The Mattress Expert: Arm Pain

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress for a Big Man.

Melony writes:

Hello, Pete,

As with all your readers, I need your advice!

Only 2 years ago, we purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress.

Although our friends encouraged us to "give it time", we just weren't patient enough for the mattress to break in.

It remained so stiff for 3 weeks (and had my husband resorting to sleeping on the couch) before we had to return it.

We swapped for a cheaper innerspring mattress which slept good for about a year before it had body impressions on both sides.

Of course, the impression is deeper on my 270 lb. husband's side.

This has now caused painful sleeping and all-day soreness for us both.

We just don't know what to pick now! Scared to go with memory foam again, but it's hard to find a mattress without it.

We need advice as to a good mattress the will hold a big man and be comfortable for a lot longer than a year.

Thanks, Melony

Hi Melony,

Most of today's mattresses and all of the name brands that you used to be able to trust, are upholstered with memory foam.

None of them will wear well under normal body weight, let alone under a man as big as your husband.

My wife and I are big people and I have lots of disc damage in my back.

Thanks to the mattress we have now, I live without pain and there isn't so much as the slightest dent in the mattress after 3.5 years.

That Mattress is the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress, which is made in Quebec.

The coils are made of double tempered steel and the upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...containing NO Memory Foam.

The Ultra Plush model is what we have and is the most comfortable of the four models in that line of mattresses.

Latex Mattress Topper...Neck, Shoulder & Arm Pain Gone

Hi Pete:

I hope you had a nice holiday.. I received my topper on 11/10.. After several days, I did notice a big difference..no more neck, shoulder, and arm pain.

However, my sciatica is still bad when I get out of bed.. The extra topper is very comfortable.

Since I've only slept on it about two weeks, does the latex give way, not as fast as memory foam I guess, so my hips sink further in as time goes by?

I'm not sure if I should put a pillow in between my legs...I've always been a side sleeper, one leg pulled up and the other leg straight.. I have been waking up on my back.. I guess due to soreness..

This is crazy!! I was thinking about putting a memory foam pad where my hips are...If I add anymore latex, I'm afraid it will be way too soft.. Any suggestions?

Hopefully with time the latex will give way to my hips..at least the neck and shoulder pain has subsided.

My Eagles have gone from bad to totally WORSE!

Everyone here is sooo disgusted with this team and coach.

Chip needs to go back to college, he ruined this team!! Our sports teams are so so bad!!!

Kind regards, Karen

Hi Karen,

I'm happy to hear that many of your issues have been resolved with the latex topper.

Sciatica is a result of worn discs in the small of your back...at the base of your spine. With the discs worn, your vertebrae are pinching a nerve, which sends pain around your hip and down your leg.

This is serious damage that can't be fixed without surgery.

The key to relieving sciatica, as best you can, is maintaining the natural alignment of your spine....which can help to keep that nerve from being pinched.

This becomes a, "Whatever it takes" situation....finding the right position and using any and all tools at your disposal....the pillow under or between your legs, if that's what it takes.

On your back, put the pillow under your knees. On your side, between your knees.

I was 8 years old when the Eagles won their last championship.

To put that into perspective, I am now 63. That championship was prior to there being a Super Bowl.

There hasn't been a year since then, that the Eagles haven't been a disappointment.

It amazes me, to this day, the unrelenting optimism of the Eagles fans, early in every season....all that singing and chanting and trash talk...and always for nothing.

The Head Coach, whoever that happens to be at the time, is the always the fall guy. But frankly, I believe that the blame belongs higher up.
