Simmons World Class or Black Mattress

Hi Pete,
Found this email and wanted to ask you a few more questions if you don't mind.  I went back to your site and didn't find the Beautyrest Worldclass Raleigh.  
Has it been discontinued?  Is there a different equivalent mattress?   I see you recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Black Ansleigh plush/firm mattress a lot.  What is the difference between that and the Ansleigh "luxury Firm"?  Last question I promise, do you recommend that I flip my mattress over (Simmons beautyrest exceptional pillow top) and add a topper for now if I want to save and get a higher quality mattress down the line but need immediate resolution to our back pain?  Thank you so much and look forward to your response. 


Hi Alex,
Flipping over an innerspring and using a topper doesn't work well...usually allowing you to put off the mattress purchase for a few years. Since a latex topper is key for comfort and longevity, that purchase is not wasted. You will be able to use that same topper on whatever mattress you end up buying next. My wife and I have a 2" soft Talalay Latex topper on our mattress. That topper is now 5 years old and still like new. 
If doing this does not end up being the solution for your back pain, you've lost nothing but a little time.
The Raleigh is a discontinued model. The World Class model that we are currently recommending is the Annapolis Place in luxury firm, for use with a latex topper.
Here is a link to that mattress.

The Ansleigh plush/firm is one of the best mattresses on the market...the mattress my wife and I sleep on. However, a few months after we got that mattress, Simmons introduced the same mattress in the luxury firm. They are identical mattresses except that the gauge of wire for the single coils is heavier. Half of the coils, (every other row), has a single wire. A thicker, heavier coil always translates into greater longevity. When you get over 200 lbs, like my wife and I are, the Black models become your best value, due to the triple strand wire used in the other half of the coils.
Here are the links to those two Ansleigh models.

With each costing the same, the luxury firm becomes a no-brainer.
