I've had an allergic reaction to the toxins in my memory foam mattress.

Hi Pete,

I have found Your question and answer portion in your website extremely helpful. 

I bought a memory foam from a big chain mattress store and unfortunately I've had an allergic reaction to the toxins in the mattress. 

We are still in our trial period and I am able to return the mattress.  

However, due to the return policy of our purchase, if I were to return the mattress, I would end up losing close to $1000. 

Anyway the mattress store worked with me that they would be able to exchange the memory foam mattress for a Chatham and Wells mattress.

Both, the Franklin euro top or Josephine euro top will cost me another $1250 on top of what I have already spent. 

I am torn between taking the loss of $1000 and use the remaining money I have left to purchase an all latex mattress or spending $1250 for the C&W mattress. 

I am quite concerned with the innerspring because I have had an inner spring for years and they do sag and you start feeling the coils. 

I have never tried a latex mattress, and there are none around me. All I have are samples provided by the latex mattress company. 

I have been playing with them and they seem to be pretty OK. I am hoping you would be able to share some insightful advice. 

Thank you, Carina

 

Hi Carina,

You’re in a tough spot.

What makes your situation even more difficult is that you haven’t fully experienced the pain of memory foam. 

That is to say, you are only aware of it’s toxicity...and have yet to experience that it doesn’t last very long.

Memory foam loses its support and comfort very quickly.

Memory foam is, in fact, the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.

 

Adding insult to injury, is that worthless comfort guarantee.

I can only tell you that if you want to make a successful long term purchase, you need to avoid mattresses made with memory foam.

I suspect that those Chatham & Wells mattresses are also upholstered with memory foam...as most of today’s mattresses are.

You must be sure about that before deciding.

Ask to see the specifications of those mattresses.

Spending more money on a mattress made with memory foam is a waste of that money.

 

Memory foam has been on the market for 15 years, or so.

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

An all foam mattress, even one made of all latex, isn’t always a good choice.

If you have any disc related back problems, you’d do better with an innerspring mattress that’s upholstered with latex.

The coils of an innerspring mattress provide the pushback support that sort of back problem requires.

 

Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,

Thank you so much for the quick response!!

 

Here's what it says about the Josephine mattress:

The Josephine Euro Top mattress offers the ultimate package in sleep performance with incredible support and a medium comfort feel. 

This mattress has it all: Joma Wool, talalay latex, the 4” lo-pro wrapped coils, fabric-encased samson coil for advanced durability and comfort. 

In addition, this mattress also features nano coil technology, an additional 1386 micro coils found in the comfort layers designed to delicately contour the body. 

This mattress offers a supreme sleeping experience designed to provide night after night of luxurious, rejuvenating rest.

 

It seems like a heavy duty mattress, but I am a bit skeptical to go with an innerspring mattress again.

I feel less pain and pressure points with the all foam mattress. 

I have scoliosis and do get back pains and pressure points in my shoulders etc.

The all memory foam mattress has definitely alleviated my pain and discomfort which I have experienced in our old innerspring. 

How the foam contours to the body compared to the innerspring has helped with the discomfort. 

Perhaps that is only when the all foam mattress is new and yes I can see how it disintegrates fast down the line. 

I heard that an all latex mattress helps with spinal alignment, but of course I wouldn’t know :) 

Does an all latex mattress have lesser support and lose support rather quickly than an innerspring?

Thank you so much for getting back to me; your answering to my query has been a great treat!

Carina

 

Hi Carina,

That big chain store is one of thee most expensive places to buy a mattress.

And, they have filed for bankruptcy.

 

The info you provided about the Josephine mattress has a lot of buzz words, but no specific information.

I suggest that you get that list of specifications.

It says it has Talalay Latex, but doesn’t say where it is in the mattress or how much of it there is.

 

I also suggest that you shop the internet for a comparable C&W mattress, so that you might get theirs for less money. 

As it is now, it’s way overpriced.

 

Latex is the most comfortable, most resilient, longest lasting upholstery material anywhere on the planet.

It is tons better than anything else, and the antithesis of memory foam.

 

An individually pocketed coil unit, compared to an interlocking coil unit, contours to the body, relieves pressure point pain. 

It maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

The micro coils in that mattress, also relieve pressure, but don’t wear well.

 

I wish you luck.

The mattress industry, on a whole, has gone bad...selling junk mattresses at high prices.

And out of all the retailers out there, the one you chose is among the least consumer friendly places to buy. 

You made a mistake buying from them. 

All in all, I’m afraid you’ll find this to be an expensive and unsatisfactory expensive.

Pete

Hi Pete!!

Thank you for your candor.

 

Yes, it seems that this was a very expensive lesson learned!  

I am going to try and salvage whatever refund or fair exchange I can get from that store, but this is not going to be easy.  

They are very hard to deal with, I have come to find out!!

Thank you, again, Pete...and may you and your family have a wonderful New Year ahead!!

Carina

 

 

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours, Carina

 

Thanks, Pete

A Mattress For Scoliosis That Sleeps Cool.

Lesley writes:

Hi Pete,

I need a mattress that sleeps cool.

I need a mattress for someone with scoliosis.

Thanks, Lesley

 

Hi Lesley,

Short, sweet, and to the point. I like that.

 

Memory foam is THEE thing to avoid. It's the only upholstery material that sleeps hot.

Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that absorbs your body heat and reflects it back to you.

 

A mattress that has a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil unit, is best for scoliosis.

It provides pushback support that maintains the natural alignment of your spine...holding it in place.

 

The best mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring...which has that coil unit and latex upholstery...and NO Memory Foam.

There are 4 choices of comfort in that line of mattresses.

Here is the link where you can view specifications and prices.

Looking to Replace an Old Stearns and Foster Mattress for Scoliosis and Spinal Fusion.

Diane writes:

 

Hi Peter, 

Thank you for such a good website. 

I have been looking to replace a Stearns and Foster Regency Pillowtop mattress purchased in 1990. It has worn out, and I have been experiencing back and hip pain during the night. 

I have scoliosis and a spinal fusion with steel rods, so a good mattress is a must, but I don't like a rock-hard mattress. My husband can sleep on anything. 

Would you recommend a S&F for me again? 

I have been looking at the S&F latex models, but latex is new to me. 

We need a queen size mattress.

Thanks, Diane

 

Hi Diane,

Your situation requires firm support...firm support that remains firm.

And, as you mentioned, with some cushioning on top for surface comfort.

The rods in your back will not bode well on a mattress with contouring support...like you would get with an individually pocketed coil.

And certainly not any foam mattress...even though latex is the best and most resilient of all the foams.

Even there, not a S&F...using synthetic latex. 

And now including memory foam, since Tempurpedic bought them in 2013.

Nothing S&F makes, today, is worth buying...for anyone...and especially not you.

 

I can understand your tendency to want to stay with that brand, considering how well you did the last time. 

However, the mattress industry, as a whole, has changed dramatically since your last purchase. Few of today's mattresses will last as long as the one you have....S&F, especially, is a poor value now that they are owned by Tempurpedic and are using a lot of memory foam in every mattress they make. Your old S&F had no memory foam in it...and, was two sided.

 

Almost all of today's mattresses are one sided, unlike yours.  

These two factors have worked together to make today's production line mattresses disposable...like so many other products we buy today. 

This may be hard for you to believe, given what you're used to, but you are lucky to get 5 years from today's mattresses...and much too often, less than that...especially for people who start off with a sensitive back problem.

 

An all natural, all latex mattress will last a very long time. However, what S&F offers in the way of latex is a combination of synthetic latex and poly foam...nowhere near the same quality.

A moot point, as people with the severity of back problems, as you have, don't fare well on even the best of latex mattresses. They simply lack the stiffness necessary for proper support.

 

Your mattress was very hard. The hardness mitigated by the pillowtop. But, even the pillowtop part isn't made as well today as it was back then. Today, pillowtops are thicker and softer, using lower density poly and memory foams to create a "luxury" feel...something that sells well, but doesn't keep its shape worth a darn. 

 

I suggest you stay with something similar to what you have.

The Tulah Firm Two Sided mattress will provide the same support you had been used to.

Don't let the low price fool you. It's very well made...and, the right support for your back.

It is too firm to sleep on comfortably, so here is where you turn to latex.

An EverEden all natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex topper will provide surface comfort that lasts for many years and does not impede the underlying firm support of the mattress.

In short,  this combination provides everything your body needs to sleep well for a very long time.

 

 

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 for Scoliosis, Severe Back Pain and Sleep Apnea

Jessica writes:

 

Hi Pete

Last year, I underwent scoliosis correction surgery where they fused my whole thoracic spine (10 vertebrae). 

My scoliosis situation is a little different in the sense that most people with scoliosis only have one curve, as to where I had 3. 

Cervical/thoracic/lumbar. my lumbar was not corrected or fused but I do have DDD. 

I have severe pain and inflammation each day and I do not sleep through out the night on my current pillow top mattress which is pretty old.

I have read that you say, pillow tops do not hold up for very long...I purchased a memory foam topper for my bed but it feels like it rolls us to the middle of the bed.

Now I have the needs listed above but I also have to accommodate my husband who has sleep apnea.

Would you suggest something like a sleep number where we can each adjust to our own needs? 

How about an adjustable bed for my husband?

My needs fluctuate depending on the pain and inflammation level. 

Please help any advice on a mattress before I start the process of buying would be very helpful.

Thank you, Jessica

Hi Jessica,

Your situation is a bit complex. As such, it's incredibly important that you don't aggravate one condition while addressing another.

Your husband needs to be tilted, but your spinal condition requires you to remain flat.

So, lets start there.

We carry an adjustable bed base from Glideaway. This unit does everything any other adjustable base does, but also has a feature that none of the other adjustable bases have.

It'a their "Tilt" feature.

This tilt feature is unique. It tilts the bed while remaining flat. 

This allows for easier breathing for your husband, while providing the "unbent" support you spine issues require.

Here is a link to that line. I recommend the "Ascend" model as the better buy.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-foundations/glideaway-adjustable-bed-bases/

Glideaway Adjustable Bed Bases | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com The Elevation and Ascend models include a Tilt Feature, which allows your body to sleep elevated for easier breathing while remaining flat for side sleeping.

 

Your mattress needs to be firm to support your spine properly.

You also need a comfortable sleeping surface....and, you need these to remain like new and wear slowly over a long time.

That's the problem with today's pillowtops. They wear very quickly. 

The best quality mattress that will do everything you need it to do...and not wear out, is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Plush Eurotop.

The things you must avoid is memory foam and pillowtops. This mattress has neither.

Pure Talalay Bliss Nature Latex Mattress Needs to be Firmer to Relieve Back Pain.

Fran writes:

Hi Pete,

I have the Pure Talalay Bliss Nature latex mattress now for about 5 years. 

I have scoliosis so my spine is fused mostly. I'm feeling that the mattress should be a little bit more firm (having lower back pain)

Which latex topper would help make it firmer?

Thanks, Fran

 

Hi Fran,

I don't think you have to buy anything.

The latex at the bottom of your mattress is firmer than at the top.

Even though the mattress is made to be one sided, all you have to do is flip it over.

Give that a try before doing anything else.

 

If you still have feel you need a topper after that, it would be the EverEden 2" Firm Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper.

Simmons Beautyrest World Class mattress and soft latex topper.

 

Hi Pete,

I recently went to a hotel and fell in love with the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Felicity II Super Pillow Top Plush.  

After googling this mattress I came across an answer you gave, where you recommended a Beautyrest World Class Raleigh. I have learned that this line has been discontinued.
I am presently sleeping in a 20 year old tube waterbed with mattress top.  

I wake up with a backache every morning and blame it on my age (53), arthritis and slight scoliosis however I'm thinking it might be time for a new mattress.  

While I like a firm mattress I loved the bed I slept in at the hotel. 
Since you are the expert, I would like to know which type mattress you would recommend for my husband and I. I am now leaning towards a Simmons but am not sure which type to get.  

Thanks so much for your help. 
Cherie

Hi Cherie,
That hotel mattress is engineered for comfort, but falls way short when it comes to durability.
Any given hotel room isn't used every night. Even so, the hotel will only get 4 years out of a plush pillowtop Beautyrest. 

In a master bedroom, you'd be lucky to get half that. The pillowtops wear out quickly and the coils in a plush Beautyrest are very thin.
A human body requires firm support for the skeletal system...and a comfortable sleeping surface for relief of pressure points and blood flow and muscle relaxation, for a greater depth of sleep.
You can get those things with the mattress you asked about...for about a year. If your budget allows for a new mattress every year, then go for it. 

However, if you are like most of us, that kind of unnecessary expenditure is unacceptable.
Start with a luxury firm Beautyrest and add 2" of soft Talalay latex topper for the feel you want that will last for many years. 

Latex is extraordinarily comfortable and extremely resilient. So much so, that it will absorb much of your body weight and in so doing, extend the life of the mattress.
In the long run, this combination sleep system is far less expensive than frequently replacing any of today's mattresses.

Wolf Firm Two Sided Mattresses for Scoliosis.

Hi Pete,
We are looking for a new mattress for our 15 year old son, who has scoliosis. 

He is 6' 3", weighs about 150.  

He has a 15% lumbar curve. 

His old mattress is causing him pain. 

I was wondering if you could recommend anything.
Thanks so much!
Jeanne 

Hi Jeanne,
Every scoliosis patient, I've come across, benefits from a firm to hard mattress.
However, with your son being so slender, he is likely to find a mattress like that to be uncomfortable.
We carry mattresses from Wolf, (a very old (1872) family owned and operated company.

They have some old fashioned two-sided models, which use the Bonnell coil unit...the large heavy coils used many years ago.

This coil unit is very firm and strong. The two-sided models are the Tulah in Firm, Luxury Firm, and the Brooklyn model in plush.

Being so tall and thin, I can't help but feel that the Brooklyn Plush will give him both, firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

To be on the safe side, you can go with one of the firmer Tulah models...which can always be softened if he finds them too firm.

Wolf Latex/Hybrid Adrian Mattress for your father with scoliosis.

Jennifer writes:

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a new mattress for my father.

He is an average size man, buy suffers with scoliosis.

Since he gets some relief from his back pain when lying on the floor, I'm sure that the pocketed coils and memory foam won't work for him.

But, it's all I can find in stores.

Do you have something that you can recommend?

Perhaps, something that doesn't cost a lot?

Thanks, Jennifer

 

Hi Jennifer,

The mattress is made by Wolf Company...a very old (est. 1872) family owned and operated manufacturer in the Midwest.

The model to choose, for your dad's condition, is the Adrian.

The Adrian model has the Bonnell coil, which is the best support for scoliosis.

The upholstery is all natural latex...the most resilient of all the foams.

Replace my Stearns & Foster Mattress or add a Latex Topper.

Jan writes:

Hello,
I talked to you earlier today. You were torn between recommending the Natura plush or ultra plush.  

I'm 5'7" 165,  husband is 6'2" 220. I have scoliosis and joint pain. My husband likes a softer mattress he has sleep apnea and I think we both snore a little.  

We both need relief on our pressure points. 
I am going to try a mattress topper with my Stearns and Foster coil mattress, you recommended the Talalay 2".   

Can you tell me what the difference is between the soft Dunlop and the Talalay. They both have IDL ratings of 14-19. Would the Dunlop not relieve pressure?  

Would Dunlop feel firm even though both have the same IDL?
Also, I forgot to ask you if we like our topper and decide we would like to replace our Stearns and Foster  mattress which mattress would you recommend that would work with the topper?
Thank you!
Jan

Hi Jan,

The Talalay process has a freezing step that the Dunlop process doesn't have. The particles are suspended in the Talalay and settle in the Dunlop.

The end result is a more supple feel for the Talalay and a more dense feel for the Dunlop.

For surface comfort and pressure point relief, the Soft Talalay is the best...2" is all you'll need.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/

Latex Mattress Toppers - All Natural Talalay Latex Toppers ... themattressexpert.com Talalay Latex toppers are normally purchased as “Soft” for the purpose of softening a too firm mattress. However, both, the Vytex Dunlop & Talalay Latex Mattress ...

When you want to replace your mattress, with the idea of using the topper with the new mattress, I'd feel pretty comfortable with you choosing the Natura Greenspring Liberty in Plush.

As I told you over the phone, the latex is much more resilient that poly or memory foam, so the plush isn't likely to feel as soft as your husband would like.

Together...the plush and the topper will give him what he wants and also provide a little firmer support for your back.

These products are terrific for relieving pressure points and relaxing muscles for a deeper night's sleep. And the quality of latex means greater longevity than you can't get otherwise.
