Hi Pete,
I spoke with you, a year or so ago, and am now ready to purchase a king size latex mattress topper. We have a newer mattress, firm and no pillow top. My husband is a side sleeper and has some neck issues, (also ordering the side sleeper pillow for him). I am a a back and side sleeper, with lumbar scoliosis and arthritis. Should we order the 2" or 3" Suite Sleep Talalay latex topper? And should we go with plush? Thanks, Barb Hi Barb, Both, the 2" and 3", will help. But there's no question that the 3" provides a greater degree of surface comfort. Given your arthritis, if for no other reason, I recommend the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure Talalay Latex Topper. It's their softest and the one we use at home.

Hi Pete,
I have an old Sealy Posturepedic queen size mattress, model Mira Loma II. It has a Cotton Damask Cover, 782 High Profile Tempered Steel Coils, Heavy Duty Border Rod Edge Guard and Torsion Bar Boxspring. It came with a 10/10 year warranty, and Yes, I still have the paperwork. I bought it in 2002….I rotate and flip it regularly. It is, STILL, in good condition but could be a bit more comfortable. What would you recommend? Thanks, Joe Hi Joe, You bought the last great mattress that Sealy made. You'd be appalled to learn that there isn't a Sealy mattress, today, that's worth buying. In 2003, just a year after you bought your two sided Sealy Posturepedic, they became one sided. 10 years later, Sealy was sold to Tempurpedic. Every Sealy mattress made, today, is upholstered with memory foam...the worst upholstery material ever invented. There is no memory foam in the mattress you have, which is why it lasted for such a long time. My only suggestion is to add a latex topper to your mattress. Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years...most comfortable and longest lasting. A latex topper will absorb your body weight and greatly retard any further wear of your mattress. You'll want to hang on to that mattress for as long as you can. You don't want to buy a new mattress, if you can avoid it. All of the name brands have been sold and all are now upholstered with memory foam. None of them are of the quality they had once been. Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

I'm upgrading both of my children to Queen size beds and looking for a good mattress for them. They need to be good, long lasting mattresses to double as guest bedrooms. What can you suggest for a good mattress for kids, and guests alike? I'm pretty sure I'm leaning towards a good firm mattress with a nice topper, or one with a euro top included. Many Thanks, Brett Hi Brett, The thing to concern yourself with most, is in buying mattresses that have no chemical off gassing. Most common memory foams are made of toxic chemicals that off gas. Also, memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…even non-toxic plant based memory foam. The tailoring of the mattress is of secondary importance. Firm contouring support and a comfortable sleeping surface made with long lasting components should be your primary focus. The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress provides the firm contouring support, and all the longevity you’ll need for long term use. The Certi-Pur Certified upholstery make it a comfortable mattress, but not as soft as it sounds. I suggest waiting until the mattresses arrive before deciding if a topper is needed.

We are pleased to offer you a higher quality mattress from Eco-Terra. This mattress provides the same support with an upgrade in upholstery. The higher quality upholstery provides greater comfort and longevity.

Thank you, so much, for everything. The Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex mattress topper is great! https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ I noticed though that the one we got only comes in soft. I know that from the original order. Is that correct? It feels wonderful on the bed but I hope over time it gives the support I was looking for. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for the great customer service, Marie Hi Marie, The job of the latex topper is to provide surface comfort. Support should come from the mattress under it. Although, latex is resilient enough to do both jobs. I’m glad you like it. I knew you would. FedEx Shipping is fast...arriving in about a week.

I am 5’7", 140 pounds, and my husband is 6’, 170 pounds. We believe our mattress is 6-8 years old. Currently, we have a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Luxury Firm mattress. It has indentations on both sides of the mattress where we each sleep, and is higher in the middle. Both my husband and I suffer from muscle-induced back pain, as well as hip pain from side sleeping. Would you recommend replacing the mattress or purchasing the Suite Sleep Organic Latex topper? Thanks for your help, Courtney Hi Courtney, A Suite Sleep Latex Topper will give you the surface comfort to relieve your aches and pains. Rejuvenate the support from the mattress by flipping it before adding the topper. The Suite Sleep 3" Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper is the most comfortable.

I am 63 with diagnosed arthritis in my left hip. I have been waking up in terrible pain every morning for the last couple of months or so. I have a 7 year old temperpedic hybrid that feels too soft (like I’m sinking into it too much; I have similar issues now when sitting in chairs or sofas that you sink into). Would strongly prefer not to invest in a new mattress right now, especially since I’m not completely sure if that would solve the problem. Are there toppers you would recommend for me (I’m 6’ 245lbs with a large frame) that are soft but relatively firm and would likely help in my situation? Thanks, Howard Good Morning Howard, The problems you’re experiencing are due to the memory foam in your mattress, which is allowing you to sink, being the nature of the beast, as it were. The arthritis in your hip requires softness that cushions without sinking. The solution is a soft latex topper, but not added to the top of your mattress. Before applying the topper, flip your mattress over. The memory foam on top of your mattress is supported by high density polyurethane foam, which is firmer and doesn’t allow you to sink. The highest quality, softest latex topper is the Suite Sleep Vita Talalay. We use this one at home to relieve my wife’s hip pain.

My wife and I recently spent 16 days on vacation in a rental that had a mattress we both fell in love with. It wasn’t my first time on this bed. The owner told me she purchased it years ago. It's a discontinued Simmons Beautyrest Silver Hybrid King size bed. Do you have any thoughts on a potential match for this out of production bed? We went to a local store last weekend. But the Black and Harmony Lux Beautyrests didn’t feel good to us. I’m glad I found your site and will happily buy a bed from you. But we need it to feel just like the one we fell in love with from a comfort standpoint. Thanks, Tom Hi Tom, You’re setting yourself up for disappointment when you’re expecting to buy a mattress with the exact same feel as the one, you’re asking about. Even if that very same mattress were to be available, a new mattress will feel noticeably different from that older mattress with the identical specifications. Another factor is when that mattress was made. Simmons was sold to investors. That sale took place in 2016. And as of 2017, everything they make became much lower in quality. Prior to the sale, Simmons used high density memory foam that was cured before being put in the mattress. The curing eliminated the off gassing of the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. After 2017, the memory foam used is cheaper, not cured and produces toxic off gassing. We had been selling Simmons up to that point, and stopped selling them after the sale. BTW, the same investment group that bought Simmons also bought Serta. I wouldn’t recommend a Simmons mattress to anyone today. The individually pocketed coil unit is what makes a Beautyrest so comfortable. Those coils move independently from one another, contouring to the shape of the body, maintaining the natural alignment of the spine. The mattress I’m recommending uses that same type of coil system. The coil count is higher. The gauge of wire is heavier and the steel used to make the coils is double tempered. Simmons has never tempered the steel they use. The durability of these coils is far greater than those in any Beautyrest. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are the highest quality available. My wife and I have their Ultra Plush model at home. Here's a link to that line of mattresses: https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ If you’re looking for a softer, more luxurious feel, the best way to get that is by adding a soft latex mattress topper. Pure, all natural latex is extremely high density and quality. It provides surface comfort that is both, extraordinary and very long lasting. What’s more, high quality latex will absorb your body weight, which further extends the life of the mattress. The latex topper to get is the Suite Sleep Pure, Organic Latex Topper. It’s available as soft and medium soft…2” or 3”. The 2” provides a nice layer of comfort. The 3” provides a more luxurious feel. Shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ You’ll love the quality of sleep you’ll get from this sleep system combination. Just don’t expect it to feel exactly like the one you slept on at the rental unit. These mattresses come with White Glove Delivery The toppers arrive via FedEx.

I'm a returning, happy customer. In early 2016, I took delivery of a Cal King Simmons BR Black Ava with a 3" latex topper. It was so perfect that when I had to move, less than a year later, I couldn't take a Cal. King set with me. I gifted that to my daughter and her new husband who is 6' 3", and they still love that set so much! That's the good news. The bad news is I had an accident in late 2016 that resulted in mobility issues. I now have extreme swelling in both of my legs (lymph nodes missing behind my knees). I was gifted a Queen size Beautyrest, Recharge World Class, Keaton Plush Pillow Top Mattress. I bought a 3" latex topper for $319, but I haven't been comfortable in the bed since day one. I don't think the latex topper is sturdy enough to hold my weight up from the mattress. In October, I am moving to Bellevue, Washington to be close to my daughter and grandbabies. I need to buy a new mattress set and have it delivered directly to my new studio apartment in Bellevue. I need to be able to sleep as well as I did in the 2016 set I purchased from you. I need a heavy duty mattress. Thank you in advance for your recommendations, Thanks, Carolyn Hi Carolyn, I’m sorry to hear of your accident. It’s a pity you had to give up your mattress. Your old Black Beautyrest had a much stronger coil unit than was used in your World Class. My recommendation is to replace that mattress with a stronger one. Cheap latex is made in China, where they use fillers. The result is a poor quality product. Order a Suite Sleep 3" Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper: shown here: https://www.themattressexpert.com/suite_sleep_latex_toppers.html#/ I have a mattress that will do the job and, it’s very high quality.

My husband and I have had a Dux mattress for 15 years and need to replace the queen-sized topper. We are elderly, and each weigh in the early 200’s, and have had our topper since we bought the bed. What you would recommend that would be most like our Dux topper, which we’ve loved all these years. Do you think the 3” Talalay latex would work for us? Does it come with a cover? Thank you very much, Lynne Hi Lynne, We get a lot of Dux owners needing a new latex topper. Almost all of them end up with the Suite Sleep 3" Soft Pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper.
