We bought a Sealy True Foam ( 11") Theurapetic mattress about 2 months ago, pretty much because of my back pain, and for the first weeks we though it still hurts because I needed to adapt to the new mattress but, instead, I got worse and also my husbund start having back pain too! So, we'll try to take it back and possibly exchange it with another one, but I don't know which one!?Should we go with another foam one, maybe a firmer one or ....what kind?! Thanks!

Sealy True Foam ( 11") Theurapetic mattress . .
1.5" layer of convoluted memory foam for added comfort
3.5" memory foam core 5lb Density
6" high-density foam layer
Mattress selection is a trial and error process . . only YOU can determine what works and what doesn't. Have you tried flipping the mattress over and sleeping on the firmer bottom side?
Consider a firm innerspring model and add your own 3" talalay latex topper and wool fleece pad.

The reason for all this controversy is that sleep quality and comfort are so darn subjective. When buying a mattress, the most important consideration is probably personal comfort. In fact, some people argue that if something else besides a mattress proves more comfortable to sleep on, we should go for it. Replace a mattress approximately every eight years. Keep it longer than that, and the materials might start to degrade, which might make the mattress less comfortable to sleep on. If you're waking up in pain every day, sleeping poorly or feeling disgruntled all the time, consider upgrading sooner.

I have just been out to buy a new mattress for my bed. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibro, Lupus and a prolapsed disc as well as a Scoliosis, so very important I get this right. I walk into the shop, I start with the first bed, get on it, flat on back turn twist check to see if any part on my back is not on the mattress. Then I move on through the beds and Mattresses. I have ended up buy probably the cheapest, but medium firm, nothing special. However what is special is the mattress topper, the nice soft part I place over my mattress. The two combined, perfect. You need to sample each mattress, both of you and do not be afraid to hop on in and spend hours sampling them all. However do try and get a mattress overlay, egg crate, memory foam or the one I have Pro Pad that they use in Hospitals for long stay bed ridden Patients. If it works for them, chances are it will work for you.

The only way to know which mattress to buy is to try them out in the store or ask the orthopedic doc who is treating your back pain which mattress he/she recommends. Trying them out is the best way to go but you should also check with the ortho doc who handles you back pain what they recommend. If you are not seeing an ortho doc then that is the first thing you need to do as you have to find out what is causing your back pain so you can get it treated and taken care of. A new mattress is not going to help your back pain if you don't know what is causing it.
