparing that list of specifications to the list of another mattress, even if you don't understand what they mean,

is the only way to look inside, what is otherwise, a blind item.

 

This process is purposefully made difficult for the consumer.

The mattress industry is NOT consumer friendly.

The use of chemically toxic memory foam, is more evidence of that.

Stuck Exchanging Our Name Brand Mattress at the Store.

Anne writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I've been reading your blog posts and like what I read about your latex mattress toppers.

We have a mattress we're not happy with. It softened too much, too quickly. 

We have to do our exchange at the store we bought from.

So, we are stuck with a name brand mattress with memory foam. 

I was just hoping one might be less hot than the rest.

We will use a Pure Bliss latex topper once we get the new mattress.

Thanks for all the helpful information, Anne

 

Hi Anne,

I'm sorry to hear that you're stuck...one of the disadvantages of the comfort exchange scam.

Another pitfall is getting a used mattress that someone else sent back.

To be sure this doesn't happen to you, check the plastic in which the mattress is covered.

It should be heat sealed on all four edges.

If one of those edges is taped closed, you know it's been out of the bag.

 

Best advice under these circumstances:

Get a mattress that is firmer than you think you like. This will be better support for your spine.

Add a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to that for surface comfort that will remain like new.

The latex will insulate you from the memory foam, be more comfortable for a much longer period of time, and extend the life of the mattress.

Here is a link to the latex toppers.

We moved, and when I reconnected everything stopped working. 
I changed the batteries on the remote, re-set the button on the frame, nothing!.
Can you help me? Do you have serv. tech. in the Baltimore area? 
Thank you in advance for the help.

Hi Ike,

The first thing to do is unplug it and plug it in again.

You'd be surprised how often that works.

My Hip Pain is Worse on a Memory Foam Mattress.

Jill writes:

Hi Pete, 

I've been reading through your blogs and website during a restless night's sleep. 

I am 26 and have wrestled with hip pain for over two years. 

When it started I was very fit, and thought it may have been a sport injury and sought physio/chiropractic care. 

They could not find any trigger other than muscle imbalance/a weak core.

Since then, the hip pain comes and goes in waves. 

I try to keep up with core strengthening exercises and expensive physio visits that relieve some of the discomfort.

 

Two weeks ago I went to Southeast Asia and all the mattresses we slept on were rock hard. 

The hip pain totally disappeared. 

I then realized I had bought my medium-firm memory foam mattress, about four months before my hip pain began. 

I got back home on Sunday and the hip pain is worse after one night's sleep. So, bought a new mattress Monday. 

The salesman recommended the same line of mattress but the firm model. 

I spent a fair amount of time at the store.

So, based on his suggestion and my desperation to deal with the problem, I purchased that mattress. 

It was delivered the next day, Tuesday of this week. Here it is, Friday, and my hip pain isn't any better.

 

After reading your feedback to others with hip pain, I see that I made another wrong purchase. 

The beds during my trip were far from comfortable and I know I need to find a happy medium. 

But, I'm so sick of the pain that has disrupted my lifestyle and sleeping habits. 

Now that I am confident of the cause, I am committed to finding the solution as soon as possible. 

 

I was wondering if the Latex toppers, you have suggested to others, would have any benefit on a firm memory foam mattress. 

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide. I'm 5'6" and about 140lbs. 

Jill

 

Hi Jill,

Your problem, concerning your mattress, is the memory foam.

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

You then sink into it...totally throwing off the alignment of your body...creating the pressure point pain it claims to relieve.

 

Most female hip pain is simply a pressure point problem.

For that, the softer sleeping surface of the latex topper works well. 

However, it seems that your hip pain may be different...especially since you felt relief from sleeping on a hard mattress.

 

Before buying anything, flip your mattress over.

It is intended to be a one sided mattress. But, the memory foam is supported by very firm high density polyurethane foam.

Flipping the mattress will put the memory foam at the bottom and the firm poly foam on top.

It seems to me that THIS should be all your need to do.

 

After sleeping on that side, you can then determine if you need a latex topper to make it more comfortable.

If so, the Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper would be the one to get.

Here is a link to those latex toppers:

Nectar Mattress is Way Too Firm. Back Pain.

Hi Pete,

I need some help. I have been having back injections for my back pain. 

I bought a Nectar mattress, that's way too firm. It feels like a rock to me. 

I need some advise as to what kind of mattress is best for back problems. 

Thanks in advance, Jo

 

Hello Jo,

You aren't likely to need a new mattress. Severe back problems fare better on a very firm mattress, which you already have. All you need to do, is soften what you have. You can do the most effectively, with an EverEden, pure, all natural 2" soft Talalay Latex Topper.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/

100% All Natural Talalay and Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers ... themattressexpert.com Soften the surface of a too firm mattress. Insulate yourself from the memory foam in your mattress to Sleep Cool. Extend the comfort life of your mattress.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

 

 

ALSO IMPORTANT:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.
