Hello Pete,
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..

Hi Pete,
I noticed that I had been waking up with mild back pains every morning, which went away while on vacation. We then made the decision to replace my 20-year-old Sealy Posturepedic mattress. I went to my local store and spent hours trying out various mattresses before deciding on a Simmons Beautyrest, which felt absolutely wonderful in the store. But when we got our delivery, the mattress felt firmer than it did in the store. The salesman told us there was a breaking in period and to give the mattress a chance. The first night I slept on the new mattress, the mid-back pain I had been living with had dissipated. But after three nights on this new mattress, that mild ache has been replaced by a raging case of sciatica! Is this normal? My husband also has new back pains he has never had before. What can we do? We can't afford to buy another mattress. Thanks, Susan Hi Susan, You have a mattress that's providing you with good support. What you need now is surface comfort to relieve the pressure point pain and provide a deep night's sleep. Add a Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Latex Topper to that mattress, and you will be good to go. It's amazing, how well it works and it lasts for many years...a true quality item. Here is the link.

We have a memory foam mattress. I sleep on my side and the pain and numbness are unbearable. My leg and back pain are excruciating. What type of topper do you recommend? I am also sleeping hot. Thanks, Heather Hi Heather, The bad news is that you bought one of the worst mattresses possible...and for all the reason you mentioned. The good news is that there is an easy long term fix, that is reasonably inexpensive. That fix is a Suite Sleep Organic 2" Soft Latex Mattress Topper. Like the sun and the moon, night and day, the north pole and the equator...memory foam and latex foam are polar opposites....like comparing the worst to the best. Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material for the last 100 years. Memory foam has proven itself to be the absolute worst material ever invented, since it was introduced about 20 years ago. And, latex sleeps cool....while memory foam sleeps hot. The Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Latex Topper is made of the highest quality latex on the market. 100% pure, all natural, organic latex...no fillers or chemicals.

So far, you're two for two. The Wolf mattress and the Natura latex mattresses we got from you are great. I'm now looking to extend the life of my older Sealy Reflexion Huntington Beach latex mattress. I want to flip it over and add a latex topper. What is a good, soft 2" latex topper? The bed is queen size. Thank you, Dan Hi Dan, I’m happy to hear that you’re pleased. I’m not surprised, due to the high quality of the products we offer.. Suite Sleep has their Pure, Organic Soft Latex Topper, 2”, in queen size, in stock. You can order through this link. https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ Ordered today, it’ll arrive next week.

Like many of your blog posts indicate, there are lots of people with my same problem. I have a mattress that is, simply, too firm. Your advice points to adding a Suite Sleep Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper. I've done some shopping online and can find latex toppers for a lot lower price. What's up with that? Why the Suite Sleep over the others? Thanks, Gary Hi Gary, There's a very old saying, "You get what you pay for". Suite Sleep offers the highest quality latex toppers on the planet. The result is "Value", due to the many years you will enjoy their products. Latex starts as the sap from the rubber tree and the process it takes to turn it into a foam is quite expensive. Cheap latex is cheap for a reason. Cheap latex comes from Chine, where they use fillers, like clay, to reduce the cost of making it. The result is a product that needs replacing within months, not years. And because clay is a natural product, it's touted as all natural latex...never mentioning the clay filler. As a small child, I learned from my grandfather that there is no substitute for quality. High quality products last so much longer than poor quality products, which end up costing far less in the long run. So, the choice is yours...Buy the best and pay more now, or cheap out and spend a lot more with frequent replacing.

I haven't been lectured to in quite some time. But, what you say makes sense, so I'm not offended. Which one do I order...2" or 3", Soft or Medium Soft? Neither my wife nor I are large people. Thanks again, Gary Hi Gary, I'm glad you're not offended. Being offensive was not my intent. For maximum surface comfort, the 3" Soft is the best choice.

I have been trying to find a mattress that relieves my hip pain. I am a side sleeper and after a few hours the side of my hip/thigh starts to hurt (not the hip joint, but at the greater trochanter, top of the thigh bone where the pressure is as a side sleeper). I have to change sides and then the other side hurts after a while. I have tried several different kinds of mattresses, from medium - firm, with coils, memory foam, with and without pillowtop, but nothing really worked so far. I wonder if you think your mattress would help me. I am a 54 year old woman, healthy, 5 ft 4 inches, 110 lbs. Thanks, Miki Hi Miki, If your mattress is providing adequate support, but is just too firm, a long term fix is not a different mattress, but a soft latex mattress topper. It’s important that you don’t buy a memory foam topper or a cheap Chinese made latex topper. You’ll go though those in no time. Pure, hypoallergenic latex lasts for many years and does the best job of cushioning the body’s pressure points. At your size, the most comfortable latex topper is the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper …shown here. https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ FedEx shipping is Fast Delivery is Always Free Online ordering is Easy & Secure Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Or choose 4 Interest Free Bi-Monthly Payments with afterpay Thanks, Pete VERY IMPORTANT: Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase its longevity.

I'm going to give your Suite Sleep latex mattress toppers a try. Could you please recommend which of these toppers would be better for me? I have arthritis of the shoulder and lower back pain, but also very sensitive to smells and temperature!

Thanks for the recommendation. I rue the day I got rid of that old Stearns and Foster mattress. It was a great mattress for so many years, and at the time I didn't have a clue about latex toppers. The mattress I replaced it with is way too firm. May I ask why you recommend the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper? https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ I assume it will offset the firmness of this too firm mattress I bought to replace it. Thanks, Alison Good Morning Alison, A high quality latex mattress topper will add surface comfort to a too firm mattress, and last for years.

I had a cervical decompression surgery 18-20 months ago, resulting in fusion of C# thru C6. I'm limited to back and some side sleeping. However, my biggest issue is considerable to extreme shoulder pain during the night. I'm using a shredded latex pillow that I got from you in 2020, which provides me a lot of positioning options. However, with the shoulder pain, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions, drawn from your experience. Shoulder pain, numbness down into the upper arms and into the hands. And sometimes even a very sharp pain indicating perhaps a pinched nerve. I'm not looking for perfect, just some improvement in the pain and my sleep patterns. And, if you're wondering, I have talked with neurology and physical medicine. So, I'm not asking you to do my doctor's job. Thanks, Gerald Hi Gerald, As someone who suffers with chronic shoulder pain due to torn rotator cuffs in each shoulder, I can tell you what helps…none, of which, will fix anything. From what we sell, a 3” soft latex mattress topper provides cushioning that you won’t sink through. The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex is the most comfortable. Shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ From what we don’t sell, “Relief Factor” and “Glucosamine w/MSM” have helped me quite a bit. Costco has the Glucosamine and where I recommend starting. I use all three and have experienced marked reduction in pain over the last few years. **Please consult your physician before trying any of the medications mentioned above.** Delivery is Always Free Online ordering is Easy & Secure Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Or choose 4 Interest Free Bi-Monthly Payments with afterpay Thanks, Pete Every Mattress is Freshly Made to fill your order...Guaranteed!

I bought and need to replace a latex mattress topper, from you, back in 2015. Its worked great but is starting to disintegrate. Little pieces are falling off of it. Is this normal? If so, can you look at my order and see which one I bought? I may need a new one. It has holes in it. Thanks, David Hi David, Your latex topper was made by EverEden, a company who had their latex supply line badly disrupted during the earlier days of the pandemic. They no longer make latex toppers. The one you have is 100% Pure All-Natural Latex. We have since found another manufacturer, also with 100% Pure All-Natural Latex. But this time, it'll come with an organic cotton cover. You won't have to worry about pieces breaking off. The Suite Sleep 2" or 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper will be what to get.
