Hi Pete,
I need 2 mattresses. One for my wife and I. One for our young son. The problem, up till now, has been with mattresses that have been good at first, but not good after a few months. We aren’t heavy people, so I don’t understand the problem. Thanks to our past mistakes, I don’t have a lot of money to spend. So, I need the best I can get without breaking the bank. Most of all, they need to last. What are your “best value” mattresses. Thanks, Bill Hi Bill, The problem you’ve had is with mattresses that are upholstered with memory foam, which is specifically designed to need frequent replacing. You’ve heard of “planned obsolescence”? Well, the mattress industry has taken that to new heights when they invented memory foam. It’s thee thing to avoid. A mattress with individually pocketed coils for proper for maintaining your body’s natural alignment and pure organic latex upholstery for unequaled surface comfort will last…remaining like new for many years…providing you with value for your money. The best overall value for your mattress comes from PlushBeds. Their Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium is the best-buy for adults. This mattress is currently on sale and comes with a 100 Night Trial.

It’s similar to the PlushBeds, but a bit less substantial, making it the perfect choice for the weight of a child, or for use in a guest bedroom. It, too, is on sale and comes with a 90 Night Trial.

Hi Pete,
I’ve been reading your blog posts and you’ve convinced me to go with mattresses that have latex instead of memory foam. I’ve done some researching online and have found a variety of mattresses in different price ranges. Something tells me that there’s more to know about all of this. Can you tell me why and what to look for? Thanks, Jerry Hi Jerry, The difference is between “Pure” and “All Natural”. The cheaper latex comes from China, where they add clay to the mix during processing. With clay being a natural material, those mattresses are sold as using “All Natural Latex”. Not only does the clay filler lower the cost, it also shortens the life of the material. In having to replace it more frequently, it’s actually more expensive to use than “Pure Organic Latex” which has no filler. Pure Latex is All Natural, but All Natural isn’t, necessarily, pure. Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is the superior product and provides the consumer with the best possible value. We specialize in mattresses that are upholstered with Pure Latex. The least expensive is offered by Eco-Terra. Their Hybrid Latex Mattress is on sale and comes with a 90 night trial and free shipping.

Well, the Stearns and Foster King size mattress that we ordered from you, many years back is DONE! We ordered a full and queen size from you after we moved in 2023. But my wife and I need a very good FIRM mattress – in a King. What would you recommend? I see that your product lines seem to have been updated. I appreciate your help as always. Tom Hi Tom, I see that you emphasized firm in capital letters. You won’t get what you want from S/F today, now that Tempur-Pedic owns them and using memory foam, which doesn’t wear well. The absolute firmest/best mattress is the Natura Greenspring in firm. It’s really quite firm, and extremely long lasting. My wife and I have the ultra plush model from that line. It’s still in great condition after more than 10 years. The firm model is even more durable. Here’s a link to that mattress: Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-greenspring-liberta-firm/81?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true If you need a foundation for either of these mattresses, we have a couple that I recommend.

I’m shopping for a Stearns and Foster Mattress. I had one many years ago. It was a great bed. I want one like it again. I read your blog post where you recommended a S&F Blisswood in Plush. That sounds good. Do you still recommend that one? Do you remove my o,d mattress? Karen Hi Karen, That would have been a very old blog post. We’ve been blogging about mattresses for 22 years. S&F had been considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades. We had been a Sealy / S&F dealer until Tempur-Pedic bought them in 2013. Since then, they’re all upholstered with memory foam. Due to that, their quality has dropped significantly. If you’re looking for something similar to the Blisswood Plush, I recommend the Williams Kingston Plush Mattress, which will provide the same support, comfort and durability. This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes setup in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress and all packaging materials.

I’m a really big man, weighing more than 300 lbs. I’ve had to replace my bed frame more than a couple of times. Is there a bed frame that’s strong enough to last under someone my weight? Thanks, John Hi John, The Rize Premium Bed Frame is designed to support as much as 2500 lbs., and comes with a Lifetime Warranty. It’s the last bed frame you’ll ever need to buy.

My wife and I just got our new mattress delivered. It’s too high for my wife. We like the mattress but need a solution other than exchanging the mattress. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks, Lou Hi Lou, There’s an easy and reasonably inexpensive solution for this. Most bed frames measure 7.5” high. A low profile bed frame measures only 4.5”. This will lower the height of your bed by 3”. If that’s enough, here’s a link to a low profile bed frame.
