Mattress questions from a 250 lb. man.

Hi Pete,
Came across your site, lots of great info.
I'm a 6 2" 250 lb side sleeper.   Just got a sterns and foster estate plush and it's like sleeping in a hole.  
I see you recommend Beauty Rest Black Luxury Firm, which is ironic as I almost pulled the trigger on that instead.  

Question-- I think pillowtop is out, as I know I'll put a depression in the top pretty fast.   What about their "hybrid" option?  

Would you recommend staying away from hybrid and going basic luxury firm with a latex topper?   
Looking at sites with reviews, the hybrid gets much higher ratings than the plain lux firm, but I suppose their not using a latex topper. 

Thoughts?  No serious back issues, but while I sleep on my side I need support or I get nagging pain in hips.
Appreciate any insight and a quote of what you would recommend in a King size.  
Thanks, 
Andrew
 
Hi Andrew,
Memory foam is low quality upholstery material that is purposefully designed to require frequent replacing.
At 250, that becomes even more frequent.
Advertising and store salespeople talk about memory foam as though it were the best thing since sliced bread.
They do so because it's good for them, with lots of money to be made...not because it's any good or good for you.
Your Stearns & Foster should provide you enough evidence of that.
Sealy & S&F are now owned by Tempurpedic. We stopped being Sealy/S&F dealers once they loaded all their mattresses with memory foam.
The hybrids you're talking about are all memory foam and even worse in the long run.
The Simmons Beautyrest Black models are also loaded with memory foam, and require a latex topper to keep their shape.

We have a much better option for you.
Natura of Canada's Greenspring line of mattresses uses a pocketed coil mattress that is upholstered with natural Talalay Latex.
Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material available for the last 100 years....as opposed to memory foam which has proven itself to be the absolute worst upholstery material in its 20 year history.
The coils in the Natura Greenspring are made of double tempered steel. The steel in the Simmons Beautyrest is raw...not tempered at all.
Between the durability of the coils and the superior quality of the upholstery, the Natura Greenspring is your best choice. I would suggest the Plush Eurotop model for a side sleeper.
