What mattress for sciatica? Simmons Beautyrest & latex topper

Paulette writes:


Hi Pete,
I am a petite woman 5'2", 110 lbs. and my husband is a large man, not fat, 5'10", 210 lbs. we are young, early 30s. He is in perfect health, but I suffer from sciatica. The pain travels around my hip and down my leg. No matter what mattress we try, the pain won't go away. The Tempurpedic went back after making the pain worse, as did the Select Comfort bed and the Serta iSeries pillowtop mattress, which felt great, at first, but quickly started to sag and became painful.
My old mattress was too firm, but I wish I had it back. After spending hours, last night, reading your incredibly helpful blog posts, I've decided to defer to you. Your depth of knowledge and expertise is very impressive. I'm going to trust that what you recommend for me will be what I need. To be honest, I have come to the realization that I just don't know what I'm doing, when it comes to this. And after being so badly mislead by the salespeople at the stores, I don't trust that they know what they're doing, either.
Thanks in advance, Paulette


Hi Paulette...and thank you. We will get you and your husband all fixed up.
Near the base of your spine is the nerve center for the lower half of your body. To have sciatica, you must also have discs in that are that have worn. The vertebrae are now pinching a nerve, which creates the pain you described.
The best you can do to relieve the nerve from being pinched, is to maintain your spine's natural alignment. A hard mattress, like the one you had hold you up too high and don't give enough at the hip. Soft mattresses, like the ones you bought, allow you hip to sink too far. Either way, your body's natural alignment was thrown off...which then pinches the nerve that causes the sciatic pain you're feeling.
Of all the innerspring mattresses available, the Simmons Beautyrest, with individually pocketed coils that move independently from one another, does the best job of maintaining your spine's natural alignment. At you size, almost any Beautyrest will do. But, you mattress also has to support a large man.
Your best option is the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Annapolis Place in luxury firm. This will provide contouring support and be strong enough to hold a man the size of your husband.
At your size, the mattress itself will be a little too firm for comfort. Add to that, a 2" soft Talalay latex mattress topper. Latex is the highest quality material available. It will do more than just soften the surface of the mattress. It will hold you up and not allow you to sink...giving just enough with your hip and otherwise, provide a zero gravity feel. Latex lasts for many years and is all natural. Because it is so resilient, it will also add years of life to the mattress. Your husband will also enjoy the comfort it provides.
What's more, your sciatica pain will go away and you'll sleep deeply.
Here are the links to the mattress and topper. You can order on line or call to order.
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
