My new Sealy Posturepedic mattress was making me sick.

Hi Pete,

My new Sealy Posturepedic mattress was making me sick, from the toxic fumes and chemicals.

I finally figured that out and threw it away. It was only a few months old.

It's now three days later, and I am feeling much better.

Hopefully I won't get cancer.

Kelly

 

Good Morning Kelly,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

You should be made aware of what it was that caused your problem.

It's the memory foam upholstery that off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

All of the major brands have been sold to investors and all are using the same toxic memory foam to upholster their mattresses.

Simply switching brands to another name brand, that you once could trust to make a quality mattress, will end with the same result.

 

If you are in need of a good quality mattress that has NO Memory Foam. NO Chemical Off gassing.

The Wolf line of mattresses, established in 1873, is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been owned and operated by the same family...the Wolf family.

They make an excellent quality products, and at surprisingly reasonable prices.

Best quality mattress at a reasonable price.

Shannia writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm looking for the best quality mattress I can get at a reasonable price.

I can't afford a top line mattress, but I don't want to waste my money on a mattress that doesn't last.

Over the past several years, all I've gotten are mattresses that don't last more than a couple of years.

My neighbor told me about you and was certain that you have what I want.

I look forward to your recommendation.

Thanks, Shannia

 

Hi Shannia,

Thank your neighbor for me.

I do, indeed, have a very well made mattress that provides excellent support and longevity.

And, it's comfortable and reasonably priced.

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided Mattress in Plush is my recommendation.

 

The individually pocketed coils maintain proper spinal alignment.

The upholstery is natural plant based polyurethane foam, which keeps its shape well over the years.

There is NO Memory Foam in this mattress and there's NO Chemical Off-Gassing.

Lower back pain. Simmons Beautyrest Mattress?

Stephanie writes:

Hi Pete,

We've purchased several mattresses from you over the years.  

Back in '14 we purchased a 'Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Classic Flatbrook, Luxury Firm" in twin for our daughter. It was reasonably priced ($699) and is very comfortable. 

We had also previously purchased a  twin Beautyrest Trinity Park in 2010 from you.

 

We are looking to replace the Queen size mattress that my husband and I sleep on.

It's now about 17 years old.  

I am hoping to find something similar in comfort to the ones above.  

 

I know the mattress brands change model names all the time. 

Can you recommend a product comparable to the above, hopefully one that is beneficial for those who suffer from lower back pain. 

I have been experiencing that for about a year, and wondering if my current mattress may be part of the problem.

 

Thank you in advance,

Stephanie

 

Hi Stephanie,

Welcome Back!

Changes of model names and small changes in specifications was the norm in the old days…old days being when Simmons was owned by Simmons and when Sealy was owned by Sealy. Unfortunately, the old days have disappeared.

An investment group owns Simmons and Serta.

Tempurpedic owns Sealy and Stearns and Foster.

 

None of the mattresses you bought in the past have any memory foam in them.

Not having memory foam is why they’ve lasted for so long.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Any because memory foam returns when you get out of bed, you’ll not likely to prevail in a warranty claim…you simply have to buy new.

This diabolical approach has created a boon for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer…all that without even mentioning the toxic chemical off gassing.

Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals…some, of which, are highly toxic.

Carcinogenic Formaldehyde and Benzene being 2 of the most dangerous.

 

Let me recommend to you, the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

These were the highest quality mattresses we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows…something we were forced into when the industry went bad.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is very comfortable without being too soft. 

All natural materials are used, so there’s no chemical off gassing.

This mattress provides excellent support, comfort and longevity.

What's the best mattress topper?

Francine writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a mattress that is way too firm.

We bought a 3" memory foam mattress topper, which felt great for about a month.

Not only did it flatten out awfully fast, I was experiencing headaches.

So, I got on line, which is where I found you and found out why the memory foam was so bad.

Thank you for setting us straight.

What's the best mattress topper?

I'm guessing latex, but which one?

We are not large people.

Thanks, Francine

 

Hi Francine,

Latex is the best, if not made in China where they add fillers.

Pure, Organic Latex is extremely comfortable and equally long lasting.

Add to your mattress, the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper.

Does anyone make an old fashioned two sided mattress?

Jillian writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Does anyone make an old fashioned two sided mattress?

I bought a two sided mattress from Serta, but it didn't hold up. 

Before long, my back started hurting and it smelled bad. Also, it sleeps hot.

While they did a good job of creating the illusion, there was NOTHING old fashioned about it. 

What went wrong?

Is there anything better?

Thanks, Jillian

 

Hi Jillian,

Serta's two sided mattress is upholstered with memory foam. THAT's what went wrong.

 

An old fashioned mattress, made between 1970 to 2010, would have been upholstered with poly foam.

They wore well, didn't sleep hot and didn't off gas. 

There are very few of these truly old fashioned mattresses made today.

Wolf makes a couple of them, using an individually pocketed coil unit, which maintains proper spinal alignment.

The upholstery is plant based poly foam. They wear well, do not sleep hot and there's NO Off Gassing.

Need advice.

Karen writes:

Hi Pete,

I’m looking for your best advice.

Thanks, Karen

 

Hi Karen,

Here’s some sage advice I got from Robin Williams.

Never buy gribenes from a mohel.
I hope that helps.

Thanks, Pete

 

Hi Pete,

I have no clue as to what that means, but the advice I need is for a mattress.

Karen

 

Hi Karen,

That narrows it down quite a bit.

 

Maintaining proper spinal alignment and staying away from mattresses upholstered with memory foam is my best mattress advice.

The Wolf Brolynn Old fashioned Two Sided Mattress is a fine example.

The individually pocketed coil system insures proper spinal alignment.

The coil count is high. The heavier gauge, double tempered steel coils provide long lasting support. The upholstery is natural, plant based polyurethane foam.

There’s no chemical off gassing and no memory foam.

It’s one of the best values on the market.

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Sealy Posturpedic mattress made of memory foam. Terrible Off-Gassing. A Horrible Mistake.

Stacey writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I made a horrible mistake and bought a Sealy Posturpedic mattress made of memory foam.  

The off-gassing is terrible (I wish I had seen your website earlier).  

Luckily, my store in Canada has an exchange policy so I can exchange the mattress for another.  

 

I'm thinking of taking your advice and buying a pocket coil mattress with no memory foam and then purchasing a latex mattress topper. 

Have you heard of the Distinction brand of mattresses? If so, do you recommend a specific mattress?  

 

Also, I noticed that you are temporarily out of stock of the Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper.  

Do you know when they will be in stock?  

Do you recommend 2" or 3" topper for a back/side sleeper, female 130 lbs, late 40's.

 

If the Pure Vita will take a while to get in stock, how comparable is the Natura line?  

Thank you so much for your help,

Stacey

 

Hi Stacey,

I’ve not heard of that brand, but that isn’t meaningful.

What’s important is that your mattress has no memory foam in it.

The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex Toppers have just arrived, and ship quickly.

https://themattressexpert.com/latex-toppers/suite-sleep-toppers/

 

 

However, I can’t ship them into Canada.

The only way to get one is if you have a U.S. postal address, like you can get at a UPS store.

The Natura latex topper adds comfort, but isn’t as thick or as soft.

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

 

Hi Pete,

Sorry to bother you again.

I thought I had read on your website that you recommend getting a mattress with a minimum number of pocket coils for adequate support (unfortunately I can't find this info).   

The mattress I had been looking at has about 800 pocket coils but the sales person is recommending the Beautyrest Unity Coast mattress which has 1100 coils for better support (it's also more expensive).  

Does the number of pocket coils matter?

 

Also the Beautyrest is made with "Seaqual Sustainable Panel Fabric made from recycled plastic water bottles" - do you know if there are any issues with this type of fabric (off-gassing/toxins)?  

 

Thanks so much for your help!

Stacey

 

Hi Stacey,

No bother, at all.

The more coils you have, the better the support.

However, Simmons does not temper the steel they use to make the coils.

And, their plush models use a much thinner gauge wire than their firmer models.

The thing that gives you toxic off gassing is the memory foam upholstery they use.

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Mattresses for the children that double as guest bedrooms.

Brett writes:

 

Hello Pete,

I'm upgrading both of my children to Queen size beds and looking for a good mattress for them.

They need to be good, long lasting mattresses to double as guest bedrooms.  

What can you suggest for a good mattress for kids, and guests alike?  

I'm pretty sure I'm leaning towards a good firm mattress with a nice topper, or one with a euro top included.

Many Thanks, Brett

 

Hi Brett,

The thing to concern yourself with most, is in buying mattresses that have no memory foam in them.

Most memory foams are made of toxic chemicals that off gas.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…even non-toxic plant based memory foam.

 

The tailoring of the mattress is of secondary importance.

Firm contouring support and a comfortable sleeping surface made with long lasting components should be your primary focus.

 

I have a couple of suggestions.

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in plush provides all the support, comfort and longevity you’ll need for long term use.

Going with that mattress in Duo Comfort, (Firm on one side and Plush on the other side), allows you to provide your guest with their desired feel.

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

 

 

If a luxurious surface feel is what you’re after, then consider the Wolf Jessica Mattress and a Suite Sleep 

2” or 3” Soft Organic Latex Topper.

Together they give you that “Eurotop” look. 

Pure, All Natural Latex is far more luxurious and much longer lasting than any Eurotop mattress.

Mattresses delivered in time for Christmas.

Jonathan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I have decided to buy new mattresses for us and our children for Christmas.

The things I'm looking for are:

1. Good quality without breaking the bank.
2. No chemical off gassing, which seems to be a major problem with most mattresses.
3. They must be delivered in time for Christmas.

Is this too tall of an order? Am I expecting too much?

Thanks, Jonathan

 

Hi Jonathan,

Since most local stores are a sea of mattresses upholstered with toxic memory foam, (the source of all that chemical off gassing),  and given the supply chain problems in this country at this time, it does sound like quite 

a tall order. However, you came to the right place.

 

We carry a line of mattress from The Wolf Corp. Established in 1873, Wolf is the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has continually been owned and operated by the same family.

The make excellent quality mattresses at reasonable prices.

All of the components in their mattresses are US made, so they have not affected by supply shortages.

As a result, it takes between 1 and 2 weeks for your order to arrive...certainly in time for Christmas.

The upholstery is natural, plant based polyurethane foam.

There is NO Memory Foam in any of these mattresses and NO Chemical Off Gassing to worry about.

 

Of all their mattresses, the Brolynn Old Fashioned Two-Sided model in Plush is the most comfortable.

Here is a link to their line of mattresses:
