A Big Man Uncomfortable, Sore and Stiff Waking up on a Nectar Mattress

Seth writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I'm a big man, 6'0", 315lbs., and I sleep very hot and usually on my stomach. 
I have 10% disability for both shoulders from the military along with lower back issues. 
I'm looking for help finding a mattress as I'm uncomfortable all the time and waking up sore and stiff.
I currently have a Nectar mattress. 
I cannot sleep on my stomach because it puts too much pressure on my shoulders and lower back. 
I feel like I get stuck in certain positions and sleep way to hot. 
I've read some of your replies to others about memory foam being hot and that maybe a latex topper would help. 
I'm ready for something different though.
I just stayed in a Holiday Inn Express that was recently updated. 
I laid down and almost fell asleep on my back which never happens. 
I was so comfortable and didn't toss and turn all night. 
Unfortunately, from reading your replies to other customers the mattress they use can only be bought by a hotel. 
Is there a mattress similar to the "Simmons Beautyrest" I can buy?
Thank You, Seth
Hi Seth,
Not only similar, but better as well.
Simmons Beautyrest mattresses made for retail are upholstered with memory foam.
For hotels, the upholstery is polyurethane.
And, the steel used to make their coils are not tempered.
Even a hotel grade Beautyrest mattress won’t wear well under your weight.
 
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are similar to the Simmons Beautyrest, in that, they both use an individually pocketed coil unit.
The Natura Greenspring mattresses are better.
The steel used to make the coils is double tempered.
The upholstery is latex and poly foams.
 
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
Only memory foam sleeps hot and it wears quickly.
 
Due the high quality of the components, the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are firmer than they sound.
Given that you preferred sleeping position is on your stomach, I recommend the “Plush” model.
Here is a link to that line of mattresses:

These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress set and all packaging materials.

Closest Match to an Old Simmons Beautyrest Mattress for a Big Guy.

 
Spencer writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We have an older Simmons Beautyrest World Class plush mattress. 
We currently have a queen size and would like your advice on upgrading to a king. 
I read a couple of comments about the Natura Canadian mattresses, and also the Wolf mattresses. 
We love the feel of our old Beautyrest so whatever you think would be the closest match would be great. 
I am a big guy, weighing approximately 240 pounds. 
Thanks, Spencer
 
Hi Spencer,
Your size is the determining factor when choosing between Wolf and Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses.
My wife and I are large people. Each of us top 200 lbs.
We have the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
It’s more than 5 years old and still in like new condition.
What’s more, this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain, despite me having a very bad back.
 
There’s no question, it’s the mattress for you.
The coil system is the same as in your Beautyrest, with a higher coil count, stronger coils and higher grade upholstery...natural Talalay Latex.
Here’s a link to that mattress:

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.

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.

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.

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.
