OT – Best mattress

[no_such_reality]

I like the Custom Comfort XX Firm. We’ve topped it with a 2 inch Serta memory foam. It gives us the memory foam cushioning for pressure points with the underlying firmness to get support. We bought an extra thick cotton mattress pad/cover to get breathabilty on the memory foam.

I’ve tried the tempurpedics in the stores and the higher end ones are better about that sink in feeling.(Rhapasody II etc.) I couldn’t stand the classic tempurpedic within minutes of lying down on it.

jpinpb,
Try reading “The mind body connection” by Dr Sarno. I did several years ago and found it to be very interesting. Also there is a PT rehab (health source) in Rancho Bernardo, that specializes in pilates for back pain, and my insurance paid for it. Both really helped.

“Went and checked out the Sleep Number. Set it at 100. Pretty nice and firm. Hubby hates it. Adjusted his side low. Doesn’t matter. Says it’s like sleeping on an air mattress. He loves the Tempurpedic. I don’t know how many more nights I can stand it. We may be doing different beds if this keeps up.”

We checked on the tempupedic and almost bought one. Then we slept on one at a relative’s for a week and really didn’t like it. Wound up with a sleep number – the middle of the road series. The various series have different amounts of foam and we felt they did make a difference. Hubby went throught the same thing as you before that and said sleeping on the floor felt better than beds. He slept much better with the sleep number set at 100 initially, but the chiro said if your bed is too firm, then your body/back stays tense and to try softening it up a bit. He lowered it to 85-90 and it is more comfortable for him. I usually keep my side at 40-45. Lower than that and everything aches the next day.

So maybe try the various bed series with the different amounts of foam. I think we had the 30 day option to return it if we weren’t happy with it. You can also have them do the pressure point test at the store to see where your pressure points are and at what number they’re eased. IIRC, they do the test on one of the beds without much foam though and we thought some of the other beds were more comfortable.

jp, I had lower back pain on and off for years. I came to understand that it was a manifestation of feeling unsupported in my life. At the same time I was healing those issues emotionally, we purchased a Simmons (spent more money on that bed than anything else at that point in my life).

No lower back pain since.

Oh and yoga

Oh and I quit smoking

Much healing sent to you.
