Joe - Back problems and a Tempurpedic Mattress

Joe writes,

Not sure if i'm following proper procedure for posting my question so apologies ahead of time. I now have a 2nd herniated disc within the last few months. Looking to replace our Tempurpedic. From what i've read on here, it would appear that you would recommmend a S&F for my situation. Would any of your latex mattresses be a consideration? love your blog.

  
Hi Joe,
At this point in the deterioration process,
I would not suggest an all foam mattress of any type. A firmer Stearns & Foster is a good choice. You can always soften the surface with a latex topper once your back stops acting up.
I can promise you that the mattress you have is exacerbating your problem.

Cindy - Stearns & Foster Chestnut St mattress

Hi, I have pretty bad back pain and was considering the Stearns $ Foster Eureka Springs Luxury Firm (feels a little too soft) and the Stearns & Foster Chestnut St Firm Pillow Top (feels comfortable but I'm worried it might be too hard) What are your thoughts? Thank you! Cindy

 

Hi Cindy,
Both, are good beds. It's very hard to know what you'll be happy with, long term, from trying beds for a few minutes at the store.
Many stores offer a comfort exchange, but they are expensive to use.
The best thing to remember, under these circumstances, is that you can easily soften the surface of a mattress that is too firm and there is nothing you can do to firm up a mattress that is too soft.
Remember too, a mattress does soften with age and that most back problems react better to firmer than softer.
You might want to check our prices for those beds. Model names vary from store to store, but their Chestnut St. is our Blisswood and their Eureka Springs is our Kimberley.
