A Good Strong Mattress for a Very Heavy Couple.

Robert writes:

Hi Pete,
My wife and I are a very heavy couple. 
I'm 6' 2" and weigh a little more than 400 lbs. My wife is 5' 8" and weighs about 350 lbs.
(I'm guessing. She won't say).
We need a good strong mattress that will last long enough to get our money's worth.
We've already wasted money of a couple of mattresses we bought at a local store.
One problem is that my wife likes a softer mattress.
How do I get what we both want?
Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert, 
Most of today's mattresses won't hold up well under average body weight.
So, let me recommend to you, that which has worked well for others of your size.
This will solve your problem and satisfy both of your requirements.
There are two parts to this sleep system combination.
First, is the mattress...good and strong and extremely firm.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress in "Firm".
Shown here:


Add to that, a Pure Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:


Latex is the most resilient, most comfortable upholstery material on the planet.
The latex topper does a couple of thing.
1) It will provide the surface comfort your wife will enjoy.
2) Because of its resiliency, the latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, which extends the life of the mattress.
So, several years from now, when the latex topper needs to be replaced, only the topper will need replacing.
The mattress will still be in good condition, and not need replacing for many more years.
This sleep system combination is the best you can do, given your circumstances.

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
In both cases, delivery is free and there's no sales tax.


We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
Shown here, are 2 quality models from which to choose.
Both do the job. The second is a bit more luxurious.


Thanks, Pete
