So, Iāve been taking into consideration all the factors that are recommended. I contacted The Mattress Expert (recommended for Philadelphia area) with the following message:
Message: Hi just need help choosing a mattress. Husband(43 years/ 210lbs) suffers from multiple bulging discs in his lower back and I (40 years/150lbs)experience stiffness from neck/shoulder injury. I am tired of mattress shopping in stores and just want to make the best decision with our money.
Thanks, Janet
To which he replied:
Hi Janet,
Best Buyā¦and, our most popular mattress/topper combo.
The Stearns & Foster Heidi in luxury firm with a 2" soft Talalay latex topper.
This combination produces firm, but not hard support that his back needs from a mattress that will support his weight. The 2" soft latex topper provides long term pressure point relief and comfort. Itās a great feeling bed. Here are the links. You can order on line. Delivery is free and thereās no sales tax.

I had read about how the comfort layer of this mattress is not good quality but was wondering if you had any advice to offer concerning best mattresses to alleviate discomfort of bulging discs. Obviously alignment and support is key but The Mattress Expert seemed to think that an all latex mattress would not be the best option but rather purchasing a latex topper on top of a firm mattress.
Just trying to make sense of it all
thanks
