Hi Pete,
We’re suffering from mattress buyers remorse, having just spent $8K on a new bed…
Good News: We recently purchased our first fancy feature-loaded adjustable base (and we are absolutely loving it)!
Bad News: We also purchased a $5K Aireloom half moon lux top Cal King mattress (and we are underwhelmed). $5
We have the option to return or exchange the mattress if we act quickly.
And after sleeping on it for a month, it’s time to act.
The adjustable base isn’t returnable but it’s fantastic so we don’t want to.
The Aireloom mattress makes us both feel like we’re rolling towards the middle, and has since day one.
I’ve also experience some numbness on this Aireloom mattress.
We also find the deep tufts annoying.
We loved our previous Simmons Beautyrest NxG 300 mattress, that we had for 7 years. But now, moving from queen to Cal King size.
I’ve spent a lot of time on your blog and website.
I see the Simmons Beautyrest Black line and the Natura Greenspring Firm mentioned a lot for people like us, (both with latex toppers).
I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly and that they will both work with the adjustable base.
Hubby and I are 50 and weigh around 500 combined (plus we have a beloved 130 pound mastiff that joins us on the bed often).
We tend to sleep on our sides (but spend fair time on our stomachs & backs).
I like things a little softer than he does.
I’m hoping to find a Natura locally to try this weekend. I just want to make sure I’m on the right track.
I believe a Beautyrest Black model or Natura Greenspring with a topper would be your suggestions, do I have that correct?
Hoping both of these options will work great with our fancy adjustable bed, because the ‘Zero G’ is AMAZING!!
Thanks for any feedback you can provide!!

Hi Victoria,
Frankly, you can’t go wrong either way.
My wife and I had been the same 500 lbs as the two of you.
We home tested the Simmons Beautyrest Black/Latex Topper combination.
After the 4 years we had it, it remained in like new condition.
Our Son and his wife, (not small people) have had it for 4 years.
After 8 years, it’s still in like new condition.
For the past 4 years, we’ve been sleeping on a Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.
Because the quality of the components are higher in quality, all of their models are firmer than they sound.
So, we’ve added a latex topper to it….not to save the mattress, as you need to with the Beautyrest mattress, but for more surface comfort.
Again, it’s in like new condition, these 4 years later.
Both use a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system.
The Natura Greenspring has a higher coil count and the steel used is stronger.
Rolling together is not possible in this type of mattress.
Normally, I would leave it up to you, as to which one.
However, you’ve complicated the issue with an adjustable bed base.
When you’re in bed, watching TV or whatever you’re doing that requires the head to be raised, your body weight shifts from being evenly distributed to concentrated at the point in the mattress just under your butt.
The stronger Natura Greenspring coils will wear better.
The Pure Talalay Bliss Natural Talalay Latex Topper is the one I recommend.
2” Plush is all you need for the sake of added durability.
The 3” Plush is noticeably more comfortable.
We, recently, changed our latex topper from 2” to 3” and, WOW!, what a difference!
The 3” is no less than wonderful.
Here are links to both mattresses and topper.

These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
I also suggest using a waterproof mattress protector.
We have one made of organic cotton, which we use at home.
Perspiration, more than anything else, will seep into the upholstery material.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will maximize the comfort life of the bed.
