Sealy Reflexion Laguna Beach Pillowtop Latex Mattress.

Hi Pete,

We have a queen size Sealy Reflexion Laguna Beach Pillowtop Latex Mattress which we bought many years ago for our son’s bedroom. He moved away, shorty after, and it has only been used occasionally since.

We would be grateful for any information you have regarding what this particular mattress is made of.

We love the way it feels and would like to get a king size for our bedroom.

Can I get the same thing today?

Many Thanks, Dorothy

 

Hi Dorothy,

That mattress consists of a latex core, latex comfort layers and topped with polyurethane foam.

Unfortunately, Sealy has since been sold and no longer makes a mattress for that quality.

The closest mattress to that one of the Suite Sleep Portfolio All Organic Latex Mattress.

I'm looking for a Luxurious Mattress that lasts.

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for a Luxurious Mattress that lasts.

The one we had sagged right away, so we got one that isn't as soft.

It's ok, but lacks the luxurious feel that I want.

What mattress will give me the luxury feel I want and also wear longer than just a couple of years?

Thanks, Ellen

 

Hi Ellen,

That has always been something of a problem. The softer the upholstery, the quicker is sags.

The product with both, a high degree of comfort and resiliency is Pure Talalay Latex.

Since there's nothing wrong with your mattress, you can achieve the luxurious surface feel you want by adding the right mattress topper.

The absolute best for your needs is The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

Shown here:

We use this one at home. 

And despite being larger people, it has lasted us for several years, without needing to be replaced as yet.

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, and the Black Napa pillowtop mattress.

Jeff writes:

 

Hi Pete. 

I have the same question as the one in the post, below. 

I have the choice of a Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, and the black Napa pillowtop mattress.

I'm looking for a medium firm to more firm option. 

The Napa was recommended by you but looks to be on the softer side? 

Thanks, Jeff

https://themattressexpert.com/2018/01/21/which-of-these-3-simmons-beautyrest-mattresses/

 

 

Hi Jeff,

That post is more than a few years old.

And while the Black Series has the strongest coil unit of all the Beautyrests, the memory foam upholstery used in every model, will cause all of their mattresses to wear quickly.

 

The Napa was not a recommendation, but the answer to a simple question.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing simple about buying a mattress.

 

All of the name brands have been sold to investors.

All name brand mattresses are now made for high profit.

The quality that used to be their hallmark no longer exists.

 

If you would like a recommendation, I’ll need your stats.

(Sizes, ages, physical ailments of the people using the mattress.)

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

I'm in western Canada. 

We are larger people, not obese, in our 50s, with no real physical problems, other than some minor back pain.

We like a firm mattress with a comfortable top, like a pillowtop.

I look forward to your recommendation.

Thanks, Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

The pillowtop part of a pillowtop mattress is the first thing to show wear...especially one filled with memory foam.

My recommendation is for The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system, which is also used in the Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than in the mattresses, about which you originally inquired.

The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex. Latex is and has been the best upholstery for the last 100 years.

Far superior to memory foam...like night and day.

Delivery is Free anywhere in the continental US and Canada.

And, you won't be charged your Canadian Sales Tax.

 

  

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress and Latex Topper. It's been WONDERFUL!

Diane writes:

Hi Pete,

I ordered a Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress from you, about a decade ago.

We also bought the 2" latex topper and waterproof mattress protector, too.

We followed your recommendation and it's been WONDERFUL! 

But it's a queen size and we'd like to get a king size. 

 

Because we LOVE this one, we want to replace that bed with something similar.

I wasn't able to find that same mattress on your website.

Can you send me links to what you're recommending today?

Thank you, Diane

 

Hi Diane,

I'm so pleased to hear that you're still enjoying your mattress.

My wife and I had that same sleep system combination at that time.

We kept it for a few years and then gave it to our sone and his wife.

They, like you, are still enjoying theirs.

 

Since then, Simmons was sold to an investment group which also bought Serta.

Back then, Simmons was using a higher grade of memory foam that didn't off gas.

Since being sold, a much cheaper and toxic memory foam is being used.

That mattress with a latex topper, today, would not prevent the chemical off gassing.

And since the memory foam is also less dense, it won't last as long.

 

It had been our habit to home test mattresses for a few years and then pass them along to family.

The last one we tested, the one after the one you have, has been such a great mattress, we decided to hang on to it. It is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of use weighing more than 200 lbs. And, despite having a very bad back, I sleep and wake without back pain.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest...individually pocketed coils, that contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

What's more, the upholstery is 3" of Soft Natural Talalay Latex....NO Memory Foam.

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

The coil count is higher and the latex upholstery is far more resilient.

As a result, it's not a too soft mattress...despite the "Ultra Plush" designation.

In fact, only about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress go on to add a separate topper.

 

This is the mattress I'm recommending for you.

We are ready to pull the trigger on a new mattress.

Gail writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

We are ready to pull the trigger on a new mattress. 

I'm noticing that you are recommending the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

What type of delivery times are you currently experiencing? 

 

I see you were also recommending the Wolf Brolynn Two-Sided Mattress, with a 3" latex topper.

Could you explain to us again the pros/cons of each? 

Such an important purchase, we want to be sure we're making the best choice. 

Thanks, Gail

Hi Gail,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush is the superior quality mattress.

The coil count is much higher. The latex is in the mattress, so there’s no need to purchase a separate topper. 

The edge support is much better. And, it comes with white glove delivery....arriving in about 4 weeks.

 

The Wolf Brolynn Two-Sided Mattress is next best...shipping quickly via UPS, and is noticeably less expensive.

Two sided mattress, other than Wolf Brolynn and Brandy-Lynn?

Jack writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I stumbled on your website looking for info on 2 sided, non memory foam mattress. 

Do you sell any other brand of two sided mattress, other than Wolf Brolynn and Brandy-Lynn?

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

 

My old Spring Aire cotton/wool that is giving me shoulder problems, when I switch from back to side sleeping.

Mattress toppers offer short term relief and actually have to take them off from time to time. 

Also a few coils are pushing out the one side so I believe it's time. 

Although, since I've flipped the mattress every time I changed the sheets. there's no sag.

Thnx, Jack

 

Good Morning Jack,

We also carry a Two Sided Organic All Latex Mattress from Suite Sleep.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/suite-sleep-latex-mattress/7-two-sided-firm-organic-latex-mattress/

I can highly recommend the  One Sided Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress, which my wife and I sleep on at home.

Shown here:
https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

 

Since your mattress isn’t sagging, you can snip off the coils that are pushing through the side and add a high quality, long lasting latex mattress topper.

The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper will provide the greatest degree of comfort for your shoulders.

What Mattress does The Mattress Expert sleep on?

Alan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What Mattress does The Mattress Expert sleep on?

 

We are a bit older and on the heavy side, with lots of back pain.

We need firm support with a comfortable sleeping surface that will hold up well under our weights.

I look forward to your response, Alan

 

Hi Alan,

Over the years, my wife and I have home tested several mattresses.

Normally, we would keep them for a few years and give them to a family member.

The mattress we have now, we've had for 9 years.

We are large, older people as well. I have a very bad back and my wife has a sensitive hip.

This mattress, The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush has gone such a great job of relieving our pain, we decided to keep it.

The Firm, individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of our spines and the comfortable 3" Talalay Latex upholstery has given us unfailing surface comfort.

This mattress will do the same for you.

A Latex Topper for an older Sealy Venetian Mattress.

Joanne writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I’d like to purchase a latex mattress topper and make sure I get the one that is right for me.

I have an older Sealy Venetian latex mattress.   

I expect that sometime in the next couple of years, I’ll be purchasing a good quality mattress from you.  

For now, I’d like to start with the topper.

What information is needed to help me decide which topper will be right for me?

Thank you for your help, Joanne

 

Hi Joanne,

If you’re getting a latex topper for your Venetian, you’ll want to first flip that mattress over to it’s firmer side before adding the topper. In doing so, you’ll experience better support for your new sleeping surface.

The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex Topper is the softest and the highest quality latex available.

Here’s a link to that latex topper.

Firm mattress, soft topper for back, hip and shoulder pain.

Linda and Chuck write:

Hi Pete,

We need a firm mattress, and a soft topper for back, hip and shoulder pain.

We know that what We need, because that’s what we’ve had, and it was great.

We bought that “sleep system combination”, as you called it, many years ago.

And just as you promised it would, it made all our various aches and pains go away.

Now, these many years later, it’s time to replace them.

I’ve looked on your website for the same items, but couldn’t find them.

What would you recommend today to achieve those same results?

Thanks, Linda and Chuck…long time fans of The Mattress Expert.

 

Good Morning Linda and Chuck,

Welcome back.

I’m so pleased to hear that my recommendation worked so well for the two of you, and for so long.

 

So much has changed over the years, which is nothing new for this industry.

Products change, come and go, on a regular basis.

But rest assured that my recommendation will include high quality products that will do the job just as well as your previous purchase.

 

The Wolf Jessica Mattress will provide the firm, contouring support necessary to relieve chronic back pain.

The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper will provide the cushioning needed to relieve hip and shoulder pain.

This sleep system combination is ideal for the inside and outside of your body.

I need to make my old mattress more comfortable.

Evan writes:

 

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:

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.
