Hi Pete,
After doing research on the internet, I found your website. It appears that you are very knowledgeable. I was hoping you could help me. I am looking to purchase a new mattress for my 6,4, 275 lb son who is only 15 years old. He plays football, wears a size 16 shoe, and I am certain he is not through growing. He gets hot really easy. The options for mattresses are overwhelming. Any advice you have will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lynn
Hi Lynn,
The mattress industry has changed quite a bit over the past 25 years.
And at an accelerated rate over the past 10 years…and not for the better.
There are very few mattresses out there that will do the job, long term.
My highest recommendation for quality, support and longevity is:
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress.

And while this mattress is the best you can buy for long term use, it’s really quite firm and not very comfortable.
Add to that, a Latex for Less Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Topper. Ideally, for his size, a 2” or 3” Medium.

Together, they will provide excellent support, comfort and durability…lasting for many years to come.

You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.
Doing so will void the warranty of any mattress.
If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray.
They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.
They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry and odor free will enhance longevity.
The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.
It sleeps cool and works well.
