Using a Waterproof Mattress Protector is essential for preventing moisture from seeping into the upholstery layers. Keeping your upholstery materials clean and dry will help prevent them from compressing and retaining your body’s odor. There are many mattress protectors on the market. Here’s a link to a couple of the ones that we offer on our website. They are the ones we use at home. https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements.html#/ Free Shipping.
“Most of your weight is at one end of the mattress.” “Sleeping partners are often different weights.” These are the main reasons why your mattress will wear unevenly and become uncomfortable much too quickly, if you do not rotate/flip your mattress on a regular basis from the time it’s new. One sided mattresses are rotated. Two sided mattresses are flipped. All of this is nothing new. This procedure has always been the industry standard. Once a month for the first year, once every three months thereafter. Special notes: Two sided mattresses should be flipped, side to side and head to foot on a rotating bases for maximum results. King size mattresses often develop a “hump up the middle”. Since most people sleep farther apart on a king size mattress, the center remains like new while each begins to wear. The hump up the middle is, “the nature of the beast“. Adding to the problem is the foundation, which is usually reinforced up the center of the bed. There is a solution that will reduce the effects. This trick only works with a standard king size mattress. A standard king is almost square…close enough that it works. Rotate your king size mattress 1/4 turn.

Thinking about replacing guest bedroom full size mattress soon. I have a latex topper already that I got from you a while back. Are you still recommending the Wolf Tulah Mattress? Thanks, Sati Hi Sati, Welcome back. The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress is still my recommendation. It's ideal for a guest bedroom...firm, contouring support...comfy, but not soft. Reasonably priced! You can use the latex topper you have on it for a more luxurious surface feel.

I'm trying to solve a mattress problem. We recently bought a fairly expensive mattress. We tested it on a box spring in the store, but the bed frame that we purchased with our house is a platform style (no prior experience with this style). We like the look of it so we gave away the box spring. For the first couple months things were ok. But now, my girlfriend and I are starting to experience stiffness and back pain in the middle of the night and early mornings when we had absolutely no issues prior. These issues seem to clear up once we get moving over the course of the day, so I have to believe it's related to the mattress or the platform bed. I was wondering what you would suggest as a solution for us to try? The bed feels fine when we initially lie down on it, but obviously overnight something isn't agreeing with us. Thank you, Dan Hi Dan, Today's boxsprings are cheaply made and made to be rigid. A platform bed provides similar support. That's not the problem. Most of today's mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, my guess is that you have one of these. Your problem is with the memory foam in your mattress. Memory foam is a horrible product...specifically designed to cause the mattress to need frequent replacing. For most of what is made today, equating expense with quality is a huge mistake. The truly diabolical part of memory foam is, that when you get off of the mattress, it looks perfectly fine, because the memory foam returns to its original shape. The point being, that prevailing in a warranty claim is highly unlikely. Memory foam has created a boon for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer. There is fix to this problem. Flip the mattress over and add a soft latex topper to that. This will put the memory foam at the bottom. The underside will provide firm support and the latex will give you the surface comfort you need to sleep well. Ideally, it would be best to get rid of that mattress and start over with a mattress that has no memory foam. If going with "the fix", here is a link to the latex topper you'll need. The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper is all you'll need to transform your mattress into a sleep system that you will look forward to every night..

I need a new king size mattress. I am big man, 275 lbs., and have had several spinal fusions, and there's a titanium rod in my back. I am side sleeper with pillow between legs (helps my back and hip pain). I currently have a Serta pillow top mattress. It's terrible. I also have added 6" of memory foam that doesn't help either. I need some advice. Thanks, Jim Hi Jim, Well, you couldn't have chosen a worse mattress or topper. Most people don't realize that the mattress industry has gone bad, by and large. That Serta mattress has a weak coil unit and is already upholstered with memory foam. Adding more memory foam hasn't helped, because it's a lousy product. Not only is memory foam a poor quality product, it's a health hazard. It off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made. We are large people, my wife and I. And, we suffer from many of the physical ailments that you have...and more. Over the years, we've home tested quite a few different types and brands of mattresses. The one we have had for nearly a decade is the best we've ever had. It supports well, provides excellent comfort and shows no signs of wear. Then again, it has NO Memory Foam in it...which is the key to a successful purchase. The individually pocketed coils are made of double tempered steel, and the upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex. The mattress I'm recommending for you is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush. Click on this link to view specifications and prices: https://www.themattressexpert.com/store/p142/Natura_Greenspring_Liberta_Ultra_Plush.html#/ You'll love the feel. It maintains your spine's natural alignment, which is ideal for relieving back pain. And, it holds up well under a big man. It's not as soft as it sounds.

Thank you for your quick reply. Your advice is clear, but unfortunately, I have a couple of more questions. It seems the only mattress within my Mom's price range is the Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress. https://www.themattressexpert.com/wolf_mattresses.html#/ She is determined to get a firm. She has always slept on a firm. We purchased several mattresses from you, so I know you would not recommend anything bad. But I have to ask anyway: Is the Wolf Tulah a solid quality mattress? Thank you again! Will Hi Will It is a firm mattress...firmer than it sounds. Wolf has been producing quality mattresses since 1873. It is a very well made. This should be the last mattress your mom will ever need to buy.

I recently purchased a couple of different mattresses. One was a Simmons Beautyrest extra firm, and a Saatva innerspring firm mattress. Both mattresses gave me severe back pain. The Simmons Beautyrest mattress was too hard on my back and gave me severe back pain after 30 days. The Saatva mattress kind of sunk in the middle after 40-45 days of use. I am on the heavier side, around 235 pounds with 6 ft in height. I read on your blog about the latex mattresses and its benefits. What are some of your recommendations in this category? I am really looking for a mattress that can alleviate the back pain. I saw from your website, that latex mattress can be full latex or can be hybrid (innerspring and latex). How do I choose between these two categories? For folks on the heavier side, such as me, what is your best recommendation? Thanks for your advice! Best, Robert Hi Robert, There is much more to choosing a mattress than simply the degree of firmness and softness. To listen to all the advertising and sales pitches, you'd think that today's mattresses are all high quality. They aren't. In fact, none of the name brands are made well enough to hold a large person for any length of time much beyond a year, or so. The product in these mattresses that causes them to fail, is the memory foam upholstery. Memory foam is a dream material, enhancing profits for the manufacturers and retailers, by causing mattresses to need frequent replacing...creating a nightmare for the consumer. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat. Being so, memory foam will fail under people a lot lighter in weight than you. To make a successful long term purchase, you must avoid mattresses with memory foam in them. You're on the right track, with looking at latex. But, an all foam mattress...even one made entirely of high quality latex, may or may not be right for you. What an all foam mattress does not provide, is push back support against your spine. If you have any disc related back problems, you'd be better off with an innerspring mattress that's upholstered with latex...for the support worn discs require. This condition is more common, the older and heavier we are. I, too, have several disc problems, being both, older and on the heavy side. An innerspring and latex mattress is best for you, the best made is: Natura of Canada Greenspring. Click on this link to view that line of mattresses. Click on each model to view specifications and prices: https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ My wife and I sleep on the Ultra Plush model. Our mattress is nearly a decade old and still in like new condition...each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. I have a number of disc problems in my back. Yet, I sleep and wake without back pain.

I must be really behind the times. I have never heard of the Wolf Mattress name before seeing it recommended on your blog. https://www.themattressexpert.com/wolf_mattresses.html#/ I guess I would love to hear your recommendation on a queen-sized mattress that would give you a luxurious night's sleep, is durable and not too firm/too soft in the $800-$1600 price range. Thank you for your recommendations, Sue Hi Sue, Most people don’t know many of the old manufacturers, beyond the advertised name bands. Wolf is one of the oldest mattress manufacturers, established 1873. The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress is the best quality available in your price range. It is, by far, better made than anything made by the, so-called, name brands...at any price! This mattress feels how you described wanting it to feel...firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface that's NOT too soft. If you want a more luxurious feel, add a Suite Sleep Soft Organic Latex Topper. However, I suggest waiting until the mattress arrives before deciding if a topper is needed.

Can I use my heated mattress pad with the mattress topper? Would it help relieve my sciatica nerve problem? Thanks, Cindy Hi Cindy, You can use a heated mattress pad with anything other than mattresses and toppers made with memory foam. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms. Memory foam is aka: visco foam, gel foam, slow recovery foam. Sciatica starts with a pinched nerve at the base of your spine. The pain radiates around the hip and down the leg. A nerve is being pinch by the vertebrae where the discs have worn. The best way to reduce/eliminate that kind of pain is the keep the vertebrae from pinching that nerve. This is best achieved by maintaining the natural alignment of your spine. The best material to use for this is a mattress made with an individually pocketed coil Thwarting any effort on your part is when you buy a mattress upholstered with memory foam. Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever and will cause any back problem to become worse. If you don’t have the proper support, adding a topper of any kind will end up being a total waste of money. If you have an individually pocketed coil mattress that’s upholstered with memory foam, you can get by for a few more years by first flipping the mattress over and adding a Suite Sleep Soft Organic Latex Topper.
