Hi Pete,
I have mild scoliosis. My back is at about 17 degrees and has an S curve, with most pain in the low and middle back due to muscle spasms. I'm sleeping on a 20+-year-old mattress with a memory foam topper, but I am getting little to no support. I want to get something for better support, but I have no idea where to start. I am 5'8, 150 lbs, and a side sleeper. thanks in advance! Katherine Hi Kathrine, The key to sleeping without pain is to keep your spine in its natural alignment. Nothing does that better than an individually pocketed coil system, with all of the coils moving independently from one another…providing firm, but contouring support. A mattress like that with pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery, which provides comfort that doesn’t allow you to sink into it, which is what memory foam does. Once you sink into the memory foam upholstery, you’ve eliminated the natural alignment that your condition absolutely requires. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium is my recommendation for you, considering your size. This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial and in On Sale.

Hi Pete,
I'm looking for a full size mattress for my son who is 12 so would like it to take him through his teens etc. He currently has an old Serta Perfect Sleeper in twin I believe it is firm. I want another that is firm, but not too firm like a rock. Would like to get him a nice full size comfortable mattress that is priced well. No box spring needed. Thanks, Gail Hi Gail, The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress in Medium is my recommendation. The pocketed coils of this mattress will provide excellent support. The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery provides comfort that is extremely long lasting. It’s priced right, currently On Sale and comes with a 90 Night Trial.

My grandmother has severe Rheumatoid arthritis and is particularly sore in the mornings as her body is stiff. Could you recommend which mattress/es would benefit her the most so I can look into prices. Thank you so much! Eleanor Hi Eleanor, A mattress that uses an individually pocketed coil system for support will help to relieve pressure on the body, while also maintaining the natural alignment of her body and spine. One that’s upholstered with soft, pure, organic latex will add to relieving surface pressure. Latex provides the feeling of floating. Which mattress will depend on her size. If she’s light to average in weight, the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium is an excellent choice. If she’s a bit heavier, the same mattress in Medium Firm. If she requires a white glove delivery service, including removal of her old mattress, the Williams Kingston Plush Mattress is best. If she’s very heavy, the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is recommended. (The Greenspring Mattress is not as soft as it sounds, due to the high quality of the components. It won’t be too soft.) All of the above mattresses are pocketed coil/latex hybrids. Here are links to all 3 mattresses: The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/kingston-plush/105?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=TBPEGMF6GAOUPNC4SCBQMGLT Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-ultra-plush/92?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation. The mattress won’t feel or wear as it should due to weak spots that develop in an old foundation. And, doing so will void the warranty of any mattress. If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray. They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed. They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

I am in the market to replace my ancient queen mattress/box springs but am dealing with a couple of issues: 1) My husband and I are heavy people, around 200 lbs and are around the same height. We are both side sleepers. 2) I have back pain/degenerated discs and he has bad knees/feet. I suppose I am looking for something sturdy (resistant to sagging) that will address the pain issues. Neither likes a soft mattress. I would like to keep it around $3000. Thanks, Beth Hi Beth, There is a mattress that is made for heavy people, that will address your back pain, but not one that’s specifically designed to help with knees and feet. My wife and I are heavy. Each of us are more than 200 lbs. The mattress we have is over 10 years old and still in great shape. It was the best we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows…The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

I am looking for a new queen size mattress. I am replacing my full pillow top englander that is 15+ years old. It actually has been a great bed for the money. I have chronic lower back problems and sleep on my side or stomach. Thanks, Carol Hi Carol, Today’s pillowtops are much thicker than they were 15 years ago. As a result, they sag quite easily. So, it’s better to get a mattress without a pillowtop and add a mattress topper, (a removable pillowtop), if you want more softness. A good mattress to start with is the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss in Medium if you’re of average weight, or Medium Firm if you’re heavy. This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial and is On Sale. The individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that is designed to maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. The Soft, Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex upholstery provides extraordinary comfort, like you’re floating, and is incredibly long lasting. Here’s a link to that mattress: The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 If you do find that you want to make it softer, Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex mattress toppers.

I have a lot of sleep issues and need help choosing the right mattress. I've been an insomniac for more than 25 years. I am the lightest sleeper on the face of the Earth! If my boyfriend slightly moves a foot, I wake. Also, I have degenerative discs in my low back and if a mattress is not firm enough, my lower back kills the next day. I prefer to sleep on my stomach, but I toss throughout the night because of my back. I also have severe airborne allergies and my doctors have recommended that I get a new mattress and encase it in a product that keeps allergens and critters from entering and staying in the mattress. Can you recommend a product? In the 3 years I've been with my boyfriend I've only been able to successfully sleep with him when we stay at very nice hotels on very nice king beds. This is hard on a relationship when you can't sleep in the same bed! So, I have a lot of issues, please give me some recommendations for an appropriate king size bed. Thank you!

My husband and I recently purchased a Simmons Beautyrest mattress. We've had it for three weeks now, and I'm beginning to develop lower back pains. I'm 5'4", 125 lbs and have never had back issues. The mattress feels fine initially, but as the night wears on, I get more uncomfortable. I don't know whether to try a softer mattress or harder one. Please help! Thanks, Nance HI Nance, It’s not a question of firmness. It’s the memory foam upholstery that’s causing your pain. Memory foam is the only temperature sensitive material being used to upholster mattresses. It softens as it warms from your body’s heat…allowing you to sink into it, which throws off the alignment of your body and spine. THIS is what’s causing your back pain. Simmons and Serta were sold in 2016. Sealy and S&F in 2013. All of these “name brands”, that you could once trust to make a quality mattress have changed their focus to profits instead. Memory foam is what they all chose to achieve this. None of them have made a mattress worth buying since being sold. Much of the mattress industry has done a fine job of promoting memory foam as the best thing since sliced bread…when, in fact, it’s proven to be the worst upholstery material ever invented.
Four excellent reasons to avoid any mattress with memory foam in it. At your height and weight, I recommend the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium. This mattress uses Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex foam. Latex is and has been the highest quality upholstery material for the last 100+ years, providing long lasting comfort with NONE of the side effects associated with memory foam. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial. Click on this link to view that mattress and place your order.

We’re in a mattress quandary. I like a firm mattress, my wife wants something a little softer, but not so soft you sink into the mattress. The mattress we now have is very firm and for a few years we've had a memory foam topper on it. My wife likes it but I don't. We took it off last night and I slept fine, but she tossed and turned because it was too firm. What kind of mattress would be a good choice to accommodate the both of us? Thanks, Mike Hi Mike, You don’t need a new mattress. You need a latex topper. Latex is quite different from memory foam in every respect. Latex creates the feel that you’re floating. Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is the best available. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on this highest quality latex. Click on this link. 2” Soft strikes me as being your best option.

My friend has purchased several mattresses from you, over the last couple of decades, and says you are the go to guy. Presently, we have a Tempurpedic which hubby loves because of his acid reflux (mechanical bed) but I get a back ache. Two questions: Is there anything I can do to my extra long twin side to remedy that situation? Secondly, we need a new bed to go into a different home. Any recommendations? My back seldom bothers me, but I am getting older, 64 & 160 lbs. The Temperpedic seems to aggravate my back and I still want to sleep with him. Help this 42 year marriage. Thanks, Mary Hi Mary, You may have a very easy fix for that. It’s the memory foam that’s on top of your mattress that’s causing your back pain. Memory foam allows you to sink into it, which throws off the natural alignment of your body and spine. Take your mattress and flip it over. The underside is firm polyurethane foam, which won’t allow your body to sink. It’s very likely to be too firm for comfort, so just add a 2” or 3” Soft Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Topper for extraordinary comfort that lasts for years, creating the feeling that you’re floating. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex mattress toppers. Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers 100% Natural Latex Mattress Topper | Latex For Less For your other home, a mattress with individually pocketed coils for support and pure, organic latex upholstery, is my recommendation.
