you hit the nail on the head

orthopaedic beds are FRAUD

I never had problem with my back

and then I decided to get an orthopaedic bed

after six months... both my wife and I started having back problems

It took us a while to find out that it was the mattress... well actually, my wife was saying so all the time but I was too lazy to change the mattress and besides it was an orthopaedic mattress people!!... how could it go wrong?!... well anyway...

and this comes from a medical standpoint

the ideal bed for your backbone to get rest would be a foam bed...

it should neither be too soft nor too hard...

its softness gradient should be '30 density'

and it should be 6 inches thick

the easy way to make out if its the right one is that the colour of the foam would be a banana yellow

you might experience a bit of discomfort when you change your mattress but this is just your back bone having to relearn lying on a healthier surface, once you get used to it, you will be much more comfortable in the long run and sleep much better and wake up more refreshed

I was having trouble waking up in time going to the office because I was always tired, but after I got the new mattress, I feel lot less tired in the morning... and I wake up earlier

I got my mattress custom made for me at a mattress factory here in Qatar... I gave them the specifications and hey presto... new mattress... only problem though is that because it came straight off the assembly line I guess, it has a very chemical smell...

mjamille28 I think the orthopaedic mattress is the cause of all this misery!!!

dont be silly, Brit is merely pointing out the fact that you may not get proper sleep alone and need someone to hold you. He is volunteering himself :P

This orthopedic mattresses really hurts your body and sleep...I use soft comforters under the bed sheet which will help a bit..
