lutz Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 My chiropractor says they are a waste of money and do not help bad backs Sorry it's not the answer you wanted to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 Mixed views, mostly positive. We got one about six months ago and loved it at first, you tend to sink into them which is a nice feeling and it creates a comfortable hole. A few months down the line and it didn't seem to be doing it as much, so we took it off and stuck it on the daughter's bed. She loves it. Now though, the missus says she missus it and wants to get another, deeper, more expensive one. I think I've been shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 I have a bad back Tried firm mattresses but no good. Bought a memory foam mattress. Kids have them too Works for me and Mrs Spy and young Spy's I don't know what's caused your bad back but, with a lot of people, it's bad posture. Surely sleeping on something that moulds to a bad posture will only exacerbate the bad posture / back pain? I had back probs a few years ago (slipped disc) and the best pain relief for me was to sleep on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 Combination of factors, mainly sport related. Regular physio since then. Have tried to exercise cautiously to strengthen back and maintain posture. Sure all this has helped but mattress has been part of the recovery process it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Bob Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 We've got a firm matress with an integrated memeory foam top. We had a firm matress prior to getting it and it took some getting used to. A bit too much of a soft feel to start with but now we're used to it it's bloody lovely!

saint boggy Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 i've got a memory foam topper , and bloody LOVE it........i don't suffer with a bad back, so can't comment on its effectiveness in that respect, but it makes you feel snug as a bug when you climb into bed, thats for sure...

Johnny Bognor Posted 5 October, 2009 Share Posted 5 October, 2009 (edited) I recently went for a Sleep to Live mattress. The main benefits are that the springs are more dense on the key contact points thus giving superior support where it is needed. They make the mattress to fit your profile - which is calculated by a computerised bed. I required a harder profile whilst my missus needs it softer. The mattress is made in two halfs and so we are both happy as our respective sides of the mattress suits us best. They are a bit pricey, but over 10 years (the guarantee period) they cost about 30p a night. For me, that is a small price to pay for a perfect night's sleep especially when you spend at least 25%-30% of your life in bed. http://www.sleeptolive.com/home.html Edited 5 October, 2009 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
