Hi Pete,
Can you recommend a mattress for me? I sleep on my side and have a herniated disc on L-5 and another slipped disc on T-12. I've read around the web that almost all the time the king size mattresses will sag and need to be turned 90 degrees each month. My husband sleeps on his side too. He wants a king size but I don't want to get another one if it will sag at all. Thanks, Mary Hi Mary, Sagging is more of an issue with the poor upholstery materials used today, than it is about the size of the mattress. What happens with a king size is that two people tend to sleep further apart than on a queen…simply because you can and having more space enhances the quality of sleep. The center of a king remains like new, while wear starts to show on either side of center. Adding to this is the foundation/boxspring, which is two halves. Where they meet in the center is stronger. Even platform beds are reenforced in the center. If your mattress has high quality upholstery, you’re looking at body impressions rather than sags. The 1/4 turn rotation on a regular basis, will minimize the impressions. The king size mattress my wife and I have is 10 years old and still in great shape because we rotate regularly and the upholstery is high quality. My recommendation comes in two parts. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm. The Latex for Less 2” or 3” Soft Latex Mattress Topper. Together, this chemical free sleep system combines to provide the support you need to maintain the natural alignment of your body and spine, a sleeping surface that is comfortable and long lasting.

Hi Pete,
You've got an amazing blog. I've learned so much from reading it. living in NYC, bed bugs are a huge concern. Have you ever heard of any mattress being better than the others in terms of avoiding bed bugs? Thanks, Jack Hello Jack, There’s no mattress made that will avoid getting bed bugs. However, there are products that you can add to the mattress you have that will do the job. A Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Encasement will prevent all sorts of things from getting in or out of your mattress, including bed bugs…shown here: Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Encasement 10" & 14" | C&C Mattress, LLC cc-mattress-llc.square.site Encasements are difficult to get on and off. So once on, you won’t want to take it off to launder it. Add to that, a Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector, which slips on and off easily, like a fitted sheet, for laundering. This way, the encasement remains in place.

Does my new Sealy Posturepedic mattress need a certain kind of mattress cover? Thank you, Shirley Hi Shirley, All mattresses should have a waterproof mattress protector to prevent perspiration from seeping into the upholstery layers. Moisture breaks down the resiliency, causing premature wear. Keeping your mattress clean and dry will enhance its longevity. Here are the ones we use at home. Sleep and Beyond Protectors and Encasements themattressexpert.com The organic cotton protector sleeps cool. The myProtector is quilted and sleeps a little warm, which we use during the colder months.
