Hi Pete,
I am a side sleeper with a bulging disc at waistband level bulging on the right side, I think.
Most of the time it doesn’t bother me.
I read on your site that a more firm mattress seems to be best for a bulging discs.
But since I sleep on my side, my shoulder and sometimes my hip hurts when I have had a firmer bed in the past.
My current bed (Serta perfect sleeper super pillowtop) has started to sag, after only a year.
I'm now waking up with LOTS of back pain from kidneys to mid back on either side of the spine, all the time.
I sleep on my right side, rarely on my back and never on my stomach.
My current bed had been fantastic for the hip and shoulder aches when it was new.
But I'm most worried about comments that if too soft, I my bulging disc could herniate.
So I'm looking for the best mattress for that situation.
Side sleeper with bulging disc. I'm 5'9" & 222 lbs.
Thanks, Darren
Hi Darren,
That is all very true. It doesn't help that you bought such a poor quality mattress.
I'm sure you didn't know that, as I'm sure the salesman told you it was great.
The culprit is the memory foam inside your mattress, which is the worst upholstery material on the market.
I recommend, that which I sleep on at home.
We are similar in size, but my back is much worse than yours. I hit the trifecta, when it comes to back problems.
I too have bulging discs. I also have herniated disc and DDD, (Degenerative Disc Disease).
I've had these problems for the past 17 years and have have, in the past, suffered greatly because of them.
The mattress I have at home, is The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress uses a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system, which provides excellent back support.
The pre-compressed coils push up against you.
Being individually pocketed, they maintain the natural alignment of the spine.
The coil count is very high and the coils are very strong, made of double tempered steel.
The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex, providing a nice comfortable sleeping surface that remain like new for years.
I've had this mattress for more than four years, now. And it is, still, in like new condition.
What's more, I sleep and wake without pain.
And, the surface comfort is enough to cushion my shoulder rotator cuff problems.
You will love this mattress...as do all my customers who buy one.
