Too Soft High End Stearns and Foster Mattress Causing Back Pain.

Diane writes:

Hi Peter, 
I wished I had discovered this website sooner. It seems to be very helpful. 
My husband and I purchased a very high dollar  ($3000 queen set) Stearns and Foster Plush Euro Pillow Top Mattress and low profile box spring at a large chain store. 
We had an old Sealy Posterpedic that we were replacing. I am 49, 135 lbs, my husband is 54 and 180 lbs.  
He has shoulder pain, I have arthritis in neck and upper back and  bulging disk in lower back. 
In the store, this S&F felt incredible. We laid on it for about 15 minutes in various positions. I  spent well over 2 hours in the store trying out every model they had.
Now, at home, we have noticed several things. First, when we are both in bed we seem to roll to the middle. 
We added some extra slats to the bed  frame because we noticed the lo-profile box spring that came with the  mattress was sinking underneath. (Now there are 10 slats total). 
We have  also noticed when we turn in bed the box spring makes noise. My back pain seems to be worse at times. We can exchange it one time and can only go UP in price. 
If we do find something less expensive we lose the difference. I want to make sure we get the right mattress/box spring this time.  
We will ultimately be buying a second set of mattresses for a cabin we are building in Colorado, so I would like to  get this "mattress business" figured out. 
Thank you so much for your help and advice. Diane

Hi Diane,
You went for luxury and are now paying the price. The mattress industry is geared to selling you the most expensive, most luxurious mattress they can....because that's where the profit is.
No one at those big chain stores is trained to offer advice as to what would be good for you. They play on the accepted concept that if it cost's more, it must be better.
Now, you're stuck with an exchange from them and nowhere to go but up in price.
The only mattresses worth $3000 would be all latex mattresses. If they offer those, get that. Be sure that it isn't too soft. A too soft mattress will worsen any back problems you have.
Make sure your bed frame has a center support that has a leg to the floor. Slats alone will bow...and the boxspring & mattress will bow, as well.
I wish you luck.
