"I'm guessing you've never been pregnant. "

True. And physiologically impossible. But women are built to handle pain. Suffer, sometimes quietly. Men aren't.
However, I have had lower back pain issues off and on for years from sports, at times nearly debilitating. The few chiros I tried were far more interested in insurance, and how many treatments per week that could be covered, than in curing the condition. I'm not saying all are like that, but I wouldn't go to one again. I did have great success with a couple of osteopaths (also spinal manipulation, but also training equal to MDs) at different times, and on each occasion left office with relief after one manipulation, with no more suggested or required. What really helped was Bob Anderson's book "Stretching", recommended by an osteopath together with some specific exercises for strengthening abdominal muscles. ...

Yep, I agree. That's my plan. Just trying to find a California King that won't cost me $$$$
The W Hotel is a PLUSH Simmons Beautyrest. Will report back later today...

Thanks for all the advice.

I am sleeping on a crappy spring mattress the last couple of nights, while I wish it had more support (its so soft the thing BENDS when I lay on it!), however  it is much nicer for me than all the foam I was using!  I really think now a decent spring bed and a couple layers nice foam is going to be perfect for me.

I am going to check out the W Hotel plush bed on Wednesday.  Its on sale for $840 california king delivered no tax.  Its basically the Simmons Beautyrest classic.
Only neg, it has NO returns allowed since it is such a "good" deal....

You really do enjoy your role as the forum curmudgeon, don't you? I'm guessing you've never been pregnant OR had intractable, excruciating sciatica - and certainly not at the same time. I'm just saying..... There are chiros and there are chiros. LBP is one of the things they have a good reputation for.

My bigger point is that I think some of the back problems described on this forum need more than the perfect mattress. I think some people might need to exercise,...

Don't feel bad - the sarcasm went over my head, too.

For those of us who are convinced that the Big S companies and others sell mattresses made of pure crap materials, it is difficult to answer these questions without sounding like curmudgeons who hate all mattress manufacturers (which, okay, I basically am! ;-D )

I mean, the facts are the facts: Sealy loads most (if not all) of their mattresses with crappy unsupportive material. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.

I will venture to guess that Serta, Spring...

I don't know how much Simmons may have improved in the past 10 years but I can tell you that as of 10 years ago, their springs were very lightweight (read: apt to lose their support) and tied together so precariously that moving the mattress around can totally wreck them (read: delivery guys can screw them up bringing them to you or you can screw them up moving them to another room, etc.)

I was one of the original "Simmons haters" on this forum, as I had one that didn't even last a year before it was killing me (and that was before I had all these back problems from an accident, etc.)

Read a lot of reviews and do further checking before buying a Simmons.

I still say, go with strong springs (any brand that has decent springs), get the most ULTRA firm you can get (this basically just means "very little...

i guess the problem for me was when I performed the search function there were too many *irrelevant* posts that came back.  Not to be a newbie and start off complaining about the search function.  However, I was able to more easily just read through the posts by page, after all there are only 6 pages of posts in the last 6 months......

Anyways, I think I have found the direction I want to go in, and that is latex.  I really like what savvy rest had to offer but I *believe* I can get something very similar in the S/F Oasis or Sealy Springfree (and for a lower price).  While they are not adjustable post purchase, they do offer several levels of firm to plush choice, and I think I will be able to find one that we both can be happy on.  I believe that I am one of...
