Back Pain and Sore Muscles on a Simmons Beautyrest TruEnergy Bryanna Plush Eurotop Mattress.

Wendy writes:

Hi Pete,

We have a Simmons Beautyrest TruEnergy Bryanna Plush Eurotop mattress manufactured 10/19/12.

I am 5’7” and 135 pounds. My husband is 5’10” and 210 pounds. We are both predominantly side sleepers.  

I now wake up sore through my shoulders, upper, and lower back and am always tired.  

My husband wakes up muscle sore, more so in the lower back.  

If he’s out of town, I wake up less painful because I don’t spend all night rolling towards him as the mattress is indented by his weight.  

What would you recommend?  

Could we flip this mattress and use the latex topper and be okay?  

Should we get a whole new mattress? If so, what would you recommend?  

 

Our previous mattress had inner coil and a pillow top (but before the foam stuff came out).  

It was a great mattress that lasted like 15 years.  

I have been so disappointed in this new mattress, because it wasn’t cheap and hasn’t lasted well at all.  

I’ve been painful and tired for at least a year.  

I also have sleep apnea (mild) during REM sleep. 

The doctor recommended putting a foam wedge between the mattress and the box springs to help, which we did. This mattress was uncomfortable even before that. Now we just slide down the bed all night, too.

We appreciate your help and expertise.

Hi Wendy,

Your current mattress is upholstered with memory foam, which is the source of all your problems.

Your previous mattress had no memory foam, which is why it lasted so long.

 

Flipping your mattress and adding a latex topper is, certainly, an option.

I suggest the Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper...shown here:

However, a new mattress doesn't cost all that much more.

The Adara mattress, by Wolf, uses an individually pocketed coil...the coils made of double tempered steel, 

which will be strong enough for a big man. The upholstery is latex, and contains NO Memory Foam.

The topper on your old mattress is the iffier choice.

How well or how long that will work, depends on the damage the mattress has already incurred. 

 

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

One more thing.

Lose the wedge. It is causing your spine to be misaligned.

Get bed risers, instead...which will prop up the back legs of your bed.

You'll sleep on a tilt for easier breathing, and still maintain the natural alignment of your spine.

Here is a link to show you what they look like.

And while you can buy them online, I find that Big Lots has them for less.

 

 

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.

Simmons TruEnergy Noelle Mattress & Soft Latex Foam Topper.

Kim writes:

Hi,

I recently bought a Queen sized Simmons TruEnergy Noelle from a local retailer.  The bed felt comfortable at the store and I spent a considerable amount of time trying out different mattresses.  I really liked the support and comfort that this mattress offered in the store.  When I got my new mattress it was much more firm than the model in the store.  I called the mattress store and they told me that I should give it some time as there is a “break in period”.  I have been sleeping on the mattress for two weeks now and it is a bit more comfortable, however when I wake up in the morning my neck and shoulders are sore.

My previous mattress was a Spring Air Four Seasons Back Supporter.  This is a pillow top model that is 15-years-old.  My hips used to hurt on this bed.  My hips don’t hurt on the new bed but now I have shoulder and neck pain, which I have never had before.  I am thinking that I will return the mattress to the store.  I am not sure if I will exchange it for ask for a refund.  I was thinking that I would get another pillow top but I have been reading the information on your site that says that pillow tops do not maintain their shape and comfort for long.  Do you have any suggestions for someone like me?  I have considered latex foam but it seems to be really expensive and is likely out of my budget.  I just want to be comfortable without being in pain.

Thank you for any help that you can offer. Kim

Hi Kim,
A queen size 2" soft latex foam topper will run you $349.99. It's the best money you'll ever spend. Add it to the mattress you have and you'll be good to go for many years.

Latex Foam Mattress Toppers and Pillows for neck pain.

Aaron writes:

Hello, 

My son has a Simmons Tru Energy Brielle plush firm.  Do you recommend a latex foam topper as well or should the plush firm be good but still have the support? He is 6 and weighs approximately 58 lbs.

Also my parents are 69 and 68 and are looking for a new mattress and I told them to go thru you. Probably a black Eva with a organic 2 in latex topper correct? Do you have a link to organic latex topper?  They are both under 200 lbs but dad has herniations in his neck and low back as well as a bad shoulder. Mom is great. Any recommendations would be appreciated.  

Aaron

 

 

Hi Aaron,

A latex topper for your son's bed seems unnecessary at this time.

When he gets bigger, say around the age of 12, add a 1.5" layer of Dunlop latex. This will absorb much of his body weight and will extend the comfort life of the mattress....allowing him to use that same mattress until he is grown and gone. It wouldn't hurt to get the latex topper now, but it just isn't necessary yet.

If just using the latex topper and not the cover that comes with it, it's 100% organic from Ever-Eden.

The Pure Latex Bliss all natural toppers are finished in a beautiful organic cotton cover and use a thin layer of wool as a natural fire barrier. These finished latex toppers are also 100% organic.

Here are links to both.

I have an all latex pillow that is made of finely chopped Talalay Latex from pure bliss. They call it a latex/down pillow. It has no down in it, but can be easily manipulated like a down pillow, to fit precisely the way you want around your head and neck. I use one at home for the severe arthritis I have in my neck. It is the only pillow I've ever used that relieves the pain.

I would suggest this for your dad. Here's the link to that.

Simmons Beautyrest TruEnergy Noel mattress

Steve writes:

Hello

I have a Serta Ceremony mattress and  the foam just crushes down and flattens out on me.  I sleep on the side and wonder if the Simmons TruEnergy Noel might support better and give pressure relief without smushing down?

Thank you, Steve

 

Hi Steve,

I suppose you, like most people, view the major "S" brands as being equal. 

The fact is, Serta makes a third rate product...true for the past 30 years.

In other words, almost anything is better than Serta.

When choosing a Simmons, it's important to stay with any of the "firm" choices. Their plush models are always a problem....using too thin a gauge of wire for the coils. The heavier coils in the firm models keep their shape much better. A plush/firm gives you comfort and support. The Brielle plush/firm, is a good choice.

They all wear eventually. But, this Brielle will out perform anything that Serta makes.

Replacement mattress for Beautyrest Lusaka Visco Plush Firm

Amy writes:

Hi Peter,
I emailed you earlier regarding my attempt to replace a Simmons 
Beautyrest Lusaka Visco Plush Firm purchased in 2008 which is the 
perfect mattress as far as I'm concerned. I found that I like the feel 
of the Beautyrest TruEnergy Becca/Adalee but it looks like the TruEnergy 
Brielle is perhaps a step up in quality due to a heavier gauge coil and 
GelTouch foam (unfortunately I can't find anyplace that has it to try it 
out). The price difference is ~$400. Can you comment on whether the 
Brielle feels similar to the Adalee, and if so, whether it's worth the 
price difference for the quality difference? The alternative is the 
World Class Annapolis Luxury Firm which no one seems to have on the 
floor to try (though the Luxury Firm box top version seemed VERY soft to 
me). Thanks to the many changes in the lines I can't even figure out 
whether the World Class vs TruEnergy is a better mattress overall (and 
as you say, the price doesn't help). Thanks for any advice you can give,
Amy

Hi Amy,

Because the coil system is the same in all the Beautyrests, they will all feel similar.

And because the they produce many different models, there will be a lot of similarity

in feel...but different.

They will all feel a bit different from your Lusaka model from 2008, as the lines

have changed 3 times since then.

You can't go wrong with a firmer coil. This provides support that will last longer

than the softer coils.

Keep in mind that you can always soften the surface feel of a mattress that is firmer

than you want. You can't firm up a mattress that is too soft.

It's easy to make a mistake when buying a mattress. Error on the side of firm and

you will always have the ability to tweak it the way you like.

Error on the side of too soft, and you will find yourself stuck.

My favorite of the TruEnergy models is the Brielle. It is a plush/firm, like your old

one. The plush/firm provides that nice balance of firm support and a comfortable

sleeping surface...a combination that suits a good 80% of the buying public. Here's

the link. You can order on line.
