A Motion Reducing Mattress for R.A., Fibromyalgia, Neck Pain.

Susan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need some mattress advice. I have RA, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. I tend to have severe hip pain and knee pain during a flare-up. 

I can experience so much pain in bed that I spend the entire night changing position, trying to relieve the pain from contact with the mattress. 

My husband has neck pain from deterioration of cartilage.  The mattress we have now, is a Sealy Posturpedic Luxury Firm, two sided mattress. 

We've had it for quite a few years and have loved it. We rotated and flipped it for even wear. 

It was very firm, but now, every time you move, it bothers the other person and isn't as supportive. 

It is a queen, but we are moving up to a king. 

My husband is six feet tall and around 205 pounds. I am 5 ft. 3 in. and 165 pounds. 

We both like a firm bed and would appreciate a recommendation from you. 

Thanks, Susan

 

Hi Susan,

The interlocking coils of your Posturepedic provides a more rigid base support. Besides feeling each other move, it's also aggravating your RA and Fibro.

Switch to a Simmons Beautyrest, which has an individually pocketed coil unit. 

The coils move independently from one another, providing a more contouring support. 

This will ease your pressure point at the hip and offer some relief for you and eliminate the motion transfer that disturbs your husband.

For the additional surface softness, that your conditions require, add a 2" soft Talalay latex topper to the mattress. 

Latex, besides being extremely comfortable, is also the most resilient upholstery material available.

You'll end up with good firm support and excellent surface softness that won't break down the way a soft mattress will, under your husband's size.

I also have a latex/down pillow that works wonders on severe neck pain.

The mattress I'm recommending is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm.

Here are links to that mattress, the Pure Bliss latex topper and the Pure Bliss pillow to relieve your husband's neck pain.

Pure Bliss Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

Jane writes:

Hi Pete,

I need a latex topper for my mattress at home that's just too firm.

I'm familiar with the Pure Bliss Talalay latex toppers, as I have one in a a guest, which my guests just love.

Unfortunately, it's the wrong size for my master bedroom mattress.

Can you send me the link for that latex topper, so I can buy one for my bed?

Thanks, Jane

 

Hi Jane,

Pure Talalay Bliss makes a Talalay Latex Topper that everyone loves.

It comes finished in a beautiful fabric.

A Mattress to Relieve Back Pain due to Herniated Discs.

Andy writes:

Hi Pete,

I'm an older fellow and weigh about 200 lbs. I have lots of disc problems, including herniated discs.

My wife and I have been through a few different mattresses in recent years, with no relief for my back pain.

I need better support and longevity. And after having read some of your information, online, you seem to be the person to ask for a recommendation.

I also have chronic neck pain, and could use a recommendation for a pillow.

I'm interested in anything you have that will help me.

Thanks, Andy 

 

 

Hi Andy,

Herniated and bulging discs, along with degenerative disc disease, is something I’ve had for more than 16 years.

What I’ve learned is that the pushback support of an innerspring mattress, that holds those worn disc up and in place...and keeping your spine in its natural alignment are the keys to living without pain. 

Specifically, sleeping and waking without pain. 

The day’s activities can cause pain, but it’s pain that goes away with the right mattress.

We’ve home tested several different types of mattresses, including an all latex mattress.

The best we’ve tested is the one we have now, which is more than 3 years old.

After those 3+ years, the mattress is still in like new condition...with each of us in the 225 lb. weight range.

 

The coils are pre-compressed, individually pocketed...all moving independently from one another, which maintains the spine’s natural alignment and providing that pushback support. What more, the upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...containing No Memory Foam.

The same principle applies to neck pain...maintaining its natural alignment.

The Pure Talalay Bliss Latex/Down Pillow is filled with finely chopped latex.

This allows you to manipulate the material inside to fit around your head and neck to achieve that alignment.

I have arthritis on the left side of my neck and lived with the pain for many years.

This pillow put an end to the pain.

The Silver Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector from Danican is the best I’ve found.

It sleeps cool, is generously cut and doesn’t shrink.

Pure Talalay Bliss 3” Plush Active Fusion Latex Topper.

Rich writes:

 

Hello Pete, 

I'm looking for a little more info on the Pure Talalay Bliss , Active Fusion latex topper.  

Can you tell me which of the firmness levels you sell?  I see that the manufacturer offers 2 firmness levels Plush or Firm.  

I'd like the one that's closest to the feel of their Beautiful mattress, if possible.  

Also, can I expect any different wear out of either of them?  I would think the softer one would wear down faster.

Thanks, Rich

 

 

 Hi Rich,

You are correct. As a matter of simple physics, the Firm wears slower than the Plush.

However, we’re talking about natural latex.

Latex is extremely resilient. Even the plush model remains like new for many years...lasting for decades, all in all.

It’s the plush model you’ll want for comfort.

The Firm is not, at all, comfortable. 

The purpose of the firm model is to add support, if that’s what you need...not comfort.

Mattress Recommendation for a Heavy Person.

Dan writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

What mattress would you recommend for me?

I like a very firm mattress, with no pillow top.

I'm a side sleeper who is a heavy person.

Thanks, Dan

 

Hi Dan,

The most comfortable mattress that will relieve pressure points at the shoulder and hip, for a side sleeper, is all latex.

Latex is extremely comfortable and equally resilient....ideal for a large person.

We carry a number of brands: Pure Talalay Bliss, Natura, EverEden, PalmPring.

All are natural and some are organic.

Here is a link where you can view all of them.

Would I need a Latex Topper with the Wolf Brolynn Plush mattress?

Hi Marcey,

Many mattresses need a latex topper for the sake of longevity.

The Wolf Brolynn mattress does not.

However, you can add a latex topper if you're looking for a more luxurious surface feel.

I use one at home. It does a great job of relieving my pain, caused by the arthritis on the left side of my neck.

We recommended and sold many of these pillows...all with similar results.

That would be the 2nd pillow on this next link, called Talalay/Down, made by Pure Bliss.

Sealy Venice Beach Reflexion Latex Mattress Needs Replacing.

Stan writes:

 

Hi Pete.

I read much of your info last night, that we’re off the memory foam idea. Thanks for the warning.

 

According to what I've read on your blog, my Venice Beach “latex” failed because it really wasn’t 100%  latex.

The non latex material, (the poly foam), is what failed over time. 

So as I look at latex moving forward, I’m locked in to 100% latex product like Pure Talalay Latex Bliss or Natura or EverEden.

 

That raises the question of 100% organic, pure latex or a blend of pure/synthetic latex. 

Also, the Dunlop process vs. Talalay...Should I be concerned about a blended product relative to durability? 

I read conflicting material about one being stronger than the other. Or, are we splitting hairs at this point?

 

Thanks for your time, Stan

 

 

Hi Stan,

That's right. It was the poly foam used to soften the top of the Venice Beach that compressed.

When it comes to latex, there are a few different ones and some need to be avoided.

Whatever anyone is selling, it's the best....making an objective viewpoint hard to come by.

 

The original and still the most durable, is Dunlop. 

The Talalay process is the same as the Dunlop, with a freezing step added to the process. 

This freezing step suspends the particles, making for a more supple feel.

The particles settle in the Dunlop process, making for a more dense material.

 

Synthetic latex is a molecular clone of natural latex. No toxic chemicals are used to make it.

 

Mixing synthetic to natural latex, makes the end result more consistent, while the feel of all natural latex can vary from batch to batch.

However, synthetic latex is not as durable as natural latex...but, the difference is small.

Those would be from Pure Talalay Bliss.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/pure-latexbliss/

Talalay Bliss Natural Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com Pure Talalay Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Mattresses provide excellent long lasting support comfort.

During the process of turning liquid latex into foam, it goes through a 5 stage washing, which removes most of the protein, the allergen, that is naturally found in latex and is common in latex gloves and bandages. This, typically, manifests itself as a topical allergy. The finished product has enough of the allergen removed to be called hypo-allergenic.

 

We offer latex that is certified to be completely allergen free....Vytex Dunlop Latex...used in the EverEden Latex Mattresses.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

 

Pure, All Natural Latex, in and of itself, is organic.

What makes a latex mattress organic, is the other materials used to finish the mattress...like the cotton cover and the wool used as a natural flame retardant. The cotton must be organically grown and the wool must come from sheep that are fed an organic diet.

It's these details that make an organic latex mattress so expensive...like the Natura of Canada Organic Latex Mattresses, shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-organic-mattresses/

Natura Organic Mattresses & Foundation For Sale | The ... themattressexpert.com The natural solution to healthy sleep is with Natura Organic Mattresses and Foundations. The Mattress Expert Now Ships to Canada!

 

In a way, this can be considered splitting hairs, as any of these latex mattresses are infinitely better than any poly foam or memory foam.

All of the above perform equally well and are extremely durable.

The exception to all this, is latex made in China, where they add clay as a filler...still sold as natural, as clay is a natural material.

The clay makes it cheaper to make and greatly affects the longevity...not lasting nearly as long.

 

 

All of your options come with free delivery and no sales tax.

Pure Bliss Latex Hybrid Mattress.

Nancy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just noticed that the Pure LatexBLISS latex foam hybrid models are no longer shown on your site. 

Does this mean you are no longer selling them? 

Thanks, Nancy

 

Hi Nancy,

Pure Talalay Bliss has discontinued their hybrid latex line.

I have two other brands of latex hybrid mattresses available. 

From EverEden...Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

The EverEden mattresses arrive via UPS.

The Natura mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

In both cases, delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

 

ALSO IMPORTANT:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.
