I have changed 3 queen size mattresses in less than 2 months. They are all not comfortable and cause my back pain. I wonder how to choose a good mattress. The 1st mattress is too firm, and 2nd one is cheap and lack support. 3rd one is of good price and appears to have good support and soft, but after 2 weeks, I started to feel back pain. It seems still lack good support that cause my back and hip pain. I am 6'1 and 170 pds. I wonder how to choose a good mattress. Thanks for your opinion. York |

Hi York, Do you shop in Canada ? If yes, which province ? Thanks David |

York, Any idea the type of foam that is used in these mattresses? From the sounds of it, it is not the correct comfort style for you. If its convoluted foam, try and set the bar at 1.6 or higher. The higher the density, the less air in the foam= more durability. As far as the coils go, don't get wrapped up in coil counts. Focus on the type of coils (at least 6" pocketed if possible) and the gauge. A 15 gauge or lower pocketed coil is usually sufficient for the support system depending on how heavy you are. Good luck with your search. If possible stay away from national retailers and look for a factory direct store that's near you. You'll probably save 50% and the quality will be much better. |
Hi York,
Can you provide a little more information about the beds you did not like? Information that is useful like which brands you bought and coil counts really helps spell out what kind of recommendation would give you the most benefit. And how long have you tried each mattress? I can make a few recommendations based on your feedback of them.

Hi Andrew, The 1st mattress I tried for a week and is too firm and feel too hard. It might use thick coils but I am not sure the coil count. The 2nd one is lack support and I feel pain only after 2 nights of sleep. It seems using thin and weak coils. The 3rd one is most expensive of all three. It has lot of foam and feels soft, and seems using good coils but too less. The 1st week was fine, but after that it got sagged in my back and hip. It looks like that it can not provide support for my entire body and I feel pain and can not get good sleep. All mattresses are below $750. So price may be the reason for poor quality.
