Honestly, it's easier to buy a new car or a house than it is to buy a new mattress. We have shopped to exhaustion. I even tried to look up info online but that just made it even harder to pick one.
My husband and I settled on one of the Ortho brand back supporter pillow top kind with this new memory foam. It's made by Ortho Mattress, Inc. and sold only in their own stores.
It felt fine in the store but now that we got one home, it is way to firm and I am struggling with some increased body pain. Of course it was expensive ($1,400.00 on sale). The cheaper one's seemed worse...
We almost bought a Sealy posturpedic but that seemed to soft and took around 28 days to deliver so my husband canceled the order.....
Is there a brand out there that really helps?

Try and find a firm mattress with a double pillow (on the top and bottom). The support is great, but not too much, and the pillow top gives you that added comfort. Any of these brands make quality mattresses:
Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Simmons, Serta, TempurPedic & Bassett
I agree about the memory foam...way too uncomfortable.

I am having the same problem. We are in the market for a new mattress. I am looking at either the Swedish Tempur-pedic mattress or the Sleep number bed. I hear either one of those beds are the way to go for back pain!

My husband and I also have arthritis and I have a pinched nerve at L5. Our tempurpedic mattress is so comfortable and has helped us to rest.
