Deciding between 4 lbs. density vs 5 lbs. memory foam topper to relieve shoulder/hip discomfort
|
It's been a good while since I've posted here! I'm still happy with my talalay latex/spring/high density poly foam combination zippered mattress. But I notice as I'm getting older, I'm starting to feel pain on my shoulders and hips when I sleep for too long on my side. I constantly have to turn. I also can't sleep on my back for too long or I get lower back pain. I know it's arthritis because I get very stiff from sitting for long periods of time, as well as when I get up from bed in the morning. Extra weight doesn't help, either, I'm sure. :/ So, I was thinking a 2 inch foam topper might help. What do you think of the 5 lbs. vs the 4bs. density? I was also thinking that 3 inches might make me sink in too much. So would a 2 inch suffice? Would you recommend FoamByMail for this? Also, would the 5 lbs. density be soft enough for side sleeping without compromising support? And maybe easier for my lower back? I don't want to sink in too deeply. Any advice and tips will help! Would a 4 lbs. density work fine? Thanks. http://www.foambymail.com/V_5/5lb-memory-foam-topper.html This message was modified Aug 16, 2014 by BeddyBye

Re: Deciding between 4 lbs. density vs 5 lbs. memory foam topper to relieve shoulder/hip discomfort
| No replies or advice? I'm basically clueless when it comes to density or height of memory foam toppers. Was hoping for some insight from any of you who might know more than me. :) I don't want to order something unless I have a good idea what I'm getting. Initially thought I would get a Comfort Revolution from Costco on sale right now. Reviews weren't that great. But it would be a lot easier to return the vs. FoamByMail. Anywaaaay, let me know what you think! |
