Hi Pete,
My husband and I are plush size people, with me at around 300 pounds and my husband closer to 400 pounds.
We are sick and tired of buying mattresses. We go through them so quickly, it's getting to be ridiculous.
I've been reading your blog and the information I found there tells me that you have a mattress that will hold our weight and last for more than just a year.
Your blog takes me to the 2 sided Therapedic Medi-Coil Ultimate Permatuft. But, there are two of them...firm and plush.
If I go with the plush, will we still need a latex topper to soften it?
Thanks, Elaine
Hi Elaine,
The short answer is, maybe...maybe not.
It would depend on your idea of comfort.
The plush is not all that plush...certainly not as plush as most mattresses that carry that designation.
It takes the edge off of the firm model, which is downright hard.
You have to understand that these mattresses were designed and engineered by me to support extraordinary body weight in a world where no other mattress will do that job for any length of time...as you have discovered.
We've had these mattresses on the market for the last 5 years, with our heaviest customers exceeding 500 lbs....and, with zero complaints.
They are built to last under extreme conditions....more for support than comfort.
Whenever there is a couple involved, we recommend going with the plush. It may be enough cushioning for you.
If not, adding a latex topper is the best way to achieve long lasting comfort.
In the past, we had been recommending using 2 toppers...both 1.5"...one soft Talalay under one Dunlop.
Recently, the Dunlop has become available in a softer version, so one 3" soft Dunlop will be all you'll need for surface comfort that you will enjoy for many years.
Here are links to both products. Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
An Important Note:
Any kind of moisture, be it from spills, accidents or perspiration causes a mattress to wear prematurely.
Protect your investment with high quality, Waterproof Mattress and Pillow Protectors that sleep cool and won't shrink.
Thanks, Pete
