A Mattress with NO Memory Foam for Relief of Chronic Back Pain from a Herniated Disc.

Jessica writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a mattress that will hold up well under plus size people.

My husband suffers with chronic back pain, due to a herniated disc.

What do you recommend that will help with his back pain, support large people and also be comfortable for me...a female side sleeper.

If the mattress is too firm, it hurts my hips.

I've read some of your blog posts and agree with you about memory foam. I want a mattress with no memory foam in it.

Thanks, Jessica

 

 

Hi Jessica,

My wife and I are, also, plus size and I have lots of disc problems in my back, as well.

The mattress we have is a few years old and shows zero signs of wear.

Also, I live without back pain, pain that was constant prior to getting this mattress.

The mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring. We have the Ultra Plush model...which is the most comfortable of their 4 choices of comfort.

 

These mattresses use a pocketed coil made of double tempered steel.

The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...and they contain no memory foam.

They are made of very high quality components, that wear well, providing long lasting support, comfort and longevity.

 

Here is the link to that line of mattresses.

A 400 Lb Man Can Sleep Like a Baby on a Natura Natural Latex Mattresses.

Nick writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I been trying for a few weeks to research to find an appropriate mattress so I can sleep like a baby.    

The last mattress I bought was a memory foam type. It was very good at the start but ‎got worse over time.. 

Now, I can't even turn and toss in bed as it feels like exercise!   

I'm a male, almost 400 lbs., sleep on my back, side and stomach.  

I'm looking for a king size mattress. I swear it sometimes feels as if sleeping on the floor is more comfortable!   

Is there any mattress you can suggest?   

I spend 1/3 of my life in bed, and I need to start sleeping properly for once and for all. 

I live in Canada, so not sure if that's an issue as I noticed you do ship products here.  

I appreciate your feedback. 

Thanks, Nick 

 

Hi Nick,

No mattresses made in The States, can't be shipped to Canada without a lot of fees, tariffs, and taxes....making them way too expensive.

Happily, we also carry a high quality line of mattresses that are made in Canada.

White Glove Delivery within the US and Canada is free, and without having to charge you any of your national sales tax.

 

The king of mattress that will hold up best under a 400 lb man is all, natural latex.

Since you find the floor fairly comfortable, I suggest their "Bourdolay Firm" model.

You can always soften it with a softer latex topper, if you later feel it necessary.

Mattress Recommendation for a Heavy Person.

Dan writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

What mattress would you recommend for me?

I like a very firm mattress, with no pillow top.

I'm a side sleeper who is a heavy person.

Thanks, Dan

 

Hi Dan,

The most comfortable mattress that will relieve pressure points at the shoulder and hip, for a side sleeper, is all latex.

Latex is extremely comfortable and equally resilient....ideal for a large person.

We carry a number of brands: Pure Talalay Bliss, Natura, EverEden, PalmPring.

All are natural and some are organic.

Here is a link where you can view all of them.

EverEden Dunlop or Talalay Latex Mattress Topper for Heavy People.

Chris writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I was looking at your latex mattress toppers and had a couple of questions.

1) For heavy people you suggest a dunlop over the talalay topper. Is the right? 

    A firm mattress, and then the dunlop topper on top?

2) How do you keep the toppers in place and not sliding off the mattress?

Thanks, Chris

 

 

Hi Chris,

You have it correct. The EverEden Vytex Dunlop is a bit more dense than the Talalay and will hold up better under heavy body weights.

The topper come completely finished in a reversible polyester knit cover.

Those covers have sewn in corner straps, which wrap around the corners of the mattress. That's how it stays in place.

We use on at home. It doesn't shift or need re-positioning.

Two Sided Tulah Luxury Firm mattress with a Latex Topper for 330 Lb Man.

Russ writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a mattress that is 4 years old and it has failed miserably.

Will the “Two Sided Tulah Luxury Firm mattress with a Latex Topper“ support my 330 lb. weight?

Can I use the boxspring I have with that?

Thanks, Russ

 

Hi Russ

You don't want to keep your old boxspring. At your size, you can bet that it has weak spots, to which the mattress will conform.

Also, using an old boxspring with a new mattress, automatically voids the warranty of the mattress.

 

The foundation to use, is the "Forever Foundation", which is strong enough to hold a farm tractor.

It comes with a lifetime warranty and will be the last foundation you'll ever have to buy.

Tulah Firm Mattresses for Large People.

Kristine writes:

 

Hello, Peter,

I recently came across your, oh-so-helpful, website with information on mattresses for larger people. 

You had recommended The Wolf Company's Tulah in firm. 

However, it does not appear to be available in King size. Will it be available in King eventually/soon?  

If not, which of the other King options would you recommend for a close to 400 lb person?

Thanks, Kristine

 

 

Hi Kristine,

The Tulah firm is not available in king size.

 

I have a daughter at that weight.

There's nothing more resilient than pure, all natural latex.

Here is the mattress she has.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

It's the 8" model...using a firm core and medium top layer.

A Large Woman Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress.

Sarah writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an older Simmons Beautyrest World Class Pinnacle Pillow Top. I am finding it to be very uncomfortable, so it's time for a new one. 

I sleep on my side and get pressure points on my shoulder and hip. 

Sleeping on my back is also uncomfortable. I spend a lot of time tossing and turning. 

I am a large woman, 35 years old, 5'6" and weigh 250 lbs. Mattress shopping has been overwhelming so far.

I have no idea what type or even what brand I should be looking at. 

Any advice?

Thanks, Sarah

 

 

Hi Sarah,

You based your last decision on your physical comfort, which was fine, since they wore well. 

Today's mattresses are made to sell, not last....using memory foam upholstery that your old Simmons Beautyrest World Class model didn't have.

The initial comfort of your mattress faded due to the pillowtop, and now is painful to sleep on.

Pillowtops don't hold up well. That would be the first thing to avoid.

 

Understand that a mattress is a pressure sensitive item. The more pressure you put upon it, the faster it will wear.

The memory foam, used in today's mattresses, is also temperature sensitive...softening as it warms from your body heat.

So now, you don't have to weigh a lot to compress a mattress. But, if you do weigh a lot, the mattress won't last more than a year. 

 

Memory foam is designed to provide initial comfort that will easily make the sale.

Memory foam is designed to NOT last for very long. The mattress industry is geared to making mattresses that need to be replaced frequently.

So, going to a store to pick out a mattress will produce more of the same of what you have just experienced....within months instead of years.

 

However, there is a way to get what you want and have it last...being comfortable and supported over a much longer period of time.

You do this, by substituting high quality products for the crappy products currently being used.

 

Start off with a mattress that is strong enough to hold your weight. Plush and pillowtop mattresses will not do this.

The strongest name brand model on the market today, is the Simmons Beautyrest Black Series.

The difference is that half of the coils in the Black Series uses a triple strand wire "Cable Coil"...a coil that is heavier than any other.

The mattress that will best under your weight is the Calista extra firm model, shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-black/

Beautyrest Black Mattress by Simmons For Sale | The ... themattressexpert.com Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattresses are ON SALE with FREE DELIVERY from The Mattress Expert. Call today to place your order! 856-874-6894

The upholstery material that will provide softness and not wear out anytime soon, is pure, all natural latex. 

Two inches of the EverEden Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex will provide surface comfort that is uniquely comfortable.

It provides a zero-gravity feel. You don't sink through it. 

It holds you up and relives your pressure points and relaxes your muscles so that you can sleep deeply.

Together, the mattress and topper provide everything your body needs...firm contouring support for your spine and a comfortable sleeping surface.

Latex is all-natural and far more resilient than any other type of chemical based foam. 

Being so, it absorbs much of your body weight and the mattress lasts longer as a result of that.

A Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Large Man with Back Pain and Comfortable Sleeping Surface.

Maria writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband is a big man, about 100 pounds heavier than I am.

He has pain from his back problems and needs a firm mattress. I like something softer.

The ones we've been buying haven't help up well...usually not more than a year or two.

I've read your blog and totally agree about not wanting anything with memory foam.

What do you recommend for a mattress that will give him the firm support he needs, will be comfortable for me, and will last a good number of years?

Thanks, Maria,

A Strong and Comfortable Mattress for Plus Size People.

Lacy writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

Our current mattress is worn out and needs replaced. My husband and I are both plus size people, at 350lbs and 260lbs. 

My husband's side of the bed has compressed considerably.

When we're both in bed, it's uncomfortable because I feel like I'm ready to roll down hill anytime. 

We currently have a pillow top, but we definitely do not want that again. 

Thanks for your help. Lacy

 

Hi Lacy,

First, you need a mattress strong enough to hold up under both of you.

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista extra firm mattress will do that job...shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/

Simmons Beautyrest & Recharge Mattress for Sale | The ... themattressexpert.com Browse and Shop for Simmons Mattresses at The Mattress Expert. We offer Simmons Beatyrest Black, Recharge and TruEnergy.

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil unit, so there will be no more rolling together.

But, you should rotate your mattress every month.

Had you done so with the mattress you have, it would have worn more evenly.

This is especially important when there's a large difference in weight between the people using it.

 

Next, you'll need to soften the surface without it collapsing on you.

The best way to do that is with a latex topper.

For your sizes, I'd have you go with an EverEden Pure, All Natural 3" Medium Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper.

....and without running into the problems you're encountering now.

 

 

The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

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

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Plus Size People with DDD.

Michele writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are "plus size people". He is 6'1" and weighs 255 lbs. I am 5'1" and weigh 200 lbs. 

He has been diagnosed with DDD and bone spurs. We both have constant tension in our backs. He suffers with pain everyday. 

We currently have a Sleep Number bed that we have been sleeping on for the last 3 years....and we hate it. 

What do you think would be a good bed for us? 

Thanks for your help! Michele

 

 

Hi Michele,

An air mattress does not provide the push back support your spine needs...anyone's spine. Displacement is not proper support.

A large man with DDD requires a firm mattress, with coils pushing back up against you, that will remain firm over many years. 

In addition, you will also need a comfortable sleeping surface that will also retain its comfort over the long term. 

The problem with most of today's mattresses is that they aren't made well...not like they had been only 15 years ago. 

Today, mattresses are loaded with memory foam...made to be replaced frequently.

For people who suffer from disc problems, this reduction in quality is simply unacceptable.

 

We carry a line of high quality mattresses that will work for the two of you....providing the proper support, comfort and longevity.

We are large people, as well...and with plenty of disc problems of our own.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress that we use at home, is the best we've tested, over the years.

There are 5 models in the line, with the Plush Eurotop being the most comfortable of them.
