"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. ...

"thanks. When you all suggest something with good springs, do you mean to avoid the "Big S" brands? What are some brands you would recommend? Why is Kingsdown a mistake specifically? I searched for toppers on this board but there are just too many posts to go through. Where to start with good brands of toppers? Why are the build-your-own foam beds so much better than the temperpedic or comforpedic?"

LPAD. The above, and specifically "...there are just too many posts to go through. Where to start with good brands of toppers," is what set a couple of us off. Please reread your post and realize how much information was requested. Also realize that everything has been addressed here in the past month or so, and it takes a lot longer to thoughtfully write a book than to read a book. And in the...

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,...

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...

We are not a store.  We have a brand new king size comforpedic that was in a microbial bag standing in our bedroom.  This is the high end one over $4000.  We don' t have the room for it and can' t return it- very upsetting.  It was slept on by me and my wife for about 2 weeks.  Originally bought from sleepys in NJ in FEB.  If you or anyone is interested please call us at home 201 712-1040 or email me at   mtrawinski@verizon.net .   We are willing to take off $1000 and sell for around $3000 for this barely used Comforpedic.  It is in absolutely brand new condition.  The only thing we would have to work out if someone is interested is shipping unless you have a truck or are near the Bergen county area in NJ  we might be able to help truck it to you.   All original paperwork is sitting in our bedroom next...

Who died and left you in charge? It's a mattress forum, you must be pathetic in real life if all you can do here is blast anyone who asks a question.

Next to buying a tombstone, this is probably the hardest decision you have to make.  Sadly, there are many people in my industry who take advantage of people and give all of us a bad name.  I will try to remedy that with some honest advice.

For the most part, the advice given on the welcome page is solid.  Follow those guidelines and your experience will be a good one.  As far as the types of beds, you generally have firm, plush, and pillowtop.  For many years, people were told the firmer the better.  This could not be further from the truth!  That myth led to generations of back problems.  It drives me crazy when a person comes in and says my doctor or my chiropractor told me to get the firmest bed you have.  I usually tell them to get a new doctor!  For the people who do not walk out on...
