No Neck Pain, No Hip Pain on an Old Simmons Beautyrest Mattress.

Jeanne writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just stayed at my brother’s house and the mattress in their guest room was amazing. 

I experienced No neck pain, No hip pain, fell asleep instantly, and slept all through the night.  

His mattress is about 13-14 years old and had been slept on by their teen daughter for the first few years.

 

It's a Simmons Beautyrest Dressler Pillow Top.

 

What would be equivalent to this today? – if there is one.

My daughter & son-in-law had a Simmons Beautyrest Black, and got rid of it after 3 years.  

It was a bad investment for them!  

The company that picked it up said he picked up lots of them – lots of unhappy customers!

 

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Jeanne

 

Hello Jeanne,

An investment group bought Simmons several years ago.

In fact, that same investment group also bought Serta.

Both brands are now junk, thanks to the memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. 

Today, it’s all about profits and not at all about quality.

Nothing Simmons makes today is even remotely close in quality to the mattress in your brother's guest bedroom.

 

The mattress I’m recommending for you is the Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop.

It has the same coil system and support that’s in your brother’s Beautyrest.

It also uses the same type of upholstery materials, containing no memory foam on top.

Several of my family members sleep on this mattress.

 

UPDATE!…This Wolf Mattress Has Been Discontinued.

 

We are pleased to offer you a higher quality mattress from Eco-Terra. 

This mattress provides the same support with an upgrade in upholstery.

The higher quality upholstery provides greater comfort and longevity.

We haven't been able to find a mattress that doesn't have memory foam in it.

Laurie writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a neurological disorder which causes me severe sensory issues with certain textures, and memory foam is a HUGE issue! I cannot even tolerate pushing my finger into anything with memory foam. 

We are remodeling our bedroom and want to switch to a king sized mattress.

But for years now we haven't been able to find a mattress that doesn't have memory foam in it somewhere. 

Does anyone even make them anymore? 

I don't need or want a mattress that's ultra firm, but it needs to be firm enough that I don't feel like I'm falling through space and time. I hate pillow tops if they're too thick. 

I HAVE to feel a solid mattress under me so it doesn't freak out my sensory issues. 

 

Traveling has been horrible for both my husband and me because there are memory foam mattresses everywhere now. We always call first before we stay somewhere and ask if their mattresses are memory foam or coils, and they always say, "Our mattresses are not memory foam." Then we get to our destination, and inevitably find they have memory foam that I can actually feel. 

I noticed that the Hyatt Grand Bed gets high marks, but are they memory foam? 

I ask because we have to travel to visit our daughter and son-in-law, and I was looking at the Hyatt as a possible place to stay. We normally stay in Hilton's, but their mattresses are almost always awful.

 

So, I guess I've got two questions. The first is, where (if anywhere) can we find traditional mattresses with no memory foam that's a king or split king for our new mattress? We are still sleeping on the first mattress we bought 30 years ago which we love, but it's a queen. My husband has always been a loud sleeper (snoring, groaning, rolling, talking in his sleep), which has been difficult to tolerate all these years, but thankfully he is very sympathetic about my need for a solid mattress. After our daughter married a few years ago, he's been sleeping in her room. We don't prefer this arrangement which is why we want to get a king or split king(?) mattress so we can sleep together again. The second question is, what hotels have good traditional mattresses? The Hyatt looks promising. 

When I searched info on their mattresses, I found you. 

I sincerely hope you are able to give me answers to our issues and point us in the right direction, especially for a new king mattress for us.

 

Thank you so much for your time!

Sincerely, Laurie

 

Good Morning Laurie,

As a retailer shopping at the industry trade shows, I can tell you that finding mattresses without any memory foam in them is difficult. I found some. and sleep on one at home. All who buy them, love them.

Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of Mattresses.

https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/

 

This mattress uses the same coil system as is popular in most hotels…an individually pocketed coil unit that provides firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine.

There is no memory foam in this mattress.

The ultra plush version is just as you describe as wanting…a comfortable sleeping surface, firm underlying support…a mattress that is not too soft by anyone’s standards.

 

The hotel mattress question is made difficult through evolution.

Hotels had long rejected mattresses with memory foam because memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…an absolute nightmare for hotels with so many mattresses.

The name brands had been willing to accommodate them, making hotel mattresses without memory foam in them.

But times have changed and all of the name brands have been sold to investors.

Tempurpedic owns Sealy and S&F.

An independent investment group bought Simmons and Serta.

Since memory foam is key to recouping their investment and enhance profits, they are no longer willing to make an exception for hotels. These memory foam filled mattresses, with coils or not, has been forced upon them.

 

Hotels replace mattresses as needed.

So, there are still plenty of rooms in any given hotel that has an older mattress in it.

The people at the front desk would not know which room as what mattress.

 

When my wife and I travel, we pack a 2” queen size latex mattress topper.

It’s not all that bulky once you fold it, roll it up tight, and cinch it with a belt.

Of course, this is not a practical solution if you’re flying.

Here’s a link to the Suite Sleep 2” Organic Latex Topper.

https://www.themattressexpert.com/latex_toppers.html#/

 

Based on what you’ve written, you’ll want the medium soft.

It does a fine job of insulating you from the memory foam in the mattress.

The queen size is versatile, as it can be use across a king size mattress.

Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top Mattress Equivalent?

Vince writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What mattress being sold in 2022 is the equivalent to Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top?

Regards, Vince

 

Hi Vince,
Nothing! Especially not from Simmons, thanks to all the memory foam being used today.

Your mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why it held up so well for so long.

Thanks, Pete

 

*******************

 

Hi Pete,

What mattress being sold in 2022 is the equivalent to Simmons Cape Horn Plush Pillow Top?

Do you know of any non-memory foam mattresses for sale?

Thanks, Vince

 

Hi Vince,

We specialize in mattresses that have no memory foam in them.

All, except one, use an individually pocketed coil system, for which Simmons Beautyrest is famous.

The best we have is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, which is the same mattress my wife and I have at home.

Here’s a link to that mattress.

https://www.themattressexpert.com/store/p142/Natura_Greenspring_Liberta_Ultra_Plush.html#/

 

 

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

Not only does it not have memory foam, it’s upholstered with natural Talalay  Latex, which has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

 

This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery

Time to Replace a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge Pillowtop Mattress.

Woodrow writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for this informative site. 

My wife and I have had a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge pillowtop mattress for about 15 years. 

And we have loved sleeping on it. 

But I think it's getting time to replace it. 

It doesn't seem horrible, but was wondering about what would be best replacement. 

Or, should we try a latex topper?

We are both around 200lbs, some side sleeping but mostly on our backs.

We're looking to choose between the Saatva, Ever-Eden Pure or the Natura GreenSpring.

If you could help give some input on these I would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Woodrow

 

Hi Woodrow,

Your mattress is older than you think.

It’s, certainly, 18 years old at the very least…likely 23 years old.

It was one of the best mattresses S&F ever produced.

S&F is now owned by Tempurpedic.

Nothing they make today comes close to the quality of the Knightsbridge.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

The sale of those companies to Tempurpedic is what sent us shopping at the industry trade shows for high quality alternatives.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is what we found to replace S&F.

The specifications of the Greenspring mattresses exceed those of S&F mattresses when S&F was “The Cadillac of the Industry”.

 

Ever-Eden switched from latex to memory foam last year, due to the pandemic disrupting their latex supply lines. As a result, we stopped selling that brand.

I hear lots of complaints from Saatva customers, which is likely due to them using latex that’s processed in China.

 

We’ve sold a ton of these Natura mattresses since 2013, and without a single complaint. 

It’s what my wife and I sleep on at home.

We’ve had ours for 6 years, and it’s still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

We sleep on the ultra plush model, which is their most comfortable.

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

It strikes me as ideal for the two of you.

************

 

Thanks Pete. 

I thought paying $700 for that S&F mattress in 2006 was a lot of $$. Young and uneducated at the time. 

If purchased through you, does this come with a trial period ?

Is the box spring included or just add a foundation ?

Do they haul old bed away ?

Thanks again, Woodrow

 

Hi Woodrow,

That was an excellent buy for a used mattress of that quality. Not bad for young and uneducated.

Trial periods were a result of mattresses being made with memory foam.

That practice didn’t exist prior to that.

It didn’t exist when that Knightsbridge was made, which has no memory foam in it.

Comfort guarantees are the kind of hook that’s needed to sell poor quality products.

So no, it doesn’t come with a trial period. It isn’t necessary.

 

If you opt to buy this mattress, you can choose a 9” or 5” foundation.

I recommend taking a measurement before choosing. That mattress is 13.5” thick.

 

Removal of the old mattress ended during the pandemic.

The trucking industry never liked doing it, so they used the pandemic as an excuse to end that service.

Most towns have a bulk trash pickup day. Check with your local municipal office.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

************

 

Thanks again Pete. 

It's a tough decision to make for the $$$, only because there's no trial and once you buy it, it yours. 

Since Talalay latex is supposed to be softer than the Dunlap latex, should go with a firmer Greenspring?

Woodrow

 

Good Morning Woodrow,

Due to the high quality of the components, all of the Greenspring mattresses are firmer than they sound.

The coil count is high. The gauge of wire is heavy and the steel is double tempered.

You don’t have a Dunlop/Talalay Latex frame of reference.

Talalay Latex is more resilient than the polyurethane foam in your S&F.

The Ultra Plush model is my recommendation.

 

If you go with a firmer model, you will likely have to soften the surface with a soft latex topper.

As it is, about 10% of the people who buy the ultra plush model have to add a topper.

No one considers that mattress to be too soft.

It, certainly, won’t be any softer than your Knightsbridge PT.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

*************

 

Pete, that was very nicely explained and informative. Getting ready to make our final decision.

This mattress is 13.5", correct?

Can they make the 5" foundation in 2 pieces? 

It's pretty tight corner coming around to the steps.

Thanks, Woodrow

 

Hi Woodrow,

Yes. A split foundation is standard in king size.

If you’re downsizing to a queen, just leave a message that you want it split.

That mattress is 13.5” thick.

 

 

Thanks, Pete - TME

Memory Foam Mattress Collapsed Under a Big Man.

Barbara writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We bought a memory foam pillowtop mattress, only a couple of years ago.

At first, we loved the feel. But now, it has totally collapsed on my husband's side.

He is a big man, 6' 8" tall and close to 300 lbs.

My side is nowhere near as bad, but not comfortable anymore.

Even though I'm much smaller than my husband, my side has also lost support and comfort.

Clearly, we need a new mattress, but I'm paralyzed with fear of making another expensive mistake.

I need a recommendation. 

I've been reading your blog posts and am wondering about the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.

I believe you have one of these at home.

Thank you, Barbara

 

Hi Barbara,

Since you've been reading my blog, I won't go into what a poor-quality material memory foam is.

I'm sure you've already read plenty about that.

You're quite right, The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are what I would recommend.

Since your husband is so tall, his weight evenly distributed, you can go with the same mattress we use at home.

That would be The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices:

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

 

This mattress provides strong support and a comfortable sleeping surface that won't collapse under a big man.

We, my wife and I, are no light weights...each over 200 lbs.

Our mattress is closing in on 6 years of age...and still, in like new condition.

You need to replace the mattress only.

The foundation you have is likely to be fine. Just check it before you place your order.

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Recommend a Mattress like the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Pillow Top.

Tommy & Julia write:

 

Hi Pete,

We had a Simmons World Class Beautyrest Mattress and was told they are not made anymore. 

We were so pleased with that Beautyrest, we went out and bought a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Mattress. 

But, it's nowhere near the mattress Simmons called the World Class Pillow Top . 

We see where you advise people who need a new mattress. 

What do you recommend for us to buy? 

Company name and model of mattress, Please sir.

Thanks, Tommy & Julia

 

Hi Tommy & Julia,

Besides this question, you posed another on Facebook.

The Facebook question, about a chemical free mattress, has been answered.

 

The response to this question conflicts with the Facebook question.

Simmons uses memory foam, which is toxic.

When Simmons originally went to using memory foam, several years ago, the memory foam was being cured, so there was no off gassing of the toxic chemicals used to make it. 

More recently, there have been a lot of complaints about it.

 

If I were to answer this question without having seen the Facebook question, I would recommend buying a Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series mattress in a Medium Firm and adding a soft all natural latex topper to replicate the feel of a pillowtop....(The World Class name has changed to Platinum).

 

This sleep system combination is the best way to get the longevity of your original Beautyrest, which had no memory.

Memory foam, besides being toxic, is short lived.

An all natural latex topper prevents the premature wear of the memory foam, but won’t save you from the toxic chemical off gassing produced by the memory foam.

 

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

The mattress in the Facebook post also uses that same coil system.

 

So, if you’re going with the chemical free mattress in the Facebook post, you’ll want the ultra plush model.

Shown here:

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

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress/set.

 

If going with a Beautyrest Platinum Medium Firm and latex topper, you’ll need to buy the mattress from a local retailer.

Here is a link to the Suite Sleep Pure, All Natural latex toppers, with the 3” Vita Talalay Latex Topper being the softest of them...and the highest quality latex on the market.

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

 

The latex topper ships via ups.

From us, shipping is free and there’s no sales tax for all of the products we carry.

Tired of Sleeping in a Hole on a Sealy Pillowtop Mattress.

John writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are shopping for a new mattress.

I'm tired of sleeping in a hole on our Sealy Pillowtop mattress, that we got only a year ago.

I am 6'1", 250 lbs. My wife is much smaller, but has a hole on her side too.

We plan on getting something firmer to avoid all this.

But when we check reviews for the Serta and Simmons mattresses, we tried, everyone says they only last about 3 years.

Is this what I can expect from mattresses today?

Are there any better alternatives?

Thanks, John

 

Hi John,

That's what you can expect from all the, so called, name brands that you could once trust to make a quality mattress.

What changed? 

They were all sold to investors who use memory foam, which causes a mattress to need frequent replacing.

3 years is all you can expect at average body weight. For a man your size, about a year from anything they make.

 

There is an alternative.

My wife and I are over 200 lbs., each. 

Our current mattress is almost 5 years old and, still, in like new condition.

The difference?...a stronger coil system and latex upholstery...with NO Memory Foam.

Of course, it isn't made by any of those name brands that have gone bad.

And, you don't have to substitute comfort for longevity.
We have the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, which is what I'm recommending for you and your wife.

A Simmons Beautyrest to Replace a Memory Foam Mattress.

Cal writes:

Hi Pete,

We are looking for a new mattress to replace a memory foam one, which we absolutely hate.

After reading tons of your replies, we're leaning towards a luxury firm type mattress with a soft top.

One that seems to fit what we're looking for is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Luxury Firm Pillow Top.

Choosing a mattress brand is hard, we don't care what brand name. We just want a good quality mattress.

Wife is 130 lbs, I am 160. 

We rarely sleep together as we work alternating shifts where both of us are on our feet a lot. 

She's a nurse. I'm a policeman.

Trying to keep it soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough to last us a few years within a budget of $2500....mattress only, as we already have a good foundation.

Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction, your blog has been very helpful. 

Thanks, Cal

 

Hi Cal,

You're on the right track...the right mattress...the wrong top.

The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Luxury Firm is one we often recommend.

It provides firm contouring support for your spine.

However, we never recommend a pillowtop. 

Pillowtops are filled with memory foam, which loses its initial comfort rather quickly...something you hate.

When we recommend this mattress, we also recommend adding a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper. The latex provides extraordinary surface comfort that remains like new for many years.

Here's a the link to those latex topper:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

You be happy to see that together, the mattress and topper will cost less than you've budgeted.

The prices shown are complete...including delivery and tax.

Simmons Beautyrest Black L-Class Extra Firm vs. Medium Mattress.

Mike writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Question: 

I'm interested in Simmons Beautyrest Black L-Class mattress.                                  

What is the difference/feel/comparison between the extra firm and medium?                      These do not have a pillow top right? 

Thank you, Mike

Hi Mike,

They are not pillowtops.

The extra firm has stiffer upholstery than the medium.

Both use the same strength coil unit.

 

Both are upholstered with memory foam.

So, a latex topper is necessary for those mattresses to keep their shape.

We recommend the Pure Bliss Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to go on it.

 

If it's just you, the 2" topper is all you need to preserve the mattress.

If there is a female involved, I recommend the 3".

The 3" is more comfortable for a woman's hip, then the 2".

 

If there is a female to consider, I suggest going with the Medium mattress vs. the extra firm....for the same reason.

Consumer Reports Recommended Serta i-Series Mattress.

Primo writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I chanced upon your website when I was searching online for reviews from other people who had issues with memory foam. 

Unfortunately for me, I already made the wrong purchase. 

I read thru Consumer Reports and they had recommended the Serta i-series for side sleepers. 

I went to a couple of stores and bought the i-series pillowtop mattress. 

 

However, the first night I slept on it, my shoulders, upper back and hips were hurting from my side sleeping position on the mattress. 

I tried it a couple more nights but could not sleep thru the night because of the pain. So, I moved in to my son's bedroom. 

I did a comfort exchange after waiting the 21 days minimum and told them that I did not want memory foam in my next mattress. 

However, I was told that all spring mattresses had some form of memory foam in it, and in fact, it does relieves pressure points. 

The salesperson showed me a Simmons Beautyrest mattress. 

He said that it was pre-compressed foam and not as much foam topping as others.

I tried the plush model in the store, twice for about 10-15 mins, and I liked it. 

I didn't have much choice because I had to exchange it, they would not refund my money. 

The Beautyrest also caused similar shoulder and upper back pain for me.

I feel like I am sinking in this mattress and could not turn easily from side to side. 

I haven't slept a complete night on that mattress and usually go and end up changing bedrooms with my son. 

His cheap Ikea spring mattress, (which does not have any memory foam, and I love it. 

So, now, I am hoping to get some advice from you on whether I can find another spring mattress with no memory foam.

One that just uses polyurethane foam or latex? 

I am 5 feet 6 inches, about 135 pounds, side sleeper and very sensitive to memory foam as you can tell from my description above. 

Any recommendation or guidance that you can provide will be appreciated. 

Thank you, Primo

 

Hi Primo,

Memory foam is worthless when it comes to relieving pressure points or providing long lasting comfort.

Consumer Reports is testing temperature sensitive mattresses with pressure sensitive equipment. 

They are not factoring in, the way memory foam reacts to body heat.

Hence, their conclusions are all wrong.

 

You can buy an innerspring mattress, from us, with no memory foam in it. 

We carry a couple of reasonably inexpensive, old fashioned two sided mattress, upholstered with Polyurethane foam.

Here is a link to those:

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

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

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what we sleep on at home.

It is among the best quality mattresses you can buy, with a price tag that corresponds to the quality.

If you want "the best", then this is it.

But frankly, at your weight, the lesser expensive two sided mattress will serve you well.

Here is a link to the Natura Mattress::

Neither mattress has any memory foam in it.

The two sided mattresses arrive via UPS

The Natura mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

Either way, delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
