A Mattress to Relieve Back Pain, DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease).

 Regina writes:

Hi Pete,

I see many people write for mattress advice. I am 4’11 and weigh 150. 

I have DDD, (degenerative disc disease), in my lower back. 

I sleep on side and stomach, mostly. 

I slept on a Beautyrest mattress at a hotel and my pain was gone after only two days.


My pain returned after being home, so I went out and bought a Simmons Beautyrest mattress.

Of course, it was very comfortable at first, but after time my back pain worsened. 

I do not use it anymore. It made me sleep hot. 

I’m sleeping on the couch for now.

What is your recommendation?

Regards, Regina


Hi Regina,

The hotel Beautyrest mattress may have been older.

Since Simmons was sold, the new owners have switched to memory foam.

Memory foam allows the heavier parts of your body to sink, which throws off your spine’s alignment, worsening your back pain.

Being a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat, is what allows you to sink and sleep hot by reflecting your body’s heat back to you.

It’s nothing less than a horrible product, purposefully designed to cause a mattress to wear faster.


What that hotel Beautyrest had that relieved your back pain, was the individually pocketed coil system, that’s designed to provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine….minus the memory foam.


My recommendation is for the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress.

For your size and condition, I recommend getting it in Medium Firm.

This mattress has that same coil system, upholstered with Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex, which cushions you, but holds you up.

Latex creates the feel that you’re floating.


No Sinking In

No Sleeping Hot 

No Off Gassing
