After struggling and struggling with various ways of changing the zones of my component style HR foam and latex and memory foam mattress, I decided just on a hunch to try NOT zoning. So I tried a couple combinations of that and didn't find much improvement but felt that there was potential. So I kept experimenting. And finally I found what worked, which was getting rid of the zones and using the following combinations of foam layers. Zoning sure sounds great in theory but for whatever reason (maybe I just never got it "right", though I did try most EVERY combination I could think of, took photos of the alignment of my spine laying on it, etc.) it didn't work for me. So what finally seems to be working is this: From the top to the bottom: Cuddlebed topper 2 x 3/4 latex toppers (maybe 20ILD?) 1" of HR foam - medium 1" of HR foam - firm 2 x 1/2" of HR foam Extra Firm Sealy Fenway springs ALSO, and this I think is key: I started doing these yoga exercises at night and in the morning: the Cat and the Cow. If you don't know what those are, and want to know, I'll explain. |

I like it and sometimes it helps. But sometimes it doesn't. I bought the book on Trigger Point Therapy too but you almost have to be a body worker student to really understand and have a feel for the trigger points - there are so many. I do use it though. And some day I hope to be able to afford a Trigger Point therapist. I'm not sure it will work - thus my reluctance to spend the money now - but I am hopeful. |

So what is the cat and cow? Stretching out the back I guess. How is the zoning working for you now? |
