Hi Pete,
Good morning! We're looking for a mattress set for extra large people.
I'm 6' 230 lbs. and my husband is 6'8" 400 lbs.
I know, WAY outside of the bell curve, right?
ANYWAY... I have herniated 2 discs in my back from being in labor with my first child, so I have a tendency towards back issues.
The last 3 mattresses we bought wore out quickly and caused my back to hurt more, even though the salesman said they wouldn’t do either of those things. What do you suggest that will help us, please?
Thanks, Paige
Hi Paige,
A body requires two things to sleep well…firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.
At your sizes, a very strong mattress is required.
The strongest mattress that will last for many years under these circumstances is The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.
The individually pocketed coils are designed to maintain your spine’s natural alignment, which is what will relieve your back pain.
This mattress comes with White Glove Delivery.

It’s the comfort layers of the mattress that tend to wear first.
A Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Topper in Soft is the most resilient upholstery material that provides the surface comfort you’ll need to sleep deeply.
A latex topper will also hold up well to a lot of weight.
I recommend the Latex for Less 2” Soft.
As the years go by, you’ll need to replace the topper from time to time, but not the mattress…resulting in tremendous savings.
Here’s a link to those toppers:
We also recommend using a waterproof mattress protector.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will also enhance longevity. The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is the best buy and the one we use at home.

And, since there is sizable difference in weight between you, you’ll need to rotate your mattress regularly from the beginning.
Once a month for the first year, once every 3 months thereafter.
