Hi Pete,
I came across your website when I was searching for the current equivalent of my old mattress that I bought in 2007.
It was an older post from a few years ago and I’m not sure if you were talking about my exact mattress, but I saw you mentioned that Simmons don’t make mattresses without memory foam today, which is disappointing because I love the mattress I’m currently sleeping on but it is in need of replacement after being 17 years old!
I bought the mattress in Singapore, I have attached photos of the tag, I was hoping you could advise on if the current Simmons range would suit or an equivalent.
The tag says Milan Eurotop Plush Simmons Beautyrest.
Thank you so much!
Gemma
Good Morning Gemma,
Heads up: this post includes affiliate links. If you click and purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I have personally vetted.
You used the word, equivalent, a couple of times.
As long as you hold on to that, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
Simmons was sold in 2016 and a Simmons mattress worth buying hasn’t been made since. All of the name brands have been sold. The investment group that bought Simmons also bought Serta.
The biggest change has been in the upholstery layers…now, mostly memory foam…which is purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…not to mention sleeping hot and the toxic chemical off gassing.
The news isn’t all bad if you’re not stuck on buying another Simmons.
In the past, only Simmons used an individually pocketbook coil system, which is what set it apart from the other mattresses for comfort.
Today, most innerspring mattresses use that coil system.
The trick is in finding one with no memory foam in it.
My recommendations start with the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm…using an individually pocketed coil and Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex upholstery. Latex has been the best for comfort and longevity for the past 100+ years.
Your mattress has a Eurotop for a more luxurious feel.
For that, add a Latex for Less Soft…Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Topper.
2” is nice, 3” creates a greater depth of softness.
I recommend getting the cover of it, as well.
This sleep system combination will most closely mimic the mattress that you’re looking to replace.
If you have a boxspring, that too will need to be replaced.
The Magniflex KD Foundation is very well made. It comes in your choice of 2 heights and 3 colors. It assembles easily and with no tools needed.
Here are the links you’ll need to view and order each of those products.
