Back and Hip Pain on a 1 Year Old Sealy Posturepedic Mattress.

Hi Pete,

Last year, we replaced our 15 year old Sealy Posturepedic mattress with a new one. A year later, my husband has back pain and I have hip pain.

We didn’t experience any of that with our old mattress.

So, I went online to see if I could figure out why. That’s when I found your blog.

I now know why. I had no idea that so much has changed, and so drastically.

Sealy isn’t even Sealy anymore.

And, I’ve learned to stay away from memory foam, which I’ve discovered is the reason why we’re having pain we’ve never had before.

So, let me cut right to the chase.

What does The Mattress Expert sleep on, which I assume is good.

Thanks, Harriet

Hi Harriet,

I’m sorry you had to learn all this the hard way.

Well, you can’t go wrong mimicking that which my wife and I have been sleeping on for the last 10.5 years. Our sleep system is not only “good”, it’s the best available anywhere.

The Natura Greenspring Mattresses use an individually pocketed coil system, sporting the highest coil count available…very strong.

This coil system is designed to maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine, which eliminates back pain.

I have had a very bad back for more than 20 years. Despite this, I have slept and awakened without back pain for more than 10 of those years.

All of the Natura Greenspring Mattresses are firmer than they sound, which is why we use a soft latex topper with our mattress, which has helped with the longevity.

A soft latex topper provides a layer of luxury to the surface, which has eliminated my wife’s chronic hip pain.

And because latex is so resilient, it absorbs much to all of your body weight.

Since the mattress doesn’t work as hard as it would without it, it lasts longer.

Here are links to the mattress and latex topper that we sleep on at home:
