Hi Pete,
Last year, you recommended a latex topper to extend the life of our old mattress.
We purchased a 3” soft topper and are now in the market to purchase a new mattress.
We want your opinion on our options.
I’ve read about the Wolf Company mattresses on your web site and they sound like a possibility.
My husband is a big man, 6’ tall around 300 lbs. I’m 5’4 158 lbs.
He has hip and back pain. I have arthritis, shoulder pain and sciatica that flares up from time to time.
We’d like a two sided flippable mattress, but unsure which one to choose based on his weight.
Right now I end up rolling into the middle or clinging to the edge which has no support.
I’m unsure of which to choose, firm or luxury firm.
Thank you for your time and look forward to your recommendations.
Jane
Hi Jane,
There aren’t many two sided, flippable mattresses on the market.
Serta makes one, but the memory foam upholstery makes it worthless.
We carry one, but you can do better with a one sided mattress to go under a 300 lb. man.
If sticking with a two sided mattress, it’ll have to be firm, to support his weight.
You can use your latex topper to soften the surface for comfort.
Here is a link to the Wolf Brolynn, a two sided mattress using a tempered steel, individually pocketed coil system, upholstered with polyurethane foam. You want to order that in firm.
The individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of the spine, relieving back pain and sciatica.
My recommendation is for the Natura of Canada Greenspring in Firm.
These individually pocketed coils are stronger, made of double tempered steel, and there’s more of them.
What’s more, this mattress contains firm latex foam, which adds to the durability.
Shown here:
Neither mattress has any memory foam in it.
The Wolf mattress arrives via UPS.
The Natura mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.
Either way, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
Thanks, Pete
