Need help!

Hi Teach33,

There isn’t a lot that I know of right in Sacramento but there are some good choices within reasonable driving distance. This thread should help.

You have a particularly challenging set of sleep positions that could be called the “all over the place” position which means that good quality materials that can adjust to changing body profiles as you change position are more important.

In cases like yours … the most effective approach is usually a comfort layer that is the thinnest and firmest layer that will effectively relieve pressure points in the side sleeping position so that you have better spinal alignment in the other sleeping positions … particularly the stomach. A minimalist approach in other words that tends to make choices towards thinner and firmer on top (but not so thin or firm that it doesn’t relieve pressure points) and as firm as possible underneath. A 3" comfort zone in other words would be preferable over 4" (as long as both relieved pressure on the side) and a firmer ILD (say 24 - 28) would be better than softer (lower ILD’s) as long as this too took away any pressure points.

Some initial research on the phone (to see who you best connect with and who is most willing to give you good information including pricing options on the phone without “insisting” that you come in first) will save you a lot of time that would otherwise be spend inside outlets that are more interested in “selling” you than they are “educating” you about the “why” behind the “what”. In most cases … knowing who to trust and where to go to find outlets who really do know the differences between materials and construction methods can be the most important part of shopping for a mattress and can turn what is otherwise a frustrating and confusing experience into an enjoyable one. An outlet like this is well worth some travel time that would otherwise be spend inside a store where even the best options are not great choices.
