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.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the 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.

A Two Sided Mattress with No Memory Foam.

Ingrid writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm looking for a mattress with no memory foam in it.
We have been very unhappy with the ones we've recently purchased.
All have memory foam in them.
The salespeople say it's good, but it isn't.
I'd love to find a two sided mattress, like the one we used to have.
I'll need a new foundation for it, as well.
This lousy bed, we now have, is going back.
We need to keep the price around $1000 in queen size.
Thanks, Ingrid
 
 
Hi Ingrid,
We carry a very nice, old fashioned two sided mattress, that contains no memory foam.
It has an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the shape of the body, and maintains the natural alignment of the spine.
The upholstery is certified chemical free polyurethane foam.
 
The Brooklyn Plush...is more a medium plush...not real soft.
And, there is a 
Each are the same price...$699.99 for the Queen Size Mattress.

Both provide excellent support and comfort.
These mattresses are shrink wrapped, rolled, boxed and shipped via FedEx.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
 
As far as a foundation is concerned, the Best Buy is at Costco or Sams Club.
Their Sealy and Serta boxsprings are very firm with no moving parts to wear out.
They will cost you about $100 in Queen...and are completely assembled.
 
Through us, you have a couple of options.
“The Basic Black Platform Bed”, not needing a frame, is the most reasonably priced.

A New Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress to Replace Our 20+ Year Old Sealy Posturepedic.

Diane and Craig write:
 
Hi Pete,
I am so glad to have found  your website -it's so very helpful. 
To me it seems that buying a mattress has almost become like buying a car.
There's lots of choice, super confusing, salesmen that smile too much, and you kind of have to be on your guard. Ha!
 
My husband and I need a new mattress and want to get a good one. 
Your warnings about memory foam confirmed my suspicions. 
Our current mattress is over 20 years old , (yes, we aren't proud of that), and I truly want to find a mattress I love as much as we've loved this one. 
I believe it's a Sealy Posturepedic, the best we could afford back in 1995.
 
I think that after reading up, I'm interested in the Simmons Beautyrest Black 
But, it's very hard to understand the differences between the models. 
We are wanting to go with the less firm rather than more firm, for comfort...not sure if the latex topper sort of eliminates that concern.  
 
After reading your info it sounds like we should certainly get a latex topper.
I never would've known of that without your site - and the waterproof cover. 
 
So here's a rundown of our situation and hopefully it'll help you make a recommendation? 
 
We are older - 55 and 65 - and weigh 175, 220. 
No major health issues, but maybe just a little 'rusty' backs and necks. 
Looking for great support, just not uber firm. 
We need a King size.
 
Should we go with an all Latex instead of the Simmons? 
We are not wanting a platform bed - more the traditional type, mattress set.  
Would be nice to not have to flip, but if the bed is good, we would okay with that.
Do you think we should go with all latex? 
If so, do those also have the box spring/bed frames?
Does the white glove delivery include the haul away of our old mattress? 
(I feel sorry for them, but can't wait for it to be hauled away. :-) 
 
Generally, how long does it take between ordering and delivery?
What forms a payment do you accept?
When is a good time to call? Regular biz hours? 
We are in the central time zone - outside of Kansas City
 
Thank you so much for your help and so glad you have your business to help all of us get a better nights sleep!
Diane & Craig 
 
Good Morning to you both,
At your ages, it would be a mistake to brush off what you’re feeling as “a rusty back”.
The discs have worn, as they tend to do with age. Thankfully, it not a major problem.
For that reason, an all latex mattress would not be appropriate, as it does not provide the push back support your spine now requires.
 
With one of you over 200 lbs. the Simmons Beautyrest Black and Latex Topper combination is the perfect solution. 
To satisfy all your needs and desires, the specific mattress to get is the Desiree in Luxury Firm.
Shown here:

I recommend the low profile boxspring to go with this.
Otherwise, the bed will be too high...unless you want that.
The low profile boxspring will make it easier to get in and out of bed.
 
The latex topper provides the surface softness you want, that remains like new for many years. We use the same one at home. It’s several years old and we are, both, over 200 lbs.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
 
The mattress is firm, but not hard.
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of the old mattress.
 
The Waterproof Mattress Protector covers both, the topper and mattress.
Of all the ones I’ve come across, it’s the best.
Natural cotton infused with silver, which sleeps cool.
It doesn’t make noise...that crinkly sound that so many make.
It’s generously cut and won’t shrink when washed in hot water.
It, too, arrives via UPS...and would be the first item to arrive.
 
The mattress and the topper take about 2 weeks.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

I’m on the East Coast. My phone hours are 9-5 eastern time.
I’m out running errands, from time to time, so if you don’t catch me, leave a message and I’ll call you back.

Thanks, Pete
 
************************************************************************
Perfect. Thank you for your great info! 
 
Sounds like we'd order:
King size set - Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree, Luxury Firm
The 2" Latex Topper
The waterproof cover
 
Two last questions - I was a little unclear on the boxspring recommendation.
Is that something we select when ordering the mattress set? 
I think we'd certainly take your recommendation - we don't want it too low, or too high. 
 
And finally, our current bed frame has seen better days. I think we need a new one. 
Any recommendations there? 
Thanks, Diane
Hi Diane,
Measure the height of your bed from the floor to the top.
This mattress measures 13" and 2" for the topper.
A bed frame is 7" and the boxspring come 9" or 5.5"
Compare that to what you have, and try to match it up if you're happy with your current height.
 
Most people prefer to get in and out of bed easily.
Since your mattress is so old, it isn't likely to be as thick as most of today's mattresses.
So, there's another step you can take to lower it.
Since you need a new bed frame, they make those in low profile, as well.
A standard frame is about 7" high.
A low profile is more like 3" high.
Most stores that sell mattresses carry both.
 
Of course, there is almost no room to store anything under a low profile frame.
If you are sticking with a standard frame, I recommend "The Instamatic", made by Leggitt & Platt.
It'll be the last frame you'll ever need to buy.
The model number is 777...R or G.
The "R" means it has the wide rollers.
The "G" means it has Glides instead of wheels.
Most stores will have it with the wheels.
The glides are harder to find.
 
And, lastly, Simmons will provide you with a new frame.
It won't be an Instamatic, which usually runs a little over $100, but it will be adequate.
It is available standard and low profile...and it's included with the price of the mattress.
The delivery people will set it up when the deliver the mattress.
 
(What the delivery guys won't do, is unbolt it from a headboard, bolt the new one to a headboard, or take away the old frame)
 
You'll need to call me to order that mattress.
You may as well order everything over the phone.
 
 
ALSO IMPORTANT:
I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Two Sided Brooklyn Plush Mattress on a Scandinavian Foundation.

June writes:
 
Dear The Mattress Expert,
We have Scandinavian Bed which has slats (opening of about 2") on the foundation frame.  
Does your mattress with 8" coil, Brooklyn Plush Queen size, fit on our foundation frame?  
Or do we need to get sturdier foundation?
And, your two sided mattress can be flipped to the other side, right?  
Does your mattress sag over the years?
Thanks, June
 
Hi June,
As long as the sizes are correct, there’s no reason it wouldn’t fit.
Queen...60” x 80”
 
If your cross slats are supported by a center beam going from head to foot...
and, if that center beam has legs that support it to the floor, you’ll be fine.
Without all that center support, everything will sag.
 
The mattress is double sided and flippable.
All mattresses sag over time.
How quickly will depend on the quality of the materials in the mattress and the amount of weight you place upon it.
 
The Brooklyn is well made, using tempered steel coils and high density poly foam.
It has no memory foam...which is the worst upholstery material made.

Pure Talalay Latex Bliss Nature Mattress on a Platform Bed.

Hi Pete,
I am interested in a Pure Talalay Latex Bliss Nature model latex mattress and would like to use a metal platform bed. 
The bed I have is a fifteen year old, (I think manufactured in the Netherlands) and consists of a headboard, footboard and 2 platform sections (30" X 80"). The four outside corners of the platform sections have metal "teeth" that insert into the legs of the headboard and footboard. 
The center bars of the two platform sections are held together by the top brackets of two metal support pedestals. 
There are two metal cross bars and a metal mesh that (along with the two center bars) form the platform. 
The two outside bars are raised about three-quarters of an inch and form an outside border to the platform. 
Will the use of this bed affect the warranty or longevity of the latex mattress? 
The two retailers in my area offer conflicting advice. 
Thanks, Mark
 
Hi Mark,
The bed sounds really well made....and will not affect the the warranty, longevity or the performance of that mattress...which is also, very well made.

Adrian or Adara Latex Hybrid Mattress for a Platform Bed.

Debbie writes:

Hi Peter, 
You seem to have so much expertise in this area. I feel like I am taking a continuing ed course just reading your blog. Thank you. 
Are  you familiar with the Sealy Posturepedic Collection. A  friend told me that this line is geared towards platform beds with no box spring required. It has 16 slats.
I am currently researching mattresses and the more  time I spend investigating, the more unsure I am. 
My back is currently killing me at night from my Simmons BeautyRest which is 2 yrs old. Your  postings had me sold on latex, but my pocketbook says no way. 
So since I cant afford a latex mattress, I was considering a decent Sealy  as a base with a latex topper. Does this make sense? 
Do you have any better  suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks for all the great  info you provide, Debbie
 
Hi Debbie,
There is no mattress that is specifically made for a platform bed. Every mattress will work as well on a platform as it does on a boxspring.
You need to be sure that your platform bed has all the proper center supports. For instance, it isn't enough to just have 16 slats. 
Those slates need to be supported up their centers and that support needs legs that reach the floor. This will keep your slats from bowing and your mattress from sagging.
The mattress is what it is. If you use a poor quality mattress, the results will be less than desirable and it will have nothing to do with the platform itself.
 
Sealy is owned by Tempurpedic. Everything that Sealy makes is loaded with memory foam. 
Since your pocketbook speaks to you, then you don't want a Sealy Posturepedic.
All that memory foam is purposefully designed to need frequent replacing...something your pocketbook won't like, at all.
Since you have a budget, I have a mattress that I'm sure you'll like...a pocketed coil unit upholstered with latex...containing NO Memory Foam.
The purchase of a separate latex topper is not needed for this mattress. It's well made, supportive, comfortable, long lasting, and reasonably priced.
The Adrian and Adara models are, basically, the same...except that the Adara used all natural materials for the small difference in price.
Here is a link to those mattresses.
