Time to replace our mattress, purchased in 1995.

Terri writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I love your website and the info you provide- thank you!

I thought I’d narrowed down to choosing between Simmons Black and Liberty, mostly because of the big price difference (hotel Simmons are half off now). 

Then I found the Saatva last night, got excited, then read bad reviews and realized I’m in over my head.

My double sided king mattress was purchased I think as a factory second, directly from a factory here in town (Jamison, maybe?) in about 1995 or so, for about $800.

I just now did the math and realize it’s REALLY time to replace the thing. 

Horrors! It’s begun to sag if two are in the middle. I got my money’s worth out of it for sure.

 

There will be two of us, combined weight is about 300 or so, not big people and not little. 

I have sciatica and can get back and neck pain when sleeping.

What do you recommend?

Thank you for your time!  Terri

 

Hi Terri,

The key to a successful purchase is in avoiding mattresses upholstered with memory foam, which wasn’t even in existence the last time you bought a mattress.

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

Not only is it a poor quality product, it also off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made…as if that poor quality thing wasn’t bad enough.

 

If I were to recommend a mattress for you from the mattresses we carry, it would be the Wolf Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress…providing excellent support, comfort and longevity.

Thank you, Pete! 

I have a Thomasville 4 poster bed with the box springs in it. 

The box springs were bought with the mattress (same age). 

I don’t think I can use the platform under my existing bed. 

Can you recommend what to do about my box springs? 

I don’t mind reusing them if they will do the job, but I don’t mind replacing them.

In your opinion, if I purchase the Wolf you described, should I also get one of those toppers you recommend? Or will we love the Wolf as is?

Thank you for your quick response, Terri

 

Hi Terri,

A latex topper can be added to any mattress for more comfort and greater longevity.

For mattresses upholstered with memory foam, it’s an absolute must have.

Not so with the Wolf mattresses, as they have no memory foam in them.

 

Today’s box springs are strong, but cheaply made.

The cost of shipping is much too high.

The best places to buy a new box spring are:

Costco…Sealy

Sam’s Club…Serta

Big Lots…Simmons

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase its longevity.

A Great Mattress for a Woman with Back and Shoulder Pain.

Suzanne writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am in need of a great mattress. 

I’m a 68 year old woman 5'4" 138 lbs., who has low back and shoulder pain. 

Recently, it seems my should pain is worse while I try to sleep. 

I looked at consumer reports but I still do not know what kind of bed would be best: 

Soft, medium or firm: Foam: Innerspring: Hybrid???

I cannot remember when I bought my last mattress. 

It was a queen size Sealy Posturepedic, but gave it to my daughter recently.

I do have a husband who flips and flops so much and pulls the covers.

We are now in two twin beds, which is better, except the beds are not good quality. 

(They had been only used for occasional guests- didn’t want them to stay to long 😁)

We do want to stay close so that is another piece to this puzzle.

Can you please help me? I’d be forever grateful.

Sincerely, Suzanne

 

Hi Suzanne,

An old Sealy Posturepedic used an interlocking coil system.

This would have made your husband’s moving easy to feel. 

Motion transfers through both, the mattress and box spring.

A king size has two box springs, so movement doesn’t transfer from one to the other.

A king size takes up no more space in the bedroom than your two twins.

Being a much larger mattress, it’s more difficult to feel him move...as motion has to travel further.

Change the coil system from an interlocking coil to an individually pocketed coil unit, and motion from one is rarely felt by the other.

 

Since you bought that Sealy mattress, much has changed in the mattress industry...and not for the better.

Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic.

All of the name brands that you could once trust for quality, have been sold to investors, who are now focused on profits and not quality.

 

The item that has caused this dramatic reduction in quality, is memory foam.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

It’s a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat.

It’s not very resilient to start, and loses the little resiliency it has rather quickly.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing....and not under the terms of the warranty.

 

Consumer Reports is not simulating body heat when testing mattresses.

Subsequently, their conclusions are all wrong.

 

While memory foam is the worst upholstery material, latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years...most resilient, producing the longest lasting surface comfort.

(Even so, not all latex is the same. Chinese made latex has fillers added. This cheapens the quality and durability of the latex, which reflects in the price.)

 

Your physical ailments are both, interior and exterior.

You can’t buy one mattress that addresses both problems for any length of time.

So, your solution lies in two parts...the mattress for spinal support and a soft topper to address your exterior issues.

 

I, too, have both...back problems and a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.

So, I’m recommending for you, the same sleep system my wife and I sleep on at home.

Both products are extremely high quality.

The mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system.

Not only does that allow you and your husband to sleep on the same mattress, that type of coil unit contours to the shape of the body, maintaining the natural alignment of the spine, which relieves chronic back pain.

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush model.

Shown here:

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

Due to the high quality of the components, this mattress is not as soft as it sounds.

Certainly, not soft enough for your shoulder pain.

You’ll add to that mattress, a Suite Sleep Pure, All Natural Vita Talalay Latex Topper.

This is the softest, highest quality latex on the planet.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/100-all-natural-pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper.html

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery. 

Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress set. 

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress Selection.

Peter writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm interested in mattresses for myself, my son, and my daughter.

My son and I are 6" tall, about 235 lbs, apiece. My daughter is shorter and heavier.

I'm looking for high quality mattresses that will last for 10 years under our sizes.

I've been reading your blog posts and have concluded that the Natura of Canada Greenspring is what I want.

I'm not sure as to which model.

I have disc problems and arthritis in my back.

Also, I need a recommendation for mattress protectors for all three beds.

I just need a little help in making my final selection.

Thanks, Peter in Massachusetts.

 

 

Hi Peter,

The most comfortable of the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses, is the Ultra Plush.

The firm support is the same in all four models, but you'll want the comfort of the Ultra Plush for your arthritis.

I'm guessing that your children will enjoy that same mode, as well.

Your daughter may also want to add a soft latex topper for extra comfort at her hip.

Simmons Beautyrest Black for a Big Man, Delivered to Canada?

Barb writes:

Hello Peter,

We live in Canada. We will need delivery to our home in Ontario.

I am looking at a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, (probably a Black model).

I am 63, 5'5", 160 lbs. My husband is a big man 66 6', 235 lbs. 

We are, both of us, side/stomach sleepers, with no major health complaints.

These Simmons Beautyrest Black models look nice, but price is about CA$4500. 

Is there anything close in quality at a more affordable price?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you, Barb

 

Hi Barb,

There is, not only a mattress as good for less...but better quality and much longer lasting.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger, made of double tempered steel.

The steel used to make the coils of a Simmons Beautyrest, is not tempered at all.

What's more, these mattresses are upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex, which has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. (Best meaning...more comfortable, more resilient, and much longer lasting).

Memory foams is used in the Beautyrests, which has been proven to be the worst upholstery material ever invented, over it's 20 year history.

 

The important thing that is similar to the Simmons Beautyrest, is the pre-compressed individually pocketed coils.

This is what will properly align your spine.

However, The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses will do so for many more years than any Simmons model.

There are 4 choices of comfort, with the Ultra Plush being the most comfortable...the one we sleep on at home. 

Shown Here:

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

 

Despite being priced in US Dollars, you'll find these to be much higher quality and more reasonably priced.

These mattresses come with Free White Glove Delivery and no Canadian sales tax is charged.

Delivery is free throughout mainland Canada and includes Removal of your old mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Latex Topper for My Daughter.

Connie writes:

 

Thanks Pete,

We want the Simmons Beautyrest mattress, latex topper, box spring, and frame....that you recommended. 

Before we pull the trigger on this big ticket item, I have one last question.

Are you recommending this particular mattress because I said I liked my current Simmons Beautyrest mattress, or is this the mattress combo you would recommend for my daughter if you could choose anything?

I just want to get it right. 

Thanks, Connie

 

 

Good Morning Connie,

I take everything into consideration, when making a recommendation.

So, it would have been some of both.

Your daughter will enjoy that which I recommended for her, as much as you have enjoyed yours.

Is there something better? Certainly.

Here it is.

Sealy Posturepedic Mattress with a Memory Foam Topper is Causing Pain.

David writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a king size Sealy Posturepedic mattress that is now 6 years old.

We had found it to be too firm, so we added a memory foam topper to it.

When I remove the topper, there are only slight body impression and a bit of a hump in the middle, and still too firm.

With the memory foam topper, I have nothing but pain.

I believe we need to replace the memory foam with a latex topper.

My wife believes that we need a new mattress.

Can you help us sort this out?

If just a latex topper, which one?

If a new mattress, which one?

We are 160 and 120 lbs.

Thanks, David

 

 

 

Hi David,

I believe that the Sealy Posturepedic mattress you have is savable.

Your body impressions are slight...thanks to the age of your mattress.

There is a 1/2” layer of memory, sandwiched between 2,  1/2” layers of poly foam.

This sits just above the coils, with the rest of the upholstery being poly foam.

 

THIS, is why the body impressions are slight.

It’s, still, a good base from which to start.

Rotate your mattress 1/4 turn every season, (4 times a year). That hump in the middle will flatten out some.

 

Adding an EverEden Pure All Natural 2” Soft Vytex Dunlop or Talalay Latex Topper will greatly improve the surface comfort of your mattress.

It will also retard further wear...greatly extending the life of the mattress.

These are also made with an individually pocketed coil unit and upholstered with latex.

The coil count is higher and the coil are stronger...and these mattresses are more elaborately made.

 

The advantage of the individually pocketed coils is that it contours to the shape of the body and maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

There is also a substantial reduction in motion transfer.

 

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

Memory foam, conversely, has proven to be the worst...over it’s 20 year history...despite the great job they do in promoting it.

 

The problem is, that there is no one policing this industry.

You can’t even rely on Consumer Reports. 

They don’t understand how the temperature sensitivity of memory foam works.

Replacing a 20 Year Old Stearns and Foster Edgefield Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I was reading the reviews from people who purchased the Stearns and Foster Edgefield mattress, per your suggestion. 

I’ve had mine for 20 years. This mattress has been discontinued and I was wondering what your suggestion would be to replace it with.

Thanks, David

Hi David,

I’m happy for you, that you were able to own and enjoy one of the last great mattresses made by Stearns and Foster.

A few years later, they went from making two sided mattresses to making them one sided. As the years went by, the coil system changed and memory foam was added to some of their models.

5 years ago, Tempurpedic bought the Sealy/S&F Company.

In January of 2014, the S&F line changed even more dramatically. Everything they makes is now loaded with memory foam.

Stearns & Foster had been considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades.

Now, everything they make is nothing more than expensive junk.

We stopped selling Sealy and S&F when Tempurpedic bought them.

Natura of Canada Greenspring, a Mattress of Old Fashioned, Top Quality.

Amy writes:

 

Hello Pete,

We are looking for a new mattress. We hate mattress shopping and hate mattress stores, but mostly, we hate mattress salespeople.

They will say anything to make the sale...the truth be damned. 

 

My husband is 6'2" and 220 lbs, I am 5'2" and 120 lbs. In the past we had a Chattam and Wells, for 10 years.

We loved it until it started to sag a bit and we decided to replace it. We replaced in in 2011 with a "Simmons Beautyrest LeBlanc Pl Firm". 

It's been 3.5 years and there are significant divots on either side of the bed and a lump in the middle. 

My husband sleeps on his back and side and I sleep on my stomach and side. 

We both think we prefer firm mattresses, but were disappointing in 2011 to find that not many manufacturers still make a firm mattress. 

We went to try out a few mattresses today and laid on three different Klufts and a few different Tempurpedics. 

I am curious what you suggest.

Many thanks,  Amy

 

Hi Amy,

The quality of mattresses has dropped dramatically, over the last 15 years.

Tempurpedic gets great reviews from new buyers, but those tunes change before a year or two has passed. 

The memory foam in your mattress is the problem. You'll be experiencing the same disappointment with any mattress upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals and off gasses the fumes from the toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in that foam. 

To add insult to injury, you'll spend a lot of money for something that won't last very long. 

The warranty is worthless because the memory foam will return when you get off of it...leaving a body impression that is not deep enough to prevail in a warranty claim.

If you're looking for good, old-fashioned quality, we have a line of mattresses, Natura of Canada Greenspring, that you will like and still like many years from now. It what we sleep on at home...with each of us the same weight as your husband.

The coils provide excellent firm support, made of double tempered steel. The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...far better than memory foam.

 

The most comfortable of them is the Plush EuroTop. It's comfy, but not too soft.

Here is the link to that line.

A Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Large Man with Back Pain and Comfortable Sleeping Surface.

Hi Pete,

My husband is a big man, about 100 pounds heavier than I am.

Sealy or Stearns and Foster Plush Pillowtop Mattress?

Kristie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I saw one of your answers to one of your customer questions and you had basically said the pillowtop mattresses were not the best bet. 

My husband and I thought we wanted plush pillowtop Stearns and Foster.

Our other choice was a Sealy Posturpedic plush pillowtop.

What would you recommend? Both are top line models.

Thank you!

Kristie

 

Hi Kristie,

We stopped recommending Sealy and S&F products when they were bought by Tempurpedic. 

Sealy had always been an excellent value mattress. S&F had always been considered, "The Cadillac of the Industry".

Now, both brands are producing mattresses loaded with memory foam...no more than expensive junk.

 

 

Besides wearing poorly, the memory foam in these mattresses off gas the toxic chemicals from which it's made...creating health hazard.

Memory foam promotes a luxurious feel, initially, which makes them easy to sell.

The problem is that memory foam doesn't hold up well.

The diabolical part of all this, is that after memory foam has lost it's comfort and support...in a year or two after purchase...it returns to it's original shape when you get off of the mattress...so that you will not prevail in a warranty claim.

 

For a luxury feel that lasts, opt for a firmer, more basic mattress, without a pillowtop, and add an EverEden Pure, All Natural Soft Latex Topper. 

All natural latex is and has been the most comfortable and longest lasting upholstery material for the last 100 years.
