Kelsey writes: Hi Pete, I'm looking for a new queen mattress that doesn't sleep hot.   My current one is a memory foam that is starting to indent after about 4 years.  At first, it was comfortable, but I am starting to have back pain. For work, I sit in an office chair for hours.   It replaced a double sided innerspring mattress I had for at least ten years that I loved but I couldn't find anything similar in mattress shops around me.   I want a mattress that doesn't cause me to sleep hot!    Do the latex mattresses run hot?     I'm not sure w ..read more

Richard writes:  Hi Pete, I am a 67 year old fireman.   I have had a back injury that is now getting worse with my age.   Which line of extra firm inner coil mattresses would you recommend?   I have had a Simmons Beautyrest World Class extra firm mattress for the past 15 years.

Stacey writes:  Hi Pete, I made a horrible mistake and bought a Sealy Posturpedic mattress made of memory foam.   The off-gassing is terrible (I wish I had seen your website earlier).     I'm thinking of taking your advice and buying a pocket coil mattress with no memory foam and then purchasing a latex mattress topper.  Have you heard of the Distinction brand of mattresses? If so, do you recommend a specific mattress?     Do the Suite Sleep Pure Vita Talalay Latex Toppers take a while to ship? Thank you so much for your help, Stacey   ..read more
