Hello Pete,
Thank you for all the valuable information I have found on your blog. We have recently begun our search for a new mattress as the one we are sleeping on is almost 12 years old and was great while it lasted, but those days are gone. We both sleep on our sides and back and have recently developed back pain. Lower for my husband and between the shoulders and neck for me. Another concern I have is overheating as I am of the wonderful age where that can be a problem. Thanks, Susan Hi Susan, Thee thing to avoid is any mattress upholstered with memory foam. It sleeps hot. And contrary to the advertising hype, it will make your back pain worse within months of purchase…not to mention the off gassing from the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. Nothing we carry has any memory foam in it. Which mattress I would recommend for you would depend on how much the two of you weigh. Here are my top recommendations. Best The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses, available in 4 choices of comfort. Highest coil count, all firmer than they sound. These are the mattresses we recommend for heavy people. My wife and I, each weighing more than 200 lbs., have been sleeping on the ultra plush model for more than 10 years, and it’s still in great condition.

These are the mattresses we recommend for average weight people. Medium for those on the lighter side of average. Medium Firm for those on the heavier side of average. Medium Firm for anyone on either side of average, who also have pre-existing back pain. Shown here: 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 AND… 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. Shown here: Magniflex Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations_and_bases.html#/ Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials. Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.
