A mattress for chronic lower back, neck and fibromyalgia pain.

Glenn writes:

 

Good Morning, Pete.

My wife has chronic lower back, neck and fibromyalgia pain. 

I am trying to help her with a new mattress. 

She is in bed so often due to severe pain that the current mattress is worn out.

Please share your thoughts with us at your earliest convenience.

Thank you, Glenn

 

Hi Glenn,

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Plush is my recommendation.

The individually pocketed coils will maintain her natural alignment and relieve her back pain.

The plush upholstery is comfy and will ease her fibro pain.

Her body being properly aligned, may be enough to ease her neck pain.

If not, The PureBliss Shredded Talalay Latex Pillow is designed to relieve chronic neck pain.

Shown on this page:

https://themattressexpert.com/organics/organic-pillows/purebliss-latex-pillows-page/

And while that mattress is soft enough for many suffering with fibro, an additional Soft Mattress Topper may be necessary for more advanced cases. There is a large selection of them on this page:

Back pain on a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Pat writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm having back pain on a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress that I sink into.

I'm looking for a new mattress that will relieve my back pain and not sleep hot, like this one does.

I have a narrow staircase, so I need a split queen boxspring.

I also have neck pain.

What would you recommend to address all of my issues?

Thanks, Pat

 

Hi Pat,

This first link is to the Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress.

You’ll want the plush model for comfort.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

The individually pocketed coils are what will relieve your back pain.

The natural, plant based polyurethane foam will provide the comfort without allowing you to sink and you won’t sleep hot...because it has NO Memory Foam in it.

The foundation assembles easily and without needing tools...so you won't have to worry about it being split.

It’s available in 5” or 8” and in a choice of 3 different colors.

 

This link is to the PureBliss Shredded Talalay Latex Pillows. (Hypoallergenic)

It’s this that will relieve your neck pain…and last for years.

Excruciating Pain on a Stearns and Foster Estate Collection Plush Mattress.

John writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I really appreciate your reply!!!  

I am getting ready to fight with my retailer for a refund as I am on my second mattress from them.

It's a Stearns and Foster Estate Collection Plush King...... I can't lay in it for more than 10 minutes before my back, knees, neck go into excruciating pain!!!  

That's not what happened in the show room.

In the show room, it was extremely comfortable but I only laid in it a few minutes.  

I financed this mattress. Can you give me some guidance on how I can get a refund?

 

I will definitely order a Wolf Brolynn Plush Mattress, from you, once I resolve this situation.  

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

Thanks Again, John

 

Hi John,

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years, prior to them being sold to Tempurpedic in 2013.

S&F had been considered the Cadillac of the Industry, up to then.

They turned into nothing more than expensive junk, literally, over night.

 

Getting a refund isn’t likely, without some degree of coercion.

You might try reversing the charge through the finance company.

Your local news agencies often have a consumer advocacy department.

Getting in touch with your state’s department of consumer affairs may help.

If all else fails, a lawyer.

 

Thanks, Pete

I’m ready to purchase a latex mattress topper.

Barb writes:

Hi Pete,

I spoke with you more than a year ago, and I’m now ready to purchase a latex mattress topper.  

We have a newer mattress, firm and no pillow top. 

My husband is a side sleeper and has some neck issues.

We are also ordering the side sleeper pillow for him. 

I am a a back and side sleeper, with lumbar scoliosis and arthritis.  

Should we order the 2" or 3" Pure Bliss Talalay latex topper?  

And should we go with plush?

Thanks, Barb 

 

Hi Barb,

The last time we spoke, PureBliss was still making latex toppers for their retail customers.

That ended last January during the pandemic, when they closed 2 of their 3 US factories.

Latex International owns PureBliss and is still making latex for their wholesale customers.

The Natura of Canada Talalay Latex Mattress Topper comes from Latex International.

They are only available in 2” and Plush is what you’ll want.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/natura-of-canada/natura-of-canada-latex-mattress-toppers/

The pillow you’re husband needs is the PureBliss Shredded Latex, 

This pillow is ideal for relieving chronic neck pain.

Never:

Use an old box spring/foundation with any new mattress. 

Doing so voids the warranty of the mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-foundations/magniflex-kd-foundations/

 

Always:

Use a waterproof mattress protector. 

Your new mattress will last longer if kept clean and dry.

We have an old mattress and need a new one.

Linda writes:

Hi Pete,

We have an old mattress and need a new one. Could you give me a recommendation?

I am 58 yr old woman, 140 pounds, a lot of lower back pain, shoulder pain, muscular pain and stiffness throughout. Husband weighs 250 and has neck pain.

I want comfort, support, and pain pressure points relieved and feel better when getting up instead of so stiff!

Can you recommend if a topper should be added with it?

Thanks a bunch, Linda

 

Hi Linda,

The recommendation comes in three parts. 

First, the mattress set for the firm support you need.

The Wolf Jessica Mattress has firm, contouring individually pocketed coils, which will maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. This is what will relieve back pain.

Shown here:

 

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress/the-jessica/

Second, the plush upholstery that will relieve pressure point pain, and do it long term.

A 1992 Sealy Posturepedic Super Premium Coronation Super Firm Mattress.

Diane writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I recently was given a Sealy Posturepedic Super Premium Coronation Super Firm Mattress.  

It is brand new, still wrapped. I couldn't believe it has never been used and in perfect condition. 

Today will be my first day of sleeping on the mattress. 

My concern is the safety of the materials that it was made with. The manufacturer date states 1992. 

 

I know nothing about this mattress or of any chemicals and materials that it was made with. 

If you can please let me know if this will be okay for me to use. 

I am only 45 and have arthritis in my lower spine which causes pain but mostly neck pain. 

I frequently wake up with back and neck pain. Starting my day in pain is a real bummer. 

If this isn't the right mattress for me, please tell me what is the right mattress you recommend.

Sincerely, Diane

 

Good Morning Diane,

You have my hardiest congratulations.

That was an excellent quality mattress.

The upholstery is petrochemical based polyurethane foam.

However, at that time, the foams were cured before being added to mattresses.

So, you don’t have to worry about it off gassing.

In fact, you have nothing to worry about other than it being too firm for your arthritis.

 

If you need to soften it, add a Suite Sleep 2” or 3” soft chemical free organic latex mattress topper to make the surface more comfortable. Soft latex provides the feeling that you’re floating.

What’s more, the latex topper will absorb all of your body weight, causing the mattress to remain like new for a very long time.

 

That mattress is already engineered to last for many years.

The addition of a latex topper will double the life of an already long lasting mattress.

 

Here’s a link to those latex toppers, should you find that you need one.

An older Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Maureen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Can you help me here? 

I don't want to order a mattress and box spring only to have to pay a recall fee.

I cannot find any mention for an older Simmons Beautyrest Mattress, the Olson Way. 

It is just over 10 years and it is not giving me the support I now need. 

I loved the individual coils, etc. 

Possibly, it is not just the bed as my body has not been nice to me over the last 6+ years.

 

I don't want memory foam. I don't know if I should get a plush or pillow top because

I have read that plush is not good for spinal alignment and that pillow top is bad for older people. Augh!

 

I am 88, and might be having to have a spinal fusion this fall.

I have spondylolisthesis (severe at L4/L5 and now slipping at L5/1 Doctor said at grade 2. 

I will get an MRI and see a neurosurgeon next month. Last test was December of last year.

 

Also getting a DEXA scan as I have some osteoporosis and osteopenia; need to see what that shows.

Adding: I have painful hips; gluteal tendinopathy, both sides. Spurs in S/I  joints and hips. 

Also, peripheral neuropathy in both lower limbs and feet and just plain nasty feet with surgically inducted arthritis in toes.

 

Every facet in my spine is arthritic. I have cervical stenosis, healed compression fractures at T5 and 12.

 

I see recommendations from $700 to >$2000.  My budget is closer to $1500. 

I am temporarily sleeping on what my daughter had in her guest bedroom. 

It is a Sealy Deveraux Plush Pillowtop.  

It's not as bad as my old Beautyrest, but I still get up a couple of times due to pain.

I thought that would happen with all mattresses, but while in Ireland in May, I sleep all night a couple of times and one morning realized my hips weren't hurting. Their mattresses were all made in England.

 

Thank you, Maureen

 

Hi Maureen,

Nothing Simmons, Sealy, or any of the name brands makes today, in the US, is made without memory foam.

What makes a Beautyrest so comfortable is the individually pocketed coils, which contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

 

Pillowtop mattress are not good because of how quickly they wear.

A mattress with good, firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface is the way to go.

There’s nothing wrong with a plush mattress, if it’s not too soft.

 

The mattress I’d recommend for you is:

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Plush.

This mattress has an individually pocketed coil unit and is upholstered with natural, plant based poly foam.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress.

I need help purchasing a good mattress for a very large guy.

Joe writes:

 

Hey Pete, 

I need help purchasing a good mattress. I’m a very large guy (6’4” 450+). My wife is 5’4, 200. 

We have a Simmons Beautyrest from 2020. It’s completely broken down, and we are still paying on it. 

The warranty claim was denied due to soiling. We will be paying on this thing until 2023. 

(Ridiculous, I know.) 

This mattress is causing us back, hip and neck pains. 

The side stitching has come apart, and literally have to stuff it back into the mattress. 

What would be a good bed we could get that will stand up? 

Thanks, Joe

 

Good Morning Joe,

There isn't a name brand mattress, made today, that will long withstand the weight of average size people...let alone, a man your size.

Brands that you once could rely upon for quality, have all been sold to investors who are now making high profit/low quality mattresses.

 

I have a couple of options for you.

Options #1) The Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Firm

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

 

This is the reasonably priced option, but still, far better quality than any Simmons mattress.

This mattress uses the same type of coil system as is in the Simmons Beautyrest.

The steel, from which the coils are made, is twice tempered.

Simmons uses raw steel...not tempered, at all.

The upholstery is Natural Plant Bases Polyurethane Foam, which is far more resilient than the memory foam used in all of the Simmons Beautyrest mattresses.

Add a Suite Sleep 2" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper to it for surface comfort and added Longevity.

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

While quite a bit better than what you have, option #2 is your best option for long term use.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm and a Suite Sleep 2" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper.

Shown here:

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

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

 

This mattress, also uses a double tempered pocketed coil unit with latex upholstery.

The coil count is higher and the latex is more resilient than the poly foam in the Wolf mattress.

This particular model is very firm...too firm to sleep on comfortably.

The latex topper will do two things...provide the surface comfort you and your wife need to sleep deeply, and prevent the mattress from wearing by absorbing much of your body weight.

 

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

High quality, Pure Latex lasts for years. 

So as the years go by, you should only need to replace the topper from time to time.

 

Since there is a substantial difference in weight between you and your wife, it will be imperative that you rotate your new mattress regularly to attain more even wear, which will extend the comfort life of the bed....once a month.

If the mattress is a king size, I suggest a quarter turn rotation.

Only a king is square enough to pull this off.

The quarter turn rotation will enhance the even wear of the mattress.

 

Option #1 arrives via UPS

Option #2 comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of all packing materials.

Either way, Delivery is FREE and there's NO Sales Tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete
