My sister who just had lower back surgery a few months ago was directed by a cousin of mine to purchase a latex mattress.  She went out and ordered a latex mattress and came in and she slept fine on it for the first two months.  When my mom stopped helping her with making her full size bed she threw her back out on trying to lift it to put the fitted sheets on.  She is now in traction and awaiting her next back surgery in the hospital and needs us to replace her mattress cause she wants her latex mattress gone by the time she gets back.  Has anyone else had this problem and if latex is so good for you, why would anyone purchase one of these mattresses if they would do this to your body just changing the bed sheets?  It just seems dangerous to me!

 

Thoughts and comments on this would be appreciated.  I do have a good idea on replaceing her mattress so don't need suggestions for that part.
