Hi Pete,
You helped me out 1 1/2 years ago and I wound up buying a mattress from you that I'm very pleased with! Thank you!!
I'm now in the market again and would like your advice once again.
My specs: I'm 5'6" and about 125 pounds, no back or muscle problems (thank goodness), and a side and stomach sleeper.
Last time, I bought a PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium Firm.
I was concerned that it would be too firm, but your advice was excellent.
I love this mattress. As a partial stomach sleeper, I find this mattress to be very, very comfortable.
Here is my current requirement. I need to buy a king-sized mattress for the guest room. I have several friends/relatives that will need to stay on a regular basis, so want to get something nice.
My survey has found that most of these folks sleep on and want a "firm" mattress. One friend, in particular, is 6'2" and 230 lbs. Another couple claims to sleep on a firm mattress with a top padding which they bought. Finally, I would like something that I could sleep on as well, since my husband sometimes snores.
I realize that you can't please everyone, but from reading your blog and getting educated the last time I bought a mattress, I'm thinking maybe the same mattress, but in the Medium instead of Medium Firm. What do you think?
Thanks again for all your wonderful advice, Kat
Hi Kat,
I so very pleased to hear that you’re enjoying your mattress.
Since your needs for the guest bedroom vary, I recommend staying with the Medium Firm Mattress and adding a 2” Pure Latex Topper.
2” of soft latex will provide the additional surface comfort that some of your guest require and can easily be stored under the bed for when your guests prefer a firmer feel.
Here are links to that PlushBeds Mattress and the Latex for Less

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.
