Questions & Answers

Replacing a 15 Year Old Pillow-Top Mattress

10/22/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Pete,
I am in my late 50s and have been having mid-shoulder and right hip pain for a couple of years now. I sleep on my side (usually my right side). My husband sleeps on his back and has no problems. 
We’re replacing our expensive, pillow-top mattress that is now 15 years old. I can see where it sags in the middle on my side. 
We weigh 140/147 lbs, respectively. 

A friend warned me to stay away from any mattress with memory foam. She said that when she turns over at night, the foam doesn’t adjust quickly enough to match her body shape and she feels uncomfortable. 

We can afford a high quality bed but I don't know what to get. 
What would you suggest?
Thanks, Patricia
 
Hi Patricia,
Your friend is right about that, but there are several more reasons why a memory foam mattress is a bad choice. 
Because it doesn’t respond quickly to you changing positions, you tend to wake… disrupting your sleep.
Memory foam tends to wear quickly.
Memory foam is temperature sensitive. It absorbs your body’s heat and reflects that heat back to you, causing your to sleep hot.
Worst of all, it off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
It’s just a horrible product… the worst upholstery material ever invented.

Also, this business of being able to afford an expensive mattress is something I'd suggest keeping to yourself when you go shopping. 
If you try it once, you'll notice a change in the behavior of most salespeople...kinda like the giddy anticipation of an easy kill from a pack of hyenas. Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration...as far as their behavior is concerned...but not about how they're feeling inside.

The upholstery materials are the most expensive part of a mattress. The more padding there is on a mattress, the quicker it will wear out. It's better for you, and your long term comfort, to buy a mattress that provides long lasting support and adding a soft latex topper, which provides excellent comfort that lasts for many years. Then, all you’ll need to replace is the topper when the time comes.

You got 15 years from a pillowtop made 15 years ago. 
You'd be lucky to get 5 from one made today. 
You're better off avoiding those entirely. 

You've been out of the market for 15 years. It was about that time when the the industry moguls decided that didn’t want to wait 10 to 15 years for the consumer to be back in the mattress buying market. Since then, mattresses are made to last a much shorter period of time. The thing that they're selling now, is comfort...luxury. 
The things they're using to make those sales are: memory foam and pillowtops. And making the sale is all they're good for.

We carry a number of good choices for mattress....for their durability and support....without memory foam and without pillowtops. 

Two, in particular leap to mind, from PlushBeds… a leading manufacturer of high quality mattresses.
Their Best Buy… Their Luxury Bliss model, using pocketed coils for maintaining proper spinal alignment and pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery.
Their Top of the Line… Their Royal Bliss model, also using a pocketed coil unit for support, but several more exotic upholstery layers in addition to the latex.

Given your weights I recommend the choice of Medium for either.

Loved My Old Sealy Latex Mattress, Hate My Memory Foam Mattress

10/21/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Pete,
Some years ago, I had purchased from you a Sealy SpringFree Beachside all latex mattress. I absoultely loved that bed. 
I ended up giving it to my son about a year ago, and now cannot find another mattress that even comes close in comfort. 


I bought a memory foam mattress, which I hate. 
It is the worst mattress I've ever slept on. It's like sleeping in quicksand and when you hit the bottom, it's like sleeping on a cement slab.
I am a side sleeper and my hips are killing me. 


So, my question to you is what type of mattress would you recommend that is similar to the beachside? 
I tried to find you before I made this horrible memory foam purchase, but didn't see the blog. I would have purchased from you again, for sure. 


I'm in agony here. But unfortunately, I cannot afford to replace this junk I have now, as I'm still paying for it, but any ideas on how I  can make it better or which bed I ought to start saving for in the near future? 
Thanks so much for your time. 
Barbara
 
Hi Barbara,
The difference between latex and memory foam is like night and day, as you have painfully discovered.
 
There is an immediate solution to your problem without going to the expense of a new mattress.
Flip your mattress over to the firm polyurethane foam side, so that the memory foam side is facing down and can no longer be a problem. Then add a layer of 3" Soft latex to that. 
This immediate solution is affordable and will provide the surface comfort you want and allow you several years to save for the real deal. 
Here's a link to the Latex for Less latex mattress toppers.

Firm Stearns and Foster Mattress Goes Soft in a Month

10/20/2025

0 Comments

 
​Hi Peter,
I just purchased a Stearns and Foster firm mattress at the end of August. 
I had it replaced once, after only a month, because the side that I sleep on felt different from the rest of the mattress. 
It was soft & squishy, whereas the side I don't sleep on was still firm. Now my second one is doing the same thing. 
And this is not a minor difference; my 7 year old son thinks the difference is severe. 
The side that I sleep on feels like a soft pillow top, whereas the side I don't sleep on feels firm! 
If this is *supposed* to happen, how on earth can I tell which mattress to buy in the store, given that the mattress will feel totally different after one month??? Help!
Thanks, Dave
 
Hi Dave
Your complaint is not all that unusual, ever since S&F was purchased by Tempurpedic. It’s the memory foam upholstery causing your problem. It’s a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from the heat your body gives off.

As you’ve discovered, it’s incredibly difficult to pick a mattress trying it at a store. Most stores are a sea of memory foam upholstered mattresses. All of the name brands have taken the same turn as S&F. Sealy is also owned by Tempurpedic.
Simmons and Serta were sold in 2016 to an investment group.
They are now one company… all upholstered with memory foam.

Your options:
Buy a mattress without memory foam. 
(Pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex has always been the best)
We specialize in such mattresses. Check out our website:

TME - The Mattress Expert 
https://www.themattressexpert.com/#/

Get a latex topper for your mattress, which will block your body’s heat from reacting with the memory foam.

Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex mattress toppers. They are available 2” and 3” thick and come in Firm, Medium or Soft.
For your purposes, 2” is all you need.
I recommend getting the organic cotton cover to go with it.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress, Way Too Firm, Causing Pain

10/1/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Pete,
We just purchased a Simmons Beautyrest  luxury firm mattress. 
I  now have constant pain in my shoulders, back, hips, knees and ankles now. I think this mattress is way too hard for me. 
Can you suggest the mattress I should be looking at for a replacement, using my comfort guarantee.
Thanks, Bradley
 
Hi Bradley,
For the sake of support and longevity, you're better off with what you have, and adding a soft latex mattress topper for the surface comfort you need… instead of incurring the expense of using a comfort warranty. 
This way, you'll solve your immediate problem and avoid the problem that you'll have with the memory foam upholstery in a year's time.
Memory foam wears quickly.
The latex topper will prevent this premature wear.
Adding a 2” or 3” Soft, Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Topper is your best solution from a fiscal standpoint.


Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere. 
I recommend getting the organic cotton cover to go with it.

How Do I Fix a Sagging Tempurpedic Mattress?

9/25/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Pete,
I bought a Tempurpedic mattress a few months ago.
They told me that it would last for years.
They told me that it would relieve my back pain.

At first, everything was fine.
When it started sagging, I was assured that they were normal body impressions and that there wasn’t anything to worry about.

Now that the trial period is over, the sag is deeper and my back hurts more than ever. When I called to complain, they sent someone out to look at it.
They took measurements and said that it wasn’t bad enough to get a replacement.
I tried explaining that when we’re in the bed, the mattress sags a lot more.
The explained that they go by the depth of the sag with nobody on the mattress and that our sag wasn’t deep enough to qualify.

Now, I’m stuck with this expensive sagging mattress that’s no longer comfortable and makes my back hurt.

Is there a way to fix this so that it’s livable?
I can’t afford to buy another mattress. I’m still making payments on this one!
Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to provide.
Jackson 

Hello Jackson,
You’ll be relieved to know that there is a fix for this problem.
It’s reasonably inexpensive and lasts for years.

First, it’s important to understand why you have this problem.
It’s the memory foam on to of your mattress that causes a number of problems.
Contrary to the sales pitch that led you to buy that mattress, memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.
Unfortunately for you, you learned this the hard way.

The memory foam in your mattress is ONLY on top.
It’s supported by high density polyurethane foam, which doesn’t behave in the same way memory foam does.
So, the first thing to do is to flip your mattress over.
If you like the degree of firmness that the flip side provides, then you’ve fixed your problems without any additional cost.

For most people, the flip side is just too firm to sleep on comfortably.
While your back will immediately feel better, pressure point pain will arise from sleeping on a too firm mattress.
The fix is to add a soft latex topper.

Latex for Less has the lowest prices for the highest quality, pure organic and hypoallergenic latex, available anywhere… lasting for years.
I recommend the 3” soft and the organic cotton cover to go with it.
Here’s the link you’ll need for that:

Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers

Latex for Less Pure, Organic Mattress Toppers
Latex for Less Pure, Organic Mattress Toppers
Be careful of cheap latex that’s made in China.
It’s not pure. Fillers are added, which reduces the comfort life to only months instead of years… not a lesson you want to learn the hard way.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Pete - TME

Help! Sealy Pillowtop Mattress, too soft. Firm mattress, too firm

9/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Pete,
Please help us!
My husband had to have back surgery on his L4-5.
We recently comfort exchanged a Sealy pillowtop for a firm mattress. 
We have an old wooden waterbed frame supporting it.

My husband is now back to sleeping on the couch, and we're thinking this bed is just way to firm? 
It's almost like sleeping on the floor.
When I lay on the bed I can slip my arm underneath my lower back.
I feel as if I have to 'round out' my lower back with pillows under my lower butt, or sleep with my knees bent to prevent over arching of my back. When I sleep on my side I get sore hips.
I can only sleep a few hrs at a time, and every morning is terribly painful.

We have only about two weeks left to decide if we should once again exchange it, or should we spend more money and get a topper? Would a topper fix this? or is it that the contouring pocketed type of coil system is just not right for us? 
Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
The pocketed coils are best for a damaged spine. 
Your problem is that you went from one extreme to the other. 
And, your waterbed frame is adding to the firmness. 
Exchanging the mattress for a less firm mattress does make sense. 
However you should still invest in a soft, pure latex mattress topper for additional surface comfort for a deeper night’s sleep, reliving your pressure point pain and also for sake of longevity.

A problem that you have not yet encountered, but will, is that every Sealy mattress is upholstered with memory foam, now that they’re owned by Tempur-Pedic.
Sealy mattresses do not have the same quality that they once had, because of the chemical laden memory foam they use.

Memory foam is temperature sensitive, softening as it warms from the body heat you give off. It’s not very resistant and begins to sag within months of purchase. (How many months is directly related to body weight).

The latex topper provides a barrier between you and the memory foam, eliminating the problem of premature wear.
Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is and has been the highest quality, longest lasting upholstery material available anywhere for the 100+ years.

Be careful to NOT buy latex imported from China!
It isn’t pure. They use fillers that make it cheap and short lived.
It’ll usually cost half as much and last less than a year.
Whereas pure latex lasts for many years,  which costs you much less in the long term.

“Latex for Less” has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere on the planet.
2” of soft latex is quite comfortable. 3” is a bit more luxurious… all without sacrificing the underlying firm support of the mattress your husband needs for his back.

Here’s the link you’ll need to view their toppers and place your order.

Queen size Tempurpedic Mattress Too Firm, Back Pain

9/1/2025

0 Comments

 

Hi Pete! 
I just came across your blog as I've been debating over mattresses for several weeks! 
You seem to know your stuff, so here's my question:

I just purchased a Queen Tempurpedic and think I went a little too firm, since my last bed was much too soft. 
I've been in several different kinds of accidents and have pain in my neck, upper and lower back. I need a firm mattress but I like a soft plush feel on top. This Tempurpedic feels like a brick! 
The only way I'm sleeping now is because I bought a thick feather/down topper on it to give me some relief-but the feathers poke me even though it says it's 100% down.
So, I’m sending everything back and starting over.

What beds would you most recommend? 
Any others I may not have checked out yet? 
I sleep mostly on my side and some on my back. 
I have had trouble with my arms falling asleep, and certainly usually wake up with stiffness in my neck, shoulders and low back with mattresses in the past. 

My new thought - Maybe get the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss, (which would save me money), and adding a foam topper for the plush feel? Also, what kind of topper would work best for me? 
This time I have to be sure about my next choice! :)
Thank you VERY much for your advice!
Amy
 
Hi Amy,
Returning everything you bought will prevent a disaster in a few months. No all foam mattress will provide the support you need for a back that badly damaged… least of all, memory foam.
While firm now, it will lose that firmness and support within a matter of months, allowing the heavier parts of your body to sink, which will cause your back pain to return with a vengeance.

Your back requires the pushback support of an individually pocketed coil, innerspring mattress, which will maintain the natural alignment of your body and spine, which WILL relieve your back pain long term.

The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss in Medium Firm IS the right mattress.

Add to that, a “Latex for Less” 3” Soft Latex Topper for the comfort you need that WON’T allow your torso to sink, which will relieve the numbness in your extremities that you felt with your too soft mattress. Be sure to order the organic cotton cover to go with it.
A latex topper lasts longer than anything else… lasting many years.

As an aside, being poked with a Down topper is the nature of the beast. To avoid that, go with an alternative down, which won’t poke you and will keep its shape a lot better and longer than real down.

Mattress Floor Sample Closeout, Not Comfortable At Home.

8/31/2025

0 Comments

 
​Hi Pete,
I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Plush queen size mattress. 
It was a floor model, which felt really great when I tried it at the store.
But at home it feels different and is uncomfortable to sleep on. 
The problem seems to be that the edges where we sleep are softer than the center of the mattress. 
There are depressions where we sleep, but the adjacent area doesn't give as much, so when I change position, I'm on a firm area and a more soft area. 
This is uncomfortable and I can't sleep. 
Is this normal? It doesn’t seem like it should be!
Thanks, John


Hi John,
You didn’t buy a “Floor Sample”.
Stores offer a comfort guarantee that isn’t backed by the manufacturer. So when they exchange a mattress under their comfort guarantee, they can’t send it back to the manufacturer for credit. So rather than lose money, they put the returned mattress on their floor and sell it as a floor sample close out, which is totally illegal.
What you bought is a used mattress that someone else bought and used and returned.
As illegal as this is, it’s the common practice of most mattress stores.


If you’re stuck with it, the best thing to do is flip it over to its firm side and add a mattress topper for comfort.
Pure Latex is the best type of mattress topper and “Latex for Less” has the lowest price on these high quality latex toppers.

​However, if I were you, I’d call the store and threaten to sue them if they don’t come and pick up that mattress and give you a refund.
You don’t want to do business with any store that’s willing to cheat you like that.


Thanks, Pete - TME

Natura Greenspring Mattress for a 400+ Lb. Man

8/14/2025

0 Comments

 
​Hi Pete,
I'm tall and weigh 400+ lbs and need a new queen size bed.
I’ve been reading your blog posts and know I’ll need a latex topper for comfort and to help the mattress last under my weight. I’m looking for a frame, foundation, mattress and topper.
I’m sold on the Natura Greenspring, but don’t know which one.
Also, I’d like my bed to be high off the ground.
I know I’ve come to the right place!
Thanks Bob


Hi Bob,
You have, indeed, come to the right place.
The Natura Greenspring Mattress I’m recommending is their Luxury Firm model… a very strong mattress.
Shown Here:

https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-luxury-firm/79?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true


When you click on the link, you see that it’s available with a matching foundation, which is available 5” or 9” high.
The mattress is 12.5” high.


Add a Suite Sleep 2” Medium Organic Dunlop Latex topper to that, and you’re at 23.5”

And the standard height bed frame is 7.5” high, for a grand total of:
31” from the floor to the top of the mattress.
This frame is also very strong and comes with a lifetime warranty.

With this sleep system, you can expect many years of supportive and comfortable sleep.


If 31” is too high, you can opt for the low profile foundation and/or bed frame, which can lower the overall height substantially.


Thanks, Pete - TME

My Old Sealy Mattress Needs a Bit More Comfort

8/6/2025

0 Comments

 
​Hi Pete,
I have an old Sealy Posturepedic queen size mattress, model Mira Loma II.  
It has a Cotton Damask Cover, 782 High Profile Tempered Steel Coils, Heavy Duty Border Rod Edge Guard and Torsion Bar Boxspring.  
It came with a 10/10 year warranty, and Yes, I still have the paperwork.  
I bought it in 2002….I rotate and flip it regularly. It is, STILL, in good condition but could do with a bit more comfort. 
What would you recommend?
Thanks, Jo
 
Hi Joe,
You bought the last great mattress that Sealy made.
You'd be appalled to learn that there isn't a Sealy mattress, today, that's worth buying.
In 2003, just a year after you bought your two sided Sealy Posturepedic, they became one sided.
10 years later, Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic.
Every Sealy mattress made, today, is upholstered with memory foam...the worst upholstery material ever invented. 
There is no memory foam in the mattress you have, which is why it lasted for such a long time.
You'll want to hang on to that mattress for as long as you can.


My suggestion is to add a soft latex topper to your mattress.
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years...most comfortable and longest lasting.
A latex topper will absorb your body weight and greatly retard any further wear of your mattress.
2” of Soft Latex will provide you with that “Bit More Comfort” you’re looking for. 3”… even more so.


“Latex for Less” has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere… Pure, Organic & Hypoallergenic!
Be sure to get the organic cotton cover to go with it.
