Like many of you Ive been on an epic search for a bed that doesnt kill my aging body. I injured my back (herniated disk) last year, partly because I had a huge sinkhole in my bed. I threw it out and slept on the floor for many months. It worked well, until it didn't. Now I have excruciating joint pain in shoulders/hips - Im sleeping on a foam pad over an airmattress while I try to figure this out and its torture. I alternate between back and side sleeping. What I found after testing beds is what felt the best for the back (a medium- firm latex) crunched my shoulders/ hips when I turned to my side. And what best cushioned shoulders/hips (an Orthogel bed) had a bit of a dip or hammock effect when i turned to my back. It didnt seem to maintain the nice level surface - butt sank down too far (maybe liposuction for that heheh) So... what about a combo of firm latex + the intelli-gel topper (has 2 1/2 inch of gel). I LOVE the idea of being able to adjust it as I go along. And the intelligel sounds pretty good - anyone have any experience with the topper? Wonder how the feel compares with the orthogel I tested (I think that one had 1 3/4" gel + some memory foam) Thanks in advance for any and all feedback! Am so glad I found this - my head was spinning from all the mattress sales-person's contradictory information.
