Mattress for heavier person?
| I am heavy - about 250# - and need a mattress that will hold up and help with back problems. My doc says one of the reasons I have trouble losing weight is that I don't get a good night's sleep - I have fibromyalgia and back problems, among other things. So I'd like to replace my mattress with one that will not only hold me comfortably, but hold up so I don't have to replace it too often (I'm on disability and can't afford that!) and is not too expensive for my limited budget. I've been considering Tempurpedic - I've heard it's great for fibromyalgia but want to know if it can handle my current weight. I've also looked into wool but it looks beyond my means. Any suggestions or thoughts? |

I think that you would be best served by finding a bed with good, old fashioned Bonnell coils, heat tempered, heavier gauge wire(12-13 gauge), made the traditional way with an insulator layer to separate the coils from the fluff, a nice layer of cotton batting, and some layer of foam(type depending on your likes)nearer the surface. That will end up being the most comfortable, IMO. I do not believe that Tempurpedic will do it for you. Kait |

| I am 260lbs. The best thing I EVER did was buy a FloBed based on its online advisor. I look forward to going to bed every night. |
