Hi Pete,
Many years ago, we bought a Talalay Latex mattress from you and have loved sleeping on that mattress to this day. We liked it so much, that soon after we purchased a Talalay Latex topper for our son’s mattress. Today, we’re looking for another Talalay Latex mattress for our summer house. We’d like to get that done before the warmer months arrive. What do you recommend? Thanks, Betty & Bob Hi Betty & Bob The Covid Pandemic had quite an effect on the latex industry. Dunlop Latex came out stronger than before. Talalay Latex, a mixed bag. Much of the Talalay Latex is now produced in China. The Chinese add clay to the latex they make. With clay being a natural material, it’s sold as all natural latex. You can tell that it’s Chinese made latex by the price. It’s a lot cheaper and It doesn’t wear well…lasting only months instead of years. Cheaper to buy, but more expensive to use. We carry a couple of high quality mattresses that are topped with Talalay Latex. The Natura of Canada Blossom Mattress, available in firm or plush. The Talalay Latex they use is blended, 30% Natural / 70% Synthetic. Shown here: Natura of Canada Blossom Latex Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/natura-level-2-blossom-latex-mattress/82?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true Our best is made by Suite Sleep, Made in America. All of their latex is Organic, using Pure Vita Talalay Latex. They also produce a Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper. Here are links to both, their Mattress and Topper: Suite Sleep Portfolio Talalay Latex Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/suite-sleep-suite-portfolio-mattress/50?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper/32 Thanks, Pete - TME Delivery is Always Free Online Ordering is Easy & Secure.

Hi Pete,
I am looking for a two sided flippable mattress, firm, not pillow top. I bought a one sided Sealy Posterpedic a couple of years ago. There is a firm section going all the way down the middle. You can't lay across the mattress, you can't even attempt to lay in the middle, it's HARD, none of this crap about the ticking moving to make it hard. It's been like that from day one. And I do turn it around every six months. I can't attempt to sleep on the other side, I'm single, so no one shares my bed. The lumps from where my body is when the mattress is turned around, are super uncomfortable so I can't trade sleeping on one side and then the other. I'm 67 and have never had this problem before. I've had the same king sized bed frame for some 30+ years, so it's not that, either. I think it's the way they make mattresses when they started this non-flippable thing. This is my first non-flippable mattress, too. I'm looking at the s&f Blisswood, as that is what I keep getting referred to when I read stuff on the internet. I'm 67 years old and 270 pounds. I have spine problems, so I need a firm mattress. Vera Hi Vera, It just so happens that we have such a mattress...a two sided, flippable, firm mattress that is specifically designed to hold the weight of a heavier person over a long term…firm, but not hard…no lumps. This mattress is made of the highest quality, most resistant upholstery material on the planet, Pure, Organic Latex.

I'm looking for a good quality mattress to replace my memory foam one. I'm a side sleeper, weight around 134 lb and don't have any back pain problems. Would an all latex mattress be a good choice? If so, I’m only interested in the highest quality you have. Regards, Margaret Hi Margaret, An all latex mattress has always been the best you can buy and is particularly right for your circumstances. If you’re looking for high quality, you’ll want to avoid latex that’s made in China, where they add clay as a filler. Since clay is a natural material, it’s sold as “all natural latex”. But it’s not pure latex and it doesn’t last very long. We carry 3 models from Suite Sleep, which are made of pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex with organic cotton covers…the highest quality available anywhere. A firm, two sided flippable mattress. A one side model with a medium feel. A one sided luxury mattress. Here’s a link to those mattresses: Suite Sleep…Pure, Organic All Latex Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_suite.html#/ AND: You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation. Doing so will void the warranty of any mattress. If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray. They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed. They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced. Shown here: Magniflex Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations_and_bases.html#/ 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. The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home. It sleeps cool and works well.

My husband and I are both very heavy people. We’re both young, 30’s, with no physical problems as yet. He is just under 6 foot tall and about 360 lbs. Where as I'm 5'2" and 240lbs. I was wondering what mattress would be best for us, that’s both, long lasting and comfortable. Thanks, Beth Ann Hi Beth Ann, The most durable and comfortable type of mattress is Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Foam Rubber….has been for the last 100+ years. In fact, I have family members that have been sleeping on an all latex mattress for quite a few years. They, too, are on the young side. And, both of them are heavier than the two of you. We have a couple of manufacturers who are making pure latex mattresses. Suite Sleep on the higher end, Latex for Less on the lower end. Frankly, you can’t go wrong with either. Suite Sleep offers Talalay Latex and Two Sided flippable models. Latex for Less is all Dunlop Latex. The latex used by both brands is Pure, Organic Latex. Here are links to both: Suite Sleep Pure Organic All Latex Mattresses https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_suite.html#/ The Latex for Less Pure Organic All Latex Mattress Organic Latex Mattress | Latex For Less ******** You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.

I’m replacing a very old Talalay Latex mattress. As I shop, I see plenty of Dunlop latex mattresses, but no Talalay. The luxurious feel of Talalay Latex is what I want. Do you know where I can find any? Thanks, Vivian Hi Vivian, The supply lines for latex, in general, were badly affected during the pandemic. Dunlop latex has made a strong comeback, due to the efforts of the manufacturers in Sri Lanka. Talalay Latex?…not so much. There is Talalay Latex coming out of China, but you’ll want to stay clear of that. The Chinese are adding clay to the mix. It’s so.d as all natural, but it’s not pure. The result is lower pricing and a much shorter life span. The Suite Sleep Portfolio Mattress is the only mattress I know of that’s topped with Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Talalay Latex. Shown here: Suite Sleep Suite Portfolio Mattress | C&C Mattress, LLC cc-mattress-llc.square.site This is the highest quality latex mattress I could find at the industry trade shows.

My husband and I are looking to buy a high quality Cal. King size mattress. We have gone to a local store and was informed that a Serta Pillow Top mattress for $3000 was our best bet. After reading reviews on that mattress, which weren’t good, and reading information from your blog it seems that you are more partial to a firm mattress with an added topper. What are your recommendations for the very best Cal-King non-pillowtop mattress and what kind of topper is best for a 'heavenly' feel? Thanks so much! This is a very difficult task. Sharon Hi Sharon, If you’re looking for “the best” in terms of support, comfort and longevity, I can highly recommend the sleep system that my wife and I have been sleeping on for the past 10+ years, which is still in like new condition with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs. What’s more, despite my bad back from herniated discs, I’ve slept and awakened without back pain all these years. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress, (which is no where near as soft as it sounds), and a Suite Sleep Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic 3” Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper. You’ll love going to bed and this mattress comes with White Glove Delivery. Here are links to each of those products.

My mattress is so firm, it makes my shoulders hurt. What is the best option for shoulder pain? latex? Which latex mattress is the softest? Thanks, Brian Hi Brian, Since you already have a mattress that’s providing the firm support your body needs for support, all you need now, is a mattress topper to provide the surface comfort you need for your shoulders. Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is the best for long lasting comfort. Pure Latex is the most resilient upholstery available. The softest of them is the Suite Sleep 3” Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex.
