Hi Brian,
Mattresses are pressure sensitive products.
Which mattress I would recommend depends, in part, on the amount of pressure being exerted upon it.
What are the sizes of you and your wife…heights & weights…more or less?
What makes a Beautyrest so comfortable is the individually pocketed coil system, which maintains the natural alignment of the spine.
Maintaining the spine’s natural alignment, is what relieves the sciatica…which is caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back, due to worn discs in that area of the body.
This type of coil system is available from many other brands.
Simmons discontinued their national delivery, after the COVID shutdown.
So, if you’re going with a Simmons Beautyrest, you’ll have to buy it locally.
The World Class Series was renamed “Platinum”.
So, you’ll shop for a Simmons Beautyrest Platinum in Medium Firm, WITHOUT a pillowtop.
To that you’ll add a Suite Sleep Pure All Natural 2” Soft Dunlop Latex Topper.
Shown here:
Since the COVID shutdown, there has been many changes.
Pure All Natural Latex, like EverEden had been offering, is made nearer the Rubber Tree groves, in other parts of the world.
Some of those supply lines have been disrupted.
Then, the owner of Jeffco, the company producing the EverEden brand, retired.
His son took over and decided that memory foam was more lucrative.
This is why the above link is for Suite Sleep, and not EverEden.
Mattresses made for hotels, by Sealy and Simmons, have no memory foam in them.
The mattresses that these same companies make for retail stores, are upholstered with nothing but memory foam….which is why you need the latex topper.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and not under the terms of the warranty.
Hotels have long rejected the use of memory foam for this reason alone.
Memory foam has a variety of other negative side effects….like sleeping hot and off gassing the toxic chemicals from which it’s made…just to name 2.
All of the name brands have been sold to investors, who switched to memory foam to recoup their investment and enhance profits.
Today, all of the name brands that you could once trust for their quality, no longer concern themselves with quality…only profits.
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat. In doing so, it throws off the spine’s alignment and worsens any back problems you have. The latex topper insulates you from the memory foam and provides long lasting surface comfort that doesn’t allow you to sink.
The latex topper also prevents the premature wear of the mattress, caused by the memory foam that’s in it.
The latex topper ships via ups.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales.
Thanks, Pete
**********************************************
Just a little.
Opt for that Beautyrest in Firm vs. Medium Firm
Also, change the topper to the Suite Sleep 3” Soft Vita Talalay Latex Topper.
Shown here:
The extra inch of softer latex won’t negate the support of the Firm mattress…which your size requires.
However, the firm mattress will be too firm for the curves of a female body.
Your wife will never feel the mattress with 3” of soft Talalay Latex, which will absorb all of her body weight.
It will provide the comfort a petite female needs, while doing a better job of relieving your pressure points.
That combination is perfect for both of you.
Also, since there is a pronounced difference in your sizes, rotating the mattress frequently will cause it to wear more evenly over the years.
Optimum rotating procedure is:
Once a month for the first year.
Once every 3 months thereafter.
