Hi Pete,
We’re replacing a Simmons Beautyrest Adamsville Mattress, that we purchased from you about 14 yrs. ago. It has served us well. You recommended this mattress to us because it was inexpensive, but well made, as we didn’t have a lot of money to spend. Well, our financial situation hasn’t changed much. Since your advice was spot on, we’re back. What would you recommend today? Anything from Simmons? Thanks, Kelly Hi Kelly, The Adamsville was the least expensive Beautyrest at that time. It was a terrific value and I’m happy that yours lasted for so long. Simmons was sold 9 years ago and there’s nothing in the Beautyrest line that will last very long at any of their price ranges… thanks to the memory foam they’re using, which wasn’t used in your mattress. The best value for a mattress similar to yours is made by Eco-Terra. This mattress has the same coil system and same coil count. The upholstery is better… Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex. The upholstery in your mattress in polyurethane. You can expect a good number of years from this mattress, as well. It’s available in 2 choices of comfort… Medium and Medium Firm.

Hi Pete,
I'm interested in a foundation that won’t break under our weights. My husband and I are very heavy. I'm 300 lbs. and he's a bit heavier. We have an all latex mattress, which is good for us. But we've broken 3 box springs and as many bed frames. Can we get delivery to a remote area in ND? Thanks, Brandy Hi Brandy The Rize EZ Foundation is specifically designed to hold very heavy people. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, so this will be the last time you'll have to buy support for your mattress. Shown here: Rize EZ Foundation https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/rize-ez-foundation/120?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=KCHQK3ZHPLUMKAYIB3TW4E7C UPS delivery is free and can be sent anywhere within the continental US. ******************************** Recommended related items that are commonly needed: Headboards & Platform Beds https://www.themattressexpert.com/furniture.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.

We are moving from a queen size bed to a king. My wife likes to sleep right next to me. With our weights, it is like a SINK HOLE in the middle of our bed. We have purchased 3 mattresses in the last 10 years and have not been happy with any of them. I am hoping you can help. I am 5'6”and weigh 250 lbs. and my wife is 5'6” and weighs 200 lbs. I have a deteriorating disc and arthritis in neck and back. My wife, due to a terrible car accident, has had numerous surgeries for neck, back, head, and leg injuries. We like plush but need support. It’s is important that we stay cool at night. Thanks, Glenn Hi Glenn, Your dissatisfaction with your last 3 mattresses is no coincidence. In fact, it’s a common occurrence. The overall quality of mattresses, across the board, has reduced dramatically in the last 10-15 years. At average weight, the most you can expect is 5 years from most of them. You have multiple issues that cannot be addressed with a single mattress. A firm, supportive mattress and a soft latex topper is what's called for here. Latex has been the most comfortable and most resilient upholstery material available since the 1920s. And, of all the foams used, it is cool to sleep on. Due to the severe nature of your back problems and your body weights, I do not recommend an all foam mattress...not even an all latex mattress. While latex pushes back better than other foams, it doesn't push back as strongly as a firm innerspring. This pushback support will be necessary to relieve your pain, and prevent your back problems from worsening. Together, the firm innerspring and soft latex topper will give you everything you want and need. Together, you should get every bit of 10 years of comfortable sleep...perhaps more. The individually pocketed coils will provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of your spine. This is what will relieve your back pain. The latex topper will provide surface comfort like nothing else you've tried...relieving all the pressure points and relaxing the muscles so that you can sleep more deeply. The latex topper will also extend the life of the mattress, as it absorbs much of your body weight. The Mattress: Natura Greenspring in Luxury Firm. The Topper: Latex for Less 2” Soft… I recommend getting the organic cotton cover. Here are links for both. You can order on-line.

I have had my new simmons beautyrest king hospitality mattress just over a month on the two twin xl foundations it came with, and just noticed after lifting it to assemble a metal frame to put it on that there is a 1-1.5 inch tear on the bottom ( non sleep surface). There was no damage inside or loss of material or moisture/ dirt. We just patched it with aluminum ductwork tape ( not regular duct tape) , and my husband is convinced this should be 100% fine long term. I let the Hospitality beautyrest company know that it most likely arrived this way but I only viewed the sleep surface because it was delivered right on the foundations immediately. They said a tear may void the warranty and to take photos and request a new one, but it’s not guaranteed. Rather than go to that trouble we really want to just keep it, but do you think the mattress will hold up with the aluminum patch long term? Or, is it worth the trouble of trying to replace it? So far it feels great and doesn’t affect the way the mattress feels at all, but I have never had to patch a mattress, and it’s considered a high end, expensive one that is expected to last 10-15 years. Thank you for any advice you may have. Sincerely, Marie Hi Marie, You’ve already done what was needed. It won’t have any effect on the wear of the mattress. So, don’t blame it if you only get a few years of comfortable sleep. The memory foam on top will be the reason. I’m sorry to say. Hopefully, I’m wrong in your case. Thanks, Pete ******* Thank you for the quick response, Pete. Hopefully this memory foam layer on top of this bed lasts longer than a few years since they are Hotel quality beds. I purchased them with the understanding that they will last at least 5 years. I think I would be happy with half the original plan of 10 plus years since this one is a pillow top model. I read some social media comments about them before purchasing. They are apparently extremely comfortable for around 5 years or so for pillow top models, and 7 years for non pillow tops. I know they do not at all make them as durable as they used to. I slept on my twin Serta innerspring bed for over 30 years comfortably. Thank you Marie Hi Marie, Simmons and Serta were sold to an investment group in 2016. This is when quality and the longevity that goes with it, began to suffer. Memory foam is temperature sensitive, which means it gets softer as it warms. Heavier people tend to give off more body heat than slender people. The years you’ll get will depend, mostly, on body weight. Adding a non-memory foam topper, will mitigate all of this, by creating a barrier between you and the memory foam. Your mattress will remain more like new, longer, if you use a topper. Pure organic and hypoallergenic latex has always been the best… longest lasting for more than 100 years. Today, there is also cheap latex from china that doesn’t last very long… months instead of years… So you need to be careful. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex on the planet. All you need is 2”. You can even alter the feel of your mattress with a choice of comfort levels. Latex is extremely resistant, so ‘Soft’ is the most popular choice. You can even go for a more luxurious feel by choosing the 3”. I recommend getting the organic cotton cover to go with it. Here’s the link: Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers https://www.latexforless.com/products/latex-topper?variant=134346899481&sscid=71k8_rmsu0&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 You can also use an inexpensive polyurethane foam topper. I believe Walmart has one. For the sole purpose of creating a temperature barrier, it’s all you need. Rotating your mattress regularly will help with longevity. Using a waterproof mattress protector will also help with longevity, by keeping your mattress clean and dry. Since your mattress is new, now is the best time to take all of these measures… Before it’s too late. And ‘too late’ comes much too quickly. Here’s a link to the mattress protector we use at home: Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements. Toppers and mattress protectors are among the few products that pay for themselves in terms of additional longevity they provide for the mattresses. Using a topper and mattress protector will double the life of your mattress. I hope this helps and I hope your new mattress serves you well.

I have a 20 year old Simmons Beautyrest Pillowtop Mattress that needs replacing. I started shopping for a new Simmons Beautyrest, but found a lot of horrible reviews, saying that they developed deep impressions, that they smell bad and that they make people feel hot. I didn’t have any of those problems with mine, and don’t want them now. What happened? And where can I find one more like mine? Thanks, Alicia Hi Alicia, What Happened! Simmons was sold to an investment group that also bought Serta, in 2016. The focus shifted from quality to quantity… their greedy desire to sell more mattresses more frequently to the same customers. Memory foam is what they’re using to achieve their goals. Your mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why it lasted for so long. Back then, Simmons used polyurethane and latex foams. My recommendation is for the PlushBeds Signature Bliss Pillowtop Mattress Shown here: PlushBeds Signature Bliss Pillowtop Mattress https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2568212&u=4342051&m=62252&urllink=&afftrack= This mattress uses the same type of individually pocketed coil system that your mattress has. The upholstery is Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex foam, which resists body impressions, has no chemicals to off gas, (which is why memory foam smells bad), and sleeps cool. Latex has been the best, longest lasting upholstery material for the last 100 years. This mattress comes with: * Fast, Free Delivery * 100 Night Money Back Comfort Guarantee * 12 Months Interest Free Financing to qualified buyers * PayPal is Accepted You’ll love this mattress just as much as you did yours, and for many years.

We are looking for a new mattress. It will be for occasional use. We meet family at their vacation home several times per year. They have a room for us but we provide the furniture as a thank you. In our house we have a Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush with a 2" latex topper that we purchased from you several years ago. We love it and it's still in great shape, however the price now higher than what we paid for ours. So I was wondering what suggestions you might have. We would like something similar to our Greenspring. I like slightly firm but my wife wouldn't mind something a little softer. I don't care for memory foam as I am a side sleeper and softer beds make my back ache. We want something that is a good quality and that will last a long time. But like I said, it will only be used maybe 60 days per year at most. Let me know what you think. Thank you, John Hi John, Welcome back. I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying your mattress. My wife and I have the same one. It’s 11 years old, now, and still in great shape. You can expect many more years from yours. I have an excellent option for you. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm will provide you with very similar support, like what you’ve been using… also with a pocketed coil and latex upholstery… very much like your Greenspring. It’s not as substantial. But then it doesn’t need to be for the use it will be getting. Add to that, a Latex for Less 2” Soft Latex Topper, and everybody’s happy. (I recommend getting the optional organic cotton cover for it) Here are the links you’ll need to view specifications and pricing.

Just below, you’ll find links for those items, as well. (Don’t forget the mattress protector… very important.
