A Mattress for Advanced Fibromyalgia Patients

Hi Pete,I have an advanced case of fibromyalgia.
I’m average size and sleep alone.
I’ve asked sales people to show me soft mattresses.
I can’t find a soft mattress that stays soft for very long.
Before you know it, my fibromyalgia pain flares up and my back starts to hurt. 
There must be a solution and you seem to have an answer for everything. So, what’s your recommendation?
Thanks, Lisa 


Hi Lisa,
Let’s go over some of the basics.
What we all want is the support and comfort that gives us a good night’s sleep. Our purses require a purchase that provides longevity.

Your body has a duality to it…the inside and the outside, to put it simply. The inside, your skeletal system, requires some degree of firm support. To which degree, depends on how much you weigh.

A mattress is a pressure sensitive product. 
The softer it is, the shorter the life span.
Complicating the situation is the abundant use of memory foam.
Memory foam is not only pressure sensitive, it’s also temperature sensitive. As it warms from the body heat you give off, it softens.
Memory foam is not very resistant, so it takes only a short time before you’re sinking too far into it.

Unfortunately, most brands and all of the name brands are using memory foam to upholster their mattresses.
A successful mattress purchase starts with avoiding any mattress upholstered with memory foam.

You can’t just buy a soft mattress. 
Your back requires something firmer…not hard, but firm.
You then soften the surface of that mattress with something softer.
As the years go by, you replace that softer topper without having to buy a new mattress. This procedure is what makes sense…both for addressing your ailments and for preserving your financial health.

My recommendation will come is 2 parts for most people.
For you, because your fibromyalgia is advanced, a 3rd part may be necessary.

First:
The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress in Medium.
The individually pocketed coils provide firm but contouring support, which is designed to maintain the natural alignment of your body and spine, while also reducing pressure on the body at the surface.
Here’s the link to that mattress:

Second:
A Latex for Less 3” Soft Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Mattress Topper. Pure Latex provides the feeling that you’re floating.
What’s more, this quality of latex lasts for many years.
Here’s a link to those toppers:

Third:
For those who suffer with an advanced case of fibromyalgia, the additional PlushBeds Alternative Down Mattress Topper.
This topper provides extraordinary surface softness.
It’s not as long lasting as latex, but much longer lasting than memory foam. I recommend waiting until you have the first two in place before deciding if this is necessary.
Here’s a link to that topper:

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.
Keeping your mattress clean and dry 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.
