Hi Pete,
I want to find a good mattress for relieving fibromyalgia pain. I bought a Sleep Number after the salesperson told me it would be good for relieving my fibromyalgia pain. Was I misled! What a joke that was! WORST BED EVER!!!! After reading some of your blog posts, I believe you can help me. I look forward to your recommendation! Thanks, Ursula Hi Ursula, Unusual name! I have a cousin with that name. Everyone calls her Cubby. The problem with your choice in mattress is twofold. The memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that softens as it warms from your body heat, allowing you to sink into a still bag of air. The right bed for you starts with an individually pocketed coil system for contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine, while also relieving pressure points at the hip and shoulder. (Keep in mind that fibromyalgia is a surface condition. You can ignore the fact that the inside of your body requires some degree of firm support. To ignore that for the sake of the softness needed for your fibromyalgia will result in back pain…just making matters worse.) Mattresses like The Williams Kingston Plush and the PlushBeds Luxury Bliss…both are excellent quality, using the aforementioned pocketed coil system and both use Pure, Organic & Hypoallergenic Latex upholstery. And, both are currently on sale. The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress comes with White Glove Delivery, which includes: setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials and removal of your old mattress. The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress comes with ups delivery to the front door, but comes with a 100 Night Trial Period. Here are links to each of those mattresses: The Williams Kingston Plush Mattress https://cc-mattress-llc.square.site/product/kingston-plush/105?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=TBPEGMF6GAOUPNC4SCBQMGLT The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress https://www.plushbeds.com/products/12-luxury-bliss-natural-latex-mattress-with-encased-coils?variant=31705061490786&sscid=71k8_pjs8o&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 While both of the mattresses are comfortable, dealing with fibromyalgia can take the question of comfort to a whole other level. Add a soft mattress topper will, more than likely, be necessary. Soft Latex will provide long lasting additional comfort. The best value in latex toppers comes from Latex for Less. I recommend 3” Soft, and a cover to go with it. Here’s the link for that: Latex for Less Mattress Toppers https://www.latexforless.com/products/latex-topper?variant=134346899481&sscid=71k8_rmsu0&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051 Fibromyalgia tends to be a progressive condition. If your condition worsens or is already far advanced, then a latex topper may not be enough. Under these conditions, you’ll want to include the PlushBeds Alternative Down Mattress Topper. It is incredibly soft…much more durable than real down but not as long lasting as latex. Having a soft latex topper as a base for this topper is still recommended. PlushBeds Alternative Down Mattress Topper https://www.plushbeds.com/products/alternative-down-bed-topper?sscid=71k8_rmssu&utm_source=share-a-sale&utm_campaign=4342051&variant=32001051787362 You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation. Doing so will void the warranty of any mattress. If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height and color. They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed. They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced. Shown here: Magniflex Foundations https://www.themattressexpert.com/foundations_and_bases.html#/ Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials. Keeping your mattress clean and dry and odor free will enhance longevity. The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home. It sleeps cool and works well.
