cornerstonemom Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 My husband has a bad back and cannot sleep on the bed we currently have. It has been about 2 years since we slept together in our room! We were thinking about getting an airbed but they are soooo expensive. The next option is a latex bed (?????) Has anyone heard of this? What do you think of it? We are both getting desperate to find something! Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I know what you're going through. We're happy now with two different twin-sized mattresses on a king-size frame. He tried everything until he found a system that worked for him. We couldn't afford an entire queen- or king-sized mattress that was good for his back, so this has been a great compromise. It turned out to work even better for us, because it allows his mattress to be elevated a bit. He has, I think, a memory foam mattress and uses foam wedges under his knees. Anyway, good luck. It took us a long time to figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LND1218 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 2 xlong twins would be a good idea on a king frame. In fact we slept that way for a long time in our early years. We couldn't afford a king and we don't like sleeping in anything smaller. You had a foam pad over the bed and hardly noticed they were 2 seperate beds.

FriedClams Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am cheap - and I would spend the money we spent on our Tempurpedic any day. It's amazing. I highly recommend you go to a store and try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan25 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 One of the best things that happened during Katrina was the ruining of our bed. We were able to scrimp on other stuff so that we could afford a Sleep Number bed. It is WONDERFUL!!!!! My side is soft, soft, soft and his is about medium firm. So what if we could only afford one bedroom end table and a mostly particleboard dresser. We have a magic bed!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I had horrible back pain for 14 years, and we bought a comforpedic mystere a couple of years ago. It is amazing! I wake up pain free now!! Comforpedic has a latex core, surrounded by memory foam. They are very expensive though (we paid about $3600 for a king). We also did the seperate twin mattresses for awhile, and that did help. If you can't afford a comforpedic, I would look into a temperpedic for your dh, and whatever you like, and go w/ the two twins. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
