Hi Pete,
I have a new King sized Simmons/ Serta hospitality pillowtop mattress, and have it on the two twin foundations it came with on the floor, but have yet to get a slatted platform frame for it. With these beds which are more considered Hybrid compared to classic innerspring, would the bed feel likely firmer or softer if placed on a slatted frame with the foundation? Or would it feel exactly the same? I am considering a steel bed frame just to prevent any possible mold growth, but wonder if it would change how the mattress feels. Thank you for any information you may have, ~ Marie Hi Marie, The feel of the mattress is determined by the foundation. If you put the foundation on a steel bed frame or a slatted platform makes no difference. A slatted platform doesn’t require the use of a foundation. If you put the mattress on a slatted platform without the foundations, THAT will change the feel of the mattress. ******************************** Recommended related items that are commonly needed: Platform Beds https://www.themattressexpert.com/platform_beds.html#/ Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations.html#/ Bed Frames https://www.themattressexpert.com/bed_frames.html#/ Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements. ********************************* Visit our website for other related products TME Website: https://themattressexpert.com/ Thanks, Pete - TME Delivery is Always Free Online Ordering is Easy & Secure.

Hi Pete,
I need to soften a mattress that’s too firm. I’m looking for an organic latex topper, but the prices I’ve found are too expensive. Where can I find a high quality latex topper at a reasonable price? Thanks, Betsy Hi Betsy, “Latex for Less” has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex available anywhere on the planet… Pure, Organic Latex. A soft 2” topper makes quite a difference. 3” for a more luxurious feel. I recommend getting the organic cotton cover to go with it.

My wife and I are an extremely overweight couple. I’m 6’2” and weigh 350 lbs. My wife is a little shorter and weighs a little less, I’m assuming. She won’t say. When we replaced our old Sealy mattress, which I wish we still had, we’ve been through a couple of mattresses with disastrous results. We need a complete bed… mattress, boxspring and frame. What do you recommend that will be comfortable and last for many years? Am I asking too much? Thanks, Lou Hi Lou, You ARE asking too much from most of the mattresses being made today. Most, including all of the name brands, are using memory foam upholstery, which is purposefully designed to need frequent replacing under average body weight. Under people your sizes, the result is as you said, “Disastrous”. I do have recommendations for you that will hold you… providing firm support, a comfortable sleeping surface and will last you for many years. Here are a list of products that I’m recommending… from the top down:; 1. To protect your mattress from moisture (specifically from perspiration seeping into the upholstery layers, which causes them to break down) Keeping your mattress clean and dry enhances longevity. Preventing perspiration from getting into the upholstery layers will also keep your mattress smelling fresh. Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements. 2. There is nothing more comfortable or longer lasting than Soft, Pure, Organic Latex. This mattress topper is the softest, highest quality Talalay Latex Mattress Topper available anywhere on the planet. Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper/32 3. This is the strongest mattress available anywhere… the highest coil count and with the highest resistance upholstery. The pocketed coils provide firm support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine over many years, even at your weights. Natura Greenspring Firm Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-firm/81?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true 4. Here, you have a choice of foundations for your new mattress. The Magniflex KD Foundation is a dressier, upholstered foundation, available in a choice of color and heights. The Rize EZ Foundation is a simpler design and a bit less expensive. Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations.html#/ 5. Lastly, the bed frame. These from Rize are extremely Strong, available in standard and low profile. Rize Bed Frames https://www.themattressexpert.com/bed_frames.html#/ These components constitutes the items needed for your complete bed.

What mattress is the best buy? John Hi John, Which mattress that’s the best buy for any individual is based on that individual’s needs… considering that person’s size and physical condition. However, there is one mattress in particular that strikes me as a “best buy”, generally speaking.

I’ve been buying expensive name brand mattresses that don’t last. The initial comfort starts to diminish after only a few months. I don’t understand. The mattress that I thought needed replacing was better. I should have kept it. It was an old S&F. Where can I get a quality mattress that lasts longer, like in the old days? Thanks, Mattie Hi Mattie, The problem is that all of those old name brands were sold. After having been sold, the quality dropped dramatically. The reason is the memory foam they are all using now that they didn’t use prior to having been sold. If you want a mattress that lasts, like in the old days, you must avoid buying any mattress with memory foam in it. Here are a couple of brands at different price points to consider: Natura Greenspring Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ PlushBeds…Double Certified Organic Mattresses and Toppers https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1233558&u=4342051&m=62252&urllink=&afftrack= You’ll have much greater success with these.

We purchased an Eco-Terra mattress and we aren’t happy with it. It’s not as substantial as the Wolf mattress we purchased from you a couple of years ago. The edge support isn’t very good. And, it’s not as comfortable. I need a mattress that’s will relieve my back pain and have a good seating edge. Is Wolf still making mattresses? Thanks, Brian Hi Brian, Wolf was purchased by the Blue Bell Mattress Company. They discontinued everything that Wolf had been making and installed a line of mattresses that are all upholstered with memory foam. While mattresses are available with the Wolf brand, they aren’t the same as the Wolf Mattress you bought, which was upholstered with poly and latex foams. The Eco-Terra is a well made mattress for the price. It’s a minimal mattress with latex upholstery, but better used in a guest bedroom or a children’s bedroom. Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress https://ecoterrabeds.com/products/hybrid-latex-mattress?sscid=71k8_m5d12&utm_campaign=4342051&utm_source=share-a-sale For every day adult use, I can highly recommend the mattress that’s we use at home. Ours is almost 11 years old and still in great condition. I have had a very back for many years. Yet I have slept and awakened without back pain all these years. It has an excellent edge support… delivered fully formed (not shrink wrapped), and with white glove delivery. The Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush (not as soft as it sounds), but comfortable. Here’s the link to that mattress: Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-ultra-plush/92?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true This mattress does take a while to arrive (about 6 weeks) Thanks, Pete ******************************** Recommended related items that are commonly needed: Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations.html#/ Bed Frames https://www.themattressexpert.com/bed_frames.html#/ Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements. ********************************* Visit our website for other related products TME Website: https://themattressexpert.com/ Thanks, Pete - TME Delivery is Always Free Online Ordering is Easy & Secure.

We purchased the Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress from you, back in December of last year. It’s everything you said it would be. It’s the best mattress we’ve ever had. My husband’s back pain went away, just as you said it would. We were hesitant to go with the ultra plush model, worried that it would be too soft. But like you said, it’s comfortable without being too soft. One of you blog posts showed up on my facebook page, which reminded me that we never sent you feedback about our purchase. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise and the great sleeping experience of our lives. I recommend you to anyone looking for a mattress. Thanks again, Lidia Hi Lidia, Thank you for taking the time to write. My wife and I have been enjoying that same mattresses for almost 11 years. Ours Is still in great condition. So, you can look forward to many years of great sleep.

I’m looking for the highest quality all organic latex mattress that uses Talalay latex. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks, Brian Hi Brian, High quality Talalay latex is hard to find, these days. Much of the Talalay latex sold in the US, is made in China. The Chinese, typically, add clay to the mix. With clay being a natural material, it’s sold as all natural. But, it isn’t pure latex. The result… a short lifespan. Pure, Organic Talalay Latex lasts a very long time… many years. The Suite Sleep Portfolio All Latex Mattress has 3” of Pure, Organic Talalay Latex at the top… supported by Pure, Organic Dunlop Latex… with an Organic Cotton Cover. This is the highest quality mattress of its kind… exactly what you want.
