Do Memory Foam Mattress Really Help In Backpain?...thanks

clar0; The only thing that I can suggest is to try and talk to people who actually own this type of mattress. Don't listen the what the company claims. The thing that I like about it is that it forms to your spine and spreads the weight of your body over the entire area. Not just a few boney ones like the shoulders and hips. I have a memory foam overlay on my bed that I got at Costco. I love it and it has helped my low back pain. The mattress was about 150$. This might be something that you can try before spending thousands on a full foam mattress. Just remember that it took about a week before I got used to the mattress and noticed a difference. Hope this helps

I have the 4 inch memory foam overlay as well and it helps me sleep so much better. I have a herniated disc in my L-4,L-5. Try it for sure!!!!!!

I Have changed matresses 5 times because of desperation, and have not gotten any releif. I just bought an 1100$ Memory foam mattress to no avail but my situation is probably different as I have severe muscle spasms.-PaulPain

Dear Everybody,
I had tolerated my muscle pain for too many years - without sleep- and finally was about to beg my Back Pain specialist for some Celestone/ Moricaine (spelling?) injections when he agreed to do it. By God it works. I actually slept last night for the first night in over a month. Lets prey it works. Now I think I am going to ask him to inject the lower part of my back. It is my miracle.-Paul

I HAVE A BAD BACK. IF YOU GET A FOAM EGG CRATE PADDING FOR THE BED IT DOES HELP. I ALSO HAVE A FOAM PILLOW THAT HELPS. YOU CAN GET IT AT BED BATH AND BEYOND.

I bought the 4" memory foam one from Costco. Both me and my boyfriend love it. We have been using it for two years. It is the most comfortable mattress ever. It really helps.

I talked to someone else that owned the 4" foam mattress and they had similar results. They also said they bought the full foam one and did not like that one and went back to the 4" one. I think the cheaper version in this case is the better. The 4" inch one is just soft enough and though enough with a regular mattress.

The only bad think is that the mattress tends to slide to one side for some reason. I thought this was because my bf was heavier than me, but when we got a new bed frame and moved everything, the mattress was now moving to my side. The other person I know that has this mattress said they have the same problem. No big deal, you just slide it over every couple of days.

Everyone that I know, that owns this mattress, likes it. I do not however like their pillows, too high. There is one memory pillow this is feather on one side that is not as high and works well for me, but that one that is designed for necks, don't buy that one. Maybe it is because I am small, but that one kills my neck.

Has anyone tried a mattress from RestOnClouds?

I'm looking at their 10" memory foam mattress, and the ThermoPlush Premium. Any input would be appreciated.

We did research for quite a while to find a mattress for my lower back pain. We settled on the TempurPedic with the foam pillows and I couldn't be happier with it. It really does adjust to your body and spreads your weight evenly.

The negative is the cost (about $3,000). but you get what you pay for. I would recommend it to anyone with back pain. I've never used the 4" memory foam covering you can get from retail stores, but others seem to be satisfied with them for much less money.

If you're looking for a good workout to get in shape/loose weight, do POWER 90 from beachbody. It's great! Though I'd throw that out there since this is a health forum.

RE: Memory foam mattress - I wouldn't be without mine. It takes a while to get used to it because it feels so different than any other mattresses. You may also find that you don't need as many pillows, I find that one buckwheat pillow is enough for me now. It certainly works for me and I'd definitely recommend it. My mattress isn't a super expensive big name one - it's literally memory foam laid over my existing (and also good quality) mattress.
I'd recommend it to anyone. Hope that helps!

ive got one
a temprepedic memory foam

and its GREAT
