Good Morning Pete,
I cannot sleep on a mattress upholstered with memory foam. My hips are wide.
I'm looking for a mattress like they made before the inclusion of memory foam.
Because I've had such bad issues with memory foam, (9 mattresses in 3 years), I'm terrified of the word "foam".
Can you explain how and why foam is used in your bedding?
Why does it differ from memory foam and why is it better?
Also, because I'm afraid of memory foam, I'm uncomfortable with latex.
Can you explain the difference between the two?
I had a pillow top mattress for 20 years. it went bad and that's how I ended up with memory foam.
My budget is tight because I've lost almost 5k on bedding.
Can I use the mattress on the floor for a few months before I get a box spring?
Is your mattress recommendation okay to use on a platform bed?
Please let me know, sorry for all the questions.
Thank you for responding, Terri
Good Morning Terri,
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
Proven so over It’s a little more than 20 history.
Memory foam was specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and not under the terms of the warranty.
Memory foam is the only foam upholstery that’s temperature sensitive.
As it warms from the body heat you give off, it softens…allowing you to sink into it.
This sinking throws off the natural alignment of the spine, causing pain.
Memory foam sleeps hot. It absorbs your body’s heat and reflecting back to you.
Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals, some of which are highly toxic.
Memory foam off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
This creates a health hazard to every living being in your home, attacking the respiratory system.
Only memory foam is a problem.
The mattress you had for 20 years prior to the last 3 years, was upholstered with polyurethane foam and maybe had some latex in it.
Latex foam is a natural material, derived from the sap of the rubber tree.
Latex foam was introduced about 100 years ago and has been the best of the foams, although expensive.
(“Best” meaning most comfortable and longest lasting).
Of late, cheap latex from China has become available. It’s cheap for a reason.
It wears quickly because it isn’t pure latex…latex mixed with clay.
Polyurethane foam was invented in the late 1960s.
It has the feel of latex, not as durable not as expensive and not made of natural materials.
Unlike memory foam, polyurethane foam was cured before it was used, which eliminated the chemical off gassing.
Today, there is natural, plant based polyurethane foams that are 100% safe...NO VOCs.
That is the type of polyurethane used in the Wolf mattresses.
My recommendation for proper support and comfort comes in 2 parts.
The Wolf Jessica Mattress and the Suite Sleep 3” Soft Organic Latex Topper.
Here are links to those items.
UPS/FedEx Shipping is FREE and there’s NO Sales Tax.
You can use any mattress on the floor or on a platform bed.
The best places to buy a box spring and bed frame are:
Costco, Sam’s Club, Big Lots.Thanks, Pete
