Hi Pete,
My wife has a wool allergy.
Is the wool in Natura Greenspring mattress enough to cause an allergic reaction?
We don’t have any problems with latex, but it does look like your version is hypoallergenic, anyway.
Thanks, Marvin
Good Morning Marvin,
If she reacts to wool on her skin, then that won’t be a problem.
The wool in those mattresses is under an organic cotton fabric.
You’ll add a mattress protector and sheets to that, which creates an even greater barrier.
Thanks, Pete
Hello Pete,
Thanks for your answer on this.
It is direct contact on the skin that causes her allergy.
To confirm our situation, I’m 300+ lbs. and my wife is 150 lbs., mainly back, sometimes side sleepers.
I’m slightly concerned that the ultra-plush might me a bit soft.
However, our current mattress is 16″ thick and pretty soft on the surface layers.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks, Marvin
Hi Marvin,
The Natura of Canada Greenspring is the right place to be.
However, your size and having to comfort the curves of an average size female, changes my recommendation.
A mattress is a pressure sensitive product…like any upholstered item.
The more weight placed upon it, the sooner it will need to be replaced.
The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of the 4, and what your wife needs.
But, making a 300 lb. man comfortable long term, requires some finesse.
Optimally, for the sake of not having to replace the mattress so often, my recommendation is for you to buy two products.
1) The Natura of Canada Greenspring in Luxury Firm
2) The Pure Bliss 3″ Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper
Latex is the most resilient upholstery material on the planet…unlike anything else you’ve experienced.
Latex will absorb much of your weight, which in turn, causes the mattress to remain like new far longer.
You’ll need to replace the topper every 5 years, or so.
But doing it this way, will be much more cost effective for you in the years to come.
Also, extremely important, is rotating the mattress on a regular basis.
Since you are twice your wife’s size, your side will wear disproportionately.
Rotating the mattress will promote more even wear and greater longevity.
Rotate your new mattress monthly for the first year…and once every 3 months thereafter.
The Mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress/set.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
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
