A Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Latex Topper to Relieve Sciatica and Back Pain.

Paul writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife carries all her stress in her neck and shoulders. 

She holds all her tension in that area and gets headaches and muscle tension in those areas. 

She is 5'3" and around 120-125 lbs

I have sciatic issues. When I first got out of the military, I could barely walk.. SI joint issues and lower back issues. 

I stay active focus on back exercises and stretches for sciatica, but I still have sore back and hip issues. 

I have neck issues but not as bad as my wife. I like a cool bed and don't really like being hot. 

I have disc degeneration in L4 and L5 but it's been a while since a flare up.. 

I am 5'8" 210 lbs. I've lost 15#, lately, and plan on another 20#

I have PTSD and TBI so I don't always sleep the greatest. 

But, I slept on a Simmons Beautyrest at a Holiday inn Express and had an awesome sleep on that bed. 

But, I've also read the reviews on those mattresses and they don't last very long. 

That's when I saw your review. 

Thanks, Paul

 

 

Good Morning Paul,

The reason why you sleep so well on a Simmons Beautyrest mattress is due to the pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system.

They use a 9” coil, compressed into a 7” pocket, so the coils are always pushing back against your spine.

The coils move independently from one another, providing contouring support that automatically adjusts to the shape of your body and maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

Worn discs pinch nerves, which is what causes your sciatica.

Having the vertebrae properly aligned is what keeps the nerves from being pinched.

 

The thing about the Simmons Beautyrest that causes them to perform so poorly is the memory foam upholstery. But that is easily overcome with a latex topper.

Latex is the best upholstery material and has been for the last 100 years.

Adding a layer of latex insulates you from the memory foam and provides longevity to a mattress that was, otherwise, designed to last only a short time.

 

The mattress to buy is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm.

Used together, the mattress will remain like new for many years.

And, that latex topper provides extraordinary surface comfort.

 

The other problems, your wife’s stress induced neck and shoulder pain, and your PTSD,

are not mattress related issues.

However, there is a way for you to address both of those problems.

Sit your wife in front of you and massage her neck and shoulders regularly.

 

Women, it seems to me, are easily stressed...fretting over all sorts of things.

And if PTSD can be soothed by petting an animal, logic dictates that massaging a woman’s body would enhance that effect.

Killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

 

We do carry a pillow that is most helpful for relieving chronic neck pain.

I must admit that it works better on neck pain caused by some sort of physical problem.

Stress is more mental.

Hip and Sciatica Pain on Memory Foam Mattresses. Natura of Canada Greenspring Relieves Pain.

Bruce writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife has M/S and pain sciatica Pain. We are on our 4th bed shopping experience. 

She gets also gets neck pain. she is a side sleeper. 

We have tried sleep number, tempurpedic, and a bamboo memory foam. We are now looking at a Sealy memory gel bed. 

Would you recommend this. We have an adjustable bed and the salesman told my wife to try to sleep in the zero gravity position at night. 

She tried that last night, and it didn't work out well.

I weigh 215 and 6 foot in height she is 5 feet 7 and had a titanium rod put in her hip after she broke it. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Bruce

 

Hi Bruce,

Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material. As it warms from your body's heat, it sinks. The underlying foam, that supports it, is stiff and hard.

Besides fighting that rod in her hip, it throws off the alignment of her spine, which isn't helping her sciatica any.

Memory foam is the absolute worst material ever invented for use in or as a mattress. Even your Sleep Number air mattress had memory foam inside.

Not to mention that an air mattress provides lousy support, all on it's own.

 

Have you noticed how hard memory foam sold...heavily advertised, and pushed by salespeople? 

You must have thought they had your best interest at heart. Why else would you continue to buy a product that doesn't work?!

You must not have, up till now, realized, that it's the memory foam causing her so much pain, or you wouldn't still be considering buying it again. 

 

You, your wife, your neighbor and his wife, the butcher around the corner and the secretary at your office, all have one thing in common....the human body.

Everyone's body is essentially the same, and just a little different. 

Good basic support and comfort is easy to address. It's in fitting all the small differences, that is the challenge. 

However, the same basic rules apply to all, to some degree. 

What every body needs is firm support and comfortable sleeping surface that allows for a greater depth of sleep.

I believe that all those memory foam salespeople have promised that to you...and you can see how poorly their advice has worked.

The purpose of memory foam is to make the sale. It's comfortable enough, initially...but not worth a damn before too long.

 

So, getting what you need isn't difficult. There are tons of mattresses that will provide you firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface. 

What you have difficulty finding, is a mattress with quality components, so that it will stay that way for a respectable period of time. 

In all facets of life, it is unreasonable to expect a different result from repeating the same behavior. 

If you like the way things are going, keep doing what you're doing. If not, you have to make a change.

In this case, the change is away from memory foam to latex. 

Latex is natural rubber and has been the best material available anywhere on the planet, for use in or as a mattress, for the past 100 years. 

This isn't just an opinion. It's a proven, undisputed fact. 

 

Your skeletal system needs firm support to maintain its alignment  

When you have back problems, you are more sensitive to the changes a mattress goes through as it wears. 

For you, a person without back problems, you are not affected by those changes. 

For your wife, the smallest changes can result in that nerve in her lower back being pinch by the vertebrae...sending that pain around her hip and down her leg. (Sciatica)

 

When the padding on top of the mattress sinks in, as your memory foam does, her hip hits the hard foam under it and the result is the pain for her.

There aren't a lot of choices for you on most showroom floors, when you're looking for this "right" mattress. The great majority of them won't do the job.

An individually pocketed coil unit provides contouring support...support designed to maintain the natural alignment of your spine. 

 

The best type of mattress that provides this type of support, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring.

The coils are more numerous and stronger than most others of its kind.

What's more the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, which provides cushioning, but won't allow you or her to sink.

Latex is both, comfortable and resilient. It holds you up and provides the feeling of "Floating".

What's more, latex is the longest lasting upholstery material available...remaining like new for many years.

Of the 4 models in their line, the Ultra Plush is the most comfortable, and the one I recommend for the two of you.

These mattresses have NO Memory Foam.

That mattress, shown on this link:

Also, that adjustable bed base isn't helpful for anything other sitting up to watch TV. 

It has little to no therapeutic value. When sleeping, it needs to be flat, in order for her spine to maintain its proper alignment.

This will also relieve the pressure at her hip.

 

To relieve chronic neck pain, there is no better pillow than the Pure Bliss Latex/Down.

There's no down in it. It's 100% finely chopped latex.

It's the finely chopped latex that allows you to form the mattress around your head and neck anyway you want...which is what relieves the pain.

In this, it behaves like a down pillow...which why they call it Latex/Down.

Unlike a down pillow that flattens out within a week, latex lasts for years.

A Latex Topper for a Too Firm Simmons Beautyrest Mattress to Relieve Sciatica Pain.

Margaret writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

What is the best latex topper--which firmness--for sciatica pain? 

I have a Simmons Beautyrest firm mattress which is way too firm for comfort. 

I want a topper to soften up the bed for my pressure points but still provide the necessary firmness to keep my spine aligned. 

I tried a memory foam topper on this same Simmons mattress and it sank in and was awful. 

Which latex foam mattress topper do you recommend? Firm or medium and Talalay or Dunlop?
Thanks, Margaret

Hi Margaret,

The EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper does the optimum job pressure point relief and comfort, for most people...(average or above average in weight).

If you are very heavy or very light in weight, then the recommendation will change to accommodate that.

********************************************************

 

Thank you for your response, Pete.

I wanted to add that I am an overweight female--about 5 foot, 7 inches and 180 lbs.  

With my sciatica, I really want to avoid a sinking feeling in the topper.  

Are you saying that the soft or even medium topper provides the support (and spring back) needed to keep one's spine aligned?  

If I were to get the more dense Dunlop topper, would you recommend a medium 2" to accomplish spinal support?

Would that provide pressure point comfort?  Maybe 3" is better?

Thanks, Margaret

 

 

Hi Margaret,

You don't need added support. Your mattress is providing that.

You need comfort.

It's seems to be natural for people to assume that if x amount of something is good, then more is bound to be better.

This is not true. 

The 3" tends to create a greater depth of softness, which seems to work only for those who are exerting less pressure. 

The 3" is better for a petite female in the 5' 100 lb. range.

For everyone else, the heavier parts of your body sink too far, which throws off the natural alignment of your spine.

Latex is nothing like memory foam. 

You don't sink through it. It cushions and contours to you, maintaining your proper alignment.

You are suspended by it. A floating, zero-gravity feel is the best description.

A Latex Topper for a Simmons Beautyrest Zoui Plush Mattress?

Teresa writes:

 

Hi there: 

I asked you a question a few months ago and am planning to buy a latex topper for my son, but have a little more info and wonder what you would suggest.

My son, currently, owns Simmons Beautyrest Zoui Plush mattress. It is 3+ years old and he has it on a wooden slatted frame. 

He is 29 years old but has recurring back problems - mostly lower back and sometimes sciatica.

Are we wasting our money to just purchase a 3" latex topper to place on his current mattress? 

We cant really afford to spend a lot of money right now, but I want to do the right thing 

(I purchased a latex topper from you a couple of years ago to put on our Sleep number bed.

It has been comfortable for both my husband and I who have back troubles as well....)

Thank you for your help,

Teresa

 

 

Hi Teresa,

A plush Beautyrest is made plush by using a much thinner gauge wire to make the coils.

It wears out quickly and provides terrible support...not to mention the memory foam, which adds to the poor quality.

A latex topper won’t help in this case. He needs a mattress that provides adequate support.

We carry a mattress that ships ups, which keeps the cost down.

It’s an old fashioned two sided mattress, using the same type but much stronger coil unit than the Beautyrest.

The upholstery is natural plant based poly foam...and no memory foam.

He’ll be comfortable on the Brolynn Plush.

A Mattress to Relieve Sciatica Pain, Delivered to Canada.

Jean writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I am in Canada.  I have an issue with my sciatica where some days it is very difficult to move.  

I need to purchase a mattress that will support me and relieve the pain.  

I am a back/side sleeper. Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Jean

 

Hi Jean,

Sciatica stems from worn discs in the small of the back. The vertebrae pinch nerves, which send pain around the hip and down the leg.

To best prevent this, it's imperative to keep your spine in it's natural alignment...which prevent the nerves from being pinched.

The best way to achieve this, is with a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system.

 

There are many different mattress brands that have that coil unit, but most are upholstered with memory foam.

One of the many problems with memory foam, is that it wears very quickly.

The last thing you need to do is waste your money on a mattress that feels good when new, and not, only months to a year later.

 

I have many disc problems, that no longer bother me, thanks to this mattress...which has remained like new for more than the 3 years we've had it.

The mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring. We have the Ultra Plush, which is the most comfortable of the 4 models.

Sleep Terrible and Wake with Back Pain on a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Ron writes:

 

Good afternoon, Pete

I came across your site while doing some research and your info was the best I have read.

 

We have a king Tempurpedic mattress made up of two twin XL beds as my wife and I have different likes. 

We purchased this about three years ago. I sleep terrible on it and wake up with back pain.  

 

I travel a lot and when I stay in some hotel I sleep good and the pain is less. I have some back issues as I am getting older. 

I was told, years ago, that I had the start of some degenerative discs,  but I wonder if I might have some sciatica.

I am heavy (250 lbs). I just spent four nights in a hotel, and from the first night woke up with much less pain. 

They use the Simmons Beautyrest Granville Terrace. 

I know it is hard to get hotel mattresses, although I also sleep well in the Hampton Inn and they sell their mattresses. 

What would you recommend for me as I did read your reply to another person's issue with a Granville terrace. 

I don’t have many mattress stores where we live as we are in the mountains of Georgia and I am fine buying online.

 

I want a good mattress that I will be comfortable with. I need a twin xl so it will replace my side of the current bed.

Thanks so much, Ron

 

Hi Ron,

What makes the Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the individually pocketed coils...all moving independently from one another.

They contour to the shape of your body and maintain the spine's natural alignment.

The coils are pre-compressed, (a 9" coil in a 7" pocket), which pushes back against the spine...for much better support than your foam mattress.

Unfortunately, they don't hold up very well. Between the coils not being made of tempered steel and the memory foam upholstery, they are mattresses made to need frequent replacing. Under your weight, you'd be lucky to get a couple of years out of one.

 

What I'm recommending is made by Natura of Canada...specifically, their Greenspring line.

These mattresses use the same pre-compressed individually pocketed coils that Simmons uses....for the support you liked so much.

The difference between the two brands is dramatic.

The coil count is higher.

The steel, from which the coils are made, is double tempered.

The primary upholster is natural Talalay latex....containing NO Memory Foam.

 

I'm 66 years old with lots of disc related back problems. My wife and I have their ultra plush model.

It provides excellent support and comfort...surface comfort that doesn't allow you to sink, and doesn't sleep hot.

The feel that latex produces, is one of 'floating'. It's, really, quite nice.

We live without back pain. And with each of us in the 225 lb range, the mattress remains in like new condition after more than 3 years...no sign of wear.

 

Here is a link to those mattresses. There are 4 choices of comfort.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for Neck, Back and Sciatica Pain

June writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My boyfriend is 6 feet tall and weighs between 270/280 lbs.  I am 5' 2" at 150. 

I like a soft mattress that is still supportive and he likes a supportive mattress that is somewhere between soft to medium firmness.  

I don't have any consistent back or neck issues.

But, depending on how I sleep, what I do at the gym or at work I will cause neck, back, or sciatica pain.  

Not every day pain but can become an issue if I tweak something.  

He has a physical job and will develop aches and pain depending upon what his job has him doing.  

He also had shoulder surgery years ago for a football injury during college that occasionally bothers him.

Not sure if this information helps, but figured I would try to be specific.  

I have been leaning myself towards a latex mattress as I feel it wraps around all my curves and appears to be supportive.  

I am a bit interested in your two sided mattresses.  

They appear to be good quality and their concept seems to make sense, but I  am unsure.   

Thanks. June

 

Hi June,

When shopping for a mattress in earnest, it's important to know what is inside and what it means.

At 270-280, you'll go through mattresses once a year, if all you're concerning yourself with, is the appearance of quality. 

Also, many people will automatically buy a name brand mattress because of their history of quality...quality that no longer exists.

The name brands have all been sold and memory foam, (a low quality foam), is now used to maximize profits.

 

A mattress is a blind item and it's that shroud that allows the industry to turn the average consumer into a regular customer.

If you're experiencing sciatica, you already have discs in your lower back that have worn.

The vertebrae pinching a nerve in that part of your back is what's causing the sciatica.

This makes you more sensitive to changes in the mattress as it wears....so you want one that wears slowly over the years. 

 

 

The mattress I recommend for you, is the same one we sleep on at home.

It uses an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the body and maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

THIS will be key to relieving your sciatica pain.

The pocketed coils, all move independently from one another...greatly reducing motion transfer...so you aren't disturbed when he moves.

The coil count is very high and the steel from which the coils are made, is double tempered...for the durability needed to hold a big man.

The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex...and there is NO Memory Foam in these mattresses.

The brand is Natura of Canada. The mattress I'm recommending to you is their Greenspring Plush Eurotop.

Tempurpedic Mattress Causing Sciatica and Shoulder Pain.

Andrea writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am 56 years old, 5'9 and weigh 200 lbs. 

I am currently sleeping on a Tempurpedic with an adjustable base.  

I have been a bartender for over 30 years.

I have just developed sciatica and the pain in my lower back and shoulder.  

I find this bed unbearable to sleep in any longer.  

I would like to buy a new mattress and keep the adjustable base.  

My bed is king size and my partner is 5'8 and about 190 lbs.  

Please help!  

We have had the bed less than a year.

I know this mattress has contributed to the problem. 

Thanks, Andrea

 

 

Hi Andrea,

The problem is the memory foam in that Tempurpedic mattress.

The promote that junk, as if it were the best thing since sliced bread.

It is, in fact, the worst upholstery material ever invented.

It’s temperature sensitive, meaning that it softens as it warms from your body heat.

Once softened, your body sinks into it.

It will sink furthest, wherever you’re heaviest...usually around the hips and waste.

THIS, is what is throwing off the alignment of your spine, which is causing the sciatica pain.

 

The material that IS the best, has always been pure, all natural latex.

You have to be careful here, as well.

Lots of online latex is made in China, where they use clay as filler, which cheapens it.

As a result, it doesn’t wear well.

 

Pure latex, on the other hand, wears extremely well...lasting for decades.

Here is a link the the EverEden, US made, Pure All Natural Latex Mattresses.

I suggest the 9” Model with a firm 6” core and a soft 3” top.

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

 

UPS Delivery is Free and there’s no sales tax.

While you wait for your new mattress to arrive, flip that Tempurpedic mattress over.

The underside is much firmer. The foam on the bottom is not temperature sensitive.

It’s probably too firm for comfort, but your sciatica pain should subside.

 

 

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.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress to Relieve Disc and Sciatica Pain.

Hi Pete,

I need a new mattress for a queen size bed. I am 5'4 125 lbs my husband is 6.3' 250 lbs.

I have a lower back bulging disc that with sciatica pain going down the leg.

I am a stomach sleeper, which I try to avoid since it is not good for the back. 

My husband prefers a medium firm mattress, no major problems with his back.

What type of mattress do you recommend?

Thank you, Linda

Hi Linda,

There's nothing wrong with being a stomach sleeper, as long as the mattress is firm enough.

The key to alleviating your sciatica pain is to keep your spine properly aligned.

You have worn discs in the small of your back. The nerves are being pinched by the bones.

Maintaining the natural alignment of your spine will prevent those nerves from being pinched, which will eliminate the sciatica pain that goes around the hip and down the leg.

 

Unfortunately, all of the name brands, that we've trusted over the decades, have gone bad.

That is to say, they've all been purchased by other companies, who are now  only interested in recouping the investment and turning a profit.

They do this with Memory Foam.

They spend millions of dollars to convince you that memory foam is the best thing since sliced bread...and it is, from their point of view. It causes a mattress to need frequent replacing.

 

Memory foam is the only upholstery material that is temperature sensitive.

What happens, the memory foam softens as it warms from the body heat you give off.

When it softens, you sink into it....throwing off the alignment of the spine.

When you have any sort of disc related back problems, it will only make it worse.

 

The diabolical part of all this, is that when you get out of bed, the memory foam will recover to a point that a necessary sustained impression needed to prevail in a warranty claim won't happen.

Instead of being able to exchange the mattress under the terms of the warranty, you have to buy new. If you don't know that it's the memory foam causing the problem, you will simply repeat the mistake...sometimes, over and over again.

The goal of the manufacturers who are using memory foam, is to sell more mattresses, more frequently, to the same people.

It's all about profit and has nothing to do with quality.

 

From a consumer's point of view, memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented. It's an expensive and a painful mistake that you must avoid making.

 

The quality of the components, is what you need to look for.

Simply going to a mattress store and picking out a mattress that's comfortable won't work today,

as it had in years past. Most mattress stores are a sea of mattresses...all loaded with memory foam.

 

In your case, you will need an innerspring mattress that will provide push back support against your spine to keep the discs in place and to prevent your bulging discs from herniating.

Since your husband is a big man, those coils need to be strong.

The best upholstery material...the most comfortable and the most durable...is all natural latex.

 

An individually pocketed coil will provide firm, contouring support that will maintain the spine's natural alignment. Upholstery material that provides surface comfort that won't let you sink, is natural latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years....nothing new here.

The best of this type of coil/latex hybrid mattress, that we've found after years of shopping the trade shows, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring.

 

There are 5 models in their line...none feeling as soft as they sound, due to the high quality and resiliency of the components used to make them.

For instance:

The Firm model is down right hard.

The Plush model is firm.

The Ultra Plush model has a medium feel....and the one I would recommend for you.

 

The coils are made of double tempered steel and the primary upholstery is natural latex.

The mattresses contain NO Memory Form.

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.

A Mattress to Relieve Sciatica and Hold Up under a Large Man.

Paulette writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a petite woman 5'2", 110 lbs. and my husband is a large man, not fat, 5'10", 210 lbs. We are young, early 30s. He is in perfect health, but I suffer from sciatica. 

The pain travels around my hip and down my leg. No matter what mattress we try, the pain won't go away. 

The Tempurpedic went back after making the pain worse, as did the Select Comfort bed and the Serta iSeries pillowtop mattress.

They all felt great, at first, but quickly started to became painful.

My old mattress was too firm, but I wish I had it back. After spending hours, last night, reading your incredibly helpful blog posts, I've decided to defer to you. 

Your depth of knowledge and expertise is very impressive. I'm going to trust that what you recommend for me will be what I need. 

To be honest, I have come to the realization that I just don't know what I'm doing, when it comes to this. 

And after being so badly mislead by the salespeople at the stores, I don't trust that they know what they're doing, either.

Thanks in advance, Paulette

 

Hi Paulette...and thank you. We will get you and your husband all fixed up.

Near the base of your spine is the nerve center for the lower half of your body. To have sciatica, you must also have discs in that area that have worn. 

The vertebrae are now pinching a nerve, which creates sciatica and the pain you described.

The best you can do to relieve the nerve from being pinched, is to maintain your spine's natural alignment. 

A hard mattress, like the one you had, holds you up too high and doesn't give enough at the hip. 

All foam and air mattresses, like the ones you bought, allow your hip to sink too far. 

Either way, your body's natural alignment was thrown off...which then pinches the nerve that causes the sciatic pain you're feeling.
An innerspring mattress is a must form you.

 

Of all the innerspring mattresses available, the Simmons Beautyrest, with individually pocketed coils that move independently from one another, does the best job of maintaining your spine's natural alignment. At your size, almost any Beautyrest will do. But, your mattress also has to support a large man.

Your best option is the Simmons Beautyrest Blach Desiree in luxury firm. This will provide contouring support you need, and be strong enough to hold a man the size of your husband.

At your size, the mattress itself will be a little too firm for comfort. Add to that mattress, a 2" soft Talalay latex mattress topper. Latex is the highest quality upholstery material available. 

It will do more than just soften the surface of the mattress. It will hold you up and not allow you to sink...giving just enough with your hip and otherwise, provide a zero gravity feel. 

Latex lasts for many years and is all natural. Because it is so resilient, it will absorb your husband's body weight, which will add years of life to the mattress.

Your husband will also enjoy the comfort it provides.

What's more, your sciatica pain will be relieved and you'll sleep deeply.

Here are the links to the mattress and topper.
