Hi Pete,
A friend of mine, who is shopping for a mattress, told me about you.
I recommended to her that she look into Stearns and Foster, as we still love the one we bought, many years ago.
I, too, need a new mattress for a second home and was set on getting another S&F mattress.
She told me to check with you, first. She’s considering a hotel mattress that gets great reviews.
My husband and I are very heavy, 130 and 150 lbs.

What do you recommend, and why?
Thanks, Paulette
Hi Paulette,
Stearns and Foster was purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013. As of Jan.1st 2014, S&F went from being “The Cadillac of the Industry” to nothing more than expensive junk, literally, overnight.
The difference is the upholstery material…now, memory foam, which is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing….not to mention the toxic off gassing of the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made. Memory foam is both, a lousy product in terms of performance and a health hazard.
Your old S&F mattress has no memory foam in it.
We had been a Sealy/S&F retailer for many years. When they were sold to Tempurepedic, we dropped both lines.
We then went shopping for quality alternatives that we could offer to our customers.
You have a number of options, so let me start with the one that is most cost effective.
The Wolf Pocketed Coil/Latex Hybrids are the best buy at your body weights.

The Uno Smart adjustable base created by Magniflex is a product of German engineering that has been designed to provide our customers with the highest level of well-being with several benefits to ensure satisfied customers.

I have family members with each of these mattresses.
Both are comfortable, with the Tulah model being a bit more so.
The Adara model is, conversely, a bit more durable.
Next, would be the hotel mattresses. Both Sealy and Simmons are now using an individually pocketed coil.
However, the only information I have is for Sealy Hospitality Division.
Here is the contact information you’ll need to buy one:
Sharrie Bumgarner

Tempur-Sealy Corporate Offices
One Office Parkway at Sealy Drive
Trinity, NC 27370

And lastly, Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses…the high quality replacement for the old high quality S&F.

The Natura GreenSpring series combines the natural elements commonly found in Natura, such as wool and latex, but it has a specially designed pocketed coil system to provide your body with extra support.

Of the 4 models in this line, the Ultra Plush is the most comfortable, and the one my wife and I sleep on.
These mattresses come with white glove delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old one.
However, the wait time for these mattresses is about 2 months.
The Wolf mattresses take about 3 weeks, and ship via UPS.
For either, delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.
Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.
Thanks, Pete
