Reviving the feel of an old Sealy Reflexion Venice Beach Latex Mattress with a Soft Latex Topper.

Bill writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I think we have a similar problem with our mattress that some of the other folks have written you about. 

We are happy with our mattress but the two impressions are a problem.  

Since we are both pretty heavy I am 5' 8" 280 lbs. and my wife is 5' 2" 230 lbs. 

We are wondering which thickness latex topper and what firmness you would recommend. 

I think we bought it from your store maybe. We bought it in July 2005.  

If we flip it over and add a topper which one  would best restore that firm feel of the new Venice Beach. 

Thanks Bill

 

Hi Bill,

For that ultra plush feel, it would be the EverEden 3" Soft Talalay latex topper.

Unlike the poly foam on the top of the mattress, the latex does not lose its shape.

The original comfort will be restored and last for many more years.

Saving a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Ultra Plush Latex Mattress.

Jason writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I have had a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest since 2007.  It’s been a great mattress up until the last year or so.  

I’m mostly a stomach sleeper while sometimes sleeping on my side.  

I’ve been waking up with sore shoulders or while sleeping on my stomach, my arms will fall asleep depending on what position they are in.  

My wife doesn’t usually have any problems.  

The Meadowcrest was the ultra plush model of the Spring Free series.

Do you think it would be worthwhile flipping it and adding one of your toppers as you’ve suggested with the plush model?  

Thank you, Jason

 

 

Hi Jason,

It’s the polyurethane foam on top of the latex that has compressed...the source of your problems.

When you flip that mattress, the worn poly foam is at the bottom and the firm latex is at the top.

Adding an EverEden Pure All Natural 3” Soft Talalay Latex Topper will restore the surface feel. 

What’s more, the latex topper will not compress...as did the poly foam.

You’ll enjoy that mattress for many more years.

Here’s a link to that topper.

Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress Fix.

Sheryl writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have an older Sealy SpringFree Beachside Plush Latex mattress.

We have loved sleeping on this mattress, but now it has body impressions.

It's not as comfortable as it once was.

My husband is a big man, and his side is worse than mine.

I know that this mattress is discontinued.

What can you recommend that would be similar?

Thanks, Sheryl 

 

Hi Sheryl,

Your mattress is made with a latex core, and topped with polyurethane foam.

It’s the poly foam that has worn.

Latex lasts far longer than poly foam.

If you flip your mattress over, you’ll see that it provides the same firm support that it has provided all these years.

All that’s missing is the soft sleeping surface.

THIS, can be easily replaced for a whole lot less than the price of a new mattress.

Instead of using poly foam, you’ll add soft all natural latex.

The soft latex resists body impressions, and sleeps cool.

2” or 3” EverEden Pure All Natural Vytex Dunlop Latex Topper comes finished in a sewn on fabric, which you will simply lay on top of the flip side of your mattress.

To replace the mattress, it would be with a natural latex mattress, without all that poly foam on top.

The top US brand is Pure Talalay Bliss...with the “Nutrition” model being plush enough and durable enough for a big man.

As you can see, the difference in price is substantial...with the topper option being one that has worked well for many over the past decade.

 

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.

Trying to Replicate an Old Carrington Chase Latex mattress.

Hi Pete,

I have an old queen size Carrington Chase Latex mattress that I'd like to replicate with the exact same thing in king size.

I bought a new memory foam mattress and put this Carrington Chase mattress in the guest room.

Now, this memory foam is hurting my back. After spending a couple of nights on my old Carrington Chase latex mattress, my back pain went away.

Can you help me find the same mattress? If not, is there something similar?

Thanks, Maggie

 

Hi Maggie,

There is no exact replacement available.

At the time, Carrington Chase, sold by Bassett Furniture, was owned by Sealy.

It was the same as their old SpringFree Latex line.

Now, it's all owned by Tempurpedic and even their latex mattresses have been poisoned with their toxic memory foam.

 

There are lots of different types of latex available.

Your mattress, for instance, uses synthetic latex.

Synthetic latex is a molecular clone of natural latex....perfectly fine.

 

This first link is for 100% pure, all natural latex...which has been the best available, for the last 100 years.

And while it is the best quality latex and a best buy, it may not be right for you, due to the way it ships...UPS.

This would require bringing it in and setting it up yourself.

If you do go with this mattress, I recommend the EverEden 9" model, which will give you the surface comfort you want.

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

 

For white glove delivery...brought in and set up...The Natura of Canada brand is an excellent choice.

This latex is made as a blend of natural and synthetic...30% natural and 70% synthetic.

The Bourdolay in Plush would be the one I recommend for the feel you want.

Natura Latex Level 2 Mattress | The Mattress Expert themattressexpert.com Level 2 – All Natural Latex Mattresses. Natura uses only the highest quality materials available for their Latex Mattresses….(No Chemicals and No Fillers)…with ...

Finally, Talalay Global, formerly known as Pure Talalay Bliss, is thee name brand in the world of latex mattresses.

These, too, are comprised of Blended latex...30% natural and 70% synthetic.

The most comfortable....without the feeling of being too soft...is the Beautiful model.  

In fact, the Beautiful model has a more luxurious feel. The Nutrition model should be soft enough for you...providing a firmer core than the Beautiful.

These also come with white glove delivery.

Firmest and Best All Latex Mattress I can find.

Lorenzo writes:

 

 

Hi Peter,

I had bought a Sealy Springfree mattress from you, some years back on your recommendation, and it was the best mattress I've ever slept on .  

I'm looking to buy a latex twin-xl mattress, and have noticed that the lineup has changed a bit.  I don't even see Sealy in your list of brands.

I'm interested in the most firm latex mattress in that size, and would like to know what you recommend.  Cost is not a factor.  I really am looking for the best.

The person is 5'9" tall and weighs 215 pounds.  He doesn't have any physical conditions to take into consideration.

Many thanks,

Lorenzo

 

Hi Lorenzo,

Sealy and S&F were purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013. Everything thing they make today is loaded with memory foam.

Sealy and S&F are no longer on our website because of this. I find that they are no longer worth buying...so, we no longer sell them.

 

 

However, we have expanded our latex selection.

We have a few options for firm latex models. What I consider to be the Best Buy, from among the other brands, is the EverEden.

Their mattress can be custom ordered with any degree of firm latex you want. Shrink wrapped, rolled, boxed, and shipped UPS, is what helps to keep the price down.

Shown here:

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

 

 

Pure Latex Bliss, now called Talalay Global, is thee "Name Brand" in the Latex mattress world.

Their starting model, "The Pamper" model, is their firmest.

Replacing a Carrington Chase Mason Knowles Pillowtop Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I have a Carrington Chase Mason Knowles pillowtop mattress that is about 9 years old and has become too soft, causing me back pain.

This was a top of the line model and cost quite a lot.

I prefer a firmer feel and would like your suggestion for a high quality mattress.

Thanks, Kevin

 

 

Hi Kevin,

The Carrington Chase Mason Knowles mattress was made by Sealy for Bassett Furniture stores.

It was the same as Sealy's SpringFree line, which is a latex mattress topped with poly foam.

All discontinued, now that Sealy is owned by Tempurpedic.

If you do, in fact, need a new mattress, The Natura Greenspring Liberty Plush Eurotop is the most comfortable of the 5 models in that line.

shown here:

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

Natura Greenspring Pocketed Coil Mattresses | The Mattress ... themattressexpert.com Greenspring Liberty Plush Euro Top. Experience deeper, more restorative sleep with the Liberty Plush Euro Mattress. Lush helpings of natural ingredients come together ...

Based on what I hear from you, you have had a habit of going for the most expensive.

It's common to equate expense with quality, but it simply doesn't work that way.

High end mattresses get you more upholstery layers....usually a softer, more luxurious feel.

For someone looking for a firmer feel, top of the line is not the way to go.

 

In the case of Natura Greenspring, even the softest of them, (The Liberty Plush Eurotop), is not all that soft....due to the high quality of the components in their mattresses.

I would like to also point out the Liberty Ultra Plush, which is firmer, with more of a medium...not too firm, not too soft feel.

If you like a firmer feel, you may prefer that one.

If there is a female in the bed with you, I suggest sticking with the Liberty Plush Eurotop model. A woman's sensitive spot is at the hip. The extra cushioning will likely be necessary. 

These mattresses use a pocketed coil unit, which provides firm contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

A side benefit, is not feeling each other move.

If you have any disc related back problems, this support is better than an all latex mattress, which does not provide the push back support needed for a damaged spine.

 

The steel, from which these coils are made, is double tempered for added resiliency and durability.

The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex....and contains NO Memory Foam.

The comfort and support are very long lasting.

 

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

 

But, before you buy anything, it is likely that you could get a number of more years from the mattress you have.

Even though it was made to be a one sided mattress, the underside is perfectly usable and considerably firmer than the top side.

First, flip your mattress and dress it as you normally would.

Tomorrow, you should wake with your back feeling better. 

If you find that to be fine for you, then you need do nothing else.

If you find it a bit stiff to sleep on comfortably, then you can add a 2" Soft Talalay Latex topper to it.

This will soften the surface without sacrificing the underlying firm support.

You could get several more years out of it.

Here is the link to the latex topper...from either EverEden or Pure Bliss

An EverEden Soft All Natural Latex Mattress for Your Son.

Hi Pete,

I have an old Sealy SpringFree latex mattress, which I know they don't make anymore.

I have a special needs son who loves that bed and wants one very much like it. He likes a soft feel.

Can you help me find one?

Thanks, Nicole

 

Hi Nicole,

You are correct. That Sealy Springfree mattress is no longer available.

The latex in your mattress is all synthetic latex. There's nothing wrong with that, but all natural latex is better...and that's what we offer.

The EverEden brand is made in Massachusetts and will ship to you via UPS, directly from the factory.

 

Their 9" model is the most comfortable.

Order both components of the mattress in soft....the 6" Dunlop Latex core and the 3" Talalay Latex top layer...to maximize his comfort.

Here is a link to that mattress:

Mattress to replace my 12 year old Sealy SpringFree Newport Beach Latex Mattress.

Hi Peter,

I last wrote to you back in January. My situation is this.  I have been using a Sealy Springfree Newport Beach Latex Mattress for many years and we like it very much.  

I just built a new house in Myrtle Beach SC and need a king size mattress for that location.  

I am a little leery about buying a mail-order mattress sight unseen so I have a few more questions.

Thanks, Richard

 

1- Is your King Size Ever-Eden Pure Latex Mattress comparable to my Newport Beach?  Actually something just a bit plusher might be nice.

    The 9" model has a nicer feel...being all natural latex. The Beachside was synthetic latex and polyurethane foam.

    Order it with a medium core and a soft top.

2- What are the dimensions of the package the 175 lb. mattress will come in?

     King box is  81” L x 15” W x 15” H and the weight will be approximately 199 lbs.

3- Can you notice a difference between a mattress that has been shrink-wrapped, rolled and boxed for shipping vs. one that has not?

     Not in all latex. Latex springs back to its original shape immediately after opening.

4- Is there a return policy and how would I return it once it has been opened and has assumed full size? (I doubt that this will be necessary, but just in case.)

    The mattress comes with a 20 year non pro-rated manufacturer's warranty. There is no comfort guarantee.

    When dealing with a retailer who offers that, you could easily end up with something someone else had returned....happens all the time.

    Everything we sell is guaranteed to be made factory fresh to fill your order.

5- I will only be using this location as a summer home for now.  I will be there June 11-16, 2017.  Can I be assured of delivery of the mattress and box spring (foundation) during those days?

    I can arrange delivery to fall between those dates.

6- How can I go about arranging purchase and delivery?

    You can order on-line, or call me at 1-856-874-6894 to order by phone. Here is the link to order on line.

A Latex Mattress like the Sealy SpringFree Meadows

Steve writes:

Hi Pete,

I've had a Sealy SpringFree Meadows mattress for over 10 years, and I've been very happy with it.  

I'm in the market for another mattress (notto replace it, the Meadows is still going strong), but of course, the models are all different.  

So I have two questions:

 

1.  What current-model latex matress would be the closest match to the Sealy SpringFree Meadows?

 

2.  Knowing that I've been very happy with the Meadows, are there any alternatives you think I would like better?

 

Thanks, Steve

 

Hi Steve,

Tempurpedic bought Sealy and Stearns & Foster in 2013. When the lines were introduced, they had loaded everything with memory foam...even the latex mattresses.

It was then, we dropped both brands from what we offer.

This sent us to the trade shows to look for higher quality alternatives.

We have two brands to show you.

The more reasonably priced, of the two, ships UPS, which helps keep the cost down.

The brand is EverEden. Their 8" model will be closest to the Meadows, although, the 9" is preferred by most women. We have the 8" in our guest room.

They are made of 100% all natural latex...and nothing else.

Shown here:

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

 

The other in from Natura of Canada...a bit more elaborately made and includes white glove delivery to the bedroom. The Bourdolay in Plush, would be more like the Meadows.

Sealy SpringFree Laguna Beach Latex mattress.

Dan writes:

Hi Pete,

At one time, I had a Sealy SpringFree Laguna Beach Latex mattress.

I loved that mattress. But, I don't have it anymore.

Does Sealy still make that mattress?

What do you have that is similar?

Thanks, Dan

 

Hi Dan,

The latex mattresses that we carry today are all latex...and natural latex. 

The Sealy Springfree Laguna Beach, now a discontinued model, was made of synthetic latex and topped with soft poly foam.

It was extremely comfortable, but had a tendency to develop body impression...due to the poly foam.

There are two that have a similar feel to the Laguna Beach.

Of the two the most luxurious is the "Pure Talalay Bliss Beautiful Model"
