Hi Pete,
I weigh 500 lbs., and have had a difficult time finding a mattress that lasts longer than a year. I’ve been reading your blog posts and was wondering if you still recommend the Natura Greenspring mattresses for people my size. If so, which model? I also need a boxspring a frame. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Herman Hi Herman, We’ve had many customers your size, over the years. The sleep system that has worked well for all of them is: The Natura Greenspring Mattress in Firm, with a 2” Medium Latex Topper. The mattress is really quite firm…strong enough to hold your weight for many years…but too firm for comfort. The latex topper adds that surface comfort and helps extend the life of the mattress. Pure Latex is the most resilient upholstery material, and has been for the last 100+ years. (Note: Latex produced in China is not pure. They add clay as a filler. Since clay is a natural substance, their latex is sold as “all natural”. It’s cheaper to buy, but more expensive to use, as it needs frequent replacing.) Here are links to all the products you need. All are the strongest, highest quality products available anywhere. You’ll enjoy a supportive, comfortable sleeping experience for many years to come.

Hi Pete,
Many years ago, my parents had a 2 sided organic latex mattress that they bought when they got married and it lasted them forever. I remember it to be thee most comfortable mattress I have ever laid on. I know that was a very long time ago, but I figured that it doesn’t hurt to ask. Is such a mattress available today? Thanks, Rosemary Hi Rosemary, The wheels of industry have turned and turned until what you’re asking for is once again available, after not being available for decades. There’s only one manufacturer making that type of mattress. It is as it had been, pure organic and hypoallergenic latex…simply put, the highest quality upholstery product ever created. And while not cheap, it’s an excellent value because of how long it lasts. Suite Sleep, a US company based in Colorado, has that mattress. Here’s the link: Suite Sleep Two Sided Organic Latex Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/suite-sleep-two-sided-firm-organic-latex-mattress/54?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true In the old days, every housewife knew how to take care of their mattresses. Flipping and rotating on a regular basis, every couple of months, and protecting the mattress from moisture…all adding to the longevity of the mattress. So, you’ll also want one of these…which should be used on EVERY mattress. Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector https://www.themattressexpert.com/sleep_and_beyond_protectors_and_encasements. If you need a foundation to support your new mattress, the Rize EZ Foundation is extremely strong, and easy to assemble needing no tools.

Thanks as always.
I need a new queen mattress for our daughter’s house in Mississippi - for the guest room we’ll be sleeping in when we visit :-) Last time you had us order the Wolf Tulah luxury plush euro top mattresses, but I know model names and numbers change daily! What would you recommend? Thanks, Steve Hi Steve, Welcome back. The Wolf mattresses provided an excellent value…quality at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, Wolf sold their brand last year. The new owners do not have the same commitment to quality and value. We stopped carrying that brand as a consequence. For a guest bedroom, you can’t beat the Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress. It’s really all you’ll need for occasional use. Shown here: Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress https://ecoterrabeds.com/products/hybrid-latex-mattress?sscid=71k8_m5d12&utm_campaign=4342051&utm_source=share-a-sale However, since you’re going to be sleeping in it, you might consider the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress. They are similarly made, with the PlushBeds mattress being a bit more substantial…a bit more luxurious. Shown here: PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 Both are available in Medium or Medium Firm…with the Medium being a bit more comfortable. However, for heavier people the Medium Firm is the better choice. If your daughter needs a new foundation and bed frame, these from Rize are very strong: Rize EZ Foundation https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/rize-ez-foundation/120?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=KCHQK3ZHPLUMKAYIB3TW4E7C Rize Bed Frames https://www.themattressexpert.com/bed_frames.html#/ This foundation from Magniflex is dressier and available in low profile.

We are looking to purchase two mattress sets. One is for our 16 year old daughter and the other is for my husband and myself. My husband is leaning towards a foam mattress. My husband's back hurts from time to time and when we have used a foam topper in the past, he says his back feels better. We have been to several mattress stores, read reviews, and looked on consumer reports, yet we are still having difficulty choosing the right mattresses. Any suggestions? Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide. Chrissy Hi Chrissy, There's a lot of bad and misleading information out there. Addressing your confusion will be a bit long winded. Even the unusually trustworthy Consumer Reports, is way off base on this subject. If you can find the previous CR Mattress Issue, you'll read that they could not offer help, as the mattress industry has made everything so complicated that they couldn't figure it out. A few months later, they abandoned their honest answer and interviewed a group of people in Denver and left it at that…for a while. Since then, they’ve been testing mattresses without mimicking body heat. All of the name brands, along with many others, are upholstering their mattresses with memory foam, which is a temperature sensitive material that reacts to body heat. Hence, CR’s conclusions are inaccurate. When you shop at the stores, you get a sales pitch...highlighting the positive aspects of any given mattress and not bothering to mention any of the negatives associated with them. Customer’s reviews found on-line are usually solicited immediately after delivery. Those positive opinions often change within a short period of time, as memory foam wears quickly. There's usually no problem with a mattress when it's still new. Over the past 20 years, especially the past 10 years, when the industry realized that they can actually get away with the crap they're pulling...25 years if you count when it all started, buying a good mattress has gotten to be more and more difficult. There are two products that have lead to this phenomenon of being able to sell cheaper made, shorter lived mattresses at higher prices...and being able to sell you the same crap over and over again. Those items are memory foam and pillowtops. Memory Foam is, positively, the worst, most diabolical material ever invented for use in a mattress. A temperature sensitive material, it softenes when it's warmed by your body's heat....and returns to its original shape when you get off...but, not right away. You've all seen the commercials with the hand print that's left in it. I remember when I first saw that 25+ years ago. I couldn't believe that anyone would see that as a good idea. But, I was wrong. The power of mass media marketing told you, almost continually, that it was a good thing. Tell a lie often enough and it’s eventually perceived as the truth…as the saying goes. Today, most mattresses have memory foam and are shown on the sales floor with pillowtops...because these items are good for what the stores and factories want...they're good for "making the sale". It's the only thing that this industry, on a whole, cares about. The sooner you catch on to all of this, the sooner you'll stop: 1) wasting your money, and… 2) buying products that cause enduring physical problems. And, I have yet to mention the respiratory problems that so many people experience with the use of memory foam. Your husband’s back pain will, most certainly, worsen on an all foam mattress…especially memory foam. To relieve persistent back pain, you need the upward support of an individually pocketed coil system, which provides the firm, contouring pushback against the back, which maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine. No all foam mattress will do that, allowing the heavier parts of the body to sink too far…throwing off that alignment. While finding a good mattress is a more difficult process than it used to be, it can still be done. Here are a couple of good choices...mattresses without pillowtops and with no memory foam. The first for your daughter and the second for you and your husband. For children (and guest bedrooms): Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress…in Medium https://ecoterrabeds.com/products/hybrid-latex-mattress?sscid=71k8_m5d12&utm_campaign=4342051&utm_source=share-a-sale For adults: PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress…in Medium Firm https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 Both mattresses are upholstered with pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex foam….having NO memory foam. Latex has been well documented as the superior upholstery material for the past 100+ years. After you’ve slept on these mattresses for a week, then would be a good time to decide if you want the added luxurious feel that a soft topper provides. Here too, latex is far superior to memory foam. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere. Shown here: Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers https://www.latexforless.com/products/latex-topper?variant=134346899481&sscid=71k8_rmsu0&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 2” Soft is plenty comfy. 3” Soft is more luxurious. Adding a latex mattress topper is one of the few items that pays for itself. Besides adding surface comfort, the high resiliency of latex absorbs most to all of your body weight, (the percentage depends on your weight). This reduces the pressure on the mattress, causing it to remain like new longer and greatly extending the life of your mattress. And, unlike an attached pillow top, it can be replaced for a whole lot less than replacing a mattress when the pillow top part wears out, which happens much too quickly. Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials. Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.

I need a bed for my large teenage son…mattress, boxspring and bed frame. He’s rough on stuff, so it needs to be strong. Unfortunately, I don’t have unlimited funds for this.

My wife has an adjustable bed that she needs elevated to breathe. Her bed measures 28” in overall height. I need a good quality, comfortable mattress that I can put next to hers, but it too, must measure the same height. Something with a medium to firm feel, but not too firm. Can you help me with this? Thanks, Jake Hi Jake, I sure can. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm is a very high quality mattress, using individually pocketed coils for maintaining proper spinal alignment and pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery for long lasting surfaces comfort…comfortable, but neither too firm nor too soft. That mattress measures 12” in height.

I bought a mattress from you a few years ago, but didn’t replace the old boxspring at the time. It seemed perfectly fine. Apparently it wasn’t. It just now broke.

We are two adults in our 60’s and looking for a new king size mattress. We are fairly active. I have had some lower back pain and hip pain with our current Tempur-Pedic mattress (10 years old). My husband likes a medium firm and I like the same but maybe with a topper of some sort. Any ideas? Our son, one of your customers, referred us to your site! Thank-you, Elizabeth Hi Elizabeth Thank your son for me. My recommendation for you and your husband is the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm. The individually pocketed coils are designed to maintain the natural alignment of your body and spine, which will eliminate your back pain. The pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex foam upholstery is both, extremely comfortable and durable, providing the feeling that you’re floating. This mattress is extremely well made, currently on sale, and comes with a 100 night comfort guarantee. Use this link to view and place your order. PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 I suggest waiting to see how you like the feel of that mattress before designing on which topper to get…2” or 3”…soft or medium. Latex for Less has the lowest prices on the highest quality latex toppers available anywhere. I recommend opting for the organic cotton cover. Here’s the link for those: Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers https://www.latexforless.com/products/latex-topper?variant=134346899481&sscid=71k8_rmsu0&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 If you have a 10 year old foundation, as well, I recommend getting a new one.
