Hi Pete,
I’m very interested in your Natura Greenspring Mattresses, It has excellent reviews.
But, I’m a little concerned because I’m not able to try the mattress.
First of all, I noticed that the mattress contains wool.
I have a problem with wool clothing in that it makes me itch and I’ll end up getting red from it.
Will this be a problem with the mattress? Also, not sure if I need Firm or Plush.
Secondly, I have broken my back 5 Times and have a lot of problems sleeping at night.
I bought a Tempurpedic mattress which I exchanged for another because I was unable to sleep comfortably.
The comfort level did not improve with the new one and I have put up with it now for five years.
I tried several mattresses today including the Simmons Beautyrest Black, Serra, and Stearns and Foster.
I found that the plush models were often too soft and didn’t provide enough support.
I would like a mattress that is supportive but comfortable and doesn’t wake me up at night with sore hips and shoulders when I try sleeping on my side. Maybe I am asking for too much from a mattress.
Buying a mattress that comes rolled up in a box makes me a bit apprehensive.
I like the idea of a person having to install it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
73 years old and haven’t had a good night’s sleep in over 15 years.
Thanks so much, Diana
Good Morning Diana,
All of those mattresses that you tried and didn’t work for you have one thing in common that made it impossible for you to get comfortable. They are all upholstered with memory foam.
Despite all the hype to the contrary, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
It’s a temperature-sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat.
You then sink into it…further and further as the weeks and months go by.
You lose the alignment of your spine and hit the firmer materials that support it.
Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…and not under the terms of the warranty. Memory foam has many negative side effects and is simply a poor-quality product.
And as if all that wasn’t bad enough, memory foam off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.
Trying before you buy was the way to go about all this back in the day before memory foam came to dominate the industry. Now, it’s nothing more than a bad habit, since memory foam is so highly deceptive.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is what my wife and I sleep on at home.
Our mattress is still in like new condition after more than 9 years, with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.
And even though I have several disc-related back problems, I sleep and wake without back pain.
The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable of their 4 models, without being too soft by anyone’s standards.
That is the mattress I recommend for you.

The thin layer of wool acts as a natural fire retardant.
Most other mattresses use chemicals for that.
The wool is under a cotton cover. You then will add a waterproof mattress protector, or should.
And, then there’s your fitted sheet.
Since the wool will not come in contact with you directly, there’s no problem.
This mattress comes with white glove delivery.
Delivery includes set up in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.
Thanks, Pete
A waterproof mattress protector will extend the life of any mattress, keeping it clean and dry.
