Hi Pete,
We had (until 2 days ago) a high end Simmons Beautyrest pillowtop mattress.
I don’t know what model, but it was shockingly expensive, for us, ($2000), nearly 20 years ago.
It was the most comfortable bed I had ever slept on, until about a couple of years ago when it started to sag.
We wanted to purchase another Simmons, since that was the “best bed ever.”
This time around, my husband, with some back pain, thought firmer would be better.
He said he sleeps better on firmer hotel mattresses.
We purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Chestnut Hill Extra Firm.
We’ve had it for 2 nights. I couldn’t sleep at all the first night. It felt like I had slept on the floor.
I was so sad I had let them haul off my old sagging mattress, although it probably did need to go.
We do have a one-time exchange option.
I would like to get the firm pillowtop, however it sounds like they just don’t hold up nearly as long as they used to.
After reading your blog, I am wondering if we should keep this firm mattress and purchase a latex topper instead.
Do you think all pillow tops are bad or only the plush pillowtops?
Will a latex topper feel as comfortable as a built in pillowtop?
Thanks, Kate
Hi Kate,
Your old mattress was two sided and had no memory foam.
Today’s models are only one sided, and have plenty of memory foam.
This, is why they don’t hold up.
The first thing to wear is the Pillowtop part…regardless of which model.
Your husband was right to get the firm model. They are better for supporting a damaged spine.
Add to that mattress a Pure Bliss 2″ or 3″ Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
It will soften the surface without sacrificing the underlying firm support.
The latex topper relieves pressure points and relaxes muscles…producing a deeper, better quality night’s sleep that will remain like new for many years.
It’s a whole lot more comfortable than memory foam and cooler to sleep on.
