A Mattress for a 300 Lb. Man with a Very Bad Back.

Hi Pete,

I need a mattress for my husband’s very bad back.

He’s had 3 surgeries, which have not helped.

He weighs more than 300 lbs. and wants something firm.

What do you recommend?

Thanks, Donna

Hi Donna,

It’s a common mistake for a back pain sufferer to assume that a firm mattress is the thing to get.

And while that thinking is correct, in terms of support, the mistake is in making the leap to a hard sleeping surface, which creates pressure point pain at the hips and shoulders.

A hard feeling mattress solves one problem and creates another.

Firm contouring support and a comfortable sleeping surface is the key to getting the quality night’s sleep you’re looking for "

The mattresses that provides long lasting firm support are:

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

Their ultra plush model is the mattress my wife and I sleep on at home. I have a very bad back. Yet this mattress allows me to sleep and wake without back pain.

We had this mattress for 11 years...still like new, with each of use weighing more than 200 pounds.

For your husband’s size we recommend the combination mattress of the Greenspring in Luxury Firm and a 2” Soft Latex Mattress Topper.

Together, they’ll provide the support and comfort he’ll need to sleep deeply and without pain.

The support is quite firm. The coil count is extremely high.

The coils are made of firm heavy gauge, double tempered steel.

These firm individually pocketed coils are the best you can do for a damaged back. Keeping the spine in its proper alignment will relieve chronic back pain.

Here are links to the mattress and topper.
