Hi Pete,
I'm writing in hopes that you can help me and my husband find a mattress.
He has upper back pain that is aggregated by sleeping on our current, failed sleep number bed.
However, if he sleep on a blow up air mattress on the floor he wakes up feeling great!
I would prefer him not have to sleep on the floor every night!
I'm not that picky, as far as mattresses is concerned, so our goal is to find one that will work for him.
Pete is 6'2.5" and 198 lbs. He is 40 years old and prefers to sleep on his side.
We are wondering if we need to try a memory foam mattress.
But after chalking up $400 in shipping for the failed sleep number I'm hesitant to buy another ridiculously expensive designer/gimmick bed.
What are your thoughts?! Thank you for entertaining my question!
Sincerely, Jennifer (and Pete)
Hi Jennifer,
The problem Pete is having is caused by the top layer memory foam in the sleep number mattress. The blow up mattress doesn't have memory foam.
And buying a memory foam mattress will only take you from bad to worse.
Contrary to all the ads and hype that you've been following, thus far, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.
A mattress with an individually pocketed coil unit will contour to the shape of the body and maintain the spine's natural alignment.
I recommend the mattress we sleep on, at home....The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.
The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex and contains NO Memory Foam.
Latex is and has been thee best upholstery material for the past 100 years.
It's a question of quality....something you don't have now.
Here's a link to that line of mattresses:
