Time to replace our 17 year old Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge pillowtop mattress.

Hi Pete,

My wife and I have loved sleeping on our 17 year old Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge pillowtop mattress. 

But I think it's getting time to replace it. 

It doesn't seem horrible, but was wondering about what would be best replacement. 

Or, should we try a latex topper?

We are both around 200lbs, some side sleeping but mostly on our backs.

We're looking to choose between the Saatva or the Natura GreenSpring.

If you could help give some input on these, I would be much appreciative.

Thanks, William

 

Hi William,

Your mattress is older than you think. It’s likely to be about 20+ years old.

It was one of the best mattresses S&F ever produced.

S&F is now owned by Tempurpedic.

Nothing they make today comes close to the quality of the Knightsbridge.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

The sale of those companies to Tempurpedic is what sent us shopping at the industry trade shows for high quality alternatives.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is what we found to replace S&F.

The specifications of the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses exceed those of S&F mattresses when S&F was “The Cadillac of the Industry”.

 

I hear lots of complaints from Saatva customers, which is likely due to them using latex that’s processed in China.

 

We’ve sold a ton of these Natura mattresses since 2013, and without a single complaint. 

It’s what my wife and I sleep on at home.

We’ve had ours for 9 years, and it’s still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

We sleep on the ultra plush model, which is their most comfortable.

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

It strikes me as ideal for the two of you.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

Janet writes:

Hi Pete,

I saw an article where you recommended the Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

This was to a lady who told you about her worn out Simmons Beautyrest World Class Exceptionale.

 

I have seen you recommend many other mattresses since I read that article.

My husband and I are needing a new king and possibly wanting a Cal King since he is 6'2" tall.  

Can you help me?

We are both side sleepers, both over 65 and like a softer feel to a bed with a stable coil system.

Thanks, Janet

 

Hi Janet,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is the very best we carry.

The components are far higher in quality than any of the materials used by most other brands.

If you’re looking for a really good one, that would be it.

A High Quality Mattress Delivered to Winnipeg, Canada.

Michel writes:

Hi Pete,

Thank Heaven, I found your blog and website!

I have been dealing with poor quality mattress that are supposed to be high quality...according to all the hype.

Over the last 3 years, I've gone through as many mattresses...all disappointing.

After reading your blog posts, I realize it was the memory foam causing the problem, all along.

According to all the ads, memory foam is supposed to be the latest, greatest thing.

Now, I know it was all hype and BS.

I've read enough to know that I'm looking for your Natura Greenspring, which is produced in Quebec, Canada.

It just so happens, I live in Canada, and am hoping you can delivery a mattress to me in Winnipeg. 

I need something firm, yet comfortable. 

Would I be looking at the plush or ultra plush model?

What would be the cost to get it to me?

Many thanks, Michel

 

Hi Michel,

We can deliver those mattresses to you in Winnipeg, Canada.

There is no additional cost, other than the cost of the mattress.

These mattresses include white glove delivery...set-up in your bedroom and all packing materials removed.

And, we don't charge you any Canadian sales tax....it's just the cost of the mattress.

 

These mattresses are, indeed, very high quality.

The coil count is very high and the coils are very strong...made of double tempered steel.

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

There is NO Memory Foam in any of these mattresses.

 

The most comfortable of the 4 models, is the Ultra Plush.

Due to the strength of the coils and the resiliency of the latex, these mattresses are all firmer than they sound.

In no way, can the Ultra Plush model be considered too soft, by anyone's standards.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what we sleep on at home.

Our mattress is more than 4.5 years old and still in like new condition...despite each of us weighing over 200 lbs.

Here is a link to that mattress:...You won't be disappointed.

A Non-Toxic Mattress that Will Relieve Sciatica Pain.

Lee writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are in the market for a new king mattress.  

We have a Sealy Posturepedic Barrister in our guest room that we both prefer. 

At this point though I have sciatica pain and I feel like the way the Tempurpedic grabs you is making it worse.

 

Is there an innerspring mattress that is non-toxic that you would recommend that will relieve my sciatica pain? 

Or would a spring mattress, like a Sealy Posturepedic, work well with one of your latex toppers?

 

Thanks for any information you can share.

Sincerely, Lee

 

Hi Lee,

You’ll want to avoid all of the name brands, Sealy included, if you’re looking for a mattress that has no toxic chemical off gassing.

A mattress with an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the shape of the body, will maintain the natural alignment of your spine, which relieves sciatica.

 

We carry a mattress that has that type of coil unit, non-toxic, and with latex upholstery so you don’t need to buy a separate latex topper.

It’s the mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ulltra Plush is a high quality, strong mattress that provides excellent support, comfort and durability.

Ours is more than 5.5 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

What’s more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having several disc related back problems...sciatica included.

Stearns and Foster Tropical Oasis Latex Mattress.

Cindy writes:

 

Hi Peter,

I have a Stearns and Foster Tropical Oasis Latex mattress, which I got from you many years ago, and still love it.

I had tried so many beds due to lupus, degenerative disc disease and fibro. This has been best for me.

We now have a vacation home and I can't find anything to be comfortable on.

I'm hoping, with all your knowledge, that you can tell me something that would be very close to what I have now.

Thank you, so much, for any help you can provide.

Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,

Your mattress is plush latex on top of a firm latex core.

While Stearns and Foster, now owned by Tempurpedic, no longer makes anything like your Tropical Oasis, we do carry a line of latex mattresses that are very much the same...even a little better.

Natura of Canada All Latex Bourdolay Plush Mattress is the ones to consider.

Brandon writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What is involved with ordering a mattress, purchasing it over the phone, for delivery to Ontario, Canada?

Thanks, Brandon

Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,

Do I order it from you or do I need to find a store in Canada? 

What is the wait time for delivery?

Thanks, Brandon

 

Hi Brandon

You can order them through me, either online or by phone.

Currently, Natura mattresses are shipping in about 3 weeks.

Thanks, Pete

 

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

 

Hi Pete,

Could you give me guidance as to which one to purchase?

I have a Tempurpedic now. My shoulders, back and hips hurt.

I like a plush feeling and sleep on my side in a Queen size.

I worry about ordering on line without seeing the mattress but you have such wonderful reviews I feel I can trust this  situation.

 

Also who does the shipping and do they remove the mattress I have now?

Thanks for all your time, Brandon

 

Hi Brandon,

Our most popular mattress in the Greenspring Ultra Plush.

It’s what my wife and I sleep on at home. And, it’s our most popular model.

We’ve sold hundreds of them, and with zero complaints.

 

I have lots of back problems, which I find are made worse on any all foam mattress.

The Greenspring Ultra Plush allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

 

We’ve had this mattress for more than 5.5 years.

And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., our mattress is still in like new condition.

 

Delivery is white glove, which includes set up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

 

Here is a link to that mattress:

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

 

 

Your Tempurpedic foundation does not need to be replaced.

You need the mattress only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Deep Indentations and Sleeping Hot on a Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Amy writes:

 

Hi Pete

Six years ago, we upgraded to a bigger house, so we went from a Posturepedic Reserve Holly Springs queen-sized mattress to a Posturepedic Sedgebrooke king-sized mattress. 

The Holly Springs is now our guest bed and I still miss it!. 

We have the Sedgebrooke on a basic platform frame. 

We love the size of the king, but we've come to hate this particular mattress. 

It has developed deep indentations from where my husband and I sleep. Rotating the mattress does little to help. 

(he's 6' 200 lbs, I am 5'7" 140 lbs). 

I am primarily a side sleeper, while my husband is a side and back sleeper. 

I've also noticed I'm sleeping hot on this mattress, but that could also be my age (we're both 50).

 

Would you recommend a latex topper to get more use out of the Sedgebrooke? 

Or should we start over with a new mattress? 

After reading your blogs, I'm open to spending money on a new quality mattress. 

But I'd like to get more than six years worth of use out of it!

Thanks, Amy

 

Hi Amy,

8 years ago, Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic.

The Holly Springs, being older, was much better made and contained no memory foam.

There hasn’t been a Sealy Posturepedic mattress made that’s worth buying since Tempurpedic bought them...upholstering everything with memory foam.

 

It’s the memory foam, a temperature sensitive material that absorbs your body heat and reflects it back to you, which is causing you to sleep hot.

Memory foam softens as it warms, allowing you to sink into it.

It’s not very resilient to start and loses its resiliency in a short time.

All of the name brands have been sold to investors and all are using memory foam to recoup their investment and enhance profits.

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

The result? Selling more mattresses more frequently to the same people.

It really has been a boon for the industry, but a nightmare for the consumer.

Even now, few people know that the memory foam is a problem.

So much money is spent advertising it as though it were the best thing since sliced bread.

 

Had you added a latex topper when it was new, all this would have been prevented.

The latex topper would have created a barrier between you and the memory foam.

The memory foam would not have been able to react to your body heat.

Now, it’s too late for that.

 

Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals.

Some of those chemicals, like formaldehyde and benzene, are toxic and off gas their toxicity....as if the poor quality weren’t bad enough...adding insult to injury.

 

Of course, you couldn’t have known all this 6 years ago.

You, naturally, operated under the assumption that the quality you had experienced with the Holly Springs would continue with your next Sealy mattress.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer when Tempurpedic bought both companies.

We stopped selling those brands at that time because we already knew how bad memory foam is. So, we had to go shopping at the industry trade shows to find high quality alternatives

 

The mattress I’m recommending for you is the same mattress my wife and I sleep on at home. 

After several years, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. this mattress is still in like new condition.

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

Latex is the antithesis of memory foam in every way.

 

That mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set up in your bedroom, removal of your old mattress and all packaging materials.

Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
