Making Your Mattress Comfortable When You Have Back PainFor years, medical professionals told back pain sufferers that the best bed that they could buy to help with their back pain was a very firm mattress. I heard this from every physician, physical therapist, and chiropractor I saw - and it just never worked for me. The problem - if the mattress was overly firm, my hip and shoulders would really start to ache after sleeping on the mattress. But if I tried a softer mattress when I traveled, my lower back really would hurt in the morning - to the point where I sometimes could hardly move. So I stuck with the really firm mattress - it was the only one that prevented my back from going out but my quality of sleep really suffered due to my shoulder and hip pain. After years of this, I finally found an something that helped - a memory foam mattress topper pad. I got one of the expensive Tempur-Pedic mattresses, and it just made all the difference in the world. It relieved the pressure on my hips and shoulders, but it wasn't so soft that it undermined the support for my lower back that I got from my firm mattress. I've never slept without a memory foam mattress pad since. And these days they are much less expensive - and you can get a whole mattress that incorporates memory foam for a good price these days also. To find out more about the memory foam, you might want to check out the Healthy Foundations web site. They offer a lot of information and buying guides on memory foam. They also do offer both a memory foam mattress and a memory foam mattress topper pad. All their products come with a 365 day money back guarantee, so you can try them risk free in your home and see if they work for your back.
