Hi,
We are looking for any recommendations for a new queen size bed/mattress in the Toronto, Canada region. This bed would be for an older (75+) female (5’ 10" or 1.8m tall) back-sleeper, weighing about 190 lbs. (80 kg.) with lower lumbar back pain.
We’ve tried a ‘firm’ TempurPedic’ in the past (bought from a major retail store (S…s)), but this turned out to be the worst bed ever, as the foam would soften while sleeping, and end up being too soft (thereby causing even worse lower back pain in the morning). And prior to this mattress, the ‘S’ (‘pillowtop’) mattress also didn’t fare much better, lasting for only about 4 years before ‘sagging’ out in the middle. These bad experiences are contrasted with an even earlier ‘coil’ mattress, having no fancy gimmicks, which lasted for 20+ years.
Any suggestions as to what type of bed/construction would be most suitable? We don’t trust the ‘memory foam’ anymore, and are especially worried about being ‘burned’ again by a bad co$tly bed/purchase (and the disturbing short life span that beds seem to have these days).
Kudos for this website and administrator/founder, where we’re now trying to devour the incredibly HUGE amount of wisdom and knowledge here!! I wish I had known about this site years ago …
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Michael
