​Hi Pete,
​When should I replace my Suite Sleep 3” Pure Vita Talalay mattress topper? I purchased it from you back in 2015. 
Sincerely, Cassie


Hi Cassie,
The Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Toppers are made of the highest quality, longest lasting Talalay Latex on the planet.
How long they last is generally determined by body weight.
As with any upholstery material, the lighter you are, the longer it lasts.
There is no set time to replace any upholstered product.
The time to replace it, is when you are no longer comfortable.


Here’s the link, for when that time comes:

​Hi Pete,
My wife has an adjustable bed that she needs elevated to breathe.
Her bed measures 28” in overall height.
I need a good quality, comfortable mattress that I can put next to hers, but it too, must measure the same height. 
Something with a medium to firm feel, but not too firm.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks, Jake

Hi Jake,
I sure can.
The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm is a very high quality mattress, using individually pocketed coils for maintaining proper spinal alignment and pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery for long lasting surfaces comfort…comfortable, but neither too firm nor too soft.
That mattress measures 12” in height.

​Hi Pete,
I’m looking for a long lasting, high quality mattress with NO memory foam in it.
(Been there, done that…never again).
I’d like something that reasonably priced. Many cost many thousands of dollars.
I prefer something that has firm support and a comfortable top.
I’m an older, average size female and I sleep alone.
What can you recommend that won’t need to be replaced in a few short years?
Thanks, Wilma

Hi Wilma,
I see you learned the memory foam lesson, the hard way.

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium is an excellent choice.
The individually pocketed coil provide firm, yet contouring support that is designed to maintain the natural alignment of your body and spine.
The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery provides comfort that lasts for many years, with no off gassing, no sleeping hot and no sinking in.
These problems that are common with memory foam, simply do not exist with latex.

This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial Period.

​Hi Pete,
What’s the best mattress for children?
I’d like a mattress that I won’t have to replace before they’re grown and gone.
And, it’s very important that it doesn’t off gas any toxic fumes.
And, it can’t cost a lot.
What can you show me?
Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress in Medium, or Medium Firm for large children, is your best value…providing firm contouring support to maintain proper spinal alignment throughout their growth years, and pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery that provides surface comfort that doesn’t off gas and will last an extremely long time.
This mattress comes with a 90 day trial.

​Hi Pete,
My wife always liked our mattress to be high off the ground.
She said it made her feel like a princess.
I never liked it that way, but went along with her wishes.
Recently, she twisted her ankle and is finding it difficult to get in and out of bed.
How can I lower the height of our mattress?
Any help would be appreciated. Mark

Hi Mark,
There are a couple of ways to lower the height of a mattress.
The least expensive is by changing your bed frame to a Rize Low Profile.
These frames measure 4.5” off the ground, compared to the standard 7” height.
Shown here:

Also Available:
The Magniflex KD Foundation in low profile, which measures only 5”, instead of the usual 8” or 9” standard height box spring.

​Hi Pete,
I have an advanced case of Fibromyalgia.
A memory foam topper was recommended by a salesman at a local store.
It didn’t help.
What is the softest latex topper available?
I’ve heard they’re the best.
What do you recommend?
Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,
You have to be careful not to get a latex topper that’s made in China.
They use clay as a filler. The clay allows it to be sold as “All Natural Latex”.
The clay lowers the price and greatly reduces the longevity.

You’ll want “Pure” latex, as pure latex lasts for many years.
The Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper is softer than any other.
Shown here:

Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper 
https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper/32


It’s an excellent place to start because it provides long lasting pain relief.
However, for advanced cases, you may want to consider a combination of that Suite Sleep topper and the PlushBeds Alternative Down Topper.
This topper produces a cloud like feel that a sufferer with Advanced Fibromyalgia will find welcoming.
Shown here:


PlushBeds Alternative Down Mattress Topper

For those with Advanced Fibromyalgia pain, it’s important to get both.
The soft latex provides a durable soft base for the alternative down.

​Hi Pete,
I’ve been through 3 mattresses since the first of the year.
I couldn’t imagine why I was having such a hard time getting one that’s comfortable to sleep on until I found your blog.
Those salespeople kept telling me that memory foam was the best, latest technology for a great night’s sleep. How can they lie like that?!

Your most informative blog has made me realize that it’s been the memory foam that has been causing all the trouble.
My needs are simple. I’m an average size guy with no specific physical damage to deal with, looking for a good night’s sleep at a reasonable price.
What do you recommend as a best value?
Thanks, Nigel

Hi Nigel,
To be fair, I don’t think that the salespeople you’ve encountered were purposefully lying to you. They were simply regurgitating the propaganda they’ve been taught.
Today’s salespeople are trained to understand what works and why.

If you’ve been to my website, you’ll already know that we sell nothing with any memory foam in it. It’s the worst upholstery material ever invented.

Best Value?
The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium, for average size people.
Medium Firm if you’re heavier or like a firmer feel.
The individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of your body and spine.
The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery provides many years of surface comfort…creating the feeling that you're floating.

This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial Period.

No Sinking In
No Sleeping Hot
No Off Gassing

​Hi Pete,
Our son is transitioning from a crib to his 1st big boy bed, in full size.
We bought him a crib that will do that, so we only need a mattress.
The question is, which mattress?
I’ve read some horror stories about chemical off gassing. I don’t want that.
Looking for proper support and comfort that won’t need to be replaced anytime soon.
Also, which waterproof mattress protector do you recommend?
Thanks, Opal 


Hi Opal,
There’s no need to spend a lot to get what you want.
The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress…in Medium…or Medium Firm if you expect him to grow to be a large boy.
The pocketed coils will maintain the natural alignment of his body and spine throughout all of his growth years.
The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery will provide long lasting comfort that Does Not Off Gas.


This mattress comes with a 90 Night Trial.

A waterproof mattress protector is essential to keeping you from having to replace this mattress before he’s grown and gone.
The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is what we recommend for EVERY mattress…the one we use at home.

​Hi Pete,
I have a couple of herniated discs in my back, and have been dealing with the pain from them for years. My wife suggested that a new mattress might help, so we went shopping. A salesman sold me on a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, saying that the individually pocketed coils would help keep my back straight.
At first, it worked well. My back pain wasn’t gone, but it was better.
It felt a bit warm to sleep in, and had a bit of an odor, but my back was better.
It came with a 60 day trial period, so I figured I’d know by then and everything would be fine going forward.
After the 60 days, I began to feel some discomfort, which I could work around with slightly changing position.
A month later, no change in position helped and my back started to hurt.
That Christmas gift to myself has become a total waste of money.
My back pain is back and even a little worse. The mattress sleeps hot, now that I’m sinking into it. Even my wife has started to complain that her hips are hurting.
At this point, I don’t know what to do. I can’t exchange it. 
I’d lived with that back pain for many years. But now, with my wife complaining,
I went online to figure out what went wrong, which is where I found you.
I read many of your blog posts and am assuming that my mattress has memory foam in it and that’s what’s causing the problems.
Can you off me some solutions?
We’re average size people. Maybe a little overweight.
Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
Your assessment is correct. It’s the memory foam causing your problems.
So many of today’s mattresses are upholstered with that same memory foam, including all of the name brands that are now focused on profit instead of quality, now that they have all been sold. 

The key to solving your problems is in avoiding anything made with memory foam.

You have a couple of solutions.
Your salesman was right about one thing. The individually pocketed coils are essential to reliving back pain, which is why you felt better at first.
Since your mattress have that support system and is still reasonably new, flip the mattress over. The memory foam is only on top.
You’ll find your one sided mattress to be considerably firmer on the flip side…and likely to feel to firm for comfort. Although, your back pain should go away almost immediately,but it won’t help your wife’s hip.
Use whatever you have handy to soften the surface, like a comforter.

If you find that this trick works for you within the first couple of nights, then buy a latex mattress topper for it, as a long term solution.
The best value is had from Latex for Less. Their 3” Soft Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Topper will provide many years of surface comfort.
No Sinking In.
No Sleeping Hot.

I recommend getting the organic cotton cover to go with it.

If you prefer to buy a new mattress, the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in medium would be a good choice…pocketed coils a pure latex upholstery.

​Hi Pete,
I needed a topper for my old mattress, that’s in good condition, but too firm.
For the sake of expense, I bought a cheap memory foam topper.
Holly Molly! What a Mistake!
It’s hot. It smells. And, it did nothing to relieve my fibromyalgia pain.
Obviously, I won’t be able to get away with “cheap”, but I still need to maximize my dollar for dollar value.
I found your blog while doing some research…research I should have done first.
Anyway, you’ve convinced me that you know what you’re talking about.
So, what do your recommend for a plus size gal?
Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane,
The very best material for long lasting comfort is pure, organic latex.
Since you’re price conscious, you have to be careful about buying cheap latex that’s made in China, where they add clay as a filler when processing latex.
Clay is a natural material, so it’s sold as all natural latex.
Due to the clay filler it doesn’t last very long…a matter of months instead of years.

Pure Latex is just that…PURE, with no fillers.
Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex mattress toppers.
2” of Soft Latex produces a nice feel. If you can afford it, I recommend the 3”.
I also recommend the organic cotton cover to go with it, which is optional.

Fibromyalgia is a progressive condition.
For more advanced fibromyalgia, adding an Alternative Down Topper is extremely helpful. These aren’t dense enough to be used alone, making a soft latex topper under it absolutely essential.
But, they do produce a Cloud-Like feel.
That extra comfort lasts longer with a soft latex base under it.
So, get the Latex for Less topper first.
Add the PlushBeds Alternative Down Topper if needed.
