It works!! The hardest part was to start cutting on my expensive mattress. Not because the actual cutting was difficult, it just seemed like the wrong thing to do. I ordered a piece Talalay Latex foam which is a 100% natural product and feels so much nicer than memory foam (which I have never liked). After the latex foam got here, I did exactly what they showed in the video and I now have a new comfortable mattress. AMAZING. If you have a king size mattress and one of you likes a firm bed and one likes a softer bed, you can order a twin size piece of latex in each of your preferred firmness levels. Just want to thank the guys who made this video.
Plus as you age you may want the comfort layer to be softer or firmer than in the past. It's so easy to change out the latex topper to a softer/firmer version for much less than a new mattress.
That's looks super easy! I was just looking at new beds and this looks like a great alternative to spending $2000 on a new one. And it's more environmentally friendly. Less garbage.
I inherited a very expensive sealy pillowtop from my neighbor who buys a new one every few years. It has the sagging foam issue. This is exactly what it needs.
This looks great my only thought is why is the zipper around the top and not the bottom of the mattress? it seems like there is a possibility of either an uncomfortable noticeability at the zipper or a potential for failure from sitting on the mattress or scooting in and out of bed etc. Also wanted to know if you have this system available for my short queen used in my rv?
THANK YOU!! Purchased mattress 2 years ago that is un-usable. I am going to try this before spending another $1000 to have the same issue in another 2 years!!
Very neat and illuminating!! Thank you. I wish I had seen this before getting rid of my old mattress!!! My one question is about the edges. I have a BeautyRest Pressuresmart mattress and the edges feel reinforced. Is the edging just part of the spring framing and fixed in place or can that be replaced as well? I do use the edge of the bed quite a bit and noticed where I've been sitting the most that the edge is no longer as firm as it was when new.
Very informative! I see you guys put one layer of latex on top. Would adding another layer of latex make the mattress last longer and prevent sagging or would adding another layer make it uncomfortable to sleep on because it’s”too much" latex I suppose? Would love your feedback!! :)
Interesting.. I was just thinking of doing just this. I have a Sealy bed that failed very quickly and I've been sleeping on it upside down for over 15 years. Time to salvage the springs and make a new mattress out of it.
I have been looking to make my own bed forever. Why didn't I find out about this earlier? You need to advertise. I'm going to rip apart my bed this weekend.
Advertising costs a lot of money and in the end you will be the one paying for it. We choose to market through our videos and word of mouth which keeps our prices affordable to the masses.
if you start with a 10" mattress and remove all the layers and put in 3" latex do you still have a 10" mattress in the end? And why not put the layers that were still ok back on top of the new latex?
Will storing a Sealy double sided pillow top mattress on its side for ten years ruin the springs? It dips now. The edges were fine but after sleeping on them for a few days, they dip too. Does that sound like the springs or the foam?
Ken, What are your thoughts on doing this with an pocket spring coil mattress? Or do you think that the latex would provide what the pocket springs offer (individualized support), so perhaps instead using the old school innerspring would offer a better base?
Great videos! I have a two sided McRoskey mattress. Is there a way to refurbish it? Their spring units are amazing but comfort has left the bed a long time ago.
Any idea why I can't see comments on any of your videos, Ken? I've been through several now. . . Hmm. . . well, the videos have been pretty informative, thanks!
Ken Hightower oh I think I get it. I have to cut open my mattress and order your foam topper and cover? As a 300 lb man I have been dealing with sagging mattress all my life. MY DONT U ADVERTISE??? im thinking infomercial
For someone your size you need either a very firm spring with medium to firm latex on top or best way it go with an all latex design. It's more expensive but it's a one and done. No more visits to the local mattress store.
Ken Hightower no I sold I will never buy a mattress from a mattress store. All I've gotten from them is lies, no service after the sale, and a 2000% mark up. I sent your videos to my Facebook account. I want everyone to buy from you.
As an engineer who has gone through multiple beds in the past 2 years I became suspicious of exactly what your site has said. I've been looking for places that will sell me an old-school style inner spring cotton pillow top without the crap foam that they are obviously using to screw people over, but now I am fascinated by your excellent idea of doing it yourself. I may do this with your products and if it works I'll do it for family members as well. Great business idea here I hope it's legit.
@@zuzi3088 Doubt it, but can you recommend some in beavercreek ohio or in the area. My bed is sagging in the middle and very uncomfortable. Got mine from mattress firm last year, doesnt help that Im big either
Well here’s something I’d thought too until I saw lots of good mattresses being thrown away at landfills. It was appalling as how we discard value to something that’s basically an investment. Like cars, people depreciate mattresses just because they’re used. When I used to peel them for scrap, I felt guilty about throwing away all that new foam underneath. In short, reuse and repurpose. If people buy used cars with new tires, what’s wrong with a mattress with a new cover?
I was looking for your information to purchase a latex mattress topper in cover, Please send me a telephone number of something where I can purchase. Thank you
It works!!

I just ripped open my $1500 mattress which was sold to me as a Latex Hybrid - the Latex was about 1/4 inch!!
Bed went bad in first 6 months !
what bed was that... I'm curious?
This looks great my only thought is why is the zipper around the top and not the bottom of the mattress? it seems like there is a possibility of either an uncomfortable noticeability at the zipper or a potential for failure from sitting on the mattress or scooting in and out of bed etc.

I'm trying to find a link to purchase the mattress topper and cover
So, so easy, love this as an alternative 🧡🧡🧡
if you start with a 10" mattress and remove all the layers and put in 3" latex do you still have a 10" mattress in the end? And why not put the layers that were still ok back on top of the new latex?
I would like to know where to thr cover

Where to get zipped mattress cover ?

Latex over pocket coil makes an excellent bed
Great videos! I have a two sided McRoskey mattress. Is there a way to refurbish it? Their spring units are amazing but comfort has left the bed a long time ago.
is this the same springs as in 1st video?
How do i purchase the kit?
What kind of scissors or cutting tool do you use for trimming the edges of the latex topper?
Excelent where can I buy your products?
mattresses.net
Any idea why I can't see comments on any of your videos, Ken? I've been through several now. . . Hmm. . . well, the videos have been pretty informative, thanks!
love it, I am going to do this to my bed soon
Awesome, take a video while your doing it so others can see. We have the replacement pieces to make it like new again.

Lunch time naps, after all that hard work! :)
that's fantastic
what's cost for me to do this on a king bed?
We have many choices, go to diymattress.net for component pricing.
$790. Good luck!
What would you suggest for those allergic to latex?
Excellent video.
Kind of sad when you realize how these people rip people off.

I like a mattress with a bit of a dip in it.
Good for skiing!!!

lol this is the best life hack I've seen. that mattress cover is only available at one store for $200+ tho :(
Yeah, I'm searching around for one now. I've only managed to find it on 3 places, and they're expensive.
