I have waited a while to post this. Last Thanksgiving I had to get a shot and medication for hip pain that went all the way down my leg. I had to do the same thing July 4th weekend when the pain came back but the shot and medication lasted for only a few weeks till the pain came back. I was having problems working in the lawn, walking around in a dept. store for more than 10 or 15 minutes and even sitting long enough to got watch a movie. I got to thinking that my pain might be the result of sleeping on an old mattress, so we went mattress shopping and bought a new one...….. The pain completely went away in about a week. I am 100% convinced that the mattress was the problem. Maybe this can help someone else who is have the same symptoms and is sleeping on and old mattress.

I had back surgery a few years ago at 30 years old, herniated disc with major sciatica. It made all the difference in the world. Well the last couple of months I could feel it coming back just a little at a time. Nothing bad, but I could just tell it was getting aggravated. My wife had also been waking up, body aching, so we finally decided to look at a new mattress. We ordered a mattress in a box, Nectar. Ordered it last Thursday and it arrived Wednesday. Our aches disappeared overnight.
Our old mattress is only 4 years old and I paid $2500 for it. I paid $950 shipped for a King Nectar with two pillows. I highly suggest it!! We require a firm mattress, and if you suffer from any back pain, that’s what you will need too. Firm, with a soft touch!
365 day money back as well. So if it’s not for you in 6 months, call them to return it and they come pick it up from your house.

Old mattresses are terrible. We bought a very expensive mattress in 2005. Slept like a dream for years.
After about 10 years I started having back pain. Replaced it this year when we built the house and back to sleeping pain free again.
Didn’t know they recommend replacing mattresses no more than 8 years apart.

I will second the nectar mattress, we’ve had ours a little over a year and it has been fantastic. It didn’t break the bank when we bought it and shipping was fast.

Most all the mattresses that you buy online have a sleep satisfaction guarantee. It’s kind of a pain to keep swapping but good sleep is important. Most folks will benefit from a firmer mattress than they think.
If your bed partner needs softer and you need firmer, or vice versa, be aware that two Twin XLs are the same width as a King, so you can have your cake and it it too.

Am in need of a very firm mattress, have a Tempurpedic now and it's killing me. Going to look at Texas Mattress Makers as well.

We've had the Temperpedic mattress and spent 3k on it...after about 7 years on it, it started hurting my back and I was sleeping in a dang pot hole in it. Went to Denver matress and pick up a Spring mattress that came highly recommended on the Consumer Reports mag I get monthly. Spent 700$ and now sleep like a baby...good ole medium firmness for me. Best 700$ I"ve spent on a mattress yet. No more Temperpedics for us!
the mattress has something to do with a Dr's recommendation. Can't remember the model though.
