A mattress for chronic lower back, neck and fibromyalgia pain.

Glenn writes:

 

Good Morning, Pete.

My wife has chronic lower back, neck and fibromyalgia pain. 

I am trying to help her with a new mattress. 

She is in bed so often due to severe pain that the current mattress is worn out.

Please share your thoughts with us at your earliest convenience.

Thank you, Glenn

 

Hi Glenn,

The Wolf Brolynn Old Fashioned Two Sided Mattress in Plush is my recommendation.

The individually pocketed coils will maintain her natural alignment and relieve her back pain.

The plush upholstery is comfy and will ease her fibro pain.

Her body being properly aligned, may be enough to ease her neck pain.

If not, The PureBliss Shredded Talalay Latex Pillow is designed to relieve chronic neck pain.

Shown on this page:

And while that mattress is soft enough for many suffering with fibro, an additional Soft Mattress Topper may be necessary for more advanced cases. There is a large selection of them on this page:

Can you recommend a new mattress to replace my old one?

Linda writes:

Hi Pete,

Can you recommend a new mattress to replace my old one?

I am 58 yr old woman, 140 pounds, a lot of lower back pain, shoulder pain, muscular pain and stiffness throughout. Probably Thyroid related, possible arthritis or maybe Fibromylagia, don’t know!

Husband is 250 pounds, but has no complaints.

I want comfort, support, and pain pressure points relief.

I want to feel better when getting up, instead of feeling sore and stiff!

Thanks a bunch, Linda

 

Hi Linda,

The Magniflex MagniStretch Mattresses are specifically designed to provide pain relief.

The first model on this next link is the most comfortable of the 3 models in that line.

A mattress for fibromyalgia, hip and shoulder pain.

Terri writes:

Hi Pete,

I've been researching for months for a mattress for fibromyalgia, hip and shoulder pain. 

I'm a side sleeper. I finally pulled the trigger on a Loom and Leaf mattress, and I hate it. 

It had zero edge support and was too firm. I wake up about every 2 hours to move. 

They are taking it back but now I'll have no mattress.

 

I have been to a few places and liked a Serta hills plush but there are many complaints about it not holding up and developing dips in less than 2 years. I tried out the icomfort and it seems too firm. 

I tried the Serta arctic and liked it but the cost is high. 

I tried a Marshall plush and liked it but again many reviews of dips in a short time and are expensive. 

I also sleep hot. I'm so lost at this point. 

I need a supportive mattress with softness on top for the pressure points that will last.

Something I can get in a reasonable amount of time and won't cost a fortune. 

Does that exist?

I really appreciate your time! Thank you.

Terri

 

Hi Terri,

All those bad reviews are due to the memory foam upholstery.

Memory foam, a soup of 61 chemicals…many of which are toxic, is a temperature sensitive material that causes the user to sleep hot.

What’s more, it’s specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

 

There’s no question that it feels good to many people, but that initial comfort is quickly lost.

I have railed against memory foam for years, due to all the negative side effects.

 

We have a line of mattresses from Magniflex, that are made in Italy.

These mattresses are all organic.

They produce the feel that so many people like about memory foam with none of the negative side effects.

Their unique material is not temperature sensitive, so they sleep cool, and last for many years.

 

I don’t know what is your idea of a fortune, but here is their softest model, which is ideal for relieving pain of shoulders, hips and from fibromyalgia.

The Magniflex MagniCool Gel 12 is the mattress I’m recommending.

Sleep Number Mattress not working for a 450 pound woman.

Ginger writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am currently sleeping on a Sleep Number Mattress.  

To me, it feels like I am just dealing with it, like when I go camping.

It is NOT comfortable, as the salesman promised it would be.  

I'm a very large woman, weighing close to 450 pounds.

I have a frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and severe osteoarthritis. 

I sleep alone but I also have positional vertigo, so I sleep catty-corner so I never feel like I am falling.

This sleep number bed is certainly not working!  

I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Ginger

 

Hi Ginger,

Not only is a Sleep Number the wrong mattress for someone your size, it’s the wrong mattress for most people. An air mattress is like a waterbed, relying on displacement rather than providing real support.

 

You're going to need a mattress strong enough to support your weight and provide proper spinal support, which you're not getting with an air bag. And you'll also need surface comfort for your other issues that the memory foam that's on top of that air bag is also not providing.

It's a tall order and not something you'll get with any mattress.

This will require a combination of products.

First, a mattress firm enough and strong enough to hold you and provide the support your spine requires.

That mattress is the Wolf Adrian...a very firm mattress with heavy interlocking coils.

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Soft Organic Latex Mattress Topper.

Pure Latex is and has been the most durable, most resilient upholstery material for the past 100 years.

Latex Foam is hypoallergenic.

Pure, All-Natural, Hypoallergenic Latex Foam has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

And now, this high quality resilient product is available in Extra Soft....creating the feeling that you're floating.

A mattress that can hold a 200 lb. woman with Fibromyalgia.

Heather writes: 

 

Hi Pete,

I need a mattress that can hold a 200 lb woman with fibromyalgia. 

But, it also needs to be long lasting to replace a 16 year old pillow top double sided Stearns & Foster mattress. I can’t remember what collection the mattress was at the time, but it was the most expensive available at that time costing around $4,000, if that helps you determine what Stearns & Foster model I’m replacing.

Thank You, Heather

 

Good Morning Heather,

The first thing that you must understand is that a lot has changed since you bought your S&F mattress.

Tempurpedic now owns S&F.

What used to be the Cadillac of the Industry is now nothing more than expensive junk…all due to the memory foam upholstery, which was not used in your mattress.

In order to make a successful purchase, it’s imperative that you avoid any mattress upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

It wears quickly, sleeps hot, and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made…a health hazard to every living being in your home.

 

Also, there is no mattress made today that will be strong enough to support a heavy person and soft enough to comfort a person suffering with fibromyalgia.

Your purchase will need to include a mattress for support and a topper or toppers sufficient to ease your fibro pain.

This type of sleep system combination will prevent you from having to replace your mattress frequently….only replacing the topper(s) from time to time.

 

The best mattress to get for you is the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush, which is not as soft as it sounds, due to the high quality of the components.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

Latex is and has been, by far, the most resilient upholstery material on the planet for the past 100 years…and the first topper to add for both comfort and durability.

The Suite Sleep, pure Vita Talalay Latex Topper is the one to get.

It’s the softest highest quality latex topper available.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/100-all-natural-pure-vita-talalay-latex-topper.html

Normally, this combination is enough for most fibro patients.

If you need the mattress to be softer still, add an alternative down comforter.

(Alternative Down, aka synthetic down, is extremely soft and keeps its loft much better than real down).

These can be found online or at stores like Bed Bath and Beyond.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them in 2013. 

The Natura Greenspring mattresses are what we found at the industry trade shows to replace the S&F brand, for their ultra high quality.

 

Delivery is FREE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Back pain on an all latex mattress.

Chrissy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have an all latex mattress, and I wake up with my back in pain.

All the research I did, told me that an all latex mattress was the best you could buy.

So, why does my back hurt?

We bought the mattress on-line, and it came in sections. I've rearranged those sections numerous times.

I just can't seem to find a combination that doesn't cause me pain.

To complicate matters, I have fibromyalgia, which does feel better with this mattress.

But I can't live with the back pain.

What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?

I thought latex was supposed to be the best.

We are average size people, so excessive weight isn't an issue for us.

I appreciate your guidance.

Thanks, Chrissy

 

Hi Chrissy,

You can't fix that. Let me help you complete you research. There were a number of things you missed.

The first thing is to know what's going on with your body.

It's likely that you have some disc problems in your spine that have yet to be diagnosed.

It's a common problem that develops with age...along with a number of other causes.

You need to have that checked out!

 

Latex is, in fact, the best of the foams.

Many of these latex mattresses in pieces, that you can find on line, are made in China.

Much of the latex that comes from China has clay added as a filler.

Since clay is a natural material, the mattresses are sold as "all natural".

However, adding clay to the mix, reduces the comfort, resiliency and longevity of the latex.

Chinese latex is, typically, the worst of all the latex available.

Even so, it's better than memory foam, which is the absolute worst upholstery material.

 

That said, latex...even the highest quality latex...has something in common with all other foams.

Even the best latex does not have the necessary push back support for disc related back problems.

The best type of support is an individually pocketed coil.

Mattresses using that type of coil system and natural latex (not from China), is the best you can do.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is my recommendation.

This mattress comes with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes set-up and removal of all packing materials.

Delivery is free throughout the US and Canada

 

Keep the softest layer of what you have to add to this mattress for your fibromyalgia.
