Hi Pete,
My husband and I are both significantly overweight.
I am a side sleeper and he is a stomach sleeper.
What would be a good mattress for us?
We despise sinking into our memory foam mattress!
Thanks, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
The Natura of Canada Greenspring line of mattresses is what we recommend for our heaviest customers, some weighing more than 500 lbs.
There are 4 choices of comfort, but due to the high quality of the components, all are firmer than they sound.
Even the Ultra Plush, which my wife and I have been sleeping on for more than 10 years, was too firm for my wife’s sensitive hip.
We recommend adding a Softer Latex Topper for the extra comfort you’ll need as a side sleeper.
Latex is and has been the best, most resilient, longest lasting upholstery material for the past century.
The feel it provides is unique, creating the feeling that you’re floating.
As a side benefit, the latex topper will absorb much of your body weight, adding years to the life of the mattress.
Here are links to that line of mattresses and to the latex toppers.

AND…
You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.
The mattress won’t feel or wear as it should due to weak spots that develop in an old foundation.
And, 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 will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.
