Hi Pete,
I have read some questions on the blog and have a question.
I am a 55 year old 300 lb. man with hip issues.
My bed is old and worn out and my hips pain makes it hard to sleep through the night.
Can you recommend a mattress, topper combo that is not too hot or soft like memory foam?
I’d like something that can support my weight but also let my hips sleep through the night
And, I’m on a budget. I’d like to do this without having to take out a second mortgage.
Thank You, John
Hi John,
The best you can do for the least amount of money, comes in two parts.
The mattress I’m recommending is an old fashioned two sided model, which you would order in Firm…shown here:
Magniflex Adjustable Bed Base. 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.

The latex topper to go on it, from Suite Sleep, will provide a degree of surface comfort.
Latex is the most resilient upholstery material available.
Not only will it provide comfort that won’t easily flatten over time, it will also absorb much of your body weight, which in turn, will prevent the mattress from wearing out prematurely.
Here is a link to those latex toppers:

These toppers are made with 2″ or 3″ of Pure Dunlop Latex. They feature a certified organic cotton double knit zippered cover that adds to the pressure reliving properties of latex. These latex toppers are available in your choice of comfort: Soft, Medium Soft, Medium Firm or Firm

2” is good. 3” is better…but more expensive.
Firmer is better than softer for durability. Softer is better than firmer for comfort.
Depending on your idea of comfort, I recommend the medium soft for your hip.
Both products ship via ups.
Shipping 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
