A mattress as good as the Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree Latex Mattress.

Mark writes:

 

Good morning, Pete,

I am wanting to buy a mattress as good as or comparable to the one my friend has had since 10/2008.

This mattress is amazingly comfy, even today…15 years after it was made.

Can you advise where I can buy this quality and craftsmanship of latex mattress?

It's the Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree Crocker Grove Latex Mattress.

Thanks, Mark

 

Hi Mark,

In 2008, Sealy was using synthetic latex, made in a plant in PA that Sealy owned.

There’s nothing wrong with synthetic latex. It’s a molecule clone of natural latex.

Their latex mattresses were marketed under the Sealy and Stearns and Foster labels.

(Sealy had acquired S&F quite some years earlier.)

The people who owned Sealy, sold their company to Tempurpedic in 2013.

As of January 2014, everything made using the Sealy and S&F labels also included memory foam…even their latex lines.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer for many years, up to that point.

When Tempurpedic bought Sealy/S&F, we stopped selling both brands.

While shopping at the industry trade shows, we found the Natura of Canada line of Latex Mattresses.

These mattresses exceed the specifications of the Sealy latex mattress you’re looking to buy.

The core is Pure Dunlop and the comfort layers are Blended Talalay Latex. (70% synthetic/30% Natural) 

Of them, the Blossom Plush is the most popular model.

We also have available, from Suite Sleep, a line of 100% Pure, Organic Latex Mattress.

The Natura Mattresses comes with White Glove Delivery

The Suite Sleep Mattresses ship via FedEx,

Either way, Delivery is Free 

 

Thanks, Pete

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra-Plush Mattress is the best mattress we have ever had!

Rosie writes:

Hi Pete,

We are sleeping very well. Our old Stearns & Foster mattress was giving us a terrible back ache.

But since we've been sleeping on this new mattress, our back aches are now, all gone. 

We have been married for almost 54 years and have bought many mattresses during all those years. 

But, this Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra-Plush Mattress is the best mattress we have ever had!

Thank you for recommending this mattress, Pete - you really know how to pick them!!

Rosie

Hi Rosie,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm happy for you.

My wife and I have been sleeping well on that same mattress for 9+ years.

So, you can look forward to sleeping as well as you are now, for many years to come.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

What's the best buy in an All Latex Mattress?

Lorrie Lynn writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What's the best buy in an All Latex Mattress?

We had an all latex mattress and made the mistake of getting rid of it.

As I shop around for a latex mattress to replace it, the prices can get to be quite high.

We are in our late 30s and average size with no real physical problems.

Thanks, Lorrie Lynn

 

Hi Lorrie Lynn,

Real Latex Foam is expensive to make. The process is rather involved.

Cheap latex is available from China, where they add clay as a filler.

Not only does it cheapen the quality, but also the longevity...making it expensive to replace frequently.

We carry a number of All Latex Mattresses. The best buy is from Natura of Canada. 

The Blossom Plush model is, by far, the most popular.

You might also consider a Latex Hybrid...Poly foam core topped with Natural Latex.

This will produce the same feel, but cost a lot less.

Here's a link to The Jasper Plush Latex Hybrid Mattress:

Dunlop and Talalay is the best type of All-Latex Mattress.

Sandy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My research indicates that a combination of Dunlop and Talalay is the best type of All-Latex Mattress. 

What type of latex is used in the construction of the Natura brand?

Also, since we have slept on an innerspring mattress for many years, would a Natura Greenspring mattress be another option we could use with an adjustable base?

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely, Sandy

 

Hi Sandy,

Rarely, will I recommend an all-latex mattress.

Most of my customers tend to be older with some sort of back problem.

While all latex is the best of all the foams, no all foam mattress provides the pushback support against the spine that’s necessary to properly support any kind of back damage.

The Natura of Canada all latex mattresses are Natural Talalay Latex, supported by Natural Dunlop latex.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses tend to be a better choice for most people.

The Ultra Plush model is the one my wife and I sleep on at home.

Due to the high quality of the components…strength of coils and resiliency of the latex upholstery, all of their models are firmer than they sound.

Their firmness designations are in relation to each other…but much firmer than other brands with the same designation.

We sell a lot of the Ultra Plush model with some of those customers needing to add a soft latex topper…finding the Ultra Plush model to be not as soft as they would like. We have a topper on our mattress for my wife’s sensitive hip.

 

I have a lot of back problems, including herniated discs.

This mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain…with or without the added latex topper.

We’ve had our mattress for 9 years.

And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., our mattress is still in like new condition.

And yes, this mattress, along with almost all other mattresses, is compatible with an adjustable bed base.

 

Here are 3 links…Natura’s all latex line, their Greenspring line of mattresses, and to the Greenspring Ultra Plush.

I have an old Carrington Chase All-Latex Mattress.

Marg writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an old Carrington Chase All-Latex Mattress in queen size. It's a great mattress. 

I'd like to replicate it with the exact same mattress in king size.

 

I bought a new memory foam mattress and put this Carrington Chase mattress in the guest room.

Now, this memory foam is hurting my back. 

After spending a couple of nights on my old Carrington Chase latex mattress, my back pain goes away.

 

Can you help me find the same mattress? If not, is there something similar?

Thanks, Marg

 

Hi Marg,

There is no exact replacement available.

At the time, Carrington Chase, sold by Bassett Furniture, was owned by Sealy.

 

It was the same as Sealy's old SpringFree and Reflexion All-Latex mattress lines.

Now, it's all owned by Tempurpedic and even their latex mattresses have been poisoned with their toxic memory foam.

 

The Natura of Canada All-Latex line of mattresses are an excellent choice for mimicking the quality of yours.

The Natura Blossom Plush Latex Mattress would be the one I recommend for the feel you want.

A mattress for ostero-arthrithic back pain.

Naomi writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks so much for answering questions concerning a mattress for osteoarthritic back pain. 

It gives me some direction.

Should I spend the extra money for a Natura all latex mattress?

Are the Natura Latex Hybrids a better value for my money?

I'm a small female and sleep alone.

God bless you for the help you've been to so many people! 

Naomi

 

Hi Naomi,

Latex is, by far, the most resilient upholstery material. 

Latex foam lasts a very long time and is extremely comfortable.

Latex is natural and hypoallergenic.

The Natura Latex Hybrids are an outstanding value.

They provide the same feel as an all-latex mattress, without the expense.

An all-latex mattress is a better long-term choice for large people.

At your size, the Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Juniper Plush Mattress is a much better buy.

Latex is and has been the "Best" upholstery material for the last 100 years...Most Comfortable, Longest Lasting.

But, high quality pure latex is expensive.

Consider a "Latex Hybrid" mattress for the great feel and comfort of latex at a reasonable price.

 

These Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Mattresses use a high density CertiPur Poly Foam Core, topped with comfy and long lasting Natural Latex.

I fell for all the sales hype about memory foam mattresses.

Bill writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your blog. I happened upon it last night and did a lot of reading.

Thanks to the information you have shared, I now know what went wrong.

I'm a young fellow, reasonably fit and without any physical damage to address.

Like so many, I fell for all the sales hype about memory foam mattresses, and bought into it.

As you have noted, it felt great to try at the store.

It provided me with a great night's sleep for the first couple of months.

It lasted just long enough to get me past the 60 day trial period. Now, I'm stuck.

Just as you have said, I sink too far into it. My back hurts and my arms and legs are going numb.

I had dismissed the headaches, not realizing that the memory foam off gassing was causing them.

 

So, what I want is an all foam mattress that feels great for many years.

I've looked at the all latex mattresses that you often recommend, but they are too expensive for me.

I've considered flipping this mattress and adding a latex topper, another of your recommendations, but just want to get rid of this chemical laden memory foam mattress altogether.

 

I need your help.

What mattress can you recommend to me that gives me what I want, has NO Memory Foam in it, and at a price I can afford.

Thanks, Bill

 

Hi Bill,

Latex does everything that memory foam is advertised to do, without any of the negative side effects and providing a great night's sleep for many years....not just months.

Your memory foam mattress isn't made of all memory foam. 

Depending on the model, it's a couple/few inches of memory foam atop several inches of high density polyurethane foam...which is why flipping it and adding a latex topper works so well.

But, as you have said, the chemical off gassing will still be there.

Best solution is a mattress made the same way as your mattress is, but with latex on top instead of memory foam.

The Natura of Canada Latex/Poly Foam Hybrid Mattresses will give you what you want, and at the right price.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Jose writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I was recommended to you by a friend who bought The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

They are very happy with their mattress and the service you provided.

I've read through many of your blog posts and am ready to follow your advice.

It appears that The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are the best you carry.

Like my friend, I'm a big man with a petite wife.

It sounds like the Greenspring ultra plush will work for me, as well, but wanted your input before placing the order.

Thanks, Jose

 

Hi Jose, 

For a large man with a small wife, the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush model is ideal.

This is an extremely high-quality mattress and what we sleep on at home.

We've had ours for 9 years. It remains in like new condition with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

It provides excellent support, comfort and the value that comes with a long lasting mattress.

Here is a link to that mattress, where you can order securely online:
