Hi Pete, Some years ago, I had purchased from you a Sealy SpringFree Beachside all latex mattress. I absoultely loved that bed. I ended up giving it to my son about a year ago, and now cannot find another mattress that even comes close in comfort. I bought a memory foam mattress, which I hate. It is the worst mattress I've ever slept on. It's like sleeping in quicksand and when you hit the bottom, it's like sleeping on a cement slab. I am a side sleeper and my hips are killing me. So, my question to you is what type of mattress would you recommend that is similar to the beachside? I tried to find you before I made this horrible memory foam purchase, but didn't see the blog. I would have purchased from you again, for sure. I'm in agony here. But unfortunately, I cannot afford to replace this junk I have now, as I'm still paying for it, but any ideas on how I can make it better or which bed I ought to start saving for in the near future? Thanks so much for your time. Barbara Hi Barbara, The difference between latex and memory foam is like night and day, as you have painfully discovered. There is an immediate solution to your problem without going to the expense of a new mattress. Flip your mattress over to the firm polyurethane foam side, so that the memory foam side is facing down and can no longer be a problem. Then add a layer of 3" Soft latex to that. This immediate solution is affordable and will provide the surface comfort you want and allow you several years to save for the real deal. Here's a link to the Latex for Less latex mattress toppers.

Hi Pete, Are Sealy, Simmons and Serta Mattresses a good value? I’m seeing a lot of mixed reviews about these brands. Do you recommend any of these? If not, what’s the best value mattress? Thanks, Mark Hi Mark, All of these, so called, name brands that could once be trusted to make a quality product, have been sold. An investment group bought Simmons & Serta in 2016. They are now one company. Tempur-Pedic bought Sealy and Stearns & Foster in 2013. They are now known as Tempur-Sealy. What used to be different companies that competed with each other to make the best mattress, have digressed into 2 companies looking to see who can make the most money. They’ve achieved their record profits by using memory foam made in China, which is purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing. The resiliency of memory foam is very poor and it’s made of 61 different petrochemical based chemicals… some of which are highly toxic and carcinogenic. That horrible smell is the off gassing of these dangerous chemicals. Even after memory foam wears to the point where you are no longer comfortable, it returns to its original shape when you get out of bed, making it highly unlikely for you to prevail in a warranty claim. It’s only a matter of time before this product is made illegal. Until then, our American consumers should reject any mattress made with it. The short answer to your question is, “No. They’re a horrible value”. There are a number of brands, with which you are less familiar, that provide an excellent value for your money, due to the high quality of their components. TME, “The Mattress Expert” specializes in these high quality brands. With any upholstered product being pressure sensitive, our recommendations are largely based on body weight. The best values are as follows: For people who’s weight ranges from light to a little heavier than average: PlushBeds… Double Certified Organic Mattresses and Toppers https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1233558&u=4342051&m=62252&urllink=&afftrack=  PlushBeds… Double Certified Organic Mattresses and Toppers For people who’s weight ranges from heavy to grossly overweight: Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/  Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses Delivery is always free.

Hi Pete, I slept on a Sealy Posturepedic Dynasty CSS Plush Mattress at the hotel that I stayed at in Deadwood South Dakota. I want one just like it. Can you help? I had the best night sleep and it was so comfortable. I've tried to find it with no success. Thanks, Sandy Hi Sandy, That was a very good mattress. I’m sorry to say, It’s no longer being made. You won’t be able to get a mattress just like it. Sealy isn’t even Sealy anymore. It’s Tempur-Sealy…owned by Tempurpedic.

I stayed at the Venetian Hotel in Vegas last July. I can’t stop thinking about the great sleep my husband and I had while we were there. I tried looking at the matress to see if I can buy it but there wasn’t any info on the tag. We have our matress for 22 years loved it for 20 of those years. It’s a Stearns & Foster. Can you please tell me what kind of matress the Venetian in Vegas uses? I would want the same one they use in their rooms. Thank you, Doreen Hi Doreen, This is much more complicated and isn’t as easily answered as you might think. The mattress in the room you occupied is unlikely to be the same mattress that the hotel is currently ordering. In a new hotel, all of the mattresses are the same. As time goes by, mattresses are replaced as needed. And, also over time, the specifications of the replacement mattresses change. If you were able to order the same exact mattress as what The Venetian is currently ordering, you’re more likely to be disappointed than not. Even if that hotel mattress is new, you’re comparing the quality of your sleep to that which you’re getting from a 22 year old mattress…which was much higher quality than anything used by any hotel today. You can forget all about getting 20 years. You’ll be lucky to get a 10th of that longevity from a hotel mattress upholstered with memory foam. (Your old S&F mattress has no memory foam in it, which is why it’s lasted so long) I believe that mattress is made by Sealy, but won’t be available at any retail store. Here’s a link to Sealy’s hospitality site. https://tempursealyhospitality.com/mattress-types/sealy-posturepedic/ The problem with all of these mattresses is the memory foam used. It doesn’t wear well, tends to sleep hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. My recommendation would be a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system for proper spinal alignment and pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex upholstery for long lasting comfort. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is an excellent choice. It comes with a 100 night trial period and they accept PayPal…and it’s ON SALE.

I want to find out the year that it was discontinued, and then see what mattress is the plush equivalent. The mattress is still in good shape, but it’s not as comfortable as I’d like it to be, now that I too am 26 years older. Many thanks, Nancy Hi Nancy, Lots of things have changed since then. At that time, models would routinely be changed every couple of years. The model name would have been exclusive to the store where you bought it. Every store would have the same mattress available with a different model name. The last year Sealy made a 2 sided, flippable mattress was 2002. Sealy was bought by Tempurpedic in 2013. Your mattress has no memory foam in it. Memory foam didn’t exist at that time. Every Sealy mattress made today is upholstered with memory foam. Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. (The industry is making a ton of money promoting that garbage at the expense of the consumer). The quality is much less than yours from 1997. You, definitely, don’t want to buy a Sealy, or any other name brand mattress. All have been sold to investors who are using memory foam to enhance profits. The good news is, you can make your mattress comfortable by adding a soft latex topper. It would be a shame to get rid of such a well-made mattress that still in good condition. Adding a high-quality, Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper provides you surface comfort that lasts for many years. Suite Sleep, a company producing organic latex toppers in Colorado, is the among the best available.
