Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain After Multiple Mattresses. Please Help!

Kate writes:
 
Hi Pete,
We are in need a of new mattress. 
We have been through multiple mattresses over the past several years. 
I like to fall asleep on my side but often wake up laying on my back.  My husband is a side/back sleeper. 
I am 5'5" @ 130 lbs. My husband is 5'10" @ 175 Lbs.
 
We stayed at my parents for 3-4 days and I slept in their guest bedroom which has an old Simmons Beautyrest mattress.
I had NO pain at all in my neck, back or shoulders. 
So we are trying to figure out what mattress and/or topper would help us.  
I go to a chiropractor, as well as the massage therapist, to get the knots out of my shoulders, upper back and neck. 
 
I sit at a computer for work and am sure that is what contributes to my issues. 
If I could get a good night sleep, that may help with the daily wear. 
I use ice, heat and ortho oil to help with the pain. I wake up with pain. 
I want to be able to sleep well and give my muscles and joints a break. 
Please help! 
Thanks, Kate


Hi Kate,
Spinal alignment, pressure point relief and muscle relaxation are key to a good night's sleep.
Everything you've tried and almost everything out there is geared to providing these things for far too short a time.
Now, I will show you how to get all that and have it last for many years.
 
You were on the right track with the Beautyrest. But, your parents' mattress is old, and Beautyrests aren't made as well today.
Today, they are all upholstered with memory foam, which is designed to cause frequent replacing.
The key to longevity is a latex topper. Latex is and has been the very best upholstery material for nearly a century.
Adding a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper to a Luxury Firm Simmons Beautyrest mattress will provide longevity that the mattress alone does not have.
 
The Beautyrest mattresses use individually pocketed coils that move independently from one another. 
(Few other pocketed coil systems offer this kind of independent movement of the coils).
Simmons pioneered this technology and it has remained the best of them since the 1920s.
 
It's the independent movement of the coils that provides contouring support that maintains proper spinal alignment.
It's the Natural Talalay Latex Topper that provides surface comfort which will remain like new for many years...and resists body impressions.
 
At your sizes, I recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm.
Shown here:
0005101_simmons-beautyrest-platinum-gibson-grove-luxury-firm_300

Add to that, a 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper, which will relieve your pressure points and relax your muscles.
Together, they provide an excellent night's sleep that will relieve your pain, night after night, and for many years to come.
Shown here:

Aligning your head and neck with your spine is key to relieving neck pain.
Down pillows do a good job of that, but for as long as they last. But, they tend to flatten out rather quickly.
Instead, use a pillow made of finely chopped latex. 
The latex will last a very long time and the finely chopped latex will behave as a down pillow does.
The all-natural Latex/Down pillow, shown here, will do the job of relieving neck pain on a long term basis.
Shown here:

 
High quality bedding products are an investment in your quality of life...a direct result of a good night's sleep.
The one thing that reduces performance and longevity, more than any other thing, is moisture. 
The greatest and most common source of moisture, is perspiration.
Over the course of a night's sleep, you perspire quite a lot. 
You need to keep that perspiration from penetrating the mattress.
Any while there are plenty of waterproof mattress protectors on the market, almost all of them cause you to sleep hot.
We have available, an all natural, organic waterproof mattress protector that truly sleeps cool.
Here is is link to that item.
Gotcha covered mattress-protector-organic-main_5

These items, purchased once, will put an end to your revolving door mattress buying for, at least, the next decade.


The mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes Removal of your Old Mattress.
The Latex Topper, Pillow and mattress protector arrive via UPS.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

 


Thanks, Pete

Can the EverEden latex toppers be used on any mattress?

Nicole writes:
Questions
 
Hi Pete,
Can the EverEden latex toppers be used on any mattress?  
Or, do they only go on the mattress sets that are sold through your website?
Thank you, Nicole
 
Hi Nicole,
A latex mattress topper can be used with any mattress on the market.
Which topper, will depend on what you want to achieve.
Most people will buy a latex topper to soften the surface of a mattress that is too firm, in which case, the 2" soft Talalay topper does the optimum job.
You can also buy a firm topper if your mattress is too soft.
The Dunlop toppers are better for support than comfort.
People with memory foam mattresses, which provide neither support nor comfort for very long, will flip their mattresses over for the firm support they need and add a soft Talalay Latex topper for surface comfort...realizing years more use from an otherwise useless mattress.
Here is the link to the latex toppers.

An All Latex Mattress for Morbidly Obese People.

Hi Pete,

I'm hoping you can help me. From what I've read on your blog, I'm confident that you are among the few who can.
My wife and I are rather large people..."plus- size" is the gentle word for it. 
Morbidly obese would be a more accurate term for it.
We run between 350 and 400 pounds, fluctuating some, depending on which day we step on the scale.
We are in our late 30's with no real health problem, yet.
 
Our major problem is in finding a mattress that we don't have to replace every few months.
The sales people at the stores are always eager to claim that whatever mattress they want to sell, will do the job. 
They don't.
I now feel that every word that comes out of their mouths is nothing but lies. It's worse than buying a used car.
 
You've mentioned latex mattresses in some of your posts. 
And after reading about them on your website, I believe it's the way to go.
My question is, which one?
We would so appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks, Lawrence
 
 
Hi Lawrence,
I appreciate your vote of confidence. It's good that you've been reading, and you are certainly on the right track. 
Latex has been the most durable mattress material for the last 100 years. Nothing else comes close.
I have family in your weight range and they, too, have an all latex mattress.
Nothing else will do the job over the long term.
EverEden Latex Mattresses are made of Pure, All Natural Latex, which is the best on the market.
They are also and excellent value, due to being shipped via UPS.
Also, the EverEden Latex Mattresses are customizable, to suit any weight range.
I recommend their 8" model...consisting of a Firm 6" Vytex Dunlop Latex Core and a Medium 2" Vytex Dunlop Latex top layer.
The reason for this recommendation is purely for the sake of durability.
Your comfort is another issue. If you find yourselves comfortable on this the way it is, so much the better.
If, on the other hand, you need a softer sleeping surface, then it's better to achieve this with something that can be easily replaced without having to replace the whole mattress.
So, for the sake of added surface comfort, add an EverEden 2" Soft Vytex Dunlop Latex topper.
I suggest waiting for the mattress to arrive before making that determination.
 
Here are links to the mattress and to the topper.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper for Heavy People with Fibromyalgia.

Cindy writes:
 
Hi Pete,
I have fibromyalgia and cervical spinal disc disease. 
My husband and I need a new mattress that will be comfortable for us both. 
We're heavy people, both weighing over 250 lbs. 
I am allergic to latex and I have noticed that it is recommended for my illness. We live in Southern California. 
Would love to know what you recommend. 
You have been in business along time. 
And from what I have noticed from the testimonials, you know what you are talking about and do not steer people in the wrong direction whether they buy from you or not. 
I would like to get a good bed that will last and has a warranty, but also fits our budget and can be delivered to us with minimal amount for shipping. Thank you for your time. Look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely, Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

Let's start with your latex allergy. If your allergy is typical...a skin reaction to latex gloves and bandages, then you have nothing to worry about.

Latex foam is processed in such a way, as to remove the allergen that is naturally present in the sap from the rubber tree.

All latex foam is hypoallergenic. And, there is the Vytex process, that make it virtually allergen free.

Latex is thee best upholstery material on the planet.

It's extremely comfortable, making it ideal for reliving the pain from Fibromyalgia.

And, latex is far more resilient than anything else, making it ideal for long term use under heavy people.

 

The mattress needs to be supportive enough to hold the weight, and pliable enough to not fight the fibro.

For that reason, we'll start off with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree in Luxury Firm.

Both take approx. 2 weeks to arrive.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
 

ALSO IMPORTANT:
I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Choosing a Mattress for Arthritis and/or Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia

Too often, those suffering with Arthritis and/or Fibromyalgia place their focus on surface comfort and forget about support.

Too often, those suffering from the pain of Arthritis and/or Fibromyalgia will buy a soft mattress, only to find that it wears out much too quickly.

These are common mistakes.

Simply put, your body has two parts…the inside and the outside…and, you need to fill the needs of both parts in order to make a successful purchase…and to get that great night’s sleep you’re after.

Coincidentally, a mattress has two parts too…the inside, (The Support), and the outside, (The Comfort Layers).

Addressing the Fibromyalgia issue is easier than you might think, so let’s start with the inside….the “Support” part of the mattress.

There are a variety of ways to get the right support for your particular needs and set of circumstances.

A mattress is a pressure sensitive item. The wear of the mattress is in direct relation to the pressure placed upon it….your body weight.

If you want your mattress to last, the support part of the mattress needs to be durable. How strong that support needs to be, depends on how much you weigh.

The one thing we all have in commons, is a spine that requires reasonably firm support…the degree of that firmness varying in relation to body weight.

Since 80% of you fall within the range of what is considered normal, that is to say, “Average Body Weight”, let’s start there.

Keeping the Fibromyalgia in mind, and at average weight, your best options are either a pocketed coil or an all foam mattress. (Not Memory Foam)

An all foam mattress can include an all latex mattress, or a latex hybrid, which used a high density polyurethane foam core and a latex top…if you have no back problems.

Since many people with fibromyalgia also suffer with some sort of back pain, the pocketed coil is your bet option for that.

There are many mattresses that offer a pocketed coil unit. The original is the Simmons Beautyrest…since the 1920s.

The coils in the Beautyrest are barrel shaped and pre-compressed into the pocket. Most other brands that have a pocketed coil are hour glass shaped, with the coil and the pocket at the same height.

Only the pre-compressed pocketed coils push back up against your spine for the best type of support that maintain the natural alignment of your spine.

The starting model in the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Series, in Luxury Firm is the best mattress for that.

(Since the model names change every couple of years, I have omitted that)

Here is a link to the current World Class Models:…offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/

If you have no problems with your back, an all latex or latex/hybrid mattress is an excellent choice.The all latex mattresses, (also introduced in the 1920s), has always been considered, “The Best You Can Buy”, due to their extraordinary longevity.

Pure Talalay Bliss, now known as Talalay Global, is considered the “Name Brand” among latex mattresses…shown here:…offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/pure-latexbliss/

 

Similarly made as the Pure Bliss mattresses, but not as expensive, is Natura of Canada…also offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S., and also Canada.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-latex-level-2-mattress/

 

My pick for “Best Buy” among latex mattresses, is from EverEden. This next link shows all latex and latex/hybrid models….offering UPS Delivery.
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/all-natural-latex/evereden-latex-models/

EverEden Latex Mattresses

If you’re looking to go “Organic”, We have a nice selection of latex mattress from Palmpring:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/palmpring-coconut-latex-mattresses/

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

For those of you Fibro patients who happen to be “Petite”, weighing under 150 pounds, the above options also work for you.

However, your lighter body weight affords you the ability to go with something less expensive.

The starting model in the Simmons Beautyrest Classic Series, in Luxury Firm…offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-classic/

 
And, the Wolf pocketed coil/latex hybrid “Adara” model…offering FedEx Delivery throughout most of the U.S….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattresses/wolf-hybrid-mattress/

Wolf Mattress AdaraPlush Latex Hybrid

************************************************************************************
For those of you weighing between 200 and 250 pounds, your options are fewer….and, generally more expensive, as the mattress needs to be stronger.

You would star with the starting model in the Simmons Beautyrest Black Series in Luxury Firm…offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-black/

And, The Natura Greenspring models…offering White Glove Delivery throughout most of the U.S. and Canada….shown here:https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/
A Natura Greenspring is what we sleep on at home…with my wife and I, both, in the 225 lb. range.The Natura Greenspring has bit stronger coil unit and is upholstered with Natural Talalay Latex.

If your body weight is reaching upwards of 300 pounds, the Natura Greenspring or one of the all latex mattresses, are your only choices.

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

The pocketed coils and the foam mattresses are the best type of support for Fibro patients, as the help to reduce the pressure points.

However, if your body weight exceeds 300 pounds, you may want to consider a stronger coil unit….specifically, the Bonnell Coil…also introduced in the 1920s.

Other than the pocketed coil from the Simmons Beautyrest, all other brands used the Bonnell coil from the 1920s until 1980s. It was the Work Horse of the industry.

And this is what we turn to for support when body weight exceeds 300 pounds.

The good news is, these are not expensive mattresses.

There are three models. The plush model for 300 to 350 pounds. The Luxury Firm for 350 to 400 pounds. The Firm if in excess of 400 pounds.

Made by Wolf, (A very old (1873)), family owned and operated Midwest manufacturer, these mattresses are two sided, flippable, old fashion mattresses.

Offering FedEx Delivery throughout most of the U.S….shown here:

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

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

Now that the inside of your body has the long lasting support it needs, it’s time to address the out side of you body…cushioning the Fibromyalgia with the the additional comfort layers needed.

We start with an All Natural Latex Mattress Topper….(Not Memory Foam).

There are many types of latex on the market. Most of what you’ll find is blended latex, (30% natural & 70% synthetic), which is not as durable as 100% All Natural.

Also, most these that are labeled as “Soft” are not as soft as the all natural latex that we offer.

Also, you’ll find some latex out there that is much lower in price. These come from China, where they add clay as a filler…still able to call it natural, but again, not as soft and with much shorter longevity.

We carry two types of latex…Vytex Dunlop & Talalay….with Talalay being the more supple and softer of the two.

For most of you, the EverEden 2″ Soft Talalay Latex is the one to get…offering UPS Delivery to all 50 States & Puerto Rico…shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/

It’s common to think that if 2″ of latex is good, 3″ must be better. That, is not always so.The 3″ offers a greater depth of softness. For Petite people 150 pounds or less, who exert very little pressure, the 3″ Soft Talalay is a good option.

But for the rest of you, the extra depth of softness allows you to sink where your heavier, throwing off the natural alignment of you spine.

Between 150 and 250 pounds, stick with the 2″ Soft Talalay. It’s the one that gets all the rave feedback and it’s what we use at home.

The Dunlop is a bit more dense. For those of you between 250 and 300 pounds, go with the 2″ Soft Dunlop. or the 2″ Medium Talalay.

If you are over 300 pounds, use the 2″ Medium Dunlop.

The reason for starting with one of these latex topper, when addressing Fibromyalgia, is because latex toppers are a maintenance free product.

It comes covered in a nice knit fabric, which stretches…allowing you to get the most benefit from the contouring property of the latex.

The cover comes with corner straps, which hook around the corners of your mattress, keeping it in place.

It is, a set it and forget it product…and lasts for many years.

The one we have at home is several years old and still in like new condition.

If you live in Canada, the latex toppers from Natura are the ones to get…offering UPS Delivery to ALL Canadian provinces.

The Natura Latex Toppers are U.S. made blended Talalay Latex and sport a bit of wool at the top. These are also available for delivery to the U.S…shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/talalay-dunlop-latextoppers/latextopper/

And if “Organic” is what you’re after, we have all natural, organic latex toppers from Palmpring…offering UPS Delivery throughout the U.S….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/palmpring-coconut-latex-mattresses/mattress-pillow-toppers/

A Latex Topper is usually enough for most people to sleep comfortably and with greatly reduced pain from the Fibro.But, there are some who’s Fibromyalgia is in an advanced stage. For you, a latex topper helps, but isn’t enough.

In your case, add a Feather Bed Topper, from Pacific Coast Feather Co., for the extra relief you need.

It’s not a first choice, because a feather topper requires care…regular fluffing to maintain it’s loft.

The “Down Alternative” is a synthetic that requires less care than the natural feathers…offering UPS Delivery throughout much of the U.S….shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/bedding/pacific-coast/pacific-coast-mattress-protectors-feather-beds/

The main advantages of addressing your needs in this way are:1) The Toppers do a much better job of easing your pain.

2) They can be replaced when worn, without having to buy a new mattress.

3) The Latex Toppers absorb so much of your body weight, that it causes the mattresses under them to last longer than they normally would.

Over the long term, this approach is much longer lasting and so, far less expensive…and does a much better job.

Need Help Exchanging a Stearns & Foster Adele Ultra Firm Mattress.

Amy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need your help again.

We bought, at you direction, a Stearns & Foster Adele Ultra Firm Mattress, which we have loved over the years we've had it...still do.

But, it has developed a bulge in the side and we've been issued credit toward a new mattress.

However, after reading your blog, S&f is now owned by Tempurpedic and all their mattresses have memory foam.

Our Adele doesn't have memory foam, which is why you recommended it.

I need to make my exchange through Mattress Firm. Can you help me pick one out?

Also, we want to put a latex topper on it and I need to know which latex topper to get for large people.

Thanks, Amy

 

Hi Amy,

There is very little that Mattress Firm has that is suitable for you size and price point.

Your best choice is this one:

www.mattressfirm.com
Posturepedic Ashlin 9.75" Firm Mattress Mattress Firm Mattress Centers
This mattress has the strongest coil unit, of what they're offing. Also, there is no memory foam in the upholstery layers.

This isn't as much as your credit. Perhaps they will allow you to apply the different to some of the accessory items they carry.

To that you'll add the EverEden All Natural 3" Medium Vytex Dunlop Latex topper:

Talalay Latex toppers are normally purchased as “Soft” for the purpose of softening a too firm mattress. However, both, the Vytex Dunlop & Talalay Latex Mattress ...
Together, you'll have very firm support and surface comfort that should last you for many years.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Simmons Beautyrest NxG Memory Foam Mattress causing me pain.

Rachel writes:

Hi Pete,

I came across your blog and website today while trying to research the best mattress toppers. Several years ago I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest NXG 400 (CK size) for a good amount of money, at least in my opinion. 

I chose this mattress due to lower back issues, mainly L5-S1. My mattress was comfortable...for a little while, which seems to be a common theme I've seen in your advice to others. 

I ended up having back surgery on my L5-S1 in 2011. 

After that, my mattress seemed to become more and more uncomfortable with each passing day, not only for my back, but for several other joints. 

So much so, for the past three years, after moving in with my now fiance, we either sleep in his double bed (it has a memory foam topper but EVERY move wakes me up) or many times, the sectional couch - instead of my large, roomy, SUPPOSEDLY top-of-line waste of $$$$. (On the plus side, my mattress is still in very good condition from such little use.)

Eventually, the pieces of my joint pain came together when I was diagnosed earlier this year with extremely aggressive rheumatoid arthritis at age 35.  

Along with pain in just about every joint, I also have insomnia and extreme fatigue, as well as frequent migraines, and stiff, sore muscles from medications, pain, stress, etc.

For most of my life I was a side and/or stomach sleeper, but now, due to pain, can only sleep on my back, a position in which I previously could never fall asleep in and still have extreme difficulties trying to do so. (HATE IT!!!)

I was very excited when I saw your website; it seems that memory foam (with gel temperature control) gets more hype and attention as the "new and best" thing but, I've been leery to purchase one because of some tempurpedic pillows I purchased (also for a good amount of money) that KILLED my neck, jaw, ears...everything!

My fiance also has severe allergy issues as well as some back and neck pain. He is 5'11, about 190, I'm 5'5, around 150.

I was looking at your 2" Ever Eden Talalay topper along with the Purebliss Latex therapeutic (latex/down) pillows. What would your suggestion/advice be? 

Also, as a side question, I qualify for a "therapeutic mattress/mattress pad" under my health insurance DME benefits - are you aware if your mattress toppers have ever been considered as "therapeutic" by health insurance companies? It seems any I can find through DME suppliers aren't ones I'd even purchase to begin with, and certainly are not worth wasting my time to fill out insurance paperwork for reimbursement. I'd rather purchase what's BEST out of my own pocket but, it doesn't hurt to ask if you're aware of any prior customers having one approved for medical necessity/therapeutic reasons.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give, as well as your time. I greatly appreciate it.

Rachel 

Hi Rachel,

Your Simmons Beautyrest NxG 400 is loaded with memory foam.

Memory foam is the worst material ever invented for this purpose.

Memory foam has created a boon for the mattress industry and a nightmare for the consumers who buy it.

Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens and sags under you once it warms from your body heat....losing comfort and support.

The diabolical part of this, is that the memory foam returns to its original shape when you get off of the bed...or, close enough to its original shape, that you won't prevail in a warranty claim.

The boon for the industry comes from not having to replace mattresses under warranty. But instead, the consumer has to replace their mattress much more frequently than in the past.

Most people don't realize that it's the memory foam causing the problem, since most people in the business talk about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

And so, the consumer ends up repeating their mistake...over and over again.

A latex topper will help, but your mattress has a lot of memory foam in it....junk upholstery that has seen better days.

You really can't afford to gamble with your health. My advice is to buy a new mattress and get rid of that one.

But this time, avoid memory foam.

Here is a link to the Natura Greenspring line...what we sleep on at home...a pocketed coil unit that is superior to the one Simmons makes, and upholstered with natural Talalay Latex.

Pure Bliss doesn't claim that their Latex/Down pillow is therapeutic. I put that there...and for good reason.

I have arthritis on one side of my neck...had it for years and lived with the pain.

When this pillow was introduced, I was given one to try at home. For the first time in years, my neck pain was gone.

Since then many people have experienced similar results. It is the best pillow for addressing chronic neck pain, that I've ever come across...and I have tried many different types.

Here is the link for those. It's the 2nd pillow on this page.

Tempurpedic Mattress causing Hip, Neck, And Shoulder Pain.

 

 

Pam writes:

Hi Pete,
We have had a Tempurpedic mattress for 3 years now. It was fine for 2 years. Now, it's causing me hip pain throughout the night as well as neck and shoulder pain. 

Also, I am going through menopause so I would like an option for a mattress topper that would not make me overly warm at night. 

I am 52, 120 lbs and my partner is 56 and 175 lbs. What recommendations do you have?
Thank you, Pam

Hi Pam,

Only memory foam, like the foam in your mattress, is temperature sensitive.

Memory foam absorbs the heat your body emits, and then reflects that heat back to you.

It softens as it warms, allowing you to sink.

After a couple of years, you should be sinking through it and are now hitting the harder foam that supports it. Memory foam is the only thing that behaves in that manner.

Nothing else is temperature sensitive.

An all natural Ever Eden 2" Soft Talalay latex topper is what will do the best job of giving you the relief you're looking for. Ever Eden, because it's 100% all natural and a better value.

Here is a link to those.

Mattress Toppers Latex & More | The Mattress Expert

Ever-Eden …100% Pure, All Natural Latex Mattress Toppers…(No Fillers, No Chemicals, No Synthetics)

These toppers come complete with a sewn on cotton cover, a non skid bottom fabric, and corner straps that hook around the corners of you mattress, so it stays in place.

These toppers sleep cool and remain like new for many years.

Also, We carry a pillow made of finely chopped latex, that works wonders on relieving chronic neck pain.

It behaves like a down pillow in that it can be manipulated to mold around your head and neck.

But since it's made of 100% latex, it doesn't flatten out, like a down pillow. In fact, it lasts for years.

It's the Pure Talalay Bliss Latex/Down Pillow...shown here:
