Side Sleeper - Low back arthritis, disc, nerve entrapment

Hey Mitchsie.

Welcome to our Mattress Forum. :slight_smile:

Did you have pain on this mattress as well, or was it working for you until the materials started to break down?

I’d suggest reaching out to @Sleep_EZ directly and sharing with them everything you’ve shared here. They’ll be able to guide you towards what they feel may be a best fit for your needs!

You may also find it worth visiting Mattress To Go whose owner Jeff Scheur has a lot of experience with higher BMI sleepers and offers a number of mattresses for consumers experiencing muscle aches and pains.

For someone of your stature, it’s likely a thicker comfort and/or transition layer is going to make a big difference for you here.

There is also more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) that is the best “match” for you in terms of PPP in post #2 here that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for once you actually sleep on your mattress.
