My Wife currently pregnant and in search of the best mattress for her changing body. Comfort and support are really important to me, especially with the extra weight and pressure on my back and hips. I’d love to hear recommendations from others on which types of mattresses are ideal during pregnancy. Should I be looking for a specific firmness level, materials (like memory foam or latex), or certain features like pressure relief and cooling? If you’ve been pregnant, what type of mattress worked best for you in terms of comfort, support, and helping with aches and pains? Any specific brands or models you’d suggest?
First, congratulations and well wishes for the upcoming pregnancy and beyond! You are correct that with pregnancy comes changing body responses that will create different needs at different stages. This starts with heat regulation and when she is continually forced on her left side during the later stages (as is often the case) it will be important to provide pressure relief, while reducing the pressure point pain that the extra weight will cause, without losing the support needed to keep the spine in proper alignment.
As a doctor of Chiropractic and mattress designer, I have had the unique position of working directly with both customers and patients to find solutions over the 20+ years I have been developing mattresses and I would highly recommend you take a look at the Back Science mattress (www.BackScience.com). Back Science, will offer both of you a very pressure relieving Hypergel pressure reducing comfort layer system that also retains your spinal alignment through use of a patent pending Lumbar-Flex zoned lumbar support for your low back and over 1000 count individually wrapped steel coils underneath.
It has a feel that is somewhere between memory foam and latex, so it will contour the bumps and curves of your body better than latex, but unlike memory foam, it gives you a buoyant springy support. Additionally, Back Science has a patented Airflow Transfer System that uses thousands of small surface ventilated small surface holes that combine with open air channels to allow for air flow circulation that makes the mattress up to 100Xs more breathable and therefore give you a more regulated body temperature throughout the night. In a customer recent survey by TrustPilot, 96% of our customers reported sleeping cooler on Back Science than their last mattress.
Most importantly, Back Science uses our GripLock modular cover system that allow for us to adjust the firmness of the mattress, as well as overall comfort and support and there is no cost to so over the 365-night trial. We even offer free exchanges to a different model or different brand all together, since we want you to feel comfortable that you will get the right mattress to suit your needs.
There are three Back Science models and you can take the quiz on the site find out which Back Science mattress may be right for you both, but you can also feel free to contact one of our sleep experts by emailing or calling us at 800 667-1969. I am also available to answer more questions from this forum. If you do purchase a Back Science mattress, be sure to use this extra 10% code we give Mattress Underground members: TMU10.
