ReplyI bought a memory foam bed a couple years ago, it was about a grand. Can't say it's any better than the pillow top I had, I'm still sore all the time.

I recently spent 4 nights in a hotel that had sleep number beds. I didn't much care for it. In fact, one night I ended up sleeping in the chair. Maybe there are different levels of quality in the sleep number line and the hotel bought the cheapest? I bought a Serta something or other and added a 3" memory foam topper. Does well for me and the missus.

it's been on and off like this for a few years. it's starting to make me not want to work. i can't do that. too many people rely on me and i find myself pushing cleanings and bids off.Originally Posted by viceman

A guy told me once to sleep on a sheet of osb for back pain, I never tried it but a sheet of 3/4 is cheaper than a bed lol.

i have heard this too and tried it. no go. my wife had to get me a pain pill before i could get off the floor lol. i guess it depends on the injury.

Ya I'm guessing since you mentioned surgery it's bad. My grandpa has more hardware in his back then lowes, 25 years ago he had a car fall off a hoist and mess him up and there is nothing that works for him.
Professional Member*
wow, he is most likely worse off than me. i am considering another surgery. i think at this point, it can't get much worse. did not want a fusion but it's my only option.
Professional Member*
He's fused up too, I think that was what helped him the most.

I've been sleeping on the same water bed since 1974, not the same mattress. I fill it up past the liner and I've never had it leak. The other thing I like is sleeping on a cool bed in the summer and a nice toasty bed in the winter. They are kinda hard to find these days and I can't fathom why they became unpopular.

For 20 years I slept on a soft side, king size, pillow top, waveless waterbed and I absolutely loved. When I got divorced almost 7 years ago I bought a Sterns and Foster queen set and it's not bad but it was expensive at well over 2K. The drawback to the S&F is it's extremely thick (tall). The mattress is almost 20" thick and the box springs are like 15" and so the bed sets way off the floor. This may be a dis-advantage for some, especially shorter people.
I've slept on the sleep number and helped some friends set one up when they moved. For what it is, basically an inflatable plastic bag, I think it's wildly overpriced.

I also have seen the "sleep number" type knock-offs on eBay and wondered if they were any good. At less than $300 they could be a great alternative. Has anyone been daring enough to try one?
As you can tell, I haven't been daring.

When we can all agree on something maybe we should see about a large volume discount.

Strange that this topic should come up. My wife and I bought the sealy postutepedic when we first married and I thought it was great. 6 years later I'm not feeling so rested anymore, waking up with stiff and sore back. We have been talking about a new bed, but haven't shopped around yet. Sounds like the sleep number gets the votes. Will check it out...
