Hi Pete,
I am 56 years old, 5'9 and weigh 200 lbs.
I am currently sleeping on a Tempurpedic with an adjustable base.
I have been a bartender for over 30 years.
I have just developed sciatica and the pain in my lower back and shoulder.
I find this bed unbearable to sleep in any longer.
I would like to buy a new mattress and keep the adjustable base.
My bed is king size and my partner is 5'8 and about 190 lbs.
Please help!
We have had the bed less than a year.
I know this mattress has contributed to the problem.
Thanks, Andrea
Hi Andrea,
The problem is the memory foam in that Tempurpedic mattress.
The promote that junk, as if it were the best thing since sliced bread.
It is, in fact, the worst upholstery material ever invented.
It’s temperature sensitive, meaning that it softens as it warms from your body heat.
Once softened, your body sinks into it.
It will sink furthest, wherever you’re heaviest...usually around the hips and waste.
THIS, is what is throwing off the alignment of your spine, which is causing the sciatica pain.
The material that IS the best, has always been pure, all natural latex.
You have to be careful here, as well.
Lots of online latex is made in China, where they use clay as filler, which cheapens it.
As a result, it doesn’t wear well.
Pure latex, on the other hand, wears extremely well...lasting for decades.
Here is a link the the EverEden, US made, Pure All Natural Latex Mattresses.
I suggest the 9” Model with a firm 6” core and a soft 3” top.
UPS Delivery is Free and there’s no sales tax.
While you wait for your new mattress to arrive, flip that Tempurpedic mattress over.
The underside is much firmer. The foam on the bottom is not temperature sensitive.
It’s probably too firm for comfort, but your sciatica pain should subside.
ALSO IMPORTANT:
I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Thanks, Pete
