A Mattress for Heavy People.

Michelle writes:

 

Hi Pete,

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

We are heavy people. I am 5'5",  245 lbs and a side sleeper. 

My husband is 6'6", 340 lbs and sleeps mostly on his back but sometimes on his side. 

He has been tossing and turning quite a bit lately. 

He also has a bulged disc in his lower back. 

We prefer a firmer mattress. 

Thanks for your help!

Michelle

A Mattress for Plus Size People. Back, Hip pain, Herniated Disc, Arthritis.

Sarah writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I recently found your website while researching mattress for plus size people. 

My husband and I are looking for a new king size mattress and are unsure of what to buy. 

We are both large people, 250-300 lbs each. 

My husband is a side sleeper and has back issues (herniated disc and arthritis). 

He tosses and turns a lot, finding it hard to get comfortable, saying his hips bother him. 

I am a stomach sleeper and find I get hot while sleeping. 

We currently have a one year old king size mattress from IKEA. 

We, definitely, need something more supportive, since it already has body impression.

I'm hoping you can help.

Sincerely,  Sarah

 

Hi Sarah,

The culprit in your mattress is memory foam.

Memory foam is the cause of your sleeping hot and the reason for your husband's back and hip pain.

Most of today's beds use memory foam to enhance profits. It is a poor quality product,

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing under average body weight.

Given your sizes and husband's herniated disc, I suggest The Natura of Canada Greenspring.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Pocketed Coil and Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert The Natura GreenSpring series combines the natural elements commonly found in Natura, such as wool and latex, but it has a specially designed pocketed coil system to provide your body with extra support. themattressexpert.com

 

To best accommodate both, your weights and his arthritis, I recommend the Firm model and adding to that:

A Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Latex is the highest quality upholstery material available. (Most Comfortable & Longest Lasting).

Because of your weights, it will be less expensive over the years, to replace the latex topper when needed.

In doing so, you will not have to replace the mattress.

You will save money in the long run, costing you a whole lot less per year.

 

The mattress comes with white glove delivery...set-up on your frame, and your old mattress removed.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

A Mattress that will Hold Up Under 275 Lbs and Relieve Back and Hip Pain.

Adele writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm 6' tall and weigh 275 lbs.  

I have severe back and hip pain. 

I am looking for a supportive mattress to fit my needs.

I have no budget limit.

I simply want a mattress that will hold up under my weight and be comfortable for many years.

I've tried several name brand mattresses, over the last 10 years. All have failed to do the job for more than 1 year.

Thanks, Adele

 

Hi Adele,

The problem you've been having, finding a mattress that will hold up, is the memory foam upholstery.

All of the name brands have been sold to investors.

Memory foam is used to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing, under average body weight.

You can no longer trust the name brands for the quality mattresses the had made in the past.

Today, with their new owners, it's all about profit and not at all about quality.

 

The millions of dollars spent advertising these mattresses, could have been spent to make them better.

But their business model is to sell more mattresses, more frequently to the same people.

They no longer want to wait 10-20 years in between sales. 

So, they spend money to hype their low quality...essentially, choosing to lie about it.

 

In the face of all of this, which began about 10-15 years ago, The Mattress Expert refused to go along.

Instead, we went shopping at the industry trade shows for high quality alternatives.

There, we found several brands...old, lesser known brands...still using high quality components.

 

What I recommend for you, is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

We are also heavy people, with me having lots of back problems and my wife having a sore hip.

We both sleep and wake without pain, and after 4.5 years on this mattress, it's still in like new condition.

 

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

There are 4 models in this line, with the Ultra Plush model being the most comfortable of them.

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

 

These strong, individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that maintains the spine's natural alignment.    

What's more, the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. (Most comfort and most durable).

You will enjoy this mattress for many years.

 

Here are links to that line of mattresses, and to the Ultra Plush model.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Large People.

Brenda writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I was hoping you could help my husband and me pick out the perfect mattress for us. 

First off we already have the forever foundation max for an eastern king, so I would only need the mattress. 

We are large people. I am about 260 lbs and he is about 280 lbs. 

I have problems with my lower back and neck pain, and he has diabetes. 

We both sleep on our sides the most, but he tends to roll on his back, and me on my stomach. 

The bed I currently have we've owned for just over 2 years. 

It sags on his side where his bottom goes. 

What mattress would you recommend for us?

Thank you, Brenda 

 

Hi Brenda,

 

My wife and I are large people, as well.

The mattress we have is more than 4 years old and still in like new condition.

The quality of the components is very high, which translates into a high quality mattress.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush is the mattress we use, at home.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Bigger Guy?

James writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am purchasing a mattress for the first time.

I've always slept on mattresses which were hand me downs from family and such. 

The last new mattress that my parents bought me, ended up causing me a lot of back pain. 

It developed a large "dent" in the middle of the bed where I slept after only 2 years or so.

 

I am a bigger guy, 5'11 and 220 lbs. 

I saw, on your blog, that you recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring to bigger people. 

Would that apply to me too? 

The price is just a bit out of my price range. 

I was hoping to spend $1,500, max, for a queen size mattress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in this matter. 

Thank you for your time, James

 

Hi James,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is the highest quality line of mattresses I could find at the industry trade show

It's what we sleep on at home. We, too, are large people. We have the Ultra Plush model.

However, I do have a lower cost alternative.

The best for the least, is an Old Fashion Two-Sided Mattress...The Brolynn Plush:

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

Wolf Double Sided Flippable Mattresses | The Mattress Expert Introducing the Duo-Comfort mattress, providing your customer with comfort options in one single mattress. The Duo-Comfort is a 11″ double-sided mattress that has a firm side and a plush side. themattressexpert.com

 

Even though the comfort designation is "plush", it's quite a bit firmer than other "plush" mattresses.

Add to that, a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

The latex will absorb your body weight, which will greatly extend the life of the mattress.

Plush Latex is extremely comfortable and remains like new for many years.

Together, they fall below your maximum budget.

A Mattress for a Considerably Overweight Female with RA and Fibromyalgia Pain.

Vanessa writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just came across your blog and website, and hope you can help me. 

I'm a 35 year old side sleeping female who is considerably overweight. I have RA and fibromyalgia. 

Also, I recently had a hysterectomy due to uterine cancer. 

I say all that so you get an idea of what kind of pain I'm dealing with. 

We currently have a pillowtop mattress that was given to us, a couple of years ago, by a family member. 

It's not nearly supportive enough. 

Can you recommend something that will give me a decent night's rest, and will last under my weight?

Thank you, Vanessa

 

Hi Vanessa,

My recommendation comes in 2 parts.

Part 1) A Mattress that is strong enough to last for many years under someone who is considerably overweight.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm is that mattress...shown here:

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

Part 2) A Latex Topper that will provide the surface comfort you need to cushion your RA and Fibromyalgia.

The Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is that product....shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Together, they will provide you all the support and comfort your body's condition requires.

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

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

A Hybrid Mattress for 2 Very Large People?

Toni writes:

 

Hello Pete, 

My husband and I have moved into our very first home.

We are now faced with the issue of what mattress to purchase.

Previously, we were living in apts with furniture and bed was included. 

We are both, very large people, 300-350 each. 

We were thinking of a hybrid mattress with foam and gel, but not really sure what brand to get. 

Please help!! 

Thanks, Toni

 

Hi Toni, (My mother's nickname!)

I'm afraid that you're headed toward a huge mistake.

Memory foam, with or without gel, is the worst material ever invented for use in a mattress.

Nothing made by the name brands are designed to last an average weight consumer for more than a few years. 

At your sizes, you'll only get a fraction that.

 

The most durable upholstery material is latex...and has been the best you can buy for the last 100 years.

An all latex mattress will support you, be comfortable, and last for many years....even under your weights.

It really is the only type of mattress to consider, if you have any hope of getting your money's worth.

The Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush is the mattress I recommend for the two of you.

Here is a link to that mattress.

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

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Natura Bourdolay All Latex Mattress for Very Large People.

Debra writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have been reading the information about different mattresses on your website and blog. 

I have been considering the Simmons Beautyrest Black "L-Class" but now, I am not so sure.

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

We need a king Set. We are very large people. My husband is 6'3" and 300 lbs. I am 6' and 250 lbs. 

We are mostly side sleepers, but do sleep some on our backs.

Can you please recommend a mattress for us. 

I've also read about that mattress needing a Pure Bliss latex topper, and think this is also a good idea.

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Looking forward to your reply, so we can make a purchase.

Thank you, Debra 

 

Hi Debra,

The Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress and latex topper is an expensive option. 

The latex topper is an absolute must for any Simmons Beautyrest mattress...for the sake of durability.

The mattress, alone, won't keep its shape, comfort or support under even average body weight....let alone, yours.

 

There is an option that will work better for you, long term.

We have a daughter and son-in-law that match your sizes.

The mattress they have is the Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush all Latex Mattress.

Latex is far more resilient than the coils and upholstery used in that Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress.

They've had it a while, now, and absolutely love it. You and your husband will, as well...and for many years.

Natura Greenspring Mattress and Latex Topper for my 300 lb. daughter with Fibromyalgia and Back Pain.

Lydia writes:

Hi Pete,

I'm looking to purchase a queen mattress for my daughter who has fibromyalgia, back pain and weighs 300 lbs.

She is currently sleeping on a memory foam mattress on a platform bed, which is not helping her back issues.

I am leaning towards the Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm mattress and the 3” Pure Bliss Talalay latex topper.

Would you consider this the best purchase for her or can you make another recommendation. 

Thank you, Lydia

 

Hi Lydia,

The challenge is to have a sleep surface that is soft enough to reduce her fibro pain, and last under her size....

...as well as being strong enough to support her and her spine, size long term.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress and Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper will do both jobs well, for many years.  

Actually, for all of her circumstances, you can't do better than this sleep system combination.

Natura Bourdolay Natural Plush Latex to Replace a Sealy Memory Foam Mattress.

Cynthia writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a 355 lb woman. 

I replaced my coil mattress, approximately two years ago, with a Sealy memory foam mattress and an adjustable bed frame. 

As memory foam does it conformed to my body creating a mold and a significant indentation in my mattress. 

I now sleep at a slope which is uncomfortable and causes me severe knee pain each night. 

I was diagnosed, recently, with severe knee arthritis in both knees. 

I think the firmness of the foam is playing a role in aggravating the knee pain.
My most significant and ongoing concern is that I barely sleep each night. 

This has been going on for 2+ years, and I am physically exhausted.
I need a mattress that will support my weight and not cause a slope or hole. 

BUT, it must be soft enough not cause knee or hip pain because I sleep on my side. 

If I could use my adjustable bed frame with it that would be a plus. 

I have been looking at all types of reviews on the internet. 

You seemed the most thorough and intelligent. 

I saw a few different recommendations from you and would like to know what you think would be best for me. 

I just want to be able to sleep.
Thank you for your time.
Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,

The name brands, for the most part, have gone bad. What you bought is one of the worst mattresses made.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented for use in or as a mattress. 

It's pure junk and absolutely worthless....contrary to all the hype, ads, and sales pitches.

 

There are very few mattresses that will hold your weight for very long. 

The strongest, most durable and most comfortable, is an all latex mattress, made of Natural Talalay Latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material you can buy, anywhere on the planet, for the last 100 years.

An all latex mattress will also work well on your adjustable bed base.

The specific model latex mattress that I recommend for you, is the Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush.
