Pain on a Select Comfort Air Mattress.

Alan writes: 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I bought a Select Comfort adjustable air mattress about six years ago.  
We bought model I8, with the expectation that the foam layers in the design would allow a good balance between support and cushioning.  
At one point we added a Select Comfort 2-3" memory foam topper, but we found it to be uncomfortable and sensed feeling trapped.  We removed and stored it.

I am 61, 5'8", and weigh about 240 lbs.  My wife is 57, 5'5", and is average weight.  
I use a setting of 45-50, and my wife uses 30-35.  
Over time, we each have noticed that we are waking up having more pain in our hips and also some on our ribs.  My wife also often awakens with neck soreness.  

We believe we need to make some kind of a change but don't know exactly what to change. Is our mattress system flawed, or do we need to add more padding of a different type?
Thanks, Alan

Hi Alan,
I hardly know where to begin.
You bought one of the worst quality mattresses on the market.
A bag of air is what you’re relying on for the support you’re not getting.
That worthless component is upholstered with another worthless product…memory foam. Memory foam is the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
Then, you added more memory foam, making your mattress more worthless than it was to begin with.
I hope I haven’t been ambiguous in any way.

A mattress with individually pocketed coils provide contouring support that pushes back up against your spine…maintaining your spine’s natural alignment.
And, that mattress needs to be upholstered with most anything except memory foam. 
Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses.

 

Due to the high quality of each of the components, high coil count and strength of the double tempered steel, all 4 models are firmer than their firmness designation make them sound.

The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable and the one my wife and I sleep on at home….still in like new condition after more than 6 years under two people weighing more than 200 lbs. each.

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.


Thanks, Pete 

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.
