A mattress for my mother-in-law.

Larry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We need a queen size mattress for my mother-in-law.

She's pushing 80 and is coming to live with us.

She's on the smaller side, with only the usual aches and pains that come with age.

We have a platform bed for her, so we only need a mattress without a box spring.  

What do you recommend?

Thanks, Larry

 

Hi Larry,

Let me recommend to you, that which we sent to my mother-in-law, who is sleeping well for the first time in years, according to her.

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system and is upholstered with latex and poly foams.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress...an important feature.

That mattress is the Wolf Tulah Plush Eurotop, providing excellent support, comfort and longevity.

The Wolf Hybrid Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress for the Family.

Mark writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My family and I are moving from NYC to the New Jersey suburbs.

Myself and wife, plus daughter (6 yrs) and son (3 yrs) all need beds.

My wife and I are average size.

 

Requirements/Constraints

I want to buy beds that will be comfortable for the long term. 

Another constraint is that the stairs in the new house probably cannot fit a king. 

I measured a width of 58" and a height from step to ceiling in the stairwell of 78".

I figure we can probably squeeze a queen through, but not a king. 

We also need to be careful that any bases and headboards come broken down into small enough parts to get them up the stairs. I sleep hot and would like a bed that is cool.

Thanks, Mark

 

Hi Mark,

If you already sleep hot, you need to avoid any mattresses made with memory foam.

Memory foam wears poorly and causes you to sleep even hotter.

 

The Wolf Hybrid Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress provides excellent support and comfort.

This mattress provides excellent support, comfort and longevity.

It really is all the mattress any of you will need. And, it contains NO Memory Foam.

The same mattress would be my recommendation for your daughter's bedroom.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/

This mattress comes shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed. It will fit anywhere, so you can go with the king size.

I recommend the Basic Black Platform Bed to go with that for all of your family members.

Would a slatted platform bed be good support for a mattress.

Erica writes:

Hi Pete,

Thanks, so much, for the mattress you've recommended. This really helps.

Our mattress sits on a slatted platform bed frame.

We put plywood down that's been wrapped in batting for a solid foundation.

 

Would this foundation be good support for the mattresses you've recommended?

Thanks, Erica

 

Hi Erica,

The cross slats need to be supported by a beam that runs head to foot up center.

That center beam needs to be support by, at least, one leg to the floor.

Take a look under the bed. If it has all that, you’re good to go.

Most platform beds have it. Only a few don’t.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Wolf Tulah Hybrid Plush Eurotop Mattress.

Sandra writes:

 

Hi Pete,
I was reading your mattress evaluations.

You seem to like the Wolf Tulah Hybrid Plush Eurotop Mattress.
I have a box spring. It’s about 25 yrs. old.
I try to stay on my back, but tend to lean to the left as I sleep. 

I’m 5’6 & 128 lbs..
I have left side of neck & shoulder issues...maybe, from leaning this direction.
Can you help me find this or give me more info?
Thank You, Sandra 

 

 

 

Hi Sandra.

You're just the right size for the Wolf Tulah. It's all the mattress you need.

But first, your box spring must be replaced.

I can only imagine that much of your discomfort stems from the worn out support your mattress is getting.

If your mattress is that old, as well, then there's no question as to why you're suffering.

 

The Wolf Tulah offer excellent support and comfort.

But it doesn't have a matching box spring and that needs to be addressed.

If you have a bed, (headboard, or headboard and footboard), that you want to keep, I suggest getting a new box spring from Costco, Sam's Club or Big Lots. They are very strong and very reasonably priced.

If you don't have a bed, or one that you care about, the Wolf Basic Black Platform Bed is a good choice.

The Wolf Tulah mattress on a new foundation will give you many years of supportive, comfortable sleep.

A Good Quality, Comfortable and Affordable Mattress.

Dennis writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a good quality mattress that will give me good support and be comfortable enough for my wife.

I know I don't want memory foam.

We have a queen size now, but are considering a king size.

While we want a mattress of good quality, we also need it to be affordable.

We are on the smaller side, but we have a couple of kids and a dog who like to get in bed with us.

Hence, the move to king size.

What do you recommend?

Thanks, Dennis

 

Hi Dennis,

Here is a link to the Wolf Hybrid Tulah, a very well made and affordable mattress.

It provides, both, excellent support and comfort.

This link includes specifications and prices.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/

 

The Basic Black Platform Bed, shown with it, provides for extra storage space under the mattress.

If you’d rather have a traditional box spring and frame, the best place to buy those are at Costco, Sam’s Club or Big Lots.

 

Shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.

Exact Equivalent Replacement of an Old Two-Sided Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Adam writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an old, two-sided Sealy Posturepedic mattress that needs to be replaced.

What is the exact equivalent replacement of that mattress, made today?

Also, I'm looking for a platform bed, maybe with drawers for storage.

Do you carry those?

Thanks, Adam

 

Hi Adam,

Sealy went from making 2 sided mattresses to one sided mattresses in 2003.

In 2013, Tempurpedic bought Sealy.

There is nothing made by Sealy, today, that is even remotely close to what you have.

We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer for many years.

When Tempurpedic Bought those companies, they loaded everything with their memory foam.

We stopped selling both brands at that time. 

What had been quality products are now nothing more than expensive junk.

All thanks to the memory foam, which is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

The good news! You can stop wasting your time looking for something that doesn't exist. 

 

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

Thank you for that. I don't like wasting my time.

Is there anything made, today, that is reasonably close?

I really liked this mattress.

Thanks again, Adam

 

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

 

Hi Adam,

Here is a link to an Old-Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress with strong, individually pocketed coils to insure proper spinal alignment, and using the same type of upholstery material that is in your current Sealy mattress. (NO Memory Foam).

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

You’ll order that in firm both sides.

The “Basic Black Platform Bed”, that’s priced with it, is an excellent value and offers excellent storage space.

 

If you prefer a platform bed with drawers, here is a link to our Atlantic Furniture page.

Each of the styles is available with drawers.

In each case, shipping is free and there’s no sales tax.

A Bigger Mattress for My 16 Year Old Daughter.

Jenny writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

My daughter is 16 years old and wants a bigger mattress. 

We’d like to invest in a Queen. Once she leaves for college it will become the bed in our guest room. 

She’s 5’5” and 120 lbs. 

We don’t need anything spectacular, just something firm and good quality. 

It will get daily use for only two more years and then intermittent after that. 

We purchased her twin bed from you about ten years ago. 

Thanks so much for your help.

Jenny

 

Hi Jenny,

It’s good to have you back.

The mattress I’m recommending is the same mattress my granddaughter has...as well as a couple of other family members.

The firm support from the double tempered individually pocketed coils contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

The latex and plant based polyurethane foams provide a comfortable and long lasting sleeping surface...ideal for a female her size.

The fire retardant is natural cotton...no chemicals.

The mattress is the Tulah Plush Eurotop...shown here:

That's great, Pete Thanks for the quick response! 

Does this mattress need a box spring with it?
Jenny

 

Hi Jenny,

Every mattress needs something to support it.

A standard bed frame and box spring is best purchased at Big Lots, Sam’s Club or Costco....by far, the least expensive places to buy those items.

They're good quality, too. Their mattresses aren’t worth a hoot, but the box springs are just fine.

 

Or, you can opt for the Basic Black Platform Bed we have priced with the mattress.

It’s an excellent choice if you want storage space under the mattress.

Is a Slatted Platform Bed OK for a New Mattress?

Erica writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks so much for the options you've recommended. This really helps. 

We'll flip our mattress tonight and see if he has any back pain relief.

 

Our mattress sits on a slatted platform bed frame.

We put plywood down that's been wrapped in batting for a solid foundation.

 

Would this foundation be ok for the mattresses you've recommended?

Thanks, Erica

 

 

Hi Erica,

The cross slats need to be supported by a beam that runs head to foot up center.

That needs to be support by at least one leg to the floor.

Take a look under the bed. If is has all that, you’re good to go.

Most platform beds have it. A few don’t.

 

 

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Platform Bed and a Latex Topper for a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex Mattress

Hi Pete,

I found your website while researching the internet for information on our current mattress.  

We purchased a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex mattress, more than 10 years ago.

 

This mattress is very heavy and we are looking to purchase a platform bed that will be strong enough to hold it.  

I was hoping you would have an idea of how much this mattress weighs.

 

Also, while reading your question and answer section, I noticed that you recommended flipping the mattress.  

Can this mattress be flipped?  It would be great if we could continue to enjoy it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Karen and Ken

 

 

Hi Karen and Ken,

That mattress is about 200 Lbs.

Be sure that any platform bed you buy has all the needed center supports.

 

Yes, you can continue to use and enjoy that mattress.

They were topped with plush poly foam, which is the part that wears.

Flipping the mattress brings the latex core to the top.

The latex core is very firm...too firm for comfort.

Add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to the flip side. 

It will become very comfortable and last for many years.

Natura Greenspring Mattress and Latex Topper for my 300 lb. daughter with Fibromyalgia and Back Pain.

Lydia writes:

Hi Pete,

I'm looking to purchase a queen mattress for my daughter who has fibromyalgia, back pain and weighs 300 lbs.

She is currently sleeping on a memory foam mattress on a platform bed, which is not helping her back issues.

I am leaning towards the Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm mattress and the 3” Pure Bliss Talalay latex topper.

Would you consider this the best purchase for her or can you make another recommendation. 

Thank you, Lydia

 

Hi Lydia,

The challenge is to have a sleep surface that is soft enough to reduce her fibro pain, and last under her size....

...as well as being strong enough to support her and her spine, size long term.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress and Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper will do both jobs well, for many years.  

Actually, for all of her circumstances, you can't do better than this sleep system combination.

Here are links to both products.
