A Mattress and Pillow for a Big Man to Relieve Neck and Shoulder Pain.

Ed writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I've had pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder and numbness from my elbow to pinky finger for some time. 
I went to the Dr. and I have a bulging disc. I know it is from sleeping on my side while in my bed. 
When I sleep on the sofa, I stay on my back and the pain and numbness is reduced. 
I'm a big man, 6'1" 260 lbs. and 38 y.o. with no other physical damage. 
After researching and trying so many models, I'm focusing on an all latex mattress.

I noticed on the blog, several mentions of an innerspring mattress with a Talalay latex topper.
Does this work with an adjustable bed base, are adjustable beds worth the money?
I sleep hot and want to protect my investment. 
Reviews show that many mattress protectors sleeps hot, regardless of mfg. hype to the contrary. 
 
I need a recommendation for a mattress, a pillow and a mattress protector.
Thanks, Ed
 
Hi Ed,
First off, an all latex mattress is not recommended under these circumstances.
An all foam mattress, even with latex being the best of them, do not provide the pushback support your back requires.
Without the proper support, that bulging disc will herniate...making you back condition much worse.
I recommend a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system for the best type of support for you.
Given your size and all of your other ailments, the mattress I recommend for you is:
The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm.
A link to that mattress, shown here:
0003212_simmons-beautyrest-black-2016-desiree-luxury-firm
 
Add to that, a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
This latex topper, in combination with the individually pocketed coils in the mattress, will do a fine job of relieving your shoulder pain.
A link to the latex topper, shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The pillow that does the best job of relieving chronic neck pain, is the Latex/Down Pillow from Pure Talalay Bliss.
This mattress is made of 100% finely chopped latex, which allows you to manipulate the materials, as you can with a Down Pillow. 
Hence, the name.
You can fit the pillow around your head and neck anyway you like to relieve the pressure and pain.
Besides all that, latex pillows remain like new for years...unlike most other types of pillows.
Here is a link to that pillow:

 
Finally, this mattress protector is made of organic cotton. It does sleep cool. We use it at home.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.

The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper and pillow arrive via UPS.

The mattress protector arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free for all products, and there's no sales tax.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Mattress, Latex Topper and Pillow Recommendation for My Needs

Andrea writes:
 
Hello Pete,
I have just stumbled onto your website and read messages from others, like me, who are seeking advice for the 'right' mattress.
For starters, I am 65 stand at 5' 1 1/2" and weigh 130 lbs and it's just me in the bed.
The lower back and left side hip are areas of pain when I get into and out of the bed.
I toss between a side and back sleeper. 
Can you fit me with a mattress and latex topper to fit my needs?
I also need a comfortable pillow that won't flatten out and won't be too thick.
Thank you, Andrea 


Hi Andrea,
I do have a recommendation for you. 
The Simmons Beautyrest Silver Series mattress in luxury firm, topped with a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
This is something we've recommended over the years with great success. 
The mattress' individually pocketed coils contour to your body, maintaining the natural alignment of your spine and relieving pressure at your hip. 
The Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper provides extraordinary surface comfort that remains like new for many years.
This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of the old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Both come with free delivery and there's no sales tax.
Here are those links.
Simmons Beautyrest Silver Great Lakes Cove Corner

Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
 

We carry a couple of very nice latex pillows. Latex pillows that last for years.
On this next link, the Latex/Down is made of finely chopped all natural latex. 
It behaves like a down pillow, in that you can manipulate it to mold around your head and neck.
This is ideal for relieving chronic neck pain.
If all you need a nice soft comfortable pillow, the lesser expensive all-natural latex model on this same page is perfect for that.
Both of these Pure Talalay Bliss Pillows are low-profile, so you don't have to worry about them being too thick.

Latex Pillows for a Latex Mattress?

Danny writes:
Img_natura_latex-300x57
 
Hi Pete,
I need two latex pillows.  
Our current one is about 4.5" memory foam on a 2" soft latex mattress with a 4" firm latex core.
What do you suggest as a latex replacement?
Do you suggest the wool shredded latex or which do you recommend?
For shipping to Canada, will there be custom charges or is it shipped from Canada?
Thanks, Danny
 
 
Hi Danny,
All latex pillows are the highest quality and longest lasting pillows available.
Naura of Canada pillows are made in Quebec and delivered free anywhere in Canada, without any fees or taxes.
As you'll be able to see by clicking on this next link, there are a lot from which to choose.
Natura Latex Pillows (1)







 
By and large, choosing a pillow is a matter of personal comfort.
However, the pillows made of "Granulated Latex" are best for relieving chronic neck pain.
 
 
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Question about Latex Foam Mattress Toppers.

Kay writes:
 
Hello Peter,
I found your website and I have a question about latex foam mattress toppers
Can a topper help with neck, shoulder and hip pain? 
I'm a retired police officer this lots of injuries through the years.
What do you suggest?
Thank you, Kay


Hi Kay,
Only latex foam toppers provide long term solutions.
More specifically, The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper does the best job of relieving pain from pressure points.
This latex is made by Latex International in Connecticut....finished and sold by EverEden in Massachusetts.
Here is a link where you can buy one.

Neck pain is best addressed with a pillow.
I've been using a pillow that was introduced a few years ago. 
It has worked wonders on relieving my chronic neck pain, which I had suffered with for years.
Here is a link to that pillow....the Latex/Down model...also made by Latex International.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress Questions.

Ben writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Thanks for your quick response.  I have a few more questions for you.  
With our current mattress we have a low profile box spring. 
If we were to go with the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress, would we need the new box spring or can we reuse the old one?  
I wasn't sure if the box springs really wear out or not.  
In the end, the box spring is only a $200 so if you recommend we replace it, we will replace it.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-1

When I was at the store, I asked about a latex mattress and I was told the latex drys out/breaks down over time. 
I thought I would see what your thoughts were regarding that and how true that actually is or if it is just another tactic to push consumers to memory foam.
 
I see on your website you have several mattress protector and pillow options. Do you have any specific recommendations for both of those?  
Thanks, Ben   
 
Good Morning Ben,
The assessment of latex, that you heard at the store you visited, is 100% correct. Latex is natural rubber, starting as the sap from the rubber tree.
Rubber doesn't wear out. It dries out. However, a small detail was omitted from that assessment. It takes decades for that to happen.
Memory foam wears out...in about a year.
 
Boxsprings will usually wear in spots...the spots that support the bulk of your body weight....weak spots that don't really show.
A new mattress will conform to those weak spots.
Also, when you use any new mattress with any old foundation, the mattress manufacturer automatically voids the warranty.
Every mattress manufacturer has that clause in their warranty.
When we priced our mattresses, we added only the wholesale price of the boxsprings for the set prices.
However, if you wish to use your old boxspring, I suggest adding a sheet of plywood to the top of the boxspring. This will even out any weak spots.
 
We carry a very nice organic waterproof mattress protector from "Gotcha Covered".
shown here:
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5

The top two Pure Bliss pillows on this next link are my favorites. I have one of each.
The 2nd pillow is my primary pillow, used to relieve my chronic neck pain, due to arthritis on the left side of my neck.
It's made of finely chopped latex, which is easily manipulated to form around the head and neck to suite each individual.
The 1st pillow is made of very soft latex. I don't get them often, but when I do get a headache, there's no other place where I can lay my head and feel better.
Here's a link to the pillows page.

Pure Bliss Talalay Down vs. Natura Vibrance Latex Pillow.

Hey Pete,
Hope you are doing well.  I was wondering what is the difference between this Pure Bliss Talalay Down Latex pillow.
Pure Talalay Bliss Latex Down Pillow

and this Natura Vibrance Latex pillow other than the manufacturer?  
https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/Vibrance-All-Natural-Granulated-Latex.html?category_id=327
Natura Vibrance All-Natural Granulated Latex
Thanks, Eric

 
 
Hi Eric,
I have home tested both and find the PureBliss Latex/Down to be the more comfortable of the two.
That PureBliss pillow is made of finely chopped latex.
That Natura pillow is made of finer, granulated latex.
In both cases, the materials inside can be manipulated to mold around your head and neck.
We have sold plenty of each, and without complaints.

Neck and Shoulder Pain from an Old Latex Mattress.

Hi Pete,
 
My wife and I have had a high quality latex mattress for 16 years now. It has truly been a
great mattress.
Every year or two we either rotate or flip it and it does not appear to show any signs of
failing. My wife sleeps mostly on her side and I sleep mostly on my stomach or back.
She sleeps great, but for a year or so now, I wake up with neck and shoulder pain. I
noticed that when I travel and sleep on an innerspring mattress with a pillow top I wake
up feeling much better. 
We don't think the latex mattress is failing, and my wife still loves it, so replacing it may
not solve the problem.
Do you have any insights or recommendations?        
Thanks, Chris
 
Hi Chris,
The news is all good, with a reasonably inexpensive and long term fix to your problem.
Latex takes a long time to wear. And how it wears is the best part. It generally
becomes firmer, which is why it isn't as comfortable as it once was. The good thing 
about that, is you still have plenty of support, which means you don't need a new mattress.
Simply add an EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper to your mattress.  You will be good to
go with a very comfortable sleeping surface that will last for years to come.
Follow this link.

We also carry a latex pillow that has been a Godsend for relieving chronic neck pain.
It's made of finely chopped latex that can be manipulated like a down pillow...without wearing 
out like a down pillow.
It's made by Pure Talalay Bliss, called "Latex/Down".
Here is the link to that.

Pure, All Natural Latex Contour Pillow

Mary writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I purchased a mattress from you, about ten years ago (at least). - and also a latex contour pillow, which I love. 
I want to get one for my sister. Do you still sell them? If not, can you tell me the brand? 
There are so many advertised online, can't tell about the quality. 
Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,
They were latex pillows made by Sealy. They don't make them anymore.
And while I don't now carry Sealy Products, we do have a "Contour Latex Pillow", which your sister will enjoy as much as you do. 
The brand is PalmPring...made of 100% Pure, All Natural Latex.

Pure Talalay Bliss Latex-Down Pillow to Relieve Chronic Neck Pain.

John writes:
 
Hi Pete,
You seem to know a lot about mattresses. I'm hoping you know something about pillows and can help me with my chronic neck pain.
I find it impossible to find one that lasts very long. 
After buying a new pillow, my pain subsides some, but then the pillow starts to flatten out and the pain returns full force.
Can you direct me to a pillow that will work and last?
Thanks, John
 
Hi John,
We are kindred sufferers. I have arthritis on one side of my neck and suffered with the pain it causes for many years.
Like you, I've tried countless types of pillows that help me feel better initially, but loses their resiliency much to quickly.
The best for short term use was the down (feather) pillows for relieving pain, but flattened out faster than any other type.
Even all latex pillows, which last for years, don't quite fit my neck and only help with the pain a little.
A few years ago, I was given a pillow by the Pure Talalay Bliss mattress people. 
It was a new design...made of finely chopped latex.
It behaves like a down pillow...allowing me to mold the mattress around my head and neck so that it fit perfectly, regardless of my sleeping position.
As I had hoped, the pain subsided to the point of disappearing. 
What's more, it's now a few years later and that very same pillow it still performing as well as it did when it was new.
Don't get me wrong. I still have arthritis and the pain comes and goes....usually due to changes in the weather.
But before using this Latex-Down pillow, (as it is called), the pain was constant...and now, it's rare.
We have been promoting it for a while and it sells well. But, the proof is not in how well I can sell it. The proof is in the re-orders.
That pillow works so on a variety of causes of neck pain, that people often order more for their loved ones.
Here is a link to that pillow, where you can order online. Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
