Hi Pete,
I ordered a queen size Sealy mattress from you, back in 2013. A few years ago, I got married and my husband insisted on buying a king size Sleep Number Bed. I’ve hated it all along, and wish I had never gotten rid of that Sealy mattress. I’ve been suffering with back pain for the last few years, and with the man who insisted on buying that horrible bed. I’m getting a divorce and need a mattress for myself, in queen size. I’m average in size and would love to get a mattress like my old one. Can you help me now, as you did all those years ago? Thanks, Mary Hi Mary, Unfortunately, your old mattress is no longer being made. In fact, Sealy isn’t Sealy anymore. Having been purchased by Tempur-Pedic just after you purchased your old Sealy. Nothing they make today is worth buying, due to the memory foam. However, I can still help you. The key to relieving back pain, is in maintaining the natural alignment of the body and spine, regardless of which sleeping position you’re in. Nothing does this better than an individually pocketed coil system. With this type of coil unit, each coil moves independently from one other, providing an independent suspension type of support with each coil providing the pushback against the spine needed to keep everything in your back in place. It’s important that your body not be permitted to sink, as it will with a mattress that’s upholstered with memory foam or gel foam. So, along with that coil system, it’s equally important that that mattress be upholstered with pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex foam. Together, you’ll experience proper support, comfort and longevity that gives your purchase long term value. At your size, I have 2 mattresses from which to choose…each offering different services. The lesser expensive of the two, The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress. This mattress ships via UPS to the front door and comes with a 100 Night Trial. The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes setup in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress. Here are links to each of those mattresses: 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 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 Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

I am very unhappy with my sleep number bed.My bed started going bad and it wasn't even a year old.
First the heating and cooling pump went bad then the mattress got a hole in it on the side. Now the air pumps won't hold air keep having to pump it up. I called customer service and they told me that the warranty was gone on heating and cooling after a year but the mattress was still partially covered They said it could be fixed for $800, after I just paid $5000. Totally would never buy again. David Hi David, Sleep Number does a fine job of hyping their product. They spend plenty of money doing it, which is why it costs so much. It’s a pity that they don’t invest enough to make it worthwhile. If it makes you feel any better, you’re not alone. I get lots of people writing with reviews like yours. Your complaint should be directed to the BBB and your state’s department of consumer affairs. If you would like a recommendation for a quality mattress, I’m here to help.

We’ve been through a couple of memory foam mattresses over the last few years. At first, we love the feel and sleep great. The problem comes a few months later. We feel like we’re sinking into it, like the mattress is sagging. But it doesn’t look like it’s sagging after we get up in the morning. When we sink into it, our backs start hurting and it takes a couple of hours to shake that off after we get up. The other things, that we were willing to live with, is the chemical odor and the warmth from the mattress after we’ve been in it for a few hours. Is there a high quality memory foam mattress that we won’t sink into, or smell, or feel warm? I’d like to get this figured out before our next purchase. Thanks, Larry Hi Larry, Yes. There is! Unlike the memory foam you’ve been buying, the Magniflex MemoForm Foam is not temperature sensitive and chemical free…which is what makes memory foam behave as it does. You get that cradling feel that you love from memory foam when it’s new…and stays that way for many years. No Sinking, No Sleeping Hot, No Chemicals to Off Gas. Here’s a link to the Magniflex line of mattresses: Magniflex MemoForm Foam Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/magniflex.html#/ Since you seem to have a sensitive back, I recommend that you consider one of the MagniStretch mattresses.

I am 38 years old, 5'11' 170lbs and my wife is 5'7' 135lbs. I have a mild case of scoliosis and sleep on my back and side but would say I sleep on my side about 75% of the time. Could you please give me a #1 and #2 mattress option. Price is not a factor. I just want to get the best bed for me. Thanks, Angelo Hi Angelo, Your best, overall, choice is an individually pocketed coil and latex upholstery…both designed to promote proper spinal alignment, unparalleled comfort and durability….the kind of longevity that causes the mattress to feel like new for many years. Then there’s the difference between, “Best & Best Value”. 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.

I spent much of last night reading your blog posts. Your knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge is most impressive. We’re older folks with the usual back, hip and shoulder aches and pains. After reading, you have me sold on a pocketed coil mattress with latex. You refer to them as a Latex Hybrid. The catch is that we need white glove delivery where the delivery guys will bring the mattress to the bedroom, put it on our platform bed and take our old mattress away. We have, absolutely, no way of doing that on our own. We’re only a little heavier than average size people. We like what I’ve seen to say, firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface. What mattress would you recommend? Thanks, Frank Hi Frank, The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress fits all of your needs and wants. Shown here: 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 The individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine, which is the best you can do to relieve chronic back pain. The plush, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery provides extraordinary comfort that feels like you’re floating, which relieves your other body aches. Delivery will be scheduled with you. When the delivery people arrive, all you have to do is point to where it goes. They will set it up for you, remove your old mattress and all of the packaging materials. Nothing could be easier for you. 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.

I'm a petite female with wide hips, shopping for new mattress. Current one is Sealy that is only a few yrs old. But lately, I have been having pain in both hips when I sleep on my side(s). This causes me to awake and flip to other side. Additionally, my back is sore every morning. Any ideas on what I should shop for? Thanks, Madge Hi Madge, There’s, “What to shop For”, and what to Avoid. What you have and all of the other “Name Brands” have been sold to other companies that have been using memory foam to upholster their mattresses. But, it’s not only them. Many mattress manufacturers are using memory foam. It’s the memory foam that you need to avoid. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body’s heat. This softening are allowing your body to sink and it’s this sinking-in, that is causing your problems. Other common problems associated with memory foam are: Sleeping Hot Off Gassing of the toxic chemicals that are used to make the most commonly used memory foam, which results in respiratory issues. (What to shop for) A mattress with individually pocketed coils and latex upholstery. The coils provide pushback support while each moving independently from one another. This type of support maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine. Pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex provides unparalleled comfort that feels like you’re floating, and does so over many years.

I love your site - it's very informative. I have a mattress that's about 6 years old that I spent a good amount of money on. I think it's too firm and have been waking up very stiff and with lower back pain. I can't really afford a new mattress at this time. Do you honestly think that a 2” latex topper would help me? Thanks for any advice, Gina Hi Gina, Absolutely! Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Soft Latex is extraordinarily comfortable…3” more so than 2”. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere.

Can I put this 2" latex topper on top of a Temperpedic mattress without ruining the mattress? Will it help with my back pain? Will it sleep cooler? Thanks, Florence Hi Florence, Yes. A latex topper will insulate you from the memory foam, which is the source of both of your problems. Memory foam allows you to sink, which is why your back hurts. Memory foam is temperature sensitive, absorbing your body’s heat and reflecting it back to you. I recommend applying the latex topper to both, the top of your mattress and the flip side. Many who do this have reported better results by flipping the mattress before adding the latex topper. The memory foam is only on the top. The flip side is high density polyurethane foam. The very best prices on the highest quality pure, organic latex toppers, is had from Latex for Less. Click on this link to view them and place your order.

I understand that getting that exact mattress is hard for the average retail customer. So, I’m looking for the best readily available alternative. I’m 6 foot tall and weigh 210 lbs, wife is 5 foot 8 inches tall and weighs 160 lbs. Thanks, Myron Hi Myron, My recommendation is the Williams Kingston Plush Mattress. 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 It uses the same coil system as the Sealy, an individually pocketed coil unit, which is designed to maintain the natural alignment of the body & spine. However, the Plush, Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex upholstery is far superior to anything Sealy uses. This highest quality latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 + years…providing extraordinary comfort like you’re floating and lasting for many years. This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery. Delivery includes setup in your bedroom, removal of your old mattress and removal of all packing materials.

I'm in my mid-70's, have had two knee replacements, a reverse shoulder replacement and am about to have surgery for a torn gluteus medius tendon in my hip. Plus I have low-back pain. I'm a side sleeper and have an adjustable extra-long twin bed. I ache all the time. My bed is too firm and lying on my side, pressure points, like the trochanter muscle, hurt. I just realized my current mattress is OLD - a Simmons we bought in 2006! My brother recently bought a Sealy Posturepedic Highpoint Plush mattress and he loves it. Says he no longer has aches and pains. I think this is a hybrid? Coils and some foam? I can't imagine buying a mattress without first trying it out to compare. Are the brands you recommend sold in stores too? Thank you, Beverly Hi Beverly, I don’t think that I can be of much help to you…other than suggesting that you buy a soft latex topper for the mattress you have. None of the mattresses that we carry are available for you to try in stores. Here’s the topper link: Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers100% Natural Latex Mattress Topper | Latex For Less Thanks, Pete - TME ********* Hi Pete, Which mattress would you recommend? Not sure a topper would work with an adjustable bed. Thanks, Beverly Hi Beverly, An individually pocketed coil with soft latex upholstery, is the type of mattress. This preserves the natural alignment of the body and spine. Latex provides comfort that doesn’t allow you to sink, nor does it sleep hot. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is extremely well made and reasonably priced. It comes in Medium, if you’re light to average in body weight, or Medium Firm if you’re heavier. The latex is the highest quality available, pure, organic and hypoallergenic. High quality latex is also the most durable of all upholstery materials. Since you can’t try before buying, this mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial. Here’s the link you’ll need to view that mattress, and to place your order, should you decide to buy it.
