I didnt switch it when i got it and am lead to believe i therefore have the soft side up, right?

Assuming so, has anyone flipped it and if so was it noticeably firmer?  too much?  etc?

thanks!




(i now have a one inch foam, sensus/overstock-pink on there and i am experiencing slight low back issues, not bad yet but thinking maybe firmer but dont know)

6 hours of sleep without waking; are you bleeping kidding me, you are complaining???? I would give my last dollar for 6 hours of blissful sleep without waking in pain after 2-3 hours.

I am side sleeper and my current mattress is killing me . My relatives think low back pain is all in my head and that I am exaggerating it but it is killing me and they treat me with contempt, disgust and cuss words like I am good for nothing. Life is hell.

Leo3, you changed my life! That piece on mystery hip pain really brought it together for me. As soon as I made a few simple changes I began to feel better. I am deeply humbled by this and so very grateful for all that I've learned here. I am making my own toilet seat and have found numerous posts asking where to buy a flat seat. They are not to be found because there are none. I'm using a 5/8 inch plywood, oh, it's gonna be a beauty!

lowbackpain, my heart goes out to you. Have you tried compression? Bed, Bath and Beyond sells those do-it-yourself dealy-ohs that they show on TV. You lie down and put your legs over it and it stretchs you and your spine out. At least that's the thought. Then there are the blue Mircle Balls, you can Google them. Also stretches your muscles, elongates them. I'm sure you've tried just about everything. The gal that sells the Blue Balls healed herself with these balls. I like them.

I can't report on my bed because it's not "there" yet but when I get there I'll be sure to post it.

That tip, Leo3, again, thank you a million times over. Did I tell you it came for my BD!
