A Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Bigger Person.

Carolyn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I ran across something you wrote about the beds Holiday Inn uses and wanted to get your opinion. 
What you wrote sounded very knowledgeable. 
 
I am a bigger person, 240 pounds. I have been sleeping on a couch for 20+ years. 
When I do sleep on a bed, my lower back hurts so bad in the middle of the night I can barely stand it. It has gotten better. 
I have had no problem staying 2-3 nights at Holiday Inn, but last fall I stayed at a Hilton and my back was thrashed. 
I want to go back to a bed but have no idea what to look for. 
I like something firm. What brand or style mattress would you recommend?
Sincerely, Carolyn
 
 
Hi Carolyn,
The Hilton Hotels use a serta mattress, which has always been the lowest quality of all the name brands...for the entire 45 years I've been doing this.
The Holiday Inn uses a Simmons Beautyrest mattress. Their pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system has always been good for back pain relief.
The problem with Simmons is that it isn't very strong or long lasting, even under average body weight.
 
I have lots of back problems and my wife and I are about the same weight as you.
So, let me recommend to you, that which we sleep on at home.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses use the same coil system as Simmons....a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil.
The difference are:
1) The Greenspring models have a higher coil count.
2) The coils are stronger, made of double tempered steel. The Simmons coils are not tempered.
3) The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex. Simmons uses memory foam, which is purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
 
We have the Ultra Plush model, which is the most comfortable of their 4 models.
Because latex is far more resilient, the Ultra Plush model is not too soft.
We've had this mattress for 4 years, and it is still in like new condition.

These mattresses come with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Two Twin-XL beds to be used as one King Mattress.

Don writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We need two twin-xl beds to be used as one king mattress.
These are going into an attic bedroom. A one piece king won't fit up the extremely narrow staircase.
I am about 270 lbs and my wife is about 150 lbs.
What would you recommend that will hold up under my weight and still be comfortable?
Thanks, Don
 
Hi Don,
My wife and I are large people, so let me introduce you to the mattress we sleep on at home.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is extremely strong, with a comfortable sleeping surface that remains like new for many years.

A Two Sided, Flippable Mattress, Reasonably Priced, for Someone a Little Overweight.

Mary writes:
 
Hello Peter,
I'm looking for a two sided, flippable mattress....one that has a good 10 year warranty. I would like one with No memory foam. 
I don't like that sucking you into like quick sand  feel, and being unable to move. 
I need a mattress that will go onto a adjustable bed. 
I need inner coils that can hold up under a person who is a little overweight. 
I also want a mattress that you can't feel motion of the other person. 
Flippable would be wonderful. I like a mattress isn't over 12 inches thick. 
Can you help pick the right mattress ? 
PS. Reasonably priced! 
Thank you, Mary
 
 
Hi Mary,
I imagine that you've been having a very hard time finding such a mattress.
We have two mattress that fit that description.
The Brolynn Plush is the most popular of them. The Duo Comfort model is ideal for a guest room.
Here is a link to those mattresses:

Natura of Canada Greenspring or Simmons Beautyrest La Quinta Hotel Mattress.

Hi Pete,
I'm in the market for a new mattress.
Recently, I stayed at a La Quinta Hotel, where I slept better than I have in years. The mattress is a Simmons Beautyrest.
I'm  82 years old, 5'11" @ 230lbs. I'm disabled, but in good health.
I see you often recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring for larger people.
What is the difference between that and the Simmons Beautyrest? What do you recommend for me?
Thanks, Jerry
 
Hi Jerry,
I have two options for you.
Given your age, I believe it may be more important to focus on your comfort, than on the durability of the mattress.
The durability issue can't be totally disregarded, due to your size....but, it doesn't have to be so durable that it will sacrifice your comfort.
 
The two mattresses I'll be recommending, The Simmons Beautyrest and The Natura of Canada Greenspring, have the same coil system.
Both have the individually pocketed coils, which contour to your body and maintain the natural alignment of your spine.
It's THIS that made that hotel Simmons Beautyrest mattress so comfortable.
 
The Natura Greenspring is stronger. It has more and stronger coils than those used in the Simmons Beautyrest.
The Natura coils are made of double tempered steel, while the Simmons coils are not tempered, at all.
The upholstery material in the Simmons is primarily memory foam, which is a very poor performing product...short lived.
The upholstery material in the Natura Greenspring is primarily Natural Talalay Latex, which has been the best upholstery material since the 1920s.
 
Of the two, the Simmons Beautyrest has the greater degree of initial comfort....but loses that within a year or two.
The Natura Greenspring is initially firmer...and not likely to change at all, over the next several years.
 
However, both can be tweaked to your satisfaction.
The product that does this is a Natural Talalay Latex mattress topper.
Added to a luxury firm Simmons Beautyrest, it changes that mattress to one that will remain like new for several years.
The latex topper will absorb most of your body weight and insulate you from the memory foam in the mattress.
My wife and I have home tested this for 4 years and then gave it to our son and his wife, who are also heavy. 
After a good 7 years, now, that mattress is still in like new condition....thanks to the latex topper.
 
The Simmons Beautyrest/Latex topper combination will more mimic the feel of the mattress you enjoyed at the hotel.
And, It should last you for the rest of your life. This will, also, be the more expensive of the two options.
 
The Natura Greenspring will feel firmer. Adding the latex topper will soften it further, but will never feel as soft as the Beautyrest.
 
Here are links to the mattresses I'm recommending:
The Simmons Beautyrest Black Series Desiree in Luxury Firm, and The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush (The most comfortable of the 4 models).

Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

And a link to the latex toppers...The Pure Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex.

The Latex Topper arrives via UPS.
Both mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.
Delivery for everything is free and there's no sales tax.
 
Wait time for the Simmons mattress is approx 2 weeks.
Wait time for the Natura Greenspring mattress is approx. 4 weeks.
 
 
 
Thanks, Pete

An All Latex Mattress for Morbidly Obese People.

Hi Pete,

I'm hoping you can help me. From what I've read on your blog, I'm confident that you are among the few who can.
My wife and I are rather large people..."plus- size" is the gentle word for it. 
Morbidly obese would be a more accurate term for it.
We run between 350 and 400 pounds, fluctuating some, depending on which day we step on the scale.
We are in our late 30's with no real health problem, yet.
 
Our major problem is in finding a mattress that we don't have to replace every few months.
The sales people at the stores are always eager to claim that whatever mattress they want to sell, will do the job. 
They don't.
I now feel that every word that comes out of their mouths is nothing but lies. It's worse than buying a used car.
 
You've mentioned latex mattresses in some of your posts. 
And after reading about them on your website, I believe it's the way to go.
My question is, which one?
We would so appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks, Lawrence
 
 
Hi Lawrence,
I appreciate your vote of confidence. It's good that you've been reading, and you are certainly on the right track. 
Latex has been the most durable mattress material for the last 100 years. Nothing else comes close.
I have family in your weight range and they, too, have an all latex mattress.
Nothing else will do the job over the long term.
EverEden Latex Mattresses are made of Pure, All Natural Latex, which is the best on the market.
They are also and excellent value, due to being shipped via UPS.
Also, the EverEden Latex Mattresses are customizable, to suit any weight range.
I recommend their 8" model...consisting of a Firm 6" Vytex Dunlop Latex Core and a Medium 2" Vytex Dunlop Latex top layer.
The reason for this recommendation is purely for the sake of durability.
Your comfort is another issue. If you find yourselves comfortable on this the way it is, so much the better.
If, on the other hand, you need a softer sleeping surface, then it's better to achieve this with something that can be easily replaced without having to replace the whole mattress.
So, for the sake of added surface comfort, add an EverEden 2" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex topper.
I suggest waiting for the mattress to arrive before making that determination.
 
Here are links to the mattress and to the topper.

Stearns and Foster Terrace Room Rest Mattress for a Very Large, Very Heavy Man.

Karen writes:
 
Hi Pete,
Is there a mattress equivalent to the Stearns and Foster Terrace Room Rest  mattress even in a different brand?
This one was extremely firm and I can't seem to find anything like it anywhere.
It has to hold a very large, very heavy man.
Thanks, Karen
 
 
Hi Karen,
That S&F mattress is long discontinued, with nothing like is made by S&F today.
Now that Tempurpedic owns them, they have loaded everything they make with memory foam.
Memory foam is the poorest quality upholstery material on the market...despite all the hype to the contrary.
 
Your Terrace Room Rest is made of coils and poly foam upholstery...and was very firm.
I can go you one better...a mattress with more and stronger coils and latex upholstery.
Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material for the last 100 years...extremely resilient and much longer lasting.
The mattress is The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm...very similar in feel to what yours was initially...but will retain that feel longer.
Here is a link to that mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress to Relieve Back Pain and Be Comfortable Under a Large Woman.

Marilyn writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I've been reading your blog and have visited your website.
I'm very interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.
I'm a large woman with herniated discs in my back, which causes me constant pain. 
I want comfort and the ultra plush model sounds great, but I worry that it will be too soft.
Can you help me choose the Greenspring model that will relieve my back pain and be comfortable too?
Thanks, Marilyn
 
 
 
Hi Marilyn,
Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 
There’s a lot of information on that page and the subsequent pages for each of the 4 models. 
Since the quality of the components is so high, these mattresses are far more resilient than most other mattresses.
They are certainly much more durable than any of the name brands.
The consequence of this, is that all of them are firmer feeling than their name description indicates.
 
The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable of the 4 models.
In no way, can it be considered too soft...by anyone’s standards.
That’s the mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.
We are heavy people, about 225 lbs. a piece.
Our mattress is 3.5 years old and still in like new condition.
 
What’s more, I have numerous disc problems in my back.
Since sleeping on this mattress, I live without back pain.
 
White Glove Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Big Man.

Melony writes:
 
Hello, Pete,
As with all your readers, I need your advice! 
Only 2 years ago, we purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress. 
Although our friends encouraged us to "give it time", we just weren't patient enough for the mattress to break in. 
It remained so stiff for 3 weeks (and had my husband resorting to sleeping on the couch) before we had to return it. 
We swapped for a cheaper innerspring mattress which slept good for about a year before it had body impressions on both sides.
Of course, the impression is deeper on my 270 lb. husband's side. 
This has now caused painful sleeping and all-day soreness for us both. 
We just don't know what to pick now! Scared to go with memory foam again, but it's hard to find a mattress without it.
We need advice as to a good mattress the will hold a big man and be comfortable for a lot longer than a year. 
Thanks, Melony

Hi Melony,
Most of today's mattresses and all of the name brands that you used to be able to trust, are upholstered with memory foam.
None of them will wear well under normal body weight, let alone under a man as big as your husband.
My wife and I are big people and I have lots of disc damage in my back.
Thanks to the mattress we have now, I live without pain and there isn't so much as the slightest dent in the mattress after 3.5 years.
That Mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress, which is made in Quebec.
The coils are made of double tempered steel and the upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...containing NO Memory Foam.
The Ultra Plush model is what we have and is the most comfortable of the four models in that line of mattresses. 
Here is a link to those mattresses:

A Reasonably Priced Mattress for a Large Man.

Tiffany writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have a 20 year old son that needs a new mattress.  He is a large man- approximately 200 lbs.  
I can't afford an expensive mattress, but on the other hand, I don't want to be buying a new one in a couple of years.  
His room can only accommodate a full size mattress.  He spends a lot of time sitting on his bed, or laying in it to read.  
Any suggestions for a reasonably priced mattress that will last a while?
Do you deliver to Atlanta?
Thank You, Tiffany

 

Hi Tiffany,
We carry an old fashioned two sided mattress that is ideal for your needs...well made and reasonably priced.
You'll have a choice between the Brolynn Plush or the versatility of the Duo-Comfort model, which is plush on one side and firm on the other.
You'll be happy with the performance and longevity of either one.
Here is a link to those mattresses:

Eclipse Medicoil Mattress with a Latex Topper For a Very Big Man.

Juan writes:
 
Hi Peter, 
We Purchased a mattress from you in 2012.
It was an Eclipse Medicoil Mattress with a latex topper.
Is there any chance that you still offer this mattress? We want to upgrade to a king size.
I'm a very big man, 6' 1" and weigh 430 lbs. with herniated discs.
My wife is 160 lbs., and loves the feel of this firm mattress and soft latex topper.
Thanks, Juan 
 
Good Morning Juan,
That mattress, you have, is no longer being made.
I’m happy to hear that it served you well.
 
What I can offer you, today, it a very high quality mattress...like the one we sleep on at home. 
It's made by Natura of Canada...their Greenspring mattress in Firm.
Shown here:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

The components of this mattress are of the highest quality.
The coil count is very high and the steel from which the coils are made, are twice tempered for greater durability.
The primary upholstery material is firm Talalay Latex.
You will still need a softer latex topper to go on it for surface comfort.
I suggest the PureBliss 2” Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Latex Mattress Topper
 
White Glove Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.


Thanks, Pete
