The memory foam in my mattress is killing me - I need advice

[phoenix]

Hi mattress_advice,

The current mattress I have is a Simmons Hospitality mattress, and I am wondering if it is possible to have it cut open, and have the foam stuff removed and replaced with a layer of cotton and wool. It has a 1,000 coil count and I’d like to keep using that if possible.

I live in Orlando. Are there any such professionals who do this? What should I be looking for? Or am I better off just buying yet another mattress?

It may be worth calling Fox Mattress or Atlas Mattress Factory in the Orlando list here and ask them if they can remove the memory foam and rebuild your mattress.

If they don’t and the only other alternative would be to dispose of your mattress then there is more about mattress surgery in post #2 here and the posts it links to that may be helpful.

If you do decide to try and “rebuild” your mattress it would probably be easier to replace your memory foam layers with polyfoam or latex than to replace them with cotton or wool which can be much more tricky to work with.
