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!
