A Mattress with Motion Reduction, DDD Pain, Allergies.

Adrienne writes:

Hi Pete,

I have a lot of sleep issues and need help choosing the right mattress. 

I've been an insomniac for more than 25 years. 

I am the lightest sleeper on the face of the Earth! 

If my boyfriend slightly moves a foot, I wake. 

Also, I have degenerative discs in my low back and if a mattress is not firm enough, my lower back kills the next day. 

I prefer to sleep on my stomach, but I toss throughout the night because of my back. I also have severe airborne allergies and my doctors have recommended that I get a new mattress and encase it in a product that keeps allergens and critters from entering and staying in the mattress. Can you recommend a product? In the 3 years I've been with my boyfriend I've only been able to successfully sleep with him when we stay at very nice hotels on very nice king beds. This is hard on a relationship when you can't sleep in the same bed! So, I have a lot of issues, please give me some recommendations for an appropriate king size bed. 

Thank you! Adrienne

 

Hi Adrienne,

 

Sleep & Beyond Zipper-On Waterproof Mattress Protector / Encasement.

https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/sleep-beyond-organic-cotton-waterproof-mattress-encasement-10-14-/6?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true

Most hotels have mattresses using an individually pocketed coil system. With the coils moving independently from one another, it greatly reduces motion transfer.

A mattress with that coil unit and upholstered with pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex, which adds to motion reduction, provides comfort that doesn’t allow you to sink, and produces No Chemical off gassing…is the best you can do to address all of your concerns.

 

We specialize in selling this type of mattresses.

We have 3 options for you.

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium or Medium Firm.

This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial Period.

This is the mattress we have at home, designed for heavy people.

AND…

You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.

The mattress won’t feel or wear as it should due to weak spots that develop in an old foundation.

And, doing so will void the warranty of any mattress.

If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.

 

The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.

It sleeps cool and works well.

A Cover for My New Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Hello Pete,

Does my new Sealy Posturepedic mattress need a certain kind of mattress cover?

Thank you, Shirley

 

Hi Shirley,

All mattresses should have a waterproof mattress protector to prevent perspiration from seeping into the upholstery layers.

Moisture breaks down the resiliency, causing premature wear.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will enhance its longevity.

Here are the ones we use at home.

The organic cotton protector sleeps cool.

The myProtector is quilted and sleeps a little warm, which we use during the colder months.

Thanks, Pete - TME

Mattress Care & Maintenance

Mattress Care & Maintenance 

There’s no question about it. If you take care of your mattress properly, it will wear slower and retain its comfort longer. 

 

1. Protect it from moisture.

 

Using a Waterproof Mattress Protector is essential for preventing moisture from seeping into the upholstery layers.

Keeping your upholstery materials clean and dry will help prevent them from compressing and retaining your body’s odor.

 

There are many mattress protectors on the market.

Here’s a link to a couple of the ones that we offer on our website.

They are the ones we use at home.

1. Rotate/Flip it on a regular basis.

 

“Most of your weight is at one end of the mattress.”

“Sleeping partners are often different weights.”

 

These are the main reasons why your mattress will wear unevenly and become uncomfortable much too quickly,  if you do not rotate/flip your mattress on a regular basis from the time it’s new.

 

One sided mattresses are rotated.

Two sided mattresses are flipped.

 

All of this is nothing new. 

This procedure has always been the industry standard.

 

Once a month for the first year, once every three months thereafter.

It's important to do all this starting when the mattress is new. If you wait until it shows wear, it's too late to be effective.

 

Special notes:

Two sided mattresses should be flipped, side to side and head to foot on a rotating bases for maximum results.

 

King size mattresses often develop a “hump up the middle”.

Since most people sleep farther apart on a king size mattress, the center remains like new while each begins to wear. 

The hump up the middle is, “the nature of the beast“.

Adding to the problem is the foundation, which is usually reinforced up the center of the bed.

There is a solution that will reduce the effects.

 

This trick only works with a standard king size mattress.

A standard king is almost square…close enough that it works.

Rotate your king size mattress 1/4 turn.

Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector or Encasement.

Alice writes:

Hi Pete,

I’m looking for either an Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector or Encasement? How do I know which is better for my needs?

Thanks, Alice 

 

Hi Alice,

For the purpose of protecting your mattress, keeping it clean and dry, the 5 sided protector is all you need.

If there’s something in your mattress that you don’t want to get out, or if your getting a used mattress where you don't know what might be inside, then use the 6 sided encasement.

If getting an encasement, you’d benefit from using the protector, as well.

The mattress protector is easy to remove for laundering.

It will prevent you from having to remove the encasement for laundering, as getting it on and off can be a bit of a struggle.

Here’s a link to both, from Sleep & Beyond

You Should Know 

 

Using an old box spring to support any new mattress will cause premature wear and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

A waterproof mattress protector will extend the life of a mattress by keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry.

What do you recommend for a mattress cover to block out the off gassing of memory foam?

Hi Pete, 

What do you recommend for a mattress cover to block out the off gassing of memory foam? 

I have developed a severe allergic reaction to it.

Thanks, Irene

 

Hi Irene,

The only thing that I have that might help is a Sleep & Beyond Waterproof Mattress Encasement.

Shown here:

https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements.html#/

 

 

I’m a bit dubious about the success of this, as water molecules are bigger than gas molecules. 

It’s the off gassing of the toxic chemicals used to make memory foam that is adversely affecting you.

My recommendation is to get rid of that mattress.

The memory foam off gassing presents a health hazard to every breathing being in your home.

Help! Bed Bugs in our Mattress!

Jim writes:

 

 

Hi Pete,

I need your Help!

After returning from our annual Fall vacation, we now have Bed Bugs in our mattress!

It's a fairly new, expensive mattress, so I can't just throw it out.

What can I do, short of filling the room with toxic chemicals.

My wife is freaking out!

Any help is appreciated.

Jim

 

Hi Jim,

The first thig to do is to remain calm. This is not an insurmountable problem.

Bed bugs die quickly when faced with high heat.

The next thing to do is to strip your mattress and get out your wife's hair dryer.

Turn it up to high and give the mattress a good going over with the heat from the hair dryer.

 

I suggest getting a mattress encasement for your mattress.

You'll want the peace of mind that any remaining little critters that are deep in the mattress won't be able to get out.

What remains will eventually die off.

We carry a Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Encasement that comes in 3 thicknesses.

Shown here:

https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements.html#/

 

 

When the encasement arrives, give your mattress another good going over with the heat from the hair dryer before putting it on. You won't want to have to take it off to lauder it, so use a waterproof mattress protector, which you can lauder easily.
