Anyone own a Back Science mattress? If so, please share your experiences!
I actually just ordered the back science series 3 bed a couple days ago. I kinda ordered it on impulse. Now I trying to find real user reviews to make me feel better about my purchase but reviews for this mattress (outside of the back science website) are far and few in between. I thought I would find more here. Using the search function I think I’ve read every post related to the back science mattress. I think @BillyIdol might be the only person who has purchased and actually commented about the mattress. Yep, “Perfect spinal alignment while laying on a soft cloud.” That sounds encouraging but is there more than one person on this website that owns this mattress and doesn’t work for Back Science? And, I’ve obviously read all the posts made by @BackScience.
I wake up with horrible back pain in the mid/upper lumbar area every morning. It goes away after I get out of bed and move around for about 15 minutes. Not really any back pain all day long until I wake up in pain again the next morning. It’s been going on for over 6 months. I used to be able to sleep 8-9 hours a night but this back pain is my new alarm clock. It forces me out of bed after 6-7 hours. I replaced the foam layers on my current sleep number bed with talalay latex layers. It didn’t help. It doesn’t matter if I adjust the firmness to hard or soft or in between. I used the mattress checker app. It doesn’t look too bad but I rotate between back and side sleeping. I’ve had surgery on both shoulders so a bed that is really firm hurts my shoulders. My wife has hip pain when she sleeps on her side which is her preferred position. I’ve tried other mattresses in my house and nothing helps. This is why I gave up on the problem being the mattress… Until, this past weekend I spend the night at a hotel on a Simmons BeautyRest Plush mattress and was shocked that I woke up 95+% pain free on that mattress. I got so excited that I could sleep without waking up in pain! Hence the impulse buy! Maybe I should’ve just purchased that mattress but somehow stumbled upon Back Science. I do find some comfort in the 365 in home trial…
I don’t own a Back Science mattress but I did some digging on Reddit and feel like these two threads (one and two) speak quite comprehensively to the experience!
I actually started out on Reddit and saw those. I reached out to the couple people that purchased them to see how they like the mattress after using it for awhile. Never heard back. Thanks I appreciate it tho!
I think you will accidentally be delighted with BackScience 3. I have the BS2. The spinal support is out of this world. I think the section where you hips sink in is the most important part of the mattress and that is where BackScience excels. The BS3 is so plush!
I am sort of heavy 235 pounds and 5 11. BS2 is a luxury firm. I think most people will like the BS2 or 3.
The hypergel seems of high quality and is actually quite cool.
I think the idea that “BackScience is only for people with back pain” is totally wrong. Everyone needs lumbar support!
If you found relief in a mass produced plush hotel mattress, I think you will be tickled pink with the BS3.
Well, that’s what I figured… If that was good, surely a “back science” mattress must be better.” I’ve stayed in several hotels over the past 6 months and always woke up with back pain. That’s why I gave up on the idea that my mattress was the problem. I’ve literally woke up with back pain every single day for months with the exception of that one night last weekend. Surely it wasn’t a fluke
I have no idea when I’ll get the mattress. I ordered it on Memorial Day.
Hi, we are on a similar pathway and had been looking seriously at full latex, but also stumbled on this thread- what was your experience with this mattress, how did it turn out? I have been looking for more info about the actual components they are using since the website is a bit vague (like foam density, coil gauge, etc) but might just not have found the details yet.
That is why you are here at the Mattress UnderGround! Try looking here at BackScience Profile and specifications page. We dont always get every minute detail but when we vet a Trusted Member, we do our best!
Best of luck to you and I hope this will answer some questions. If not, you can contact the TM directly for the information.
Thanks, yes and no, I am wanting a long term super supportive mattress and actually came upon this thread as I was perusing the forum, so figured I would look a little more before making my final choice
The backscience is a great mattress with a 30 year warranty. The one thing about them is they are not the type of company that will fight you on true warranty issues. If something is wrong, they actually take care of it. If @BillyIdol bought it and likes it, that is saying something as he is quite discriminating. But at the end of the day, it is all about you and your comfort, and you need to be extremely confident about your choice.
In case anyone is interested I spoke with a sales rep at BackScience and they disclosed that the coils are 15 gauge at 1000 count in a king mattress. Combined with the HD Polyfoam it looks to be a solid build? Haven’t decided yet between this and latex but they are on my short(er) list.
@BillyIdol has a BackScience and was converted to being a BackScience enthusiast. He can fill you in on how he came to purchase his and why he likes it so much.
I have the BackScience 2. Perfect balance between support and pressure relief. Im a 80% back sleeper and 20% side sleeper. All my back problems are gone. No sagging at all with this mattress!!!
My first thought when I tried it was “healthy” and later “laying on a cloud with perfect spine alignment”.
I recommend this mattress to everyone.
While I was at the BackScience showroom, the salesman (Miguel) told me that BS sells 50% of all the mattresses they sell there. There are 60-70 mattresses there. What an endorsement!
I love the Hypergel top layer. It is half way between latex and memory foam.
Sorry it took awhile to respond. Time flies. I guess it’s been almost a year since I’ve been sleeping on the back science series 3 mattress. I do really love the mattress. I’d say it’s taken care of 95% of my back discomfort. I don’t think I can contribute the relief to the mattress alone. I did also purchase a split king adjustable frame. I use that function every night. When I sleep on my side, I have the head of the bed elevated just an inch or two. But when I sleep on my back, which is most of the night, I have my head and feet both elevated about 6 inches. I think the combination of the mattress and ability to elevate head and feet has helped me find positions that get me more comfortable. Unfortunately, it’s not 100% relief. I’d say most mornings I still have just a little bit of ache in my lower back. Enough to often prevent me from sleeping in a little extra on my days off work. But I’ve resolved to thinking this is probably as good as it gets. In all fairness, I have not contacted the back science people for any help or adjustments on the mattress. I can’t think of anything that they could do to make it any better. But who knows maybe I should reach out to them…
