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.

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.

Hi Pete,
I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for years. It’s gotten worse over time. I need to make my mattress as soft as possible without sinking so far into it that it makes my back hurt. Memory foam is out. I want the durability of latex. What’s the best, softest latex mattress topper? Any other recommendations? Thanks, Betty Hi Betty, You’re wise to avoid memory foam, as it will cause you to sink into it. Without a doubt, 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay is the softest of all the latex toppers. Shown here, from Suite Sleep. Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper: https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper/32 Latex provides the feeling that you’re floating and lasts for many years. For advanced fibromyalgia, add to that: The PlushBeds Synthetic Down Topper. While not as long lasting as latex, it’s much more durable than real down, and produces that nice fluffy feel that will further help to relieve your pain.

The mattress is a Sealy Posturepedic Encore 720 plush. Do you know any mattresses that are similar? I can’t seem to find this to buy on any website. Do you think they discontinued this mattress? If so, can you send me that information? Thanks, Liz Hi Liz, That’s an old mattress. There should be a label attached to one of the seems at the head of the mattress. That label should show you the date of manufacture. I believe that mattress was made prior to 2014. Tempur-Pedic purchased Sealy in 2013. In January of 2014, everything changed…and not for the better. You won’t find anything made today using the components in that mattress. That’s the bad news. The good news? You can stop wasting your time looking for something that no longer exists. My recommendation is: The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium. The individually pocketed coils promote proper spinal alignment. The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery provides extraordinary comfort that lasts for many years. This mattress comes with a 100 Night Trial.
