A Mattress or Latex Topper for a sore hip and spinal stenosis.

Hi, Pete,

We purchased the Talalay medium soft latex topper, just over a year ago. 

I am a long time customer from when we lived in Delaware and you were in NJ.  

We now live in Lancaster, PA, where the topper was sent to.

 

I should have bought the firm topper, as my right hip still is still very sore each night and may or may not be due to a mild spinal stenosis I have (for which the doc says I should sleep on firm).

 

Anyway, is there anything, such as a really thin piece of plywood, or any suggestions, that I can place under the topper to make it more firm?  Our topper was $600 and we just can’t afford a new mattress.  

If plywood works, can you tell me how thin or thick?  

And if we are forced to get a new mattress, not cement-like firm, what do you suggest?

Thanks, Cathy

 

Hi Cathy,

It’s counterintuitive, to me, to think that a firmer surface will make your hip feel better.

Quite the opposite has proven to be true.

Stenosis is a completely different issue. One has nothing to do with the other.

For that, firm contouring support will maintain the spine’s natural alignment.

That’s best achieved with a mattress using an individually pocketed coil system.

 

I don’t know what mattress you have, but if it’s upholstered with memory foam, memory foam will make any physical condition worse.

 

Flip your mattress over and re-apply the topper.

This should be all you need to do.

 

Thanks, Pete
