Hi Pete,

I'm interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

I'm especially interested in their Ultra Plush model...the one you and your wife sleep on at home.

I'm replacing a 10 year old Simmons Beautyrest. Will I need to replace the foundation? It seems fine.

How long is the wait time for these mattresses?

Thanks, Nicole

 

Hi Nichole,

Here are the links with all the information about those mattresses.

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

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

Delivery is free.

The usual wait time is approximately 4 weeks.

 

You’ll need to replace the foundation, as well. 

Using an old foundation with any new mattress will void the warranty of the mattress. 

It's a lot to risk for so little savings.

 

Thanks, Pete

Time to replace a Simmons Beautyrest Plush Mattress.

Robin writes:

 

Hello Pete,

My husband and I are ready to purchase a new mattress.  

Our favorite mattress in the house was inherited from our grandmother. 

It was a Simmons Beautyrest Expedition Plush Mattress. It's time to replace it.

We read your blog recommendation for a modern equivalent. 

But before purchasing, I wanted to share some of our needs and see if the equivalent is the best fit.

 

I am 5’4” and 120 pounds.  My husband is 5’10” and weighs 175.  We mostly sleep on our stomach or side.  

I’ve been having issues with pressure points from my hips.  My husband needs firms back support. 

Our bed frame is beautiful but only provides a wood frame around the edges of the mattress and three horizontal wood slats.  For our current mattress we added a vertical two by four to the center of the frame to provide an extra touch point with the floor.

 

We appreciate your guidance!

Thank you, Robin

 

Hi Robin,

At your sizes, the Wolf Tulah Plush Eurotop Mattress is the perfect choice...providing excellent support and comfort in any sleeping position. This mattress uses the same type of coil system and support as the Simmons Beautyrest. 

The upholstery layers are also similar to those used in that Beautyrest mattress.

Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress.

Paul writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just finished reading your response regarding replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress and really appreciate the information you provide.

https://themattressexpert.com/2018/03/07/replacing-and-old-simmons-beautyrest-world-class-mattress/

Here are my questions:

 

I would like to pursue buying a queen size mattress but have difficulty knowing which would suit a back sleeper: Greenspring Liberta Firm, Luxury Firm, Plush or Ultra Plush. 

 

You have a great blog and website and you have done a great job educating me about mattresses 

(no memory foam for me ever)!

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you kindly, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

All 4 Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses provide the same firm support. 

The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

The Ultra Plush is what my wife and I sleep on at home.

I have a very bad back, yet I sleep and wake without back pain.

Our mattress is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, and the Black Napa pillowtop mattress.

Jeff writes:

 

Hi Pete. 

I have the same question as the one in the post, below. 

I have the choice of a Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, and the black Napa pillowtop mattress.

I'm looking for a medium firm to more firm option. 

The Napa was recommended by you but looks to be on the softer side? 

Thanks, Jeff

https://themattressexpert.com/2018/01/21/which-of-these-3-simmons-beautyrest-mattresses/

 

 

Hi Jeff,

That post is more than a few years old.

And while the Black Series has the strongest coil unit of all the Beautyrests, the memory foam upholstery used in every model, will cause all of their mattresses to wear quickly.

 

The Napa was not a recommendation, but the answer to a simple question.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing simple about buying a mattress.

 

All of the name brands have been sold to investors.

All name brand mattresses are now made for high profit.

The quality that used to be their hallmark no longer exists.

 

If you would like a recommendation, I’ll need your stats.

(Sizes, ages, physical ailments of the people using the mattress.)

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

I'm in western Canada. 

We are larger people, not obese, in our 50s, with no real physical problems, other than some minor back pain.

We like a firm mattress with a comfortable top, like a pillowtop.

I look forward to your recommendation.

Thanks, Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

The pillowtop part of a pillowtop mattress is the first thing to show wear...especially one filled with memory foam.

My recommendation is for The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system, which is also used in the Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than in the mattresses, about which you originally inquired.

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

Far superior to memory foam...like night and day.

Delivery is Free anywhere in the continental US and Canada.

And, you won't be charged your Canadian Sales Tax.

 

  

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper. It's been WONDERFUL!

Diane writes:

Hi Pete,

I ordered a Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress from you, about a decade ago.

We also bought the 2" latex topper and waterproof mattress protector, too.

We followed your recommendation and it's been WONDERFUL! 

But it's a queen size and we'd like to get a king size. 

 

Because we LOVE this one, we want to replace that bed with something similar.

I wasn't able to find that same mattress on your website.

Can you send me links to what you're recommending today?

Thank you, Diane

 

Hi Diane,

I'm so pleased to hear that you're still enjoying your mattress.

My wife and I had that same sleep system combination at that time.

We kept it for a few years and then gave it to our sone and his wife.

They, like you, are still enjoying theirs.

 

Since then, Simmons was sold to an investment group which also bought Serta.

Back then, Simmons was using a higher grade of memory foam that didn't off gas.

Since being sold, a much cheaper and toxic memory foam is being used.

That mattress with a latex topper, today, would not prevent the chemical off gassing.

And since the memory foam is also less dense, it won't last as long.

 

It had been our habit to home test mattresses for a few years and then pass them along to family.

The last one we tested, the one after the one you have, has been such a great mattress, we decided to hang on to it. It is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of use weighing more than 200 lbs. And, despite having a very bad back, I sleep and wake without back pain.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest...individually pocketed coils, that contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

What's more, the upholstery is 3" of Soft Natural Talalay Latex....NO Memory Foam.

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

The coil count is higher and the latex upholstery is far more resilient.

As a result, it's not a too soft mattress...despite the "Ultra Plush" designation.

In fact, only about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress go on to add a separate topper.

 

This is the mattress I'm recommending for you.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress / Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Pillowtop.

Hello Pete,

Is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress a close match to the Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop?

I am a bigger guy and was wondering if your Ultra Plush would hold up well under my weight?

Thanks for your assistance, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are far superior to anything Simmons makes….ever since Simmons was sold to an investment group.

(That same investment group also bought Serta).

Simmons uses raw steel to make their coils…not tempered at all.

The steel used to make the coils in the Natura Greenspring is double tempered and the coil count is higher.

The quality of the upholstery is also more resilient than what Simmons uses. 

Natura uses Natural Latex vs. the Memory Foam used by Simmons.

 

The first thing to show wear is a pillowtop, which is why we offer no pillowtop mattresses.

My wife and I sleep on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

We are, each, over 200 lbs. our mattress is 9 years old and still in like new condition.

Replacing an old two sided, flippable Simmons Beautyrest mattress.

Lucy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My 12 year old daughter has an old two sided, flippable Simmons Beautyrest mattress, that she loves.

We are replacing her bed, going from a twin to a full size, and she wants the same exact mattress.

Upon doing some research, that mattress is no longer being made.

What do you recommend that she will like as well?

Thanks, Lucy

 

Hi Lucy,

Not even from Simmons, is that mattress available.

Since being sold to investors, all Simmons mattresses are now upholstered with memory foam.

Her old Beautyrest has no memory foam in it...which is why she has enjoyed it for so long.

The Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Plush is extremely close to her old Beautyrest.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices:

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

 

The individually pocketed coils provide the same support your daughter is used to.

The upholstery material in this mattress is the same type that was used in her old Beautyrest.

The support is already firm, regardless of how you order it.

This mattress is plenty comfy and won't be too soft.

 

Shipping is free

 

 

Thanks, Pete

My wife and I need to buy our third mattress in the last eleven months.

Mike writes:

 

Hello Pete,

My wife and I need to buy our third mattress in the last eleven months.

Doing research on why this is happening is when I found your website.  

I agree with what I've read on your website that mattresses today are junk and don't last.  

 

I injured my back when I was younger and purchased my first new mattress.

It was a Simmons Beautyrest my wife and I got when we got married in 2000.  

We loved that mattress and when it finally felt worn out, a few years ago.

So, naturally, we replaced it with another Simmons Beautyrest, which lasted only four years.

We replaced that with a Serta, 2.5 years ago, hoping for greater longevity.  

Then we had to replace it that one last Christmas with one that was, amazingly enough even worse.  

The store we bought it from gave us a new one in February that I'm having a hard time with.  

Out of desperation, we chose the memory foam option on this last one.  What a huge mistake!  

Thanks to you, I now know why.

 

What would you recommend for a 48 year old, 6' 6" tall, 290 lb. adult male and a 5' 5" 135 lb., 45 year old female to sleep comfortably like we did in 2000?

Thanks for the help, we really appreciate it!

Sincerely, Mike

 

Hi Mike,

The thing about the Simmons Beautyrests, that make them such comfortable mattresses, are the individually pocketed coils, which provides contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the spine.

The thing that makes them such a bad mattresses, today, is the memory foam upholstery.

 

In order to most closely mimic your old Beautyrest, with an eye on supporting a man your size long term,

my recommendation is a good strong firm mattress for support and a softer latex topper for surface comfort.

The Wolf Jessica Mattress uses the strongest individually pocketed coils available, with NO Memory Foam.

Click on this link to view specifications and prices for that mattress:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress-2/the-jessica/

The latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, which will enhance the lifespan of the mattress.

The recommended Latex Topper for your size is the Suite Sleep 2" Organic Dunlop Latex in Soft.

Those latex toppers, shown here:

Replacing a 2009 Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress and Foundation.

Sharrie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress and Foundation on 9/7/2009 for $2869.  

We have known we've needed to replace it for a while, but I want this same exact same mattress.

I have not been able to find anything like it.  Do you have a recommendation?  

I’m still searching your site. Thanks for putting it together.

Sharrie

 

Hi Sharrie,

You can't find it because there is no such thing as that exact same mattress available today.

Simmons has been sold to investors, who are using memory foam upholstery.

Your mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why you still have it, after all these years.

Today’s Simmons mattresses are designed to require frequent replacing.

 

The good news is that you can get very close to mimicking that mattress.

Using the same type of coil system as Simmons, but using stronger coils and upholstered with natural, plant based polyurethane foam. (Yours has petro-chemical based polyurethane)

 

That mattress is the Wolf Jessica, which will mimic the support you've been used to.

I need to replace an old flippable Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress.

Glen writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I need to replace an old flippable Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress.

We've been shopping and can't find anything like it.

A Google search led us to you. Now, I know why. They don't make it anymore.

After reading many of your blog posts, I feel confident that you can help find what I want.

I await your recommendation.

Thanks, Glen

 

Hi Glen,

The Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Flippable Mattress has the same type of coil system as in the Simmons Beautyrest that you have. So, you can expect the same kind of support that you’ve been used to.

It’s a 12” thick mattress. I recommend getting it in plush, which isn’t all that soft.

Click on this link to view specifications and pricing:

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

To achieve that nice surface feel of the pillow top, I recommend adding a removable mattress topper. 

These Magniflex Mattress Toppers are very comfortable, and organic.

https://themattressexpert.com/magniflex-mattress-toppers/

You’ll also need to replace your box spring.
