Big Fig Mattress for a 235 Lb. Curvy Female?

Marcia writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
I'm 5’5 and 235 lb. curvy female.
My hubby sometimes sleeps there and he is about the same in height and weight. 
What do you think of the Big Fig mattress and Dream Cloud mattress?
Thanks, Marcia
 
Hi Marcia,
They don’t last. Lots of bad reviews.
 
My wife and I are both over 200 lbs.
The mattress we have at home is over 5 years old, and still in like new condition.
It’s made by Natura of Canada, their Greenspring Ultra Plush model.
Shown here:

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress set.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.   
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

A Mattress That Will Relieve My Back Pain.

Annette writes:
 
Hello Pete, 
A friend of a friend highly recommended you!
I suffer from back pain. From my neck all the down to my lower back. Emphasis on my mid back. 
I'm on the larger side 5'2" 220 and my husband 5'7" 180. 
We bought a mattress in January 2020 and it has started to sink on my side, causing even more pain. 
I desperately need a recommendation for a mattress that will relieve my back pain.
My husband is in the military, Infantry, so very labor intensive at times but overall sleeps great no matter the mattress. Please help! 
Thanks, Annette
 
Hi Annette,
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress is my recommendation.
It will give you the support, comfort and longevity you need and want.
Shown here: 
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
White glove delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
Delivery includes setup and removal of your old mattress.
You only need to replace the mattress. Your current foundation is fine.

A High Quality Mattress for Heavy People at a Reasonable Price.

Candace writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have a seemingly impossible request.
My husband and I are heavy people. He's 6' 250, I'm 5'6" 225.
We have had a very bad time buying mattresses. They collapse within several months!
Got that?!...MONTHS, not years!
We need a mattress. We need one that is reasonably priced. We need it to be strong enough to hold our weights.
We need it to last several YEARS...not just months.
I was complaining about all this to my sister-in-law, who recommended that I contact you.
Here's hoping!
Thanks, Candace
 
Hi Candace,
Most of today's mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
An average size person is likely to get a year or two for comfortable sleep.
Being a pressure sensitive product, a mattress made with memory foam wears even quicker under heavy people.
As difficult as it is to do, you MUST avoid buying mattresses with memory foam in them.
 
Your sister-in-law steered you to the right place. Thank her for me.
We specialize in mattresses that have no memory foam in them.
Instead, we focus on mattresses upholstered with latex.
Latex is and has been the best, most resilient upholstery material for the past 100 years.
Reasonably priced mattresses, upholstered with latex, is not easy to find.
However, with found the Wolf brand, while shopping the industry trade shows.
Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been owned and operated by the same family.
Est. in 1873, Wolf makes quality mattress at reasonable prices. The UPS delivery helps to keep the prices low.
Their best, strong and comfortable models, are the Individually Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Mattresses.
The coils are made of double tempered steel and the upholstery is latex.
There is NO Memory Foam in these mattresses.
For your sizes, I recommend the Adara model.

Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

Queen Adjustable Bed and Mattress. Budget Conscious.

Carolyn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I need an adjustable & mattress, queen size, budget conscious recommendation for my big, fat butt. 
I need to be able to elevate my legs and head. 
I honestly don't care about durability because I've had to move so often since 2016.
If I could get two years out of this new Queen size mattress, that would be enough for me.  
Your thoughts?
Carolyn
 
Hi Carolyn,
I believe I can exceed your expectations, with a good quality, well supportive and comfortable mattress and adjustable bed base that will hold a large person at a reasonable price.
The mattress is The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Adara, which uses a double tempered steel coil and latex upholstery...firm and comfortable. The Magniflex adjustable bed base that we offer with that mattress, is also excellent quality, with Italian Design and German Engineering.
Here is a link to that mattress:

A Mattress for a Big Man on a Limited Budget.

Jim writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm a big man, 250 lbs., on a limited budget.
I see, from your blog posts, that you often recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses for people my size.
 
While they seem to be the right choice, the problem is, I can't afford them.
Do you have a mattress that will hold up well under someone my weight?
Thanks, Jim 
 
 
 
Hi Jim,
We do carry a very well made mattress that is more reasonably priced.
The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Adara is your next best choice. 
Shown here:
Wolf Adara Latex Innerspring Mattress-The Mattress Expert
 
Like the Natura of Canada Greenspring, this mattress also uses a double tempered steel coil for firm, durable support.
And, the upholstery is latex. 
While not as elaborately made and shipped via UPS instead of white glove, this is your best option.
 
Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.

A Mattress for a Big Guy. Simmons Beautyrest?

Steve writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I saw a comment on a Simmons Beautyrest that was made by the mattress expert.  
Followed that back to your website, and here I am asking your thoughts.
 
I am a big guy, 330lbs 6'2". I'm usually a side sleeper, but not 100%.  
I have had a hip replacement, along with some knee and shoulder issues. I just turned 45.  
I, recently, slept on a Simmons Beautyrest mattress in a Holiday Inn Express hotel, and it was amazing.  
I read some of your thoughts and comments.  
I hate memory foam, as it makes me feel trapped.  
I like moving when I want to.
 
So... what are your thoughts?
Thanks, Steve
 
Hi Steve,
The thing that makes a Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the support from the individually pocketed coils.
However, their coils are not very strong, made of raw non-tempered steel.
Purchased at any retail store, those mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, which wears quickly and sleeps hot.
(The hotel models are not upholstered with memory foam.)
 
The mattress we recommend, for a person your size, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring.
That line, shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1
These mattresses also use an individually pocketed coil system.
The coil count is higher and the double tempered steel coils are stronger than in a Simmons Beautyrest.
Also, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which wears well and sleeps cool.
 
The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable of the four models.
However, at your size and for the sake of the longevity of the mattress and reduced expense as the years go by, 
we recommend getting one of the firmer models and adding a latex topper to it.
Doing it this way will allow you to replace only the topper, as the years go by, and not the mattress.
The latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, which will cause the mattress to remain like new a whole lot longer.
The latex topper we recommend is the EverEden Vytex Dunlop in Soft...with the 3" being more comfortable than the 2"...especially for a sore shoulder.
Those latex toppers, shown here:
 
EVEREDEN Topper_side-straps2
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress/set.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Shipping is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete

A Twin XL Mattress for a Big Man on a Limited Budget.

Pamela writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I see you carry xl twin mattresses. 
Which one would you recommend for a big man, 6'5" 350 lbs.? 
He is kind of on a limited budget.
I know you have a lot of ideas. 
Thank you, Pamela
Hi Pamela,
The best at a reasonable price, is the Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrid Adara Mattress.
Shown here:

It is a very strong mattress. 
The EverEden 100% Natural Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper will enhance the longevity, as well as provide greater surface comfort.

A Mattress for 2- 400 Lb. People

Tracy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We are looking for a mattress that will hold 2- 400 lb. people.
We tend to go through mattresses quickly, which has become expensive.
We currently have a Sealy Posturepedic. We wake up tired and feeling sick.
We like firm support, but comfortable.
What would you recommend?
Thanks, Tracy
 
Hi Tracy,
My recommendation comes in two parts....a firm mattress and a plush latex topper.
Latex is both, comfortable and resilient. 
A latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, adding to the longevity of the mattress.
As the years go by, you'll replace the latex topper from time to time...as necessary.
But you won't have to replace the mattress for many years.
The mattress is extremely strong, using a very high coil count and very strong coils, made of double tempered steel.
The upholstery is firm latex.
That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.
shown here:   
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 

Add to that, a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
PURE TALALAY BLISS 2 INCH LATEX MATTRESS TOPPER
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives vis ups.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Forever Foundation Mattress Support for Very Heavy People.

Brooke writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm interested in the Forever Foundation.
We need better support for our mattress.
My husband and I are very heavy. I'm 300 lbs. and he's a bit heavier.
We have an all latex mattress, which is good for us.
But we've broken 3 box springs and as many bed frames.
Can we get delivery to a remote area in WV?
Thanks, Brooke
 
Hi Brooke,
The Forever Foundation is specifically designed to hold very heavy people.
It comes with a lifetime guarantee, so this will be the last time you'll have to buy support for your mattress.
UPS delivery is free and can be sent anywhere within the continental USofA.
Here is a link to the Forever Foundations:

A Mattress that will hold a 300 lb. woman with Fibromyalgia and a Latex Allergy.

Tammy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I am big woman, 300 lbs.
My husband bought me a new mattress for Christmas. Now, it's totally shot.
I need something strong enough to hold me and comfortable enough for my fibromyalgia.
I have read, on your blog, that latex wears the best. But, I'm allergic to latex.
My brother has a latex mattress and tells me that it won't be a problem, since it doesn't touch the skin.
But, I'm still afraid of having an allergic reaction.
What words of wisdom do you have for me?
What can I buy that will work?
Thanks, Tammy
 
Hi Tammy,
There is more to this latex allergy thing...something you may not know and haven't taken into consideration.
Latex used for gloves and bandages have not had the allergen removed.
The allergen is the protein that is naturally present in the sap of the rubber tree...the source of latex.
When processed into foam, the process includes a 5-stage washing that removes the vast majority of the protein...rendering it Hypo-Allergenic.  
Add to that, the cover, a waterproof mattress protector, and your sheets...and your skin doesn't even come close to coming in direct contact with the latex.
Your latex allergy won't be a problem for you.
 
Latex is, by far, the most resilient upholstery material on the planet...and has been for the last 100 years.
Many of today's mattresses are upholstered with memory foam. 
Memory foam is worthless, and why your mattress didn't wear well.
You only got a few months form your, due to your size.
Average weight people don't get more than a couple/few years...so, you're not alone in this.
 
Latex, high quality latex, NOT processed in China, is kind of expensive.
However, if you had to buy a new mattress twice a year, a long-lasting latex mattress is far less expensive in the long run.
Given you size and fibromyalgia, I suggest starting with a plush latex mattress.
The Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush is the latex mattress I'm recommending to you.
Shown here:
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress
Fibromyalgia tends to be progressive.
The degree of softness need at the surface of the mattress will depend on the severity of your fibromyalgia.
If you need more surface softness than this mattress provides, that can be adjusted.
The next step, should it be necessary, is to add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The latex topper is extremely comfortable and very long lasting.
What's more, the latex topper absorbs a great deal of your body weight, saving the mattress from wear.
The topper can be replaced in the years to come, at far less expense than a new mattress.
 
Should your condition worsen, then you may need to add a comforter top.
These are extremely soft...requiring daily fluffing and frequent replacing.
This is why we recommend not starting with one of these.
When and if this becomes necessary, you're better off with a comforter made of synthetic down.
Synthetic down wears better that real down.
Bed Bath and Beyond is a good place to look for that.
 
The recommended mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Deliver includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax. 
 
 
 
 
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
 
 
Thanks, Pete
