I have chronic lower/mid back problems due to degenerative disc disease.
I also sleep on my stomach, which is bad for people with back problems, but I can't help it. I am looking for a king mattress that will be good for my back pain and will either... 1) allow me to sleep on my stomach and help with my back 2) make me comfortable enough to fall asleep on my back while giving me some support THere are a lot of choices out there... 1) Traditional mattress (firm, soft, or pillow top) 2) Swedish Tempur-pedic mattress 3) Craftmatic adjustable bed 4) Air matress (Select Comfort or Comforaire) 5) Latex mattresses Does anyone have any personal experience similar to mine that found a good solution. Cost really isn't an issue, so if I need to spend big $$$$ on a mattress, I will. Thanks! |

Thanks everyone for their responses so far.
To summarize for everyone: Exercise and stretching regimen: I have a program, but will admit that I don't do it enough Medications: I am currently taking up to 6 ibuprofens daily (usually 3 at a time, twice a day), or one Darvocet PRN Orthopedic doctor: have one. Surgery is the LAST result. Biggest problem is sleeping on my stomach, which I have tried to no avail to fix, but can't break the habit. So it goes down to my original question, about a good mattress for stomach sleepers. Thanks everyone. I am going to look at some number selector mattresses this weekend. Regards, Karl |
