OT – Best mattress

[jpinpb]

Tried accupuncture after the chiros didn’t work. It helped a little, but not covered under insurance. Can’t keep going. It gets expensive, but I have to say, I was impressed w/accupunture.

I used to have a heated waterbed many moons ago. It was not bad. Just a hassle when moving. I wouldn’t know what to tell you about as far as the smell.

I agree with you on the acupunture thing–the results seem to be pretty impressive, but the cost/lack of insurance coverage is a big issue. This is one area where I wish there would be a paradigm shift to allow for more access to treatments like this, where there is a tangible benefit but it isn’t mainstream here yet. Not wacky fringe treatments (no offense to anyone who *likes* wacky fringe treatments!) but stuff like acupunture with proven benefits. Cranio-sacral therapy might be covered by insurance–I’m not sure, but they were starting to do it in the military before my hubbie got out.

I’m w/you atr. I could of course pop pills and no shortage of doctors wanting to medicate me. I just want to know the problem, not take something for the symptom. Frustrated w/the medical system. They either want to cut you up or give you drugs.

When they were trying to tell me it was a posterior ulcer, they wanted me to take Prilosec and all the other ulcer meds. And I was sure it wasn’t. I made them do the blood test and endoscopy to prove it wasn’t. I refused to take the meds unless they told me for sure it was an ulcer.

Maybe I’ll just make another trip to the accupuncturist.

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.
