I’m ready to purchase a latex mattress topper.

Hi Pete,

I spoke with you more than a year ago, and I’m now ready to purchase a latex mattress topper.  

We have a newer mattress, firm and no pillow top. 

My husband is a side sleeper and has some neck issues.

We are also ordering the side sleeper pillow for him. 

I am a a back and side sleeper, with lumbar scoliosis and arthritis.  

Should we order the 2" or 3" Pure Bliss Talalay latex topper?  

And should we go with plush?

Thanks, Barb 

 

Hi Barb,

The last time we spoke, PureBliss was still making latex toppers for their retail customers.

That ended last January during the pandemic, when they closed 2 of their 3 US factories.

Latex International owns PureBliss and is still making latex for their wholesale customers.

The Natura of Canada Talalay Latex Mattress Topper comes from Latex International.

They are only available in 2” and Plush is what you’ll want.

Shown here:

The pillow you’re husband needs is the PureBliss Shredded Latex, 

This pillow is ideal for relieving chronic neck pain.

Shipping is free.

 

 

Thanks, Pete 

 

Never:

Use an old box spring/foundation with any new mattress. 

Doing so voids the warranty of the mattress.

Always:

Use a waterproof mattress protector. 

Your new mattress will last longer if kept clean and dry.

A new mattress for scoliosis and sensitivity to chemical off gassing.

Susanna writes:

Hi Pete,

I am looking for a new mattress and someone suggested your website.

I have scoliosis and am a side sleeper and am super stiff in the morning. I weigh in the 120’s.  

This just started happening.  My husband is around 200lbs and sleeps in all positions.

I am super sensitive to chemical off gassing.

We are looking for a king mattress, what would you recommend?

Thanks, Susanna

 

Hi Susanna,

Memory foam is only upholstery material that off gasses.

It off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory is made.

You’ll be happy to know that we sell no mattresses with memory foam in them.

 

All of the major brands, as well as many others, are using memory foam.

The chemical off gassing is the insult to injury.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

The diabolical thing is that you rarely prevail in a warranty claim.

This has created a boon for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer.

They are selling more mattresses, more frequently to the same people, while disingenuously touting the non-existent virtues of memory foam.

 

I have a couple of good options for you.

The lesser expensive of them is the Wolf Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress.

Specifically, the Brolynn in Plush.

Shown here:

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

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system, which is ideal for relieving chronic back pain…

providing firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

The upholstery material is natural, plant based poly foam.

This mattress arrives via ups.

 

The better choice is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

This, too, uses an individually pocketed coil system.

The coil count is higher.

The primary upholstery is natural Talalay Latex…the best, most resilient upholstery material on the planet.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

This mattress comes with white glove delivery…brought into the bedroom, unpacked, setup and all packaging materials are removed.

 

Either way, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Thanks for your quick response!  

Do you know what the delivery times are for these? 

I let this go way too long and am in pain every morning.  

Also, would you suggest a latex topper?

Susanna

 

Hi Susanna,

The Wolf mattress arrives within about a week.

The Natura mattress takes about 3 weeks.

 

A soft latex topper is a great way to get long lasting surface comfort.

I recommend waiting until the mattress arrives, and you’ve slept on it for a few days, before deciding if that next step is necessary.

The Suite Sleep Latex Toppers are made of Pure Latex…not blended and with no fillers….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

These arrive in about a week…shipping via FedEx.

Again, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

83 years old petite mom with scoliosis and sleep apnea.

Susan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I would be so grateful for your help with a mattress for my mother. 

She'll be 83 years old tomorrow, is petite...5'2" and 120lbs. 

Mom has severe scoliosis and sleep apnea. 

She hasn't had a good night's sleep in years and has hip pain daily. 

Most nights she sleeps in a recliner.

 

An adjustable base is a must. Is there a mattress you would recommend for her? 

She talking about all latex.

But after reading some of your posts, I'm not convinced that's best for her scoliosis. 

 

Fingers are crossed you have the magic solution she's been seeking!

Thanks, Susan

 

Hi Susan,

Let me start with what you think you know.

Your mothers head needs to be elevated.

Her spine requires that she sleeps with her spine in its best alignment.

As soon as you raise the head of an adjustable bed, you can forget about proper spinal alignment.

Here’s the best way to solve the breathing problem without exacerbating her back and hip pain.

These bed risers could very well be all you need to buy.

If she is still uncomfortable after you get those installed, get back to me with the following information:

What mattress is she sleeping on now?

How old is it?

What’s her complaint about it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Hi Barb,

Both, the 2" and 3", will help.

But there's no question that the 3" provides a greater degree of surface comfort.

Given your arthritis, if for no other reason, I recommend the Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Petite Female?

Mrs. Stephens writes:

 

Hello,

I have been looking for a mattress for few months! 

It is so hard for most of us trying to do research and our everyday chores. I would greatly appreciate it!

I have been reading your site today and just noticed you mentioned Natura of Canada Greenspring.

I noticed plush, firm & ultra plush. I believe, you said you have that one at your home?

However, you may suggest something totally different and may not. 

I am a petite female, 5ft and 108 lbs.

The mattress is just for me, I have pinched nerve in my neck, scoliosis & bad osteoarthritis.

I do not even need to discuss memory foam.

 

Other than a mattress, I don’t know if I need a foundation?

I have a box spring now for another brand mattress which I don’t know if it can even be used, probably not.

I have a very good expensive head board, very nice size piece of furniture for the foot board, & the wood furniture is also on the sides, with 3 slats(one at head, middle,& foot) also with one leg in the middle that touches the floor. 

All of this makes up my total bed frame. Is it possible that a foundation would fit within this structure? 

If not, what would work? My suite is only a few years old.

I am in pain every day and night. Also, much older now, thus, I am past wanting to order.

Cordially, Mrs.Stephens

 

Good Morning Mrs. Stephens,

Your bed does require a foundation for the mattress.

The box spring you have is likely to be in good enough condition to reuse.

Based on your physical size, it isn’t likely to have worn.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are the best we carry.

But, they are more mattress than someone your size needs.

The Wolf Hybrid Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress is what I would recommend.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/

 

Both brands use the same type of coil system, which contours to the shape of the body, maintaining the natural alignment of the spine.

It’s this type of support that will do the most to relieve back pain.

 

There is a difference in the way they’re delivered.

The Wolf mattress arrives via ups, which means you may need some help bringing it in, setting it up and removing your old mattress.

 

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

If going with a Greenspring mattress, I recommend the Ultra Plush model, as it is the most comfortable of them.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

Regardless of which you choose, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Hi Barb,

Either the 2" or 3", Soft Dunlop or Talalay will help.

But there's no question that the 3" Vita Talalay Latex Topper provides the greatest degree of surface comfort.

Given your arthritis, if for no other reason, I recommend the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper.

A Mattress for Severe Scoliosis.

Marybeth writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a severe "S" curve scoliosis with a fused spine and have gone through so many beds.  

I cannot sleep on a foam mattress, as they have no support. 

I'm 59 115 LB. I was sleeping on mattress with pillow top, then latex mattress, then air bladder. 

Now, I'm sleeping on just a box spring with pad and blankets.

Can you recommend anything? 

Thank you, Marybeth

 

Hi Marybeth,

Given your slender build, an expensive mattress is not necessary.

What is necessary, is that it be firm.

Here is a link to an old fashioned two sided innerspring mattress with no memory foam.

If you like what you see, order it in Firm.

Mattresses for Lightweight People, One with a Scoliosis Body Brace.

Mr. J writes:

 

Hello, Pete

I discovered your web site while researching mattresses. 

I am searching for a new queen and twin mattress for lightweight people.

The queen is for my wife and I. We are both side sleepers weighing under 150 lbs. each with no medical conditions. 

The twin would be for our teen daughter. She is about a 110 lbs., scoliosis and wears a body brace to sleep.

Some nights she is very uncomfortable. Her current mattress is a standard store bought model with no extra padding.

 

Is your business a wholesale mattress seller or a warehouse? How do you ship and who does the deliveries? 

Before shopping at the usual outlets, I would like to see what you have to offer.

Sincerely, Mr. J

Which Mattress is Better, Latex or Innerspring with Latex?

Sheri writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Which is a better type of mattress--all latex or innerspring w/ latex?

Thanks, Sheri

 

Hi Sheri,

If only it were that simple!

There are so many good and bad choices on either side of that isle...almost like standing at the podium looking out over the entire congressional body...only with more good choices than you have there.

 

An all latex mattress is more expensive than an innerspring...even one that is upholstered with latex.

An all latex mattress has always been considered the best you can buy, due to the longevity of latex and the longevity of the comfort that latex provides.

 

Name brand innerspring mattress don't use latex to upholster their mattresses. 

They use memory foam, which has proven itself to be the worst material ever invented for use in a mattress.

You'll find that last statement to be in stark contrast to what you'll hear from salespeople at most stores.

 

An All Latex mattress will work just fine for many people. 

For those with disc related back problems, that may or may not be the case....depending on your weight.

Generally, a disc issue, such as Herniated Discs, DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease), and bulging discs....even some scoliosis patients, will require the upward support of an innerspring mattress.

The severity of the problem in conjunction with body weight are the factors to consider when making that decision.

For instance, if the problem is mild and the person with it is reasonably light in weight, then an all latex mattress could be just fine.

The greater the severity and the heavier the person is, it's more likely that they will require an innerspring.

But even then, you'll want that innerspring to be upholstered with latex.

Latex is thee best upholstery material on the planet...and has been so for the last 100 years.

The best we carry...the best I could find when shopping at the trade shows, is Natura of Canada.

Their Greenspring line uses a precompressed, individually pocketed coil system.

The coils are made of double tempered steel and the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex.

We sleep on the Ultra Plush model, at home...still like new after more than 4.5 years, with each of us over 200 lbs.

That line of mattresses, shown here:

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

The Bourdolay model in plush, is the most popular of their all latex models.

Here, too, the latex is Natural Talalay.

What type of mattress do I purchase for my 14 yr. old daughter with scoliosis?

Tracy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What type of mattress do I purchase for my 14 yr. old daughter with scoliosis?  

The mattress she has now is a twin and worn out resulting to poor sleep and back pain.  

We are getting her a full size, but not sure what type is best for her back.  

She has scoliosis that is treated by a chiropractor. Her condition is considered mild.  

She has never been in a brace and goes to the Chiropractor once a month for an adjustment.

But, you can tell she has it by her shoulder blade that sticks out.  

She does have mild pain if she doesn't keep stretched out.

Thanks, Tracy

 

 

Hi Tracy,

Here's a link to a mattress that provides proper support and enough cushioning for a developing female.
