Hi Pete,
I am looking for a mattress, but I’m a bit overwhelmed. I would like a firm mattress that will support my weight, over 300 lbs. I have low back problems, causing severe pain. It looks like a firm mattress with a soft latex mattress topper would be the best choice, but I am not sure which bed would be best. I want a mattress that will last. I have been sleeping in a recliner since I hurt my back. The last time I tried to sleep in a bed, I only made it two hours before my back ached so bad I had to get up & move to a chair. I miss stretching out in a bed! Help!! Please! Thanks, Monica Hi Monica, Your assessment is correct. Adding a soft latex topper to a firm mattress does more than provide surface comfort. It absorbs much of your weight, which adds years of life to a mattress, giving you the longevity you want. The strongest are the Natura Greenspring Mattresses. My wife and I have their ultra plush model. It’s more than 10 years old and still in great condition, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. For you, I recommend their Luxury Firm model and a 2” Soft Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Topper from Latex for Less. Here are links to each of those products: Natura Greenspring Luxury Firm Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-luxury-firm/79?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers 100% Natural Latex Mattress Topper | Latex For Less 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.
