Hi Pete, I ordered a Simmons Beautyrest Black Mattress from you, about a decade ago. We also bought the 2" latex topper and waterproof mattress protector, too. We followed your recommendation and it's been WONDERFUL! But it's a queen size and we'd like to get a king size. Because we LOVE this one, we want to replace that bed with something similar. I wasn't able to find that same mattress on your website. Can you send me links to what you're recommending today? Thank you, Diane Hi Diane, I'm so pleased to hear that you're still enjoying your mattress. My wife and I had that same sleep system combination at that time. We kept it for a few years and then gave it to our son and his wife. They, like you, are still enjoying theirs. Since then, Simmons was sold to an investment group which also bought Serta. Back then, Simmons was using a higher grade of memory foam that didn't off gas. Since being sold, a much cheaper and toxic memory foam is being used. That mattress with a latex topper, today, would not prevent the chemical off gassing. And since the memory foam is also less dense, it won't last as long. It had been our habit to home test mattresses for a few years and then pass them along to family. The last one we tested, the one after the one you have, has been such a great mattress, we decided to hang on to it. It is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of use weighing more than 200 lbs. And, despite having a very bad back, I sleep and wake without back pain. The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest...individually pocketed coils, that contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine. What's more, the upholstery is 3" of Soft Natural Talalay Latex....NO Memory Foam. Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years. The coil count is higher and the latex upholstery is far more resilient. As a result, it's not a too soft mattress...despite the "Ultra Plush" designation. In fact, only about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress go on to add a separate topper. This is the mattress I'm recommending for you.

Hi Pete, We have a Sleep Number Mattress with their standard foundation and metal frame. My husband has a lot of back pain. He had surgery in 2016 at L4/5. He thinks the bed is causing his pain and I don’t doubt it. I have some hip and shoulder pain, and periodic arm numbness but I generally can sleep on anything. I am 5’2” and weigh 160 and he is 6’ tall and weighs about 250. We really don’t know where to start with getting an expensive mattress that we won’t be replacing in 2-3 years, but I’ve read your website and I’m convinced that we need something innerspring with a latex topper if that would seem to fit our profile. It would be nice if it was able to be flipped, and it would also be nice if we could just keep the base system and frame that we have for our sleep number bed. Thanks for your advice! Kathy & Dan Hi Kathy and Dan, The foundation and frame that you have, has no give. So, it shouldn’t need to be replaced. Just check it to make sure that it’s still nice and solid. Our two sided mattresses will work for Kathy, but not recommended for someone Dan’s size. Let me recommend to you the mattress that my wife and I have. We are, each, over 200 lbs., and our mattress is now 9 years old and still in excellent condition. I have had a very bad back for 20 years. Yet, I sleep and wake without back pain, since having this mattress. Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress. https://www.themattressexpert.com/natura_mattresses.html#/ It has pocketed coil support and 3” of Talalay Latex upholstery. Due to the high quality and resiliency of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds. In fact, about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress have gone on to add a soft mattress topper. It is not too soft, by anyone’s standards. We added a soft topper to ours to further cushion my wife’s sensitive hip. I don’t recommend getting a topper right away. I suggest waiting until you’ve had this mattress for a week before deciding if further softening of the sleep surface is even necessary. It takes about a week for two things to happen…for a new mattress to loosen up, as a new mattress is a little stiff in the beginning…and for your bodies to get used to their new home. The second part of that can even be a little painful for the first couple of nights…as your bodies are forced back into their proper alignment. White Glove delivery is free. Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials. Your mattress will be freshly made to fill your order and can take a few weeks, or so, to arrive.

My husband and I are both side and back sleepers, and I am on the curvy side. Do you think we would need a latex topper to soften the feel of the firmness of the mattress? Also, do these mattresses still need to be flipped every now and then? Thank you, Jennifer Hi Jennifer, You’ll rotate that mattress, not flip it. Regular rotation will give you more even wear, as the years go by, resulting in greater longevity. https://www.themattressexpert.com/blog/mattress-care-maintenance#/ That particular mattress is comfortable for most people in any sleeping position. I recommend waiting about a week after you receive it, to determine if you need a topper to soften it further. It takes about a week or so for a new mattress to loosen up a bit. It’s a little stiff, at first. It also takes about the same time for your body to get used to its new home. (So to speak). An additional mattress topper may or may not be necessary. So, it makes more sense to wait.

He is 6" 225. I am 5'3 200. We both wake up with severe back pain and sides hurting. I know I need something to feel like I am being supported. My husband and I are both side sleepers. I have sleep apnea. I am thinking something firmer will support us more. Our 2-year-old mattress says it is made by Sealy. It is so uncomfortable, with no support. I wake up with hands and arms numb, and with neck pain. It feels very soft. I want a new mattress and I want what you suggest would be right. Do you deliver to Mississippi? Thanks, Kathy Hi Kathy, You're right about what you need. The support is supposed to be firm and the surface is supposed to be comfortable. The best, most effective, and longest-lasting way out of this, is with a Natura of Canada mattress. The coil unit is very strong...strong enough to hold the two of you and provide excellent support. It's already upholstered with latex, so it won't sag and latex resists body impressions. My wife and I sleep on their Ultra Plush model, which is nowhere near as soft as it sounds. We are, each, over 200 lbs and our mattress remains in like new condition after almost 9 years. What's more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having a very bad back.
