which mattress is best for someone with severe back pain???

Question

i have been sleeping on my couch for 2 years because i can not find a mattress that i can sleep on. is there a mattress than can help people with severe back problems and back pain.

Answer 1

I have heard some people with back pains who spout praises regarding the memory foam mattresses. Their exuberant high ratings are mostly anecdotal, and these mattresses are quite expensive. If I were the person with the backpain, I'd buy one on the condition that if I am not happy with it, I will be able to return it.

Answer 2

Bragada mattress is the leading manufacturer of viscoelastic mattresses. They are the only mattress manufacturers to get the Orthopaedic Research Institute's Seal of Approval. They manufacture a wide variety of mattresses and you can buy them online.

The mattress provides the best comfort to the spine and protects the nervous system. The spine should be rested while sleeping so that the body functions properly.

Answer 3

I have the best mattress there is for back pain. Go to Select Comfort. They are pricey but they will last a life time. Usually mattresses only last for 20 years but these mattresses are air mattresses and are better. They have stores around the country I think but go to selectcomfort.com. It will amaze you. I really like mine and they are really warm. Get one soon.
Happy Sleeping!!

It is less a matter of which mattress (also long as there is support) as taking care of the cause of the problem.
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 5

Buy a theraputic back mattress , and ask your chiropractor or doctor what types are the best for your severe back pains. Everyone adjust differently according to the types theraputic beds sold, some works and some don't. Beware of the scammers in the bed business.

Answer 6

Yes you can get chyropractic matresses, and although they can be very expsensive, u cant put a price on your health. Even your local mattress store should be able to advise you on which mattress would be best. You could even try a magnetic underlay - Ive heard they work wonders

Answer 7

darn... i forgot the name, but theres a mattress out there made of memory foam that forms to your body as you lay on it. It works a lot better than regular mattresses and is a lot more soothing than those metal springs in regular mattresses! I will respond again when i think of the name!!! TEMPER-PEDIC!!!!!

My daughter and my best friend both say that the memory foam is the best. Make sure that you take enough magnesium, too. It can help with spasms.
