Hey Pete, I need help purchasing a really good mattress. I’m a really big guy (6’4” 450+). My wife is 5’4, 200. We have a Simmons Beautyrest from 2022. It’s completely broken down, and we are still paying on it. The warranty claim was denied due to soiling. We will be paying on this thing until 2025. (Ridiculous, I know.) This mattress is causing us back, hip and neck pains. The side stitching has come apart, and literally have to stuff it back into the mattress. What would be a good bed we could get that will stand up? Thanks, Joe Good Morning Joe, There isn't a name brand mattress, made today, that will long withstand the weight of average size people...let alone, a man your size. Brands that you once could rely upon for quality, have all been sold to investors who are now making high profit/low quality mattresses. The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm and a Suite Sleep 2" Medium Soft Organic Latex Topper. Shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ This mattress uses a double tempered pocketed coil unit with latex upholstery. This particular model is very firm...too firm to sleep on comfortably. The latex topper will do two things...provide the surface comfort you and your wife need to sleep deeply, and prevent the mattress from wearing by absorbing much of your body weight. Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. High quality, Pure Latex lasts for years. So as the years go by, you should only need to replace the topper from time to time. Since there is a substantial difference in weight between you and your wife, it will be imperative that you rotate your new mattress regularly to attain more even wear, which will extend the comfort life of the bed....once a month. If the mattress is a king size, I suggest a quarter turn rotation. Only a king is square enough to pull this off. The quarter turn rotation will enhance the even wear of the mattress. The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of all packing materials.

Hi Pete, I'm hoping you can help us. My husband and I are very heavy people. He's 6' 4" and weighs 350 lbs. I'm 5' 10" and weigh a little over 300 lbs. We can't afford having to buy a new mattress every year, as we have done for the last 5 years. Before that, we had a 15 year old Stearns and Foster mattress. I just can't get over the lack of quality these past 5 mattresses have, including S&F. Is there a very high quality mattress that will accommodate our weights and be comfortable over time? Thanks, Debbie Hi Debbie, Stearns and Foster had been 'The Cadillac of the Industry' for decades. That changed in 2013, when they were purchased by Tempurpedic. The reduction in quality is due to the memory foam upholstery used in most of today's mattresses. You can no longer rely on any of the name brands to produce the quality they once had produced. All of them have been sold and all of them are upholstering their mattresses with memory foam. For the quality you're looking for, we offer a line of mattresses that are made in Canada. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are very high quality, and what we sleep on, at home. We aren't your sizes, both of us over 200 lbs. We have the Ultra Plush model that is now more than 9.5 years old. It is, still, in like new condition. Your additional weight will require a different choice of products. My recommendation is the Natura of Canada Greenspring in "Firm". Shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ The Natura Greenspring series combines the natural elements, such as wool and latex. But it has a specially designed pocketed coil system to provide your body with extra support. The strength of the double tempered steel coils and the firm latex upholstery will combine to provide very long lasting support to accommodate your weights...over many years. For surface comfort, add a Suite Sleep 2" Soft Organic Latex Topper. Shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ This latex topper does a couple of things. 1) It provides long lasting surface comfort like nothing else available on the planet. 2) Because latex is the most resilient of all the foams, it will absorb much of your body weight, which adds to the longevity of the mattress. 3) Because it's removable, it allows you to replace only the topper, as the years go by, without having to buy a new mattress nearly as frequently. The mattress comes with white glove delivery, Delivery includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of all packing materials. The latex topper arrives via FedEx Delivery is Always Free Online ordering is Easy & Secure Visa, M/C, Discover, Amex Or choose 4 Interest Free Bi-Monthly Payments with afterpay Thanks, Pete Every Mattress is Freshly Made to fill your order...Guaranteed!

Like a down pillow, you can manipulate the shredded latex to mold around your head and neck. Unlike a down pillow, shredded latex lasts for many years.

I know it's causing this degradation in my body. I'm a heavy side sleeper. Which of your Suite Sleep latex toppers would you suggest??? Thank you so much, Heidi Hello Heidi, It’s the memory foam on top of your mattress that is causing your problems. The good news is that your mattress is not all memory foam. Under the memory foam is high density poly foam. So, before doing anything else, flip your mattress over. To soften it, add a layer of pure latex. I recommend the Suite Sleep Organic Latex Topper. It’s available in soft and medium soft, 2” or 3” thick. The 3” Soft provides the greatest degree of surface comfort. The 2” Medium Soft is the most durable choice. Which I would recommend would depend on your size, height and weight.

Hi Pete, A friend referred me to you. They have a Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress. They told me that The Mattress Expert sleeps on this mattress. Anyway, I was able to try theirs and it felt amazing. I want to buy one! Please send me the link to that mattress, so that I can place my order. Thanks, Chris Hi Chris, Thank your friend for me.

All Items Made Factory Fresh to Fill Your Order Follow us on Facebook  Hi Pete, I want your opinion on what type of mattress is best for me. I am 44 yrs. old, 185 pounds. I am typically an active person and actually teach dance. I have suffered over the last 5 years due to my dancing and I now have 3 herniated discs causing lower back pain. I have had a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge mattress for about 8 years now. For the first few years it was comfortable, but now, not so much! I've done a lot of research on the mattress industry and what a scam it is! I'm frustrated! I want a mattress that gives me support with no gimmicks. Thank you, Kristi Hi Kristi, I have several disc related back problems, including herniated discs. The mattress my wife and I sleep on allows me to sleep and wake without back pain, which is now more than several years old and still in like new condition…and that’s with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. That same mattress will work for you on a long term basis. The latex upholstery is partly responsible for the longevity and is also the best material available for relieving tired and sore muscles. The coil system is the same type used in a Simmons Beautyrest. The coil count is much higher and the coils are stronger than those used by Simmons. I’m recommending the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress. Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

All Items Made Factory Fresh to Fill Your Order Follow us on Facebook Hello Pete, I currently have a four year old, what appears to be, a firm or med mattress. Much to my disappointment, I routinely wake up to lower back pain. I have been reading your review and responses to various inquires. Like some of your respondents I too experience morning pain, for me lower back and neck/thoracic area. Both are related to old injuries. I am 63, very active with outdoor sports year-round, in very good physical shape , at 5'10, 205 lbs. Last week I spent 7 nights on a Simmons Hyde Park Plush Simmons Beautyrest hotel mattress. Each day I awoke without any pain. I have not been able to find the model on line. Do you know of a similar product? Best, Dave Hi Dave, The lack of pain from that hotel mattress comes from: That mattress having an individually pocketed coil unit. No memory foam. Unfortunately, these older hotel mattresses are no longer being made without memory foam. Simmons was sold to an investment group after that mattress was made. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what I’d recommend for you…providing the same type of support as that older Beautyrest…and upholstered with latex and containing no memory foam. Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. That older hotel mattress is upholstered with polyurethane foam. As latex is much more expensive than poly foam, it was seldom used in hotel mattresses. You and I are the same size and I’m several years older. I’ve had a number of disc related back problems for the past couple of decades. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what my wife and I have been sleeping on for the last 9.5 years. And for all of those years I have slept and awakened without back pain. And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., our mattress remains in like new condition. It’s, simply, the best mattress you’ll find anywhere.

All Items Made Factory Fresh to Fill Your Order Follow us on Facebook Hi Pete, HELP, PLEASE!! I feel shell shocked from all the online searching sites trying to find a healthy mattress to zzzz, on! Where should I search for one that doesn't off gas? Thanks, John Good Morning John, It’s not so much about where to buy, as it is what not to buy. To make a successful mattress purchase, the key is to buy a mattress with no common memory foam in it. Despite all the sales hype to the contrary, common memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented. It wears quickly, sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made. Unfortunately, most stores are pushing memory foam upholstered mattress, due to the high profits. If you can't find a mattress with no memory foam, locally, check out our website.

But I'm older too, and I need to make it more comfortable. Which latex mattress topper would you recommend that will give me for comfort at the surface?
