Hi Pete,
My husband and I have been sleeping on a water bed for the past 30 plus years.
It is a high quality waveless waterbed, and we just love it.
My husband had some back surgery and the doctor told us we need to loose the waterbed and get a good regular mattress.
We were told to get a good bed with adequate back support.
We are both in our mid to late 50’s I weigh approx 210 and the husband is around 230.
We need something that we only have to buy once.
Can you tell me what the best bed there is that will meet our needs that won’t sag or sleep hot?
I like to sleep on my back and stomach, but do sleep on my side sometimes.
My husband is a side sleeper, but after the surgery he will be sleeping on his back.
We’ve been to a few stores in the area and the sales people always steer us to the memory foam beds.
But I am not convinced that is what we need or want.
Your thoughts?
Thanks, June
Hello,
Unless you’re planning on checking out at an early age, doing this only once is an unrealistic expectation.
Forget about what you’ve been told. A memory foam mattress will cause your husband nothing but additional back pain.
The strongest regular production innerspring mattresses are the Simmons Black models.
My wife and I, who are each heavier than the two of you, have home tested a Black Beautyrest with a latex topper.
The pre-compressed, individually pocketed coils will provide upward contouring support, which is what your backs require.
It’s far better and stronger than what a water bed provides, but similar, in that the support will contour to you.
Having spent 30 years on that water bed, it would be a mistake to get something that is too rigid.
It would be too much difference than what your bodies are used to.
Using a removable latex topper will aid in your hopes for greater longevity.
Latex is extremely resilient and will absorb most of your body weight…leaving the mattress with far less work.
This will extend the life of the mattress for many more years than the manufacturer intended.
For your needs, I recommend the Pure Bliss 2″ Plush Talalay Latex Topper to go on the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm Mattress.
Here are those links.
