I need to make my old mattress more comfortable.

Hi Pete,

I need to make my old mattress more comfortable.

Even though it's old, it's in great condition. It's just too firm.

I used to like it that way, but with age, I find that I need extra cushioning.

After reading some of your blog posts, I believe soft mattress topper is the way to go.

Can you send me a link to your selection of mattress toppers?

Thanks, Evan

 

Hi Evan,

Here is a link to our selection of mattress toppers:

Shipping is Free.

 

If you continue to shop, be sure to avoid memory foam and latex imported from China.

Both will wear quickly and prove to be a waste of money.

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

We recently bought a Tempurpedic Mattress. We HATE it!!

Steve writes:

Hi Pete,

We recently bought a Tempurpedic Mattress. We HATE it!!

My wife had bad hip pain after 2 nights, and I have low back pain.

 

I thought I knew what I was doing, until I came across your site in a search for reviews.

I must have read over 100 posts with some similar to mine.

And while I think I have an idea what you would recommend, I'm still not sure.

So, I will provide my specifics and humbly ask for your recommendation.

 

Stats:

Me: Mid 50's, 6'1" Weight is currently 275 lbs.

I have low back pain. I do have a herniated disc.

 

Spouse: Mid 50's, 5'7" ~130-140 lbs.

She has no known issues, other than hip pain.

 

We are both primarily side sleepers.

 

I am looking for a long term solution.

From what I've read, I'm guessing the Brolynn Two-Sided Mattress.

Would I need to ass a soft latex topper to that?

 

Thanks, Steve

 

Hi Steve,

Good Guess!

The topper question is answered after you've had your new mattress for about a week.

The Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress in Plush is supportive and comfortable.

My concern is for your wife's hip.

It may not be soft enough for a female side sleeper with a sensitive hip.

But, only time will tell.

 

Get the mattress first and then decide if adding a Soft Latex Topper is needed.

What's the difference between the two types of Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Toppers?

Larry writes:

Hi Pete, 

What's the difference between the two types of Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Toppers?  

Keep in mind we have the queen pure bliss mattress and the pure bliss plush topper.

We want this to be as close in comfort to what we have. 

The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex Topper comes in soft only and their Dunlop comes in extra soft.  

Are these similar in comfort? Are they made at the same place? 

Why would one be extra soft and the other soft?   

Is this because of how they are made? Are both the same material?  

Do both either of these create heat?

Trying to make the right decision.

Thanks, Larry

 

Hi Larry,

In comparing the comfort of the Suite Sleep Soft Vita Talalay to the Extra Soft Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers, the difference is small, but noticeable.

Talalay having a more luxurious feel than Dunlop, is the best way to describe the difference.

The Talalay process has a couple extra steps during manufacturing, over the Dunlop process, which accounts for that more luxurious feeling and the difference in price.

Talalay doesn't have quite as dense a feeling as the Dunlop.

Both are comfortable, with the Talalay being a bit more so.

Neither of them sleep hot. Only memory foam does that.

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.

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 Wolf Adrian...a very firm mattress with heavy interlocking 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.

Dunlop vs. Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers

Kirk writes:

Hi Pete,

You often recommend Latex Mattress Toppers.
The topper I saw you recommend uses Dunlop vs. Talalay. 

I was initially reluctant to go to Dunlop. 

However, some reviews stress Dunlop, while others stress Talalay. 

Could you please send me the info for the Dunlop Latex Mattress Toppers? 

Thank you very much, Kirk

 

Hi Kirk,

The debate about Dunlop vs. Talalay is an old one, going back to when Dunlop was not available in Soft.

That debate being Dunlop is more durable, while Talalay is more comfortable.

That debate only applies to Firm Dunlop compared to Soft Talalay

Here’s a link to the Suite Sleep Pure Organic Latex Toppers.

Dunlop and Talalay...where the Dunlop is also available in Soft.

Both in soft will wear about the same. Both are Hypoallergenic.

All of these are the highest quality latex on the planet.

What is the difference between Dunlop Latex and Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers?

Lyle writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

What is the difference between Dunlop Latex and Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers?

Thanks, Lyle

 

Hi Lyle,

Both are available, generally, in a variety of softness levels.

Soft Talalay is the softest.

Soft Dunlop is not quite as soft, but Dunlop is a little more durable than Talalay.

But here, again, like the difference in comfort, the difference in longevity is small.

 

But all latexes are not equal in quality.

Talalay and Dunlop Latex that's made in China include fillers that greatly reduce the price and longevity.

There is also blended latex available, which is mostly synthetic…good, but not as good...and not as soft.

These Talalay and Dunlop Latexes from Suite Sleep are pure, 100% all natural latex.

They are the highest quality available....anywhere!

A Latex Topper to make an older mattress softer and more comfortable.

Jane writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an older, well made mattress that's still in great shape.

But I'm older too, and I need to make it softer and more comfortable.

Which latex mattress topper would you recommend that will give me comfort at the surface?

Thank you for your blog, which is where I learned that a topper is all I need, and NOT a new mattress.

Jane

 

Hi Jane,

It's gratifying to know that my efforts on our blog had been of value to you.

The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Organic Dunlop, and the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers will do a great job of providing surface comfort. The Vita Talalay is the softest choice.

A Latex Mattress Topper from 2015.

David writes:

 

Hi Peter,

I bought a latex mattress topper, from you, back in 2015. 

Its worked great but is starting to disintegrate. Little pieces are falling off of it. Is this normal? 

If so, can you look at my order and see which one I bought? I may need a new one. It has holes in it. 

Thanks, David

 

Hi David,

Your latex topper was made by EverEden, a company who had their latex supply line badly disrupted during the earlier days of the pandemic. They no longer make latex toppers.

The one you have is 100% Pure All-Natural Latex.

 

We have since found another manufacturer, also with 100% Pure All-Natural Latex.

But this time, it'll come with an organic cotton cover. You won't have to worry about pieces breaking off.

The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper will be what to get.

Pure Bliss or Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Topper.

Betsy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

After reading some of your blog posts, I see you often recommend a latex mattress topper.

Your website offers Pure Bliss and Suite Sleep. What's the difference? Why one over the other?

And, what about the latex toppers I see online for a lot less cost?

Thanks, Betsy

 

Hi Betsy,

The Pure Bliss latex toppers are made of a blended latex, (70% Synthetic-30% Natural).

There's nothing wrong with synthetic latex, as it is a molecular clone of natural latex.

Pure Bliss costs less because of it. It's an excellent value.

Unfortunately, Pure Bliss was hit hard by the pandemic, and are taking several weeks to ship.

 

Suite Sleep makes a 100% Pure Organic Latex topper, which is the highest quality latex on the planet.

And, they have it on hand and can ship within a week's time.

 

Cheap latex is made in China, where they add fillers to the mix when processing their latex.

The end result is a latex topper that lasts about 6 months...a terrible value.

The Pure Bliss and Suite Sleep Latex Mattress Toppers remain comfortable for many years....far less expensive than Chinese latex in the long run. There's no substitute for quality.
