Not a week goes by where a patient asks me "What type of mattress do you recommend?" I am solicited at least once a month from mattress manufacturers to promote their products. I have seen it all. Everything from NASA foam to air mattresses. From my experience, I have found that a firm mattress is what we all need. That's right, a firm mattress. Our spine has 3 natural curves (2 lordotic and 1 kyphotic) and the best thing to support these is a firm mattress. I know what you're thinking, "My spouse likes a firm mattress, but I don't". Then the best thing to do is to purchase a firm mattress and add a pillow top (at least 1 inch) to soften up the top layer, but maintain firm stability underneath.
FYI, Sam's Club and Costco have great mattresses at great prices....
