 Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:19 am Post subject: WHAT TYPE OF MATTRESS DO YOU USE? |
 |
|
| As you may have guessed from all my posts I am a LARGE guy; not tall just LARGE. My problem is from the many years in the used auto parts business lifting doors, transmissions and motors etc. my back is shot. Just wondering what kind of a new mattress to buy. CONVENTIONAL; ONE OF THOSE FOAM MATTRESSES; or the one that is filled with air (sleep number I think). Any imput would be appreciated its kind of lame sleeping in a recliner. thanks just wondering what kind you guys use and what you LIKE or don't LIKE about them. cmorjoe |

| When not falling asleep on the boat ,try placing plywood between the mattress and boxspring before u spend 400 or 500 on a new mattress. |

Try out Temperpedic memory foam... I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for... Go try some out at the mattress store... It does make sense to spend the money on a mattress that will give you a good night sleep...

There are way too many fish to catch in the summer to worry about sleeping  . How about not worryng about sleep...We will all sleep plenty...when its time for the old dirt nap .

a have some friends that have the 'bob o pedic' and love it. They do say it takes atleast a week to start getting used to it and being able to get a good night sleep out of it.
I just bought a sealy pillow top about a year ago, also have some back problems. It's been good to me, but i still move too much at night, which i guess the memory foam beds would help. |
