Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Financing Available Follow us on Facebook & Instagram A Question for TME: We’ve finally decided to make the plunge and replace our old S&F King Plush Mattress after 14 years - it was a great mattress, but it's just not holding up well any longer. Went looking at a few places this weekend and found a few plush mattresses that we liked, they are out of reach for us, as far as price goes. However, and after reading some of your blog posts, we are considering going with a firmer, less expensive quality mattress and adding a 2" latex topper? We’re wondering how this setup might compare to those we tested from a feel and durability perspective. I'm ~115 lbs, but my husband is 6'7", ~260 lbs. What’s our best option at the lowest possible price? Thanks for any help you can provide. Hello, So much has changed since your previous mattress purchase. All of the name brands have been sold and the result is much lower quality and higher profit margins. There's really no question that a firm mattress and a 2" soft latex topper will out-perform any plush mattress you can buy at most stores today. Latex toppers, while soft, are extremely resilient. They absorbs much of your body weight, leaving less work for the mattress. And, you’ll need the support of a firm mattress to hold up under your husband’s size. Your best/least expensive mattress option, without sacrificing the quality you need is had from Eco-Terra. Their Hybrid Latex Mattress in Medium Firm and a Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Topper from Latex for Less is what you’ll need and want for support comfort and longevity.

Hi Pete, My spouse and I have been sleeping on a 9-10 yr. old Beauty Rest Black, “Edenton” Lux Firm mattress along with a 2” soft latex topper.
We’ve been thinking it’s probably ready for replacing them, but are waiting until we can better afford to do so. We have a platform bed along with an “Avenco Hybrid” mattress that has been in our guest bedroom for two years, which has been used maybe 4-5 times, for about a week each time. Our eldest daughter will be moving in and using that guest bedroom which requires us to remove the bed in there as she’s keeping her own. We’re not sure which mattress to keep for our bedoom…. the older Beautyrest Black or switch it out for the newer Avenco Hybrid. I weigh 155 lbs and my spouse 150. I have disc problems and we’re both in our mid 70’s, so shoulders and to some degree, hips, have been hurting for both of us. I’m just afraid if we part with the older BR Black and keep the Avenco or vise versa, we might be making the wrong decision on which one gets discarded. Thanks so much, Pete- you are our expert! Sam Hi Sam, You have one of the last mattresses made by Simmons. Almost immediately afterwards, Simmons was sold to an investment group that also bought Serta. What you have is far superior to the mattress in your guest bedroom. The latex topper has absorbed all of your body weight, which has preserved the mattress, which should still be like new as a result of using that topper. If you haven’t done so, rotate the mattress and flip the topper over. You’re nowhere near needing a new mattress, since it hasn’t worn much over the years. In fact, given your sizes and ages, you can expect that mattress, used with a latex topper, should last you for the rest of your lives. It is probable that you need a new topper. Is so, Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Toppers available anywhere. You might consider a 3” Soft for extra comfort, given your shoulder and hip discomfort. If ordering a new topper, be sure to order the organic cotton cover to go with it, which is optional.

We have an very old Bassett Mangrove Bay latex mattress and have flipped it as you suggested. That helped to relieve the backache tremendously, but now it’s too firm for comfort. We are interested in the latex topper and need help deciding between soft and medium. I loved the Mangrove Bay until the backache started, which is now not a problem, thanks to you. Any info on which way to go with the latex topper will be greatly appreciated. I would like to order ASAP! Thanks – Susan Hi Susan, Pure, Organic Latex is extremely resilient. A soft topper is what you’ll want for comfort… 3” more so than 2”. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex available anywhere. Here’s the link.

Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Financing Available Follow us on Facebook & Instagram  Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers Hi TME, Scrolling through the blog posts, you seem to recommend the Natura of Canada Greenspring ultra plush mattress quite a bit, and it’s in our price range. You say it’s appropriate for someone on the heavy side but not off the charts (at heaviest close to 240 lb. max, currently 230 and dieting) with an only slightly heavy partner. If so, how many years would it be expected to last before needing to be replaced? Also does it need to be rotated regularly? Thanks. Greg Hi Greg, Of all the mattresses we’ve encountered while shopping at the industry trade shows, the Natura Greenspring are the strongest, most durable mattresses we could find. My wife and I have been sleeping on their ultra plush model for close to 12 years now. I weighed 275 when we first got it, but have lost weight since then. We both weigh more than 200 lbs. today. Rotating a mattress regularly does add to the longevity, which we have done over the years we’ve had ours. Here’s a link to our Care & Maintenance manual. So yes, the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is my recommendation for people your size. Here’s the link to that mattress: Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-ultra-plush/92?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Financing Available Follow us on Facebook & Instagram  Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Hi TME, I have an old queen size luxury firm mattress, that we bought in 2012. It still seems to be fine, but as I get older, I find my hips hurt while sleeping on my side. What topper do you recommend for more comfort and hip pain relief? And if I decide to buy a new mattress, which would you recommend? Thank you for your expert advice. Hello, You’d be surprised by how much the mattress industry has changed over the years. When you bought yours, it was hard to buy a bad mattress. Things started changing a couple of years later, when Sealy and S&F were sold to Tempurpedic. Simmons and Serta were sold a couple of years after that. Today, you have to be a pretty savvy buyer to find a mattress worth buying. The wide spread use of memory foam is reason for decline in quality. A mattress without memory foam isn’t something that’s easily found at almost every store. If your mattress is still providing you with adequate support and all you need is additional comfort, then a topper is the way to go. Which brings us to the next story in the evolution of the mattress industry. Pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex has always been the best upholstery material. But traditionally, it had been very expensive. Fast forward to the Covid pandemic, which badly disrupted the latex supply chain. Post pandemic, the manufacturers of this high quality, pure latex from Sri Lanka, reached out to the US mattress manufacturing industry, eliminating their previous middle men, which greatly lowered the price of the latex to the manufacturers. Today, many companies that are using this latex in their mattresses, are selling online directly to the public, which further lowers the prices for the consumer, especially over buying from a retailer/middle man. Complicating all this is China. Chinese made latex includes clay as a filler, which allows it to be sold as “all natural” latex. It doesn’t wear nearly as well as “pure” latex, so you have to be careful. Here’s a link to a manufacturer who has the lowest prices on pure latex mattress toppers. “Latex for Less” Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Toppers https://www.latexforless.com/products/latex-topper?variant=134346899481&sscid=71k8_rmsu0&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 2” Soft or Medium should do it for you, considering the mattress you have. Soft provides more comfort than medium. Most popular is the 3” Soft, which provides the most luxurious feel. Be sure to opt for the organic cotton cover to go with it. This should be enough for you to avoid needing to buy a new mattress for several more years. What I recommend for mattresses today, is also a factory direct company, which makes mattresses using the same pure latex upholstery. PlushBeds Mattress have a nice selection of premium mattresses that provide excellent support, comfort and longevity.

Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Financing Available Follow us on Facebook & Instagram  “Latex for Less” Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Toppers Mattress for a Sleeping on a Cloud-Like Feel that Lasts Most of the mattresses sold today, are upholstered with memory foam, which is purposefully designed to need frequent replacing. Add to that, the chemical off gassing and body heat retention (sleeping hot), you have a product developed by those who were looking to maximize profits. That it’s attained to the detriment of the consumer, makes it diabolical… and to be completely avoided. To get that cloud-like feel, first requires the knowledge of physics that tells you that the softer an upholstery material is, the shorter the lifespan. And, the more pressure placed on it, the shorter the lifespan… so, under these circumstances, at least, size matters. The way around the physics of all this comes in 2 parts, with an eye on quality components that wear well. However, very heavy people should just forget about it, as such a degree of softness will be incredibly expensive to maintain for any real length of time. First Part… The Mattress The softest mattress upholstered with high quality, more resilient materials… a pillowtop mattress upholstered with Soft, Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Foam. Pure Latex is and has been the longest lasting upholstery material for more than 100 years. No off gassing… No Sleeping Hot. Pure latex remains like new for years, with a total longevity that lasts for many more. Caveat: (Latex imported from China is not pure. Clay is used as a filler. You must be careful, because it’s sold as “All Natural”, even “Organic”. Not being pure, it doesn’t last very long.) The mattress I’m recommending uses a strong, individuality pocketed coil system, which provides an independent suspension type of support. These coils contour to the natural shape of your body and spine. Even if you were able to lie directly on the coils alone, with no padding, it would feel comfortable. This type of support is ideal for relieving even chronic back pain. The pillowtop part of this mattress is filled with the Softest Purest, Organic Dunlop Latex Foam…. Covered with Organic Cotton. This pillowtop mattress, all on its own, is extremely comfortable by almost anyone’s standards… which brings us to that “Cloud-Like” feel… a standard above. Second Part… The Mattress Topper When you consider the previous physics lesson, it’s better to achieve that final, “Cloud-Like” step, with a product that’s reasonably inexpensive, so that you can replace it every couple of years without having to buy a new mattress. This Super Soft mattress topper is filled with a down alternative, providing the incredible softness of down, without the flattening out that comes easily with real down. NOTE: If you already have a good mattress, just get the topper. Here are the links to each of these PlushBeds products. PlushBeds is one of the leading manufacturers in this industry today.
