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.

My boyfriend slept on a Stearns and Foster Edgefield mattress while on vacation. He said that he had the best night's sleep he’s had in a very long time. I understand they don’t make this mattress anymore. Can you recommend an equivalent mattress made today? Is there a place where he can try the recommended mattress before committing to buy it? Thank you, Deb Hi Deb, The Edgefield was made when S&F was “The Cadillac of the Industry”. They had been considered that for many decades. They became nothing more than expensive junk as of January 2014, after Tempurpedic bought them the previous year. Not only is the Edgefield a discontinued model, the entire industry went bad. All of the name brands have been sold and all are using memory foam upholstery. It’s the memory foam that has caused a marked reduction in overall quality. Most stores have gone along with all of this. Most stores are a sea of mattresses upholstered with memory foam, because that’s where the profits are. Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and not under the terms of the warranty. They go bad quickly and you are stuck rebuying. Most people don’t know that memory foam is the problem, since the industry and sales people to a great job of promoting it…making it sound like the best thing since sliced bread. The result is constantly repeating the mistake. So, to answer your question, it is highly unlikely that you will find this mattress I’ll be recommending in any store near you to try. A google search is the best way to know for sure. We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them in 2013. It was at that time we had to go shopping at the industry trade shows to find high quality alternatives that have NO Memory Foam in them. The Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses is what we found to replace S&F. In fact, the specifications of these mattresses exceed those of the old S&F. There are 4 models in the Natura of Canada Greenspring line. The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable…without being too soft. Because the components of these mattresses are of such high quality, they all feel firmer than their comfort designations makes them sound. The S&F Edgefield was one of their firmest models. A suitable replacement that will produce a similar surface feel is their Luxury Firm model. Click on this link to view the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

I am replacing our king size guest bedroom bed with a queen. We love our Stearns & Foster Edgefield Classic, that we have in our master bedroom. Although I know mattresses are “supposed” to wear out after about 10 years, ours seems just as comfy and in same shape as when we bought it in the early 2000s. If we would like our guests to enjoy the same type comfort as our mattress, what would you suggest? Or would you suggest putting our S&F in the guest bedroom and getting a new mattress for the master? We have guests coming for The Memorial Day Weekend, so we will need it before then. Thanks, Laura Good Morning Laura, Replacing your S&F for something of equal quality isn’t something that can happen before Memorial Day. Your Edgefield is one of the last great mattresses made by S&F. S&F went from being considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades, to nothing more than expensive junk, literally, overnight…in January of 2014, due to Tempurpedic buying them the year before. Since then, all S&F mattresses are upholstered with memory foam. Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. Your Edgefield has no memory foam in it…which the main reason why it has lasted for so long. The time to replace a mattress is when you are no longer sleeping well. We carry a mattress from Wolf that's ideal for a guest bedroom...firm, contouring support for proper spinal alignment, a comfortable sleeping surface, and priced right for a guest bedroom. Your guests will love it.

I'm a big man...6'5" and 350 lbs....and I have some back pain that I deal with. My fiancée is much smaller...5'7" and about 135 lbs. She likes a soft mattress. The mattresses I've been buying haven't held up well and I'd like some advice as to what I should get. We don't have a lot of money to spend on this....$2000 max for queen size. Thanks, Joe Hi Joe, The only way to get something that will be soft enough for your fiancé and strong enough to hold up under a man your size and support your back properly, is to use high quality materials. The industry, as a whole and especially the name brands, are geared to selling mattresses that are specifically designed to need frequent replacing under average body weight, using memory foam upholstery on top. Memory foam is the poorest quality upholstery material ever invented. My recommendation comes in two parts.

I have hip/lower back pain and sometimes restless leg, ankle, and arms and needed to know which latex topper and/or mattress would be best. I toss and turn a lot and sometimes can't seem to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. I used to have neck pain and then bought a latex pillow and the pain is almost nonexistent, so I was leaning more towards latex but I am truly lost when it comes to everything else about it. Should I get medium or soft topper and try that before buying a whole new mattress or should I get a whole new mattress. Just need some insight and your prices seem to be the best I have found thus far. I am 5'6, 190lbs, side sleeper. Thanks! Peggy Hi Peggy, Latex is a phenomenal product. The benefits are extensive...be it a topper of a pillow. I, too, have suffered with chronic neck pain...arthritis on the left side of my neck. Since using a latex pillow, what used to be constant pain, has disappeared...as if by magic. The latex toppers are just as good, in the way they relieve pressure and pain. At your size, the Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper is your best choice. It comes in a very nice, organic cotton cover. FedEx Delivery is Fast It makes sense to start with the topper. When you do need to buy a mattress, you'll use the topper with it. Here is the link to those latex toppers. https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ 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 - TME VERY IMPORTANT: Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase its longevity.

I'm very interested in your Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Mattresses, but a little concerned because I’m not able to try the mattress. First of all, I noticed that the mattress contains wool. I have a problem with wool clothing in that it makes me itch and I’ll end up getting red from it. Will this be a problem with the mattress. Also not sure if I need Firm or Plush. Secondly I have broken my back 5 Times and have a lot of problems sleeping at night. I bought a Tempurpedic mattress which I exchanged for a softer one because I was unable to sleep comfortably at night. The comfort level did not improve with the new one and I have put up with it now for five years. I tried several mattresses today including the Simmons Beautyrest Black, Serra and Stearns and Foster. I found that the plush models were often too soft and didn’t provide enough support. I would like a mattress that is supportive but comfortable and doesn’t wake me up at night with sore hips and shoulders when I try sleeping on my side. Maybe I am asking for too much from a mattress. Buying a mattresses that comes rolled up in a box makes me a bit apprehensive. I like the idea of a person having to install it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 73 years old and haven’t had a good night’s sleep in over 15 years. Thanks so much, Diana Good Morning Diana, All of those mattresses that you tried and didn’t work for you have one thing in common that made it impossible for you to get comfortable. They are all upholstered with memory foam. Despite all the hype to the contrary, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented. It’s a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat. You then sink into it…further and further as the weeks and months go by. You’ve lost the alignment of your spine and you’re hitting the firmer materials that support it. Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and not under the terms of the warranty. Memory foam has many negative side effects and is simply a poor quality product. And as if all that weren’t bad enough, memory foam off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made. Trying before you buy was the way to go about all this back in the day before memory foam came to dominate the industry....when it was difficult to make a mistake. Now, it’s nothing more than a bad habit, since memory foam is so highly deceptive. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what my wife and I sleep on at home. Our mattress is still in like new condition after almost a decade, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. And even though I have several disc related back problems, I sleep and wake without back pain. The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of their 4 models, without being too soft by anyone’s standards. That is the mattress I recommend for you. Click on this link to view specifications and prices. https://www.themattressexpert.com/store/p142/Natura_Greenspring_Liberta_Ultra_Plush.html#/ The thin layer of wool acts as a natural fire retardant. Most other mattresses use chemicals for that. The wool is under a cotton cover. You then will add a waterproof mattress protector, or should. And, then there's your fitted sheet. Since the wool will not come in contact with you directly, you won't have a problem. This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery. Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.
