Platform Bed and a Latex Topper for a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex Mattress

Hi Pete,

I found your website while researching the internet for information on our current mattress.  

We purchased a Sealy SpringFree Meadowcrest Latex mattress, more than 10 years ago.

 

This mattress is very heavy and we are looking to purchase a platform bed that will be strong enough to hold it.  

I was hoping you would have an idea of how much this mattress weighs.

 

Also, while reading your question and answer section, I noticed that you recommended flipping the mattress.  

Can this mattress be flipped?  It would be great if we could continue to enjoy it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Karen and Ken

 

 

Hi Karen and Ken,

That mattress is about 200 Lbs.

Be sure that any platform bed you buy has all the needed center supports.

 

Yes, you can continue to use and enjoy that mattress.

They were topped with plush poly foam, which is the part that wears.

Flipping the mattress brings the latex core to the top.

The latex core is very firm...too firm for comfort.

Add a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper to the flip side. 

It will become very comfortable and last for many years.

Looking to Replace a Sealy SpringFree Beachside Latex Mattress.

Tom writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I bought a Sealy SpringFree Beachside latex mattress from you, quite a few years ago. 

When I found it to be too plush, I turned it upside down (based on your recommendation). 

I have really loved that firmness all these years.

 

Now that I'm looking to replace it,  I read that this is mattress no longer available.  

Is there something like the underside of this Beachside mattress? 

I found the Beachside itself to be too soft - but have really enjoyed the hard side, once we turned it over.

Any recommendations?

Thank you, Tom

What is Similar to the Sealy SpringFree Plush Latex Mattress?

Mandy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I currently have a Sealy SpringFree 'plush' latex mattress. 

I can't find what the similar is now.

Can you help at all?

I googled mattress help and your website was top of the list!

Cheers, Mandy

 

Hi Mandy,

Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic and now use memory foam in all of their mattresses.

We had been a Sealy retailer up til then.

We stopped selling them because of the toxic chemical memory foam.

 

Here is a link to the Natura line of Natural Latex mattresses.

Natura Tropical Plush Eurotop, to Replace a Sealy SpringFree Fairway Dunes Latex Mattress.

Hi Pete,

I currently have a queen size Sealy SpringFree 100% latex core named Fairway Dunes. 

Is there a similar current model you would recommend. 

Not sure if it was considered a firm or plush or what, but it has served me well. 

Thank you, Marie

Hi Marie,

Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013. Shortly after, they added memory foam to all of their mattresses.

The Fairway Dunes was a plush pillowtop, consisting of a synthetic latex core and topped with polyurethane foam.

The mattress that best matches the initial feel, is made entirely of Natural Talalay Latex.

That would be The Natura of Canada Tropical Plush Eurotop Latex Mattress.

Here is a link to that line of mattresses.. We offer a discount on the prices shown @ checkout.

Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree River Crest Latex Mattress.

Jean writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I found you online and am hoping you can help me order a Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree River Crest queen latex mattress.

I bought one in 2009 and have it since. I would like another one, but am unable to find it and have been told was changed.

I'm told that it's available with a  Stearns and  Foster, but can't find that either.  

Can you help?

Thanks so much!

Jean 

 

Hi Jean,

Quite right on all counts. The entire Sealy/S&F latex line was changed after those brands were purchased by Tempurpedic.

That mattress was comprised of "Smart Latex", which is synthetic latex...and layers of poly foam on top.

Today, their S&F latex mattresses are laced with memory foam, which greatly reduced the quality.  

Also, the memory foam off gasses the toxic chemicals, from which it's made.

 

We offer all latex mattresses, with no poly foam and no memory foam.

These mattresses are made by Pure Talalay Bliss, which has been the leading manufacturer of latex mattresses since the 1940s..

I would suggest their "Nutrition" model as an appropriate substitute for the River Crest....the closest in feel to the River Crest.

Here is the link to that mattress.

Talalay Bliss Natural Latex Mattresses | The Mattress Expert Sleep Deeply and Wake Rested Pure Talalay BLISS is the premier manufacturer of Talalay Latex..

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.
