Happy with a Simmons Beautyrest Black Extra Firm Mattress from 2013.

Hi Pete,
In 2013, we bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black Extra Firm mattress set from you. a
We have been very happy with the mattress and the whole transaction.
Now we want to buy a long twin bed set.
Do you have this same mattress? If not, what do you recommend?
Thanks, Bryce

Hi Bryce,
Welcome back.
The mattress you have is, technically, still available.
That would be the Simmons Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm.
Shown here:


However, the upholstery material changed to memory foam in 2016.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
It’s specific purpose is to cause a mattress to need more frequent replacing, without having to replace them under the terms of the warranty. 
In order to have your purchase be as successful as your current mattress, you have 2 options.

1) You can add a 2” layer of firm latex to the top of the Beautyrest Black Calista Extra Firm mattress.
Latex is, conversely, the best upholstery material, and has been for the last 100 years.
It will insulate you from the memory, which will cause the mattress to remain like new for many years.
If you prefer a softer sleeping surface, without sacrificing the extra firm support of the mattress, you can order the latex topper in Plush.
Those, shown here:


2) You can buy a mattress with the same type of coil system as yours, with more and stronger coils.
What’s more is they contain no memory foam and use natural Talalay Latex instead.
(My wife and I have of these, at home)
It’s the Natura of Canada Greenspring, with 4 choices of firmness.
Since the components are stronger and more resilient, all 4 choices are firmer than they sound. 
The “Firm” model is downright hard. “Luxury Firm” would better replicate the feel of what you have.
That line of mattresses, shown here:

The mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Protect and maximize your mattress investment. Use a waterproof mattress protector.

Thanks, Pete
