Mattress Recommendation, Back Pain from Herniated Discs.

Elizabeth writes:

Hi Pete,
I found your site so informative. I'm interested in your recommendation for a mattress.
My spouse is 58 with a history of back surgery (herniated discs). Height: 5'9" Weight: 160 lbs. Also, he has some issues with sore hips and general back pain.
I am 52, Height:  5'9"  Weight:  140 lbs  Generally a poor sleeper with a few aches and pains.
We currently have a sleep number bed. It is probably 10+ years old and does not seem to work well for us anymore.  
And from what I have read on your site it is not the right choice for someone with back issues.  
I'm looking for a recommendation for mattress that would be a good fit for his back issues and my poor sleep issues?  
Something from the Natura Greenspring line is what I am considering. But, you are the expert, so will defer to you.
Thank youElizabeth
 
Hi Elizabeth,
If going with a Greenspring mattress, it’s likely to last you for the rest of your lives.
But because the components are of such high quality, so resilient, so durable...there’s a good possibility that it won’t be comfortable enough for people who are so slender...so light in weight for your heights.
Even if you go with the Ultra Plush model, you may need to add something to soften it further.
Your comfort is what concerns me. After all, what good is a mattress that lasts so long if you’re not comfortable.
Here’s a link to those mattresses:


If I were to choose for you, I’d sacrifice the extraordinary longevity for more comfort, with the type of support is the same, although not as strong.
The upholstery is softer memory foam, but with a latex topper, the comfort is very good, with longevity being more in the 10 year range.

The mattress is the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm....and a 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper.
Here are links to both items.




The topper arrives via UPS.
The mattresses come with white glove delivery and removal of the old mattress.
Delivery is free and there’s no sales tax.


Thanks, Pete
