I have chronic lower/mid back problems due to degenerative disc disease.
I also sleep on my stomach, which is bad for people with back problems, but I can't help it. I am looking for a king mattress that will be good for my back pain and will either... 1) allow me to sleep on my stomach and help with my back 2) make me comfortable enough to fall asleep on my back while giving me some support THere are a lot of choices out there... 1) Traditional mattress (firm, soft, or pillow top) 2) Swedish Tempur-pedic mattress 3) Craftmatic adjustable bed 4) Air matress (Select Comfort or Comforaire) 5) Latex mattresses Does anyone have any personal experience similar to mine that found a good solution. Cost really isn't an issue, so if I need to spend big $$$$ on a mattress, I will. Thanks! |

I can tell you what worked for me....back pain for years...
We had a 15 year old firm mattress....tried one of the tempur-pedic pillows... The next morning, pain gone....next week pain still gone...they have a 30 day try it program...if you don't like it, take it back... Then got the mattress....expensive, but since it should last 15 years....not too bad. I like it. That said, they have a 30 day trial on the mattress also...although who is going to schlep a mattress back to the store... While the mattress is good, the pillow made the difference for me. I also have to sleep on my back, if I flop over, much pain.... Hope it helps., herb |
