Simmons Beautyrest Hotel Mattress.

Lauren writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I am desperately in need of a new queen size mattress. 

I currently have a sleep number bed that really doesn’t work well. 

When I traveled extensively and I fell in love with the Marriott Hotel Dream Bed.

They told me at the hotel it was a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Bouvet Island Plush.

I have held onto this information for years, because I have literally dreamed of finding a comfortable bed.  

I am a 5’7” 53 year old woman, who is fit and weighs 145 lbs.  

I have a shoulder issue that causes it to be very hard to get a good night’s rest I am hoping with surgical correction in Dec that will resolve itself.

 

That being said I need to find a new mattress.

I saw that you had responded to another inquiry from someone who loved a hotel mattress as well.

Can you provide me with the following?

 

(1)    A mattress recommendation

(2)    Do you have a store I can visit to try out the recommended mattress (I live in NJ)

(3)    If not do you have another store you can recommend who carries this mattress you are recommending?

(4)    Please supply me with the price and delivery and set up details – I would need my old mattress taken away.  

(5)    Do you offer financing or monthly payment terms?

 

Thanks a million, looking forward to hearing what you have to say!

Lauren

 

Good Morning Lauren,

You do have some old information. The mattress you slept on was an older model.

Simmons no longer makes the World Class Series of mattresses.

Since being sold to an investment group, they no longer make a mattress without memory foam upholstery.

 

My recommendation for you, based on your size and what you like, is a mattress that is very similarly made to the Simmons Beautyrest mattress you mentioned....very similar to most basic hotel mattresses.

It is the Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress.

 

UPDATE!…This Wolf Mattress Has Been Discontinued.

 

We are pleased to offer you a higher quality mattress from Eco-Terra. 

This mattress provides the same support with an upgrade in upholstery.

The higher quality upholstery provides greater comfort and longevity.

Upper Back Pain on a Sleep Number Mattress.

Jennifer writes:

Hi Pete,

I'm writing in hopes that you can help me and my husband find a mattress.

He has upper back pain that is aggregated by sleeping on our current, failed Sleep Number bed.

He is 6'2.5" and 198 lbs. He is 40 years old and prefers to sleep on his side.

We are wondering if we need to try a memory foam mattress.

But after chalking up $400 in shipping for the failed sleep number I'm hesitant to buy another ridiculously expensive designer/gimmick bed.

What are your thoughts?! 

Thank you for entertaining my question!

Sincerely, Jennifer 

 

Hi Jennifer,

The problem he is having is caused by the top layer memory foam in the sleep number mattress. 

Buying a memory foam mattress will only take you from bad to worse.

Contrary to all the ads and hype that you've been following, thus far, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

 

A mattress with an individually pocketed coil unit will contour to the shape of the body and maintain the spine's natural alignment. This type of support will relieve his back pain.

I recommend the mattress we sleep on, at home....The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

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

 

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

It's a question of quality....something you don't have now.

A Talalay Latex Topper for a too firm Sleep Number Bed.

Diane writes:

Hi Pete,

I recently purchased a new Twin XL Sleep Number Mattress (very small bedroom).  

The surface is too hard due to the sewn on padding.  

If I want to exchange it for one of their beds with softer padding, I must order a larger bed that won’t fit in my bedroom.  

I’m thinking about ordering a Latex mattress topper.  Possibly a 3 inch Talalay Latex. I weigh 175.  

I sleep on my back and both sides, and am still having pain on both sides from the Sleep Number Bed.

But my back is supported due to the Sleep number settings.  

Do you think the Suite Sleep Talalay Latex would be a good choice?  

I cannot remove the sewn in padding on the Sleep Number bed, so the Latex mattress pad would need to lay on top of it.

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Diane

 

Good Morning Diane,

My wife and I use a Suite Sleep 3" Soft Talalay Latex Mattress Topper on our mattress?

The surface comfort it provides is superbly comfy.

 

The Suite Sleep Soft Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers are made of the highest quality latex available.

Sleep Comfort Mattress has become extremely uncomfortable.

Will writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a split king Sleep Comfort Mattress that's only a few years old.

It has become extremely uncomfortable.

Upon further inspection, after reading your blog posts about this, the memory foam pad under the cover has deteriorated, just as you have noted. They are 3" thick. What would you recommend to replace them?

Thanks, Will

 

Hi Will,

Your problem has an easy fix.

Order 2 - Twin-XL 3" Suite Sleep Soft Vita Talalay or Organic Latex Toppers

When they arrive, replace the memory foam pads with them.

It'll be like a brand new bed that will remain like new a whole lot longer than was provided by the memory foam pads.

Sleep Number Mattress causing back pain.

Hi Pete,

We have a Sleep Number Mattress with their standard foundation and metal frame. 

My husband has a lot of back pain. He had surgery in 2016 at L4/5.

He thinks the bed is causing his pain and I don’t doubt it.  

I have some hip and shoulder pain, and periodic arm numbness but I generally can sleep on anything.

I am 5’2” and weigh 160 and he is 6’ tall and weighs about 250. 

 

We really don’t know where to start with getting an expensive mattress that we won’t be replacing in 2-3 years, but I’ve read your website and I’m convinced that we need something innerspring with a latex topper if that would seem to fit our profile.  It would be nice if it was able to be flipped, and it would also be nice if we could just keep the base system and frame that we have for our sleep number bed.  

Thanks for your advice! 

Kathy & Dan

Hi Kathy and Dan,

The foundation and frame that you have, has no give.

So, it shouldn’t need to be replaced. 

Just check it to make sure that it’s still nice and solid.

 

Our two sided mattresses will work for Kathy, but not recommended for someone Dan’s size.

Let me recommend to you the mattress that my wife and I have.

We are, each, over 200 lbs., and our mattress is now 9 years old and still in excellent condition. I have had a very bad back for 20 years. 

Yet, I sleep and wake without back pain, since having this mattress.

Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

 

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

 

It has pocketed coil support and 3” of Talalay Latex upholstery.

Due to the high quality and resiliency of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

In fact, about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress have gone on to add a soft mattress topper. It is not too soft, by anyone’s standards.

We added a soft topper to ours to further cushion my wife’s sensitive hip.

 

I don’t recommend getting a topper right away.

I suggest waiting until you’ve had this mattress for a week before deciding if further softening of the sleep surface is even necessary.

It takes about a week for two things to happen…for a new mattress to loosen up, as a new mattress is a little stiff in the beginning…and for your bodies to get used to their new home. The second part of that can even be a little painful for the first couple of nights…as your bodies are forced back into their proper alignment.

 

White Glove delivery is free.

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

Your mattress will be freshly made to fill your order and can take a few weeks, or so, to arrive.

Sleep Number Mattress not working for a 450 pound woman.

Ginger writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am currently sleeping on a Sleep Number Mattress.  

To me, it feels like I am just dealing with it, like when I go camping.

It is NOT comfortable, as the salesman promised it would be.  

I'm a very large woman, weighing close to 450 pounds.

I have a frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and severe osteoarthritis. 

I sleep alone but I also have positional vertigo, so I sleep catty-corner so I never feel like I am falling.

This sleep number bed is certainly not working!  

I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Ginger

 

Hi Ginger,

Not only is a Sleep Number the wrong mattress for someone your size, it’s the wrong mattress for most people. 

An air mattress is like a waterbed, relying on displacement rather than providing real support.

 

You're going to need a mattress strong enough to support your weight and provide proper spinal support, which you're not getting with an air bag. And you'll also need surface comfort for your other issues that the memory foam that's on top of that air bag is also not providing.

It's a tall order and not something you'll get with any mattress alone.

This will require a combination of products.

 

First, a mattress firm enough and strong enough to hold you and provide the support your spine requires.

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm...a very firm mattress with heavy gauge coils.

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper.

Pure Latex is and has been the most durable, most resilient upholstery material for the past 100 years.

Latex Foam is hypoallergenic.

You Should Know 

 

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

A new topper for a Sleep Number Bed.

Jessica writes:

 

Good Afternoon,

I think the 3" topper on our sleep number bed is causing us to sleep hot and I think it's aged and not as comfortable as it was when we bought it.  

It is zippered in to the top portion of the bed so we wouldn't require a cover with the topper.

Which of your toppers would be best to replace it with?  

Jessica

 

Hi Jessica,

The topper in your bed is memory foam.

Replace it with 3” of soft latex and you love the feel.

It doesn’t allow you to sink and it sleeps cool.

Only memory foam sleeps hot.

 

The Suite Sleep All Natural Pure Vita Talalay is a bit more luxurious feeling than the Organic Dunlop.

Both are plenty comfy and way better than memory foam.
