Hi Pete,
My grandmother has severe Rheumatoid arthritis and is particularly sore in the mornings as her body is stiff. Could you recommend which mattress/es would benefit her the most so I can look into prices. Thank you so much! Eleanor
Hi Eleanor,
A mattress that uses an individually pocketed coil system for support will help to relieve pressure on the body, while also maintaining the natural alignment of her body and spine.
One that’s upholstered with soft, pure, organic latex will add to relieving surface pressure. Latex provides the feeling of floating.
Which mattress will depend on her size.
If she’s light to average in weight, the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium is an excellent choice.
If she’s a bit heavier, the same mattress in Medium Firm.
If she requires a white glove delivery service, including removal of her old mattress, the Williams Kingston Plush Mattress is best.
If she’s very heavy, the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is recommended.
(The Greenspring Mattress is not as soft as it sounds, due to the high quality of the components. It won’t be too soft.)
All of the above mattresses are pocketed coil/latex hybrids.
Here are links to all 3 mattresses:

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.
The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.
It sleeps cool and works well.
