Dear Pete,
Help! I am a stearns and foster mattress lover and I would like to purchase a new one after 20 plus years.... I am a cosmetic dentist who would like a recommendation of which stearns and foster mattress would be best for me...I am 55 years old, sleep on my stomach and side but I have lower back pain and now wake up with numbness in my shoulders and hands In addition, I still suffer with hot flashes and allergies. I am 5' about 95 lbs...and my boyfriend is 5'9" and about 245lbs so we need something that will work for us ....could you please be so kind as to let me know what you recommend....Thank you so much for your time! Debbie
Hi Debbie,
My biggest concern is your disappointment, given your level of expectation...which you have from your current experience.
All mattresses have suffered a dramatic decline in quality when comparing today's mattresses to those made 20 years ago. At 95 pounds, you wouldn't perceive much difference. But you're sure to wonder what happened to your 245 pound boyfriend's half of the bed.
Today's mattresses are one sided, not flippable...half the mattress you have...and less, with all the memory foam used.
The materials inside have changed, too...designed to fail much sooner...in an effort to turn everyone into a more frequent buyer.
There are two ways around this. The most common and most popular, is to get a good quality, more basic firm mattress, and add a 2" layer of soft latex to the top. The latex does too things. Besides providing an amazingly comfortable sleeping surface, to will also extend the life of whatever mattress you place under it. Latex is the most resilient material available. It will absorb most of his body weight, which leaves much less work for the mattress.
The other option is a two sided mattress...one of the ones we had made in response to all of this.
Our two sided mattresses are very high quality. They've been out for 4 years now and they have been problem free.
Here are links to the two sided model that will work best for you, and to the S&F mattress/latex topper combo that will workfor you. It too, has been problem free over the past 6 years that they have been in vogue.
