What's the best mattress for back pain?

Hi davess,

I know some people have concerns about mold and dust mites with solid platforms, so I though that the bed rug might decrease the chances of these becoming issues. Is this not something I should bother worrying about?

You can see my comments about a solid support surface under a mattress (such as plywood or MDF) in post #10 here. While they can add some additional risk, particularly if there are other risk factors involved that could contribute to the formation or mold or mildew in the mattress, in most cases if there aren’t any additional risk factors they would be fine and if the support surface of your platform bed is upholstered then it’s not something that I would have any concerns about.

Also, just FYI, Foam Order seems to have closed their San Francisco location-- they’re still in San Rafael and San Pablo.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve edited the forum lists that included them.
