Remedy for an Aching Back
If you are anything like me, chances are you dont get much of a good night sleep after you past 35 or so. Well I have an uncle who owns a mattress store. All my life I can remember him telling me, is that the best things to spend your money on, is on your shoes and your bed.
If you dont know why, its because you spend all day in your shoes, and you spend a third of your life in your bed. So having a good mattress would obviously help with a good nights sleep. In turn a good night sleep solves all kinds of problems. When I wake up in a bad mood, the whole world around me suffers.
So anyways, growing up I was always given hand me down beds and it has never bothered me. Even when I got married I slept on a bed that was given to us and did so for the first few years of marriage. A few years into our marriage we decided we needed a bigger bed, this didnt mean a more expensive bed, just bigger! We both were at the point that we need a little more room.
So we spent a few hundred dollars and moved up to a queen size bed from a full. Wow, what a difference in room! It was nice for the first few months, but we quickly noticed that the bed was sagging and pits or low spots were developing where we slept. We attempted to rotate the bed often but it didnt seem to help.
At this point I broke down and decided I would be willing to spend a bit of money If I could really find a bed I liked. For the first time I was going to shop in my uncles mattress store. He showed me around to his top 5 beds and I was in love. I tried some latex beds and some pocketed coil beds as well. After about 3 days of consideration, we settled on a visco elastic foam mattress a little out of our price range. I didnt care, it was so comfortable that I had to have it. Well Im glad we got it, I sleep better than I have ever slept my entire life and I wake up with more energy than ever before.
My back, especially my lower back, feels really good and I seem to fall asleep much quicker than before. Visco mattresses take a little time to warm up to your body heat, but when they do its fantastic. You feel yourself sink a little, almost like mud. I heard our sales rep refer to visco as a feeling almost muddy. Well anyways thats my bed story and If you are looking for a bed to soothe an aching back, I highly suggest a visco bed.
