Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress.

Simon writes:

Hi Pete,

We have an old Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress.

We bought a twin XL for son to grow up on.

Now need a queen for his grad school apartment.

Our son is 6’ 5”, 250 Lbs! 

What mattress today is most comparable? 

Thanks, Simon

 

Hi Simon,

The Sealy Beachside was a fantastic mattress.

You couldn’t have chosen a better mattress for a child to grow up on.

It’s lasted an extremely long time and provided him with excellent support.

Sealy hasn’t made anything like that, since being purchased by Tempurpedic, back in 2013.

There is, however, a mattress that made very much the same.

The Natura of Canada Blossom Mattress 

Shown here:

If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height and color.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and odor free will enhance longevity.

 

The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.

It sleeps cool and works well.

Sealy Reflexion Solana Beach Pillowtop Latex Mattress.

Mike writes:

Pete,

I wanted to buy the Sealy Reflexion Solana Beach Pillowtop Latex Mattress again.

We bought the one we have from you about 20 years ago. But as you know, it's no longer in production. 

I've looked at latex mattresses that come in a box, but really don’t feel like “building” my mattress. 

Any other mattresses you might recommend that would have the feel of this mattress.

Thanks, Mike

 

Hi Mike,

The Natura All Latex Mattresses is the line we carry to replace the Sealy Reflexion we used to carry before Tempurpedic bought Sealy. More importantly, Natura's latex doesn’t come from China.

Their Twilight Plush Eurotop Mattress will most closely feel like the Solana Beach pillowtop.

Latex Hybrid All Foam Mattress.

Joan writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a bit of a dilemma.

I like and want an all foam mattress.

I know not to buy a memory foam type, but the all latex types are just so expensive.

Is there a way to get what I want without the huge price tag?

Thanks, Joan

 

Hi Joan,

Memory foam mattresses are not all memory foam.

They have a thick poly foam base that supports the memory foam.

The same is available in latex...a thick poly foam base supporting the latex top upholstery.

This gives you the unique feel of floating that only latex can provide, at a more reasonable price.

 

We have such mattresses...The Natura of Canada Latex Hybrid Mattress

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.

Click on this link to view the line and then click on each model to view specifications and prices.

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

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.

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 the all foam mattresses, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

The Natura of Canada All Latex Mattresses will give you what you want.
