Hi Pete,
I love your site - it's very informative. I have a mattress that's about 6 years old that I spent a good amount of money on. I think it's too firm and have been waking up very stiff and with lower back pain. I can't really afford a new mattress at this time. Do you honestly think that a 2” latex topper would help me? Thanks for any advice, Gina Hi Gina, Absolutely! Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Soft Latex is extraordinarily comfortable…3” more so than 2”. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere.

Hi Pete,
Can I put this 2" latex topper on top of a Temperpedic mattress without ruining the mattress? Will it help with my back pain? Will it sleep cooler? Thanks, Florence Hi Florence, Yes. A latex topper will insulate you from the memory foam, which is the source of both of your problems. Memory foam allows you to sink, which is why your back hurts. Memory foam is temperature sensitive, absorbing your body’s heat and reflecting it back to you. I recommend applying the latex topper to both, the top of your mattress and the flip side. Many who do this have reported better results by flipping the mattress before adding the latex topper. The memory foam is only on the top. The flip side is high density polyurethane foam. The very best prices on the highest quality pure, organic latex toppers, is had from Latex for Less. Click on this link to view them and place your order.

I'm in my mid-70's, have had two knee replacements, a reverse shoulder replacement and am about to have surgery for a torn gluteus medius tendon in my hip. Plus I have low-back pain. I'm a side sleeper and have an adjustable extra-long twin bed. I ache all the time. My bed is too firm and lying on my side, pressure points, like the trochanter muscle, hurt. I just realized my current mattress is OLD - a Simmons we bought in 2006! My brother recently bought a Sealy Posturepedic Highpoint Plush mattress and he loves it. Says he no longer has aches and pains. I think this is a hybrid? Coils and some foam? I can't imagine buying a mattress without first trying it out to compare. Are the brands you recommend sold in stores too? Thank you, Beverly Hi Beverly, I don’t think that I can be of much help to you…other than suggesting that you buy a soft latex topper for the mattress you have. None of the mattresses that we carry are available for you to try in stores. Here’s the topper link: Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers100% Natural Latex Mattress Topper | Latex For Less Thanks, Pete - TME ********* Hi Pete, Which mattress would you recommend? Not sure a topper would work with an adjustable bed. Thanks, Beverly Hi Beverly, An individually pocketed coil with soft latex upholstery, is the type of mattress. This preserves the natural alignment of the body and spine. Latex provides comfort that doesn’t allow you to sink, nor does it sleep hot. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is extremely well made and reasonably priced. It comes in Medium, if you’re light to average in body weight, or Medium Firm if you’re heavier. The latex is the highest quality available, pure, organic and hypoallergenic. High quality latex is also the most durable of all upholstery materials. Since you can’t try before buying, this mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial. Here’s the link you’ll need to view that mattress, and to place your order, should you decide to buy it.

I am interested in a latex mattress topper. Which is the firmest? Thanks, Viola Hi Viola, The Latex for Less has a 2” & 3” Firm. Shown here: If you’re interested in a firm topper because your mattress is too soft, you should know that what a body needs to sleep well is firm support with a comfortable sleeping surface. It would be better for you to flip your one sided mattress to the firm side and then add a soft or medium latex topper. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers.

I recently purchased a mattress that I find to be too firm. I can’t return it and can’t sleep on it comfortably. What’s the best way to fix this? Thanks, Sarah Hi Sarah, That's an easy fix. Add a 2" Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Soft Latex Mattress Topper, and you're all set. Pure Latex is both, comfortable and resilient. It's a long term solution to the problem of a too firm mattress. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex. Here's the link. You can order on-line.

I have severe Scoliosis, which affects my entire spine including my neck. Most of my back pain occurs when I sit for too long or when I lie down. I also have Fibromyalgia. I am 5'3" tall and 120 lbs. I know that a firm mattress works best for my back, but I am concerned about hip pain from the pressure when I sleep on my sides. This has been a problem. What do you recommend? I would appreciate a recommendation for a firm mattress first and a second recommendation taking hip pain into consideration. I do not want anything with memory foam in it. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. And, thank you for taking the time to become so knowledgeable about the products you sell. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. Dana Hi Dana, There is no mattress that will address all of your problems. Your solution comes in 2 parts….a firm mattress and a soft topper. At your size, I recommend the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm and a Latex for Less 2” Soft Latex Topper. These are high quality products that will provide the support and comfort you need, and they’ll last for many years. Here are links to both.

We bought a memory foam mattress, a few months ago. At first, it felt good. Now, In just a few short months, I’m now sinking into it. I blame this sinking into it, on the back pain I’m having. I’ve had this mattress just long enough that I can’t exchange it. I’m considering a firm topper to fix this. Do you agree? Your recommendation? Thanks, Maria Hi Maria, You’re correct about what’s causing your problem, and close to having figured out on how to fix it. A body sleeps better with firm support and a softer sleeping surface. Adding a firm topper will produce just the opposite to what’s ideal. The memory foam on top of your mattress is supported by high density polyurethane foam, which is quite firm. The first thing to do is to flip your mattress over. The firm underside will relieve your back pain. However, you are likely to need a softer topper to relieve pressure point pain. The best toppers are made of pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex foam. Latex for Less has the lowest prices for these highest quality toppers. If you’re on the heavy side, go with the 2” Soft. If you’re light to average in size, you’ll find the 3” Soft to be better. Click on this link to view specifications and prices…and to place your order.

My wife and I are very heavy people, 350/300 lbs. Prior to finding your blog, we’ve been through several different mattresses in the last couple of years. Even the Big Fig mattress didn’t hold up under our weights. I’ve read on your blog about Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses. As I understand it, these are the mattresses that you recommend for heavy folks. One of these mattresses is what we’ll be buying next. The question is, which one? The ultra plush sounds like it would be too soft, and the firm model too firm. That leaves Luxury Firm or Plush. Making this more complicated is my wife’s sore hips. She’s a side sleeper. What is your recommendation? Thanks, Mike Hi Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog. You’ve done a great job of narrowing it down. My wife and I have had the ultra plush for more than 10 years. Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds. My wife also has a hip issue, so we added a soft latex topper to fix that. You’ll need to do the same. We are, each, over 200 lbs., so I would recommend that you start with the plush model…and add a 2” soft latex topper. We have family members at your sizes. The plush model/topper combination is what works for them, as it will for you. Here are links to that mattress and to the Latex for Less latex toppers.

My husband and I are both significantly overweight. I am a side sleeper and he is a stomach sleeper. What would be a good mattress for us? We despise sinking into our memory foam mattress! Thanks, Lisa Hi Lisa, The Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses is what we recommend for our heaviest customers, some weighing more than 500 lbs. There are 4 choices of comfort, but due to the high quality of the components, all are firmer than they sound. Even the Ultra Plush, which my wife and I have been sleeping on for more than 10 years, was too firm for my wife’s sensitive hip. We recommend adding a Softer Latex Topper for the extra comfort you’ll need as a side sleeper. Latex is and has been the best, most resilient, longest lasting upholstery material for the past century. The feel it provides is unique, creating the feeling that you’re floating. As a side benefit, the latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, adding years to the life of the mattress. Here are links to that line of mattresses and to the latex toppers. Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers 100% Natural Latex Mattress Topper | Latex For Less AND… You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation. The mattress won’t feel or wear as it should due to weak spots that develop in an old foundation. And, doing so will void the warranty of any mattress. If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray. They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed. They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.
