Hi Pete
I purchased a super soft pillowtop mattress that lasted only 8 months.
I'm now in the market for a new mattress but need some advice. Every morning I wake up with lower back pain.
My wife has a separate problem, she complains her hips hurt.
We both sleep on our sides and I weigh 245 and my wife is 165.
Thanks, Chris
Hi Chris,
Your problems is a combination of poor quality upholstery and in ignoring the laws of physics. Placing 245 lbs. on a super soft surface will always result in premature wear. Add to that, the poor quality memory foam used, only serves to accelerate the process.
Your wife’s problem is NOT separate from yours.
Both of your bodies are now mis-aligned bodies, which is causing both of you to sleep and wake in pain.
I'd suggest a mattress that’s firm enough to support your size on a long term basis. And softening that mattress with a removable pillowtop that you can replace as needed without going to the expense of a new mattress so frequently.
And, you must avoid anything with memory foam, which is specifically designed to need frequent replacing.
An individually pocketed coil system will provide firm, but contouring support that last for many years.
That type of coil system that’s upholstered with hypoallergenic latex will give you many years of comfortable sleep.
My recommendation is for the same mattress that my wife and I sleep on at home. It’s 11+ years old and still in like new condition.
That’s with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.
What’s more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having a very bad back.
We added a soft latex topper to accommodate my wife’s sensitive hip. Both of you can expect the same longevity that we’ve enjoyed.
Here are links to that mattress and topper.
Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress
Latex for Less Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Toppers
This mattress has the highest coil count available, over 1000 in queen size.
It’s specifically engineered to support heavy body weight long term.
It comes with White Glove Delivery.
Financing is available at checkout.
If ordering the topper, I recommend getting the organic cotton cover.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Pete - TME
