A very high quality mattress for very heavy people.

Debbie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm hoping you can help us.

My husband and I are very heavy people.

He's 6' 4" and weighs 350 lbs.

I'm 5' 10" and weigh a little over 300 lbs.

We can't afford having to buy a new mattress every year, as we have done for the last 5 years.

Before that, we had a 15 year old Stearns and Foster mattress.

I just can't get over the lack of quality these past 5 mattresses have, including S&F.

Is there a very high quality mattress that will accommodate our weights and be comfortable over time?

Thanks, Debbie

 

Hi Debbie,

Stearns and Foster had been 'The Cadillac of the Industry' for decades.

That changed in 2013, when they were purchased by Tempurpedic.

The reduction in quality is due to the memory foam upholstery used in most of today's mattresses.

You can no longer rely on any of the name brands to produce the quality they once had produced.

All of them have been sold and all of them are upholstering their mattresses with memory foam.

 

For the quality you're looking for, we offer a line of mattresses that are made in Canada.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are very high quality, and what we sleep on, at home.

We aren't your sizes, both of us over 200 lbs. 

We have the Ultra Plush model that is now more than 7.5 years old.

It is, still, in like new condition.

 

Your additional weight will require a different choice of products.

My recommendation is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in "Firm".

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/

 

The Natura Greenspring series combines the natural elements, such as wool and latex.

But it has a specially designed pocketed coil system to provide your body with extra support.

The strength of the double tempered steel coils and the firm latex upholstery will combine to provide very long lasting support to accommodate your weights...over many years.

For surface comfort, add a Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Latex Topper.

Shown here:

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

This latex topper does a couple of things.

1) It provides long lasting surface comfort like nothing else available on the planet.

2) Because latex is the most resilient of all the foams, it will absorb much of your body weight, which adds to the longevity of the mattress.

3) Because it's removable, it allows you to replace only the topper, as the years go by, without having to buy a new mattress nearly as frequently.

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is FREE and there's NO Sales Tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Least Expensive, Firm Quality Mattress for a Large Man.

James writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I'm looking for the Least Expensive Firm Quality Mattress for a Large Man.

I weigh about 250 Lbs. Nothing I've purchased, recently, lasts for more than a few months.

Between my costly mistakes and the recent inflation problems, I can't afford to spend much.

Still, I'd like a mattress that doesn't wears  out quickly.

Is such a mattress available?

Thanks, James

 

Hi James,

The strongest coil system has always been the old Bonnell, interlocked coil unit.

These coils were used in most mattresses starting in the 1920s.

Today, most innerspring mattresses use an individually pocketed coil system.

While more comfort, they are less durable.

But the real problem you've been facing is the memory foam upholstery, which is used in most mattresses.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

It is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. 

 

The Wolf Adrian Mattress uses the Bonnell coils and has NO Memory Foam in it.

An inexpensive mattress that wears well and with NO MEMORY FOAM.

Chuck writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need a good, strong queen size mattress.

Times being what they are, it has to be inexpensive.

If it's not asking too much, the mattress needs to be strong and will wear well under a large man.

I'm 6' tall and weight about 200 lbs.

I've already wasted money on mattresses that don't last more than a year.

After reading your blog, I now know why.

So, this new mattress must have NO MEMORY FOAM in it.

Can you help me?

Thanks, Chuck

 

Hi Chuck,

Indeed, I can!

The Adrian Mattress fills your needs and it the most reasonably priced mattress we carry.

It sports a good, strong coil system and is upholstered with Plant based poly foam.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress and it will hold up well to a large man.

Recommend a mattress for a side and back sleeper with lower back pain.

Katie writes:

 

Ok Pete, 

You sold me on your mattress research (latex no memory foam)! 

Now can you recommend a king size for us to purchase through you?

I am 40 years old 5’7 133 lbs, side and back sleeper with lower back pain.

My husband is also 40 years old 6’2 and 215 lbs and he is a stomach sleeper with shoulder pain.

We have a Saatva mattress, and it is not working for us.

Thanks, Katie

 

Good Morning Katie,

When deciding on which mattress, size matters.

Specifically, the sizes of the people using the mattress.

Someone your size can get excellent longevity from a lesser expensive mattress.

This is not so for a large person.

So, the mattress I’m recommending is based, in part, on having to support a big man over the long term.

 

The mattress my wife and I sleep on is the ideal choice for you, as well.

Our mattress is more than 7.5 years old and still in like new condition, despite the fact that each of us weighs more than 200 lbs.

The individually pocketed coils contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

The coil count is very high and the steel used to make the coils is double tempered for durability.

The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex…3” of it.

 

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

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

In fact, it’s much firmer than lesser quality mattresses using that same comfort designation.

About 10% of the people who buy this mattress go on to add a soft latex topper, to soften the surface feel even more.

A Mattress and Latex Topper for heavy people on a budget.

Debra writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

My husband and I are looking to buy a new mattress. 

We are trying to decide between an all latex mattress or a good innerspring mattress with a 3" latex topper. 

We are both heavy People and I have severe fibromyalgia. 

Our budget is tight, but we want to get the best solution for our problems. 

Thanks, Debra

 

Hi Debra,

The innerspring with a soft latex topper will address all of your problems...do so long term, and cost less.

The best buy for a mattress that is supportive and long lasting is The Jessica Mattress.

The individually pocketed coils are made of heavy, double tempered steel, which promotes proper spinal alignment.

A Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Topper will relieve your fibromyalgia pain.

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

The comfort it provides is extraordinary and the longevity is equally impressive.

A big girl needs an inexpensive, firm, queen size mattress that will last a long time.

Kenisha writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I don't have a lot of money to spend on a new mattress, so I can't afford to waste any of it on a bad one.

It's for sure that I don't want a mattress with any memory foam in it.

I'm a big girl and need an inexpensive, firm, queen size mattress that will last a long time.

Can you help me? Am I asking too much?

Thanks, Kenisha

 

Hi Kenisha,

I can, indeed, help you. It's only too much to ask if you ask the wrong person.

I need mattress advise for a big man with back and hip pain.

Jim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need a new king size mattress. 

I am big man, 275 lbs., and have had several spinal fusions, and there's a titanium rod in my back.

I am side sleeper with pillow between legs (helps my back and hip pain).

I currently have a Serta pillow top mattress. It's terrible. 

I also have added 6" of memory foam that doesn't help either.

I need some advice.

Thanks, Jim

 

Hi Jim,

Well, you couldn't have chosen a worse mattress or topper.

Most people don't realize that the mattress industry has gone bad, by and large.

That Serta mattress has a weak coil unit and is already upholstered with memory foam. 

Adding more memory foam hasn't helped, because it's a lousy product.

Not only is memory foam a poor quality product, it's a health hazard.

It off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

 

We are large people, my wife and I. 

And, we suffer from many of the physical ailments that you have...and more.

Over the years, we've home tested quite a few different types and brands of mattresses. 

The one we have had for the past 6+ years, is the best we've ever had.

It supports well, provides excellent comfort and shows no signs of wear. 

Then again, it has NO Memory Foam in it...which is the key to a successful purchase.

The individually pocketed coils are made of double tempered steel, and the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex.

The mattress I'm recommending for you is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

You'll love the feel, which maintains your spine's natural alignment...and, it holds up well under a big man.

Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

David writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thank you for taking my email. I am currently in the market for a new mattress.

I currently have an Eastman House Island Firm and I hate it. My back pain is strong. Hip pain too.  

I am a stomach sleeper, 38, 230lbs, currently single. 

I have previously had the Simmons Beautyrest, which was not very good. 

Recently, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in London. I had zero pain. Nothing.

I am considering the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

I have had years of bad luck with mattresses. I have a few questions:

 

1.  Is ultra plush too soft for me?

2.  Do you think this is a good mattress for me?

3.  Is there any trial period?

4.  Can deliveries be on a Saturday?

5. Any other factors I should consider?

 

Thank you, David

 

Hi David,

Our personal situations are very similar.

I am over 200 lbs with a very bad back, including herniated and bulging discs and degenerative disc disease.

My wife, who is equally as large, and I have had that mattress for the last 5 years.

I sleep and wake without back pain, and the mattress is still in like new condition.

So yes, this will work for you.

 

Due to the high quality and resiliency of the components, all of the mattresses in that line are firmer than they sound. So no, the ultra plush model is not too soft.

 

If you live in an urban or suburban area, Saturday delivery is possible.

The further away you live from a populated area, the less likely that becomes.

 

Trial periods started with the introduction of memory foam.

It's the kind of hook you need to sell poor quality products.

And, when you deal with a retailer that offers a trial period, you could easily end up with a used mattress...something someone else tried and returned. Most factories don't participate in this scam. 

So, retailers resell them as new, since they can't go back to the factory for credit. 

As illegal as that is, it happens all the time.

So no, we do not offer a trial period. It's, simply, not necessary when offering quality products.

We've sold tons of that particular mattress. Everyone loves it. Not one complaint.

 

The foundation is available 9" or 5" high.

You'll want to measure what you have before deciding which foundation to get.

The mattress is 13.5" thick.

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Two Mattresses, a king size for my husband and I, a queen size for our son.

Diane writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We need two mattresses.

We need a king size for my husband and I, who are of average size.

We also need a queen size mattress for our son, who is a big guy.

What would you recommend?

Thanks, Diane

 

Hi Diane,

I have a couple of options for you, so we’ll start with the best.

This is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush...uses an individually pocketed coil unit with a very high coil count and double tempered steel...providing firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine. The upholstery is Plush Natural Talalay Latex, so a separate latex topper isn’t necessary.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices:

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

 

This mattress is available with a matching foundation, and comes with white glove delivery, which includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials.

 

Similarly made, is the Wolf Hybrid Mattresses.

The coil count is not as high but the steel is still double tempered.

The upholstery is latex for the Adara model and latex/poly foam for the Tulah model.

I’m recommending the Adara for your son, as it is the stronger of the two.

If this price point is better for your master bedroom, go with the Tulah for you and your husband.

The Tulah is the more comfortable of the two, and a good choice for your sizes.

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

These mattresses are not available with a matching foundation and they ship via ups.

For any of these, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete
