My husband and I are in our late 50's.  He is 5'9", 165lb and I am 5'4", 144lb.  He is a side and stomach sleeper who can sleep on any mattress.  I am mostly a side-sleeper, and I have what's known as ilio-tibial band syndrome in my left leg (pain in outer thigh), plus maybe a bit of arthritis in my right shoulder.  So, left leg and right shoulder pain,  and I toss from side to side all night long.  I think I need a mattress which will not affect the tender areas, but one with good support. Anybody have any ideas, thoughts or theories about what might be the best mattress?  I have looked and tried out mattresses high and low.
