Hi Pete,
I'm a petite female with wide hips, shopping for new mattress. Current one is Sealy that is only a few yrs old. But lately, I have been having pain in both hips when I sleep on my side(s). This causes me to awake and flip to other side. Additionally, my back is sore every morning. Any ideas on what I should shop for? Thanks, Madge Hi Madge, There’s, “What to shop For”, and what to Avoid. What you have and all of the other “Name Brands” have been sold to other companies that have been using memory foam to upholster their mattresses. But, it’s not only them. Many mattress manufacturers are using memory foam. It’s the memory foam that you need to avoid. Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body’s heat. This softening are allowing your body to sink and it’s this sinking-in, that is causing your problems. Other common problems associated with memory foam are: Sleeping Hot Off Gassing of the toxic chemicals that are used to make the most commonly used memory foam, which results in respiratory issues. (What to shop for) A mattress with individually pocketed coils and latex upholstery. The coils provide pushback support while each moving independently from one another. This type of support maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine. Pure, organic and hypoallergenic latex provides unparalleled comfort that feels like you’re floating, and does so over many years. Our 2 most popular brands of mattresses are: The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress, available in 2 choices of comfort. These are the mattresses we recommend for average weight people. Medium for those on the lighter side of average to average. Medium Firm for those on the heavier side of average. Medium Firm for anyone on either side of average, who also have pre-existing back pain.

These are the mattresses we recommend for heavy people. These have the highest coil count & are firmer than they sound. My wife and I, each weighing more than 200 lbs., have been sleeping on the ultra plush model for more than 10 years, and it’s still in great condition.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.
