Simmons Beautyrest Extra Firm Mattress and 3" Plush Latex Topper for Scoliosis and Hip Pain.

Hi Pete,
My husband and I are looking to replace a (just) 4-year-old queen Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress. 
We're VERY disappointed in it's fast depressions and sagging, and we both suffer misery nightly.
It gives me pressure point, hips and shoulder pain and numbness in my arm. 
My husband is suffering with general, overall soreness.  
We've always had Cushion Firm mattresses. But, the last two we've had, have failed very quickly.
What you say, about the decline of quality in these mattresses, is very true.  
We're now better educated, thanks to you, and are so nonplussed about the idea of buying another typical innerspring mattress, and setting ourselves up for more early planned obsolescence.
 
I'm 55 years, 5'4" and about 140 pounds, and have had severe scoliosis since my teenage years.
I need the fusion surgery but have no plans to get it, ever.  I'm a side and stomach sleeper.
My husband is 53 years, 5'9" and about 170 pounds.  Side and back sleeper.  No health problems.  Snores!  :)
 
I don't know that we can afford an all-latex mattress...or if that would be the best thing for my scoliosis.  
After reading your site and blog, I'm wondering if the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm with a Pure Bliss Plush latex topper would be ideal...or if the Extra Firm would be better...or what?  
I just keep thinking about my pressure points, which make my legs ache for hours after I get up.  
And for the topper, would 2" or 3" inches be better?  
Oh the choices.  My head spins.  I'd be so grateful for your help!
Many thanks, Lisa
 
 
Hi Lisa,
That you've been reading is extremely helpful to both of us.
In doing so, you now have a handle on what it is you should have and why.
The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove is an ideal choice.
The individually pocketed coils provide firm support that maintains the natural alignment of your spine.
The extra firm model, for a side sleeping female, will apply too much pressure on your hip. 
However, the extra firm will be better for your severe scoliosis.
Using a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper will offset the pressure at the hip.
Together, both of your issues will be addressed.
Here are links to both.

Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.
The Latex Topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free, for both, and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.
Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.

Replacing a 20 Year Old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Opal Mattress.

Tina writes:
 
Hello Peter,
My husband and I are in the market for a new mattress.  
We have had a queen sized Simmons Beautyrest World Class Opal for about 20 years, and have loved it.
And while it has served us well, it's time to replace it. 
However, since I mostly sleep on my side, I want to avoid pressure point discomfort.  
We have been looking at the Simmons Beautyrest Black. Any recommendations?  
Thanks, Tina  
 
Hi Tina,
It's natural fo you to look for another Simmons Beautyrest, based on your current experience.
However, much has changed since you bought the World Class Opal.
Your mattress is upholstered with polyurethane foam and has a layer of latex foam rubber.
 
Simmons has been sold to investors, who now use memory foam upholstery.
The purpose of using memory foam, is to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.
If you buy a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, today, you'll be lucky to get only a few years out of it.
All of the name brands have been sold and are upholstered with memory foam.
Today, it's no longer about quality....just profit.
 
To buy a mattress that will give you a similar experience, I recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring.
My wife and I have been sleeping on the Ultra Plush model for years. It provides firm support and is quite comfy.
And, despite our heavier body weights, our mattress remains in like new condition.
Here is a link to that line of mattresses:
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

 

These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 
 
 
 
VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.
Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.

In Need of King Size Mattress Like the Westin Heavenly Bed.

Wendy writes:
 
Hello Pete,
My husband and I had slept beautifully on a queen size Westin heavenly bed for over 10 years. 
I was in need of replacing and we wanted to switch to to king size which we did maybe 4 years ago.
 
We ordered a king size Heavenly bed, which began to sag badly after about six months. 
They replaced it and the same thing happened, so we bought a different mattress, and now, a year and a half later, it is very saggy.
It is causing low back pain, and pain in the hips and shoulders from pressure.  
 
My husband and I are both side sleepers, and he weighs about 160 pounds and I weigh about 120 pounds. 
We were surprised our mattresses have not lasted long. The quality isn’t what it used to be. 
 
What are your recommendations for us as far as mattress, base support and any toppers.
Thanks, Wendy
 
 
 
Hi Wendy,
The Westin Heavenly Bed is a Simmons Beautyrest.
Your original mattress had no memory foam in it.
It was upholstered with polyurethane foam and maybe some latex.

Today, all Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented...purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

It’s not an overall reduction in quality...just that one component that has caused the problems you’ve encountered...along with so many other people.

It is the pre-compressed, individually pocketed coils that provides great support.
I have two recommendations for you.

1) A Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm Mattress and a Latex Topper to go on it.
The latex topper will insulate you from the memory foam and cause the mattress to remain like new for many years.
Add a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" or 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Here are the links for both products.
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper


2) A Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
This uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest.
The number of coils is greater and the coils are stronger.
Also, the upholstery material is natural Talalay Latex and contains no memory foam.
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
We have this mattress at home.
And despite us being much heavier than either of you, our mattress remains in like new condition, without so much as a dent in it, after the 4 years we’ve had it.
Here’s a link to that mattress.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1


Either way, the mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

Thanks, Pete
 
****************************************************************
 
Hi Pete,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. 
We were also looking at the Wolf Two Sided mattresses.
They can be flipped and turned and set on a foundation, not requiring a box spring.
And, using a topper that can be changed out over the years, will make it less expensive. 
I think we are feeling wary of the one sided plush mattresses. 
Also, the Wolf Two Sided Mattresses, have a good number of pocketed springs. 
How does is compare to the Beautyrest?
Thanks for your help,
Wendy
 
Hi Wendy,
The Wolf Two Sided Mattress is a good choice for your weights.
Brolynn close up
Brolynn close up


Compared to the Beautyrests, the Wolf coils are tempered. Simmons does not temper their coils.
And the upholstery is plant based poly foam...NO Memory Foam 

Also, the Wolf mattresses are shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed.
They ship via UPS...dropped off at the front door.
They don’t offer white glove delivery service.

If you’re ok with that, you’ll be happy with the years of service it provides.
 
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.

A Mattress and Pillow for a Big Man to Relieve Neck and Shoulder Pain.

Ed writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I've had pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder and numbness from my elbow to pinky finger for some time. 
I went to the Dr. and I have a bulging disc. I know it is from sleeping on my side while in my bed. 
When I sleep on the sofa, I stay on my back and the pain and numbness is reduced. 
I'm a big man, 6'1" 260 lbs. and 38 y.o. with no other physical damage. 
After researching and trying so many models, I'm focusing on an all latex mattress.

I noticed on the blog, several mentions of an innerspring mattress with a Talalay latex topper.
Does this work with an adjustable bed base, are adjustable beds worth the money?
I sleep hot and want to protect my investment. 
Reviews show that many mattress protectors sleeps hot, regardless of mfg. hype to the contrary. 
 
I need a recommendation for a mattress, a pillow and a mattress protector.
Thanks, Ed
 
Hi Ed,
First off, an all latex mattress is not recommended under these circumstances.
An all foam mattress, even with latex being the best of them, do not provide the pushback support your back requires.
Without the proper support, that bulging disc will herniate...making you back condition much worse.
I recommend a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system for the best type of support for you.
Given your size and all of your other ailments, the mattress I recommend for you is:
The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm.
A link to that mattress, shown here:
0003212_simmons-beautyrest-black-2016-desiree-luxury-firm
 
Add to that, a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.
This latex topper, in combination with the individually pocketed coils in the mattress, will do a fine job of relieving your shoulder pain.
A link to the latex topper, shown here:
Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
The pillow that does the best job of relieving chronic neck pain, is the Latex/Down Pillow from Pure Talalay Bliss.
This mattress is made of 100% finely chopped latex, which allows you to manipulate the materials, as you can with a Down Pillow. 
Hence, the name.
You can fit the pillow around your head and neck anyway you like to relieve the pressure and pain.
Besides all that, latex pillows remain like new for years...unlike most other types of pillows.
Here is a link to that pillow:

 
Finally, this mattress protector is made of organic cotton. It does sleep cool. We use it at home.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5

 

The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper and pillow arrive via UPS.

The mattress protector arrives via FedEx.

Delivery is free for all products, and there's no sales tax.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Where Can I Buy a Natural Talalay Latex Mattress?

Hi Pete,
Where can I buy a Natural Talalay Latex mattress?
I went to Macy's to buy a S&F mattress, costing almost $3,000. 
I didn't finalized the purchase because I wasn't sure if it had memory foam and other chemicals in the mattress. 
The organic mattress, I have, is killing me every day. I wake up with the pain and I feel sick.  
What would you recommend?  
Thank you, Rita 
 
 
Hi Rita,
Memory foam is the worst material ever invented for use in a mattress....and S&F uses plenty of it, now that they are owned by Tempurpedic.
Natural Latex is and has been the best material for the past 100 years.
You can buy one through us. Natura of Canada makes a very nice Talalay Latex line of mattresses. 
I recommend the Bourdolay Plush model...Shown here:
Natura Bourdolay Latex Mattress

 

This mattress comes 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.

Mattress Recommendation for a 300 lb. Man with Back Pain and a 130 lb. Wife.

Jim writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I need a mattress recommendation for a 300 lb. man with back pain, and my 130 lb. wife. 
She likes a softer feel, but those don't hold up under my weight.
What do you have that will be strong enough for me and comfortable enough for her?
Thanks, Jim
 
Hi Jim,
The strongest mattress we have is the Natura of Canada Greenspring.
Of the 4 models, I’d suggest the Plush, which isn’t as soft as it sounds.
Add to that, a Pure Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Here are the link to those products.
Liberta-mattress-on-a-10in-Organic-foundation-with-Organic-pillows-1

Pure Talalay Bliss Mattress Topper
I chose the plush model for you, because of your pressure point pain.
My wife and I, each about 225 lbs., have the Ultra Plush model.
It’s now 4 years old and still in like new condition.
 
I have lots of disc damage in my back.
Thanks to this mattress, I sleep and wake without pain.
 
This sleep system combination will support you well, and be comfortable enough for her.
In a few years, or so, all you'll replace is the latex topper...and not the mattress.
This is the most cost effective way to get everything you need.
Rotating the mattress on a regular basis will maximize the life of these products.
 
The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free for both, and there’s no sales tax.

Two Sided Flippable Innerspring Mattress with a Bonnell Coil.

Jennifer writes:
 
Hi Pete, 
I am looking for a mattress option that I’m wondering if it even exists anymore. 
I want a two sided, flippable innerspring mattress, but a bonnell coil system, not individual pocketed coils. 
I’ve had a Simmons for over a decade that has the pocket coils, and I feel like they lost their shape not long after I got the mattress. 
This one replaced an over 20+ year old Sealy that was flippable, which my parents still have and I still sleep on at their house. 
The Wolf mattresses, available on your site, say they have pocketed coils. 
Do you know of any brands that still make the older innerspring kind?
Thanks, Jennifer 
 
 
Hi Jennifer,
The Bonnell coil has disappeared, over the years.
Wolf was one of the last manufacturers that had one.
 
One thing to consider is that the coils used by Simmons are made of raw steel.
They tend to lose their support rather quickly because of this.
Unlike Simmons, the Wolf pocketed coils are made of tempered steel.
Tempering causes the steel to be far more resilient than raw steel.
Wolf Brolynn Two-sided Mattress

The Bonnell coils fell out of favor because they contributed to pressure point pain.
The pocketed coils relieve that.
You'll find the Wolf Two Sided Mattresses will hold up much better than your Simmons Beautyrest did.
 
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.


Thanks, Pete

Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain After Multiple Mattresses. Please Help!

Kate writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We are in need a of new mattress. 
We have been through multiple mattresses over the past several years. 
I like to fall asleep on my side but often wake up laying on my back.  My husband is a side/back sleeper. 
I am 5'5" @ 130 lbs. My husband is 5'10" @ 175 Lbs.
 
We stayed at my parents for 3-4 days and I slept in their guest bedroom which has an old Simmons Beautyrest mattress.
I had NO pain at all in my neck, back or shoulders. 
So we are trying to figure out what mattress and/or topper would help us.  
I go to a chiropractor, as well as the massage therapist, to get the knots out of my shoulders, upper back and neck. 
 
I sit at a computer for work and am sure that is what contributes to my issues. 
If I could get a good night sleep, that may help with the daily wear. 
I use ice, heat and ortho oil to help with the pain. I wake up with pain. 
I want to be able to sleep well and give my muscles and joints a break. 
Please help! 
Thanks, Kate


Hi Kate,
Spinal alignment, pressure point relief and muscle relaxation are key to a good night's sleep.
Everything you've tried and almost everything out there is geared to providing these things for far too short a time.
Now, I will show you how to get all that and have it last for many years.
 
You were on the right track with the Beautyrest. But, your parents' mattress is old, and Beautyrests aren't made as well today.
Today, they are all upholstered with memory foam, which is designed to cause frequent replacing.
The key to longevity is a latex topper. Latex is and has been the very best upholstery material for nearly a century.
Adding a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper to a Luxury Firm Simmons Beautyrest mattress will provide longevity that the mattress alone does not have.
 
The Beautyrest mattresses use individually pocketed coils that move independently from one another. 
(Few other pocketed coil systems offer this kind of independent movement of the coils).
Simmons pioneered this technology and it has remained the best of them since the 1920s.
 
It's the independent movement of the coils that provides contouring support that maintains proper spinal alignment.
It's the Natural Talalay Latex Topper that provides surface comfort which will remain like new for many years...and resists body impressions.
 
At your sizes, I recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm.
Shown here:
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300

Add to that, a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper, which will relieve your pressure points and relax your muscles.
Together, they provide an excellent night's sleep that will relieve your pain, night after night, and for many years to come.
Shown here:
Topper_Black

Aligning your head and neck with your spine is key to relieving neck pain.
Down pillows do a good job of that, but for as long as they last. But, they tend to flatten out rather quickly.
Instead, use a pillow made of finely chopped latex. 
The latex will last a very long time and the finely chopped latex will behave as a down pillow does.
The all-natural Latex/Down pillow, shown here, will do the job of relieving neck pain on a long term basis.
Shown here:

 
High quality bedding products are an investment in your quality of life...a direct result of a good night's sleep.
The one thing that reduces performance and longevity, more than any other thing, is moisture. 
The greatest and most common source of moisture, is perspiration.
Over the course of a night's sleep, you perspire quite a lot. 
You need to keep that perspiration from penetrating the mattress.
Any while there are plenty of waterproof mattress protectors on the market, almost all of them cause you to sleep hot.
We have available, an all natural, organic waterproof mattress protector that truly sleeps cool.
Here is is link to that item.
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5

These items, purchased once, will put an end to your revolving door mattress buying for, at least, the next decade.


The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes Removal of your Old Mattress.
The Latex Topper, Pillow and mattress protector arrive via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Question about Latex Foam Mattress Toppers.

Kay writes:
 
Hello Peter,
I found your website and I have a question about latex foam mattress toppers
Can a topper help with neck, shoulder and hip pain? 
I'm a retired police officer this lots of injuries through the years.
What do you suggest?
Thank you, Kay


Hi Kay,
Only latex foam toppers provide long term solutions.
More specifically, The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper does the best job of relieving pain from pressure points.
This latex is made by Latex International in Connecticut....finished and sold by EverEden in Massachusetts.
Here is a link where you can buy one.

Neck pain is best addressed with a pillow.
I've been using a pillow that was introduced a few years ago. 
It has worked wonders on relieving my chronic neck pain, which I had suffered with for years.
Here is a link to that pillow....the Latex/Down model...also made by Latex International.

Memory Foam Mattress or Topper for Spinal Stenosis

Brian writes:
Questions
 
Hi Pete, 
My brother, who is 73 years old, has severe spinal stenosis and I would Like to recommend one of your mattresses or memory foam toppers. 
From research I have learned that, generally, memory foam mattresses are able to reduce pressure points.
They are better than any other types of mattresses, according to the American Sleep Association. 
According to them, you want to stray from innerspring mattress, if you want to give your body proper back support.  
Could you, please, let me know your recommendations. 
I look forward to your response.
Cheers, Brian
 
 
Hi Brian,
What you've learned is how to make the sale. The information you have is sales hype...and completely opposite of the truth.
 
The mattress industry has gone from concerning itself with making quality products, to maximizing profit. Memory foam is what they use for that.
The American Sleep Association is either corrupt, or clueless.
I do know that the people at Consumer Reports are clueless...and not, likely, corrupt.
It hardly matters, since the same bad information is the same from both.
 
Memory foam is 15-20 years old. In that time, it has proven to be the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.
Memory Foam is the only upholstery material that is temperature sensitive...softening as it warms from your body heat.
As it softens, you sink into it. Memory foam isn't very resilient to start with, so within a couple/few months, you're sinking through it....
...at which time, it has lost all support and comfort.
 
I remember the first commercials for it, all those years ago, where a hand was pressed into the memory foam and removed, to show a hand print that lingered.
I remember thinking, "Who, in their right mind, would think that's a good idea?".
Well, like they say, tell a lie often enough, and it's perceived as true.
The tremendous amount of advertising and all of the sales hype, is what has created the demand for something that is nothing but pure junk. 
 
As if being a lousy product isn't bad enough, memory foam also creates a health hazard...off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it's made.
 
 
At this point, in our relationship, I have, either, gotten through to you...or, you figure I don't know what I'm talking about...
...since my advice is opposite to the misinformation you've received, thus far.
If the later, go your own way and I wish you luck. You're going to need it.
If the former, I'll need to know your brother's size...(height and weight)...in order to offer an appropriate recommendation.
Thanks, Pete
