For the heavier guys here with back issues

[Irongrip400]

What's the best mattress? I have a kingsdown and a tempurpedic that I bought, and neither are doing my back any good. Any of you guys with lower back issues find a mattress that lets you have a great night sleep?

[MORTALCOIL]

Tempur.

P.S: the site has been so flooded with racist shit that I first read "black issues".

I have had 5 major back surgeries and over 40 injections. They will not even touch it any more. They consider me a casualty case. I just bought my 2nd Serta iComfort mattress with adjustable base. I lost the first one in the divorce. I got the new Blue Max 5000 Elite. They are not cheap but damn, what a sweet mattress. I highly recommend it. At least check it out . I was averaging 2-4 hours of sleep in many segments prior. Now I average 5-8 non stop deep sleep. Good luck!

I have 2 degenerative disk diseases and over 3/4ths of my spine is deteriorated. I have 2 fusions and 3 other surgeries. I am 58 and I was diagnosed with the first degenerative disease at 24 yrs old. I finally decided to suck it up and start lifting in my mid 30's. I was already genetically bigger than most muscularly and responded to lifting very well. So I got hooked. I had my first fusion at 40 and my second at 46. I lifted heavy before my fusions and after healing from them. But after the 2nd fusions the pain was unbearable and went through 3 more surgeries and over 40 injections to try and get relief. The injections did not help and the pain keeps worsening through the years. I want to lift so bad but each time I do I end up laid up for several days. Of course years of heavy lifting and not using common sense made matters worse. But I am never going to lose hope. Thanks for asking.

I don't care what it cost as long as it was comfortable. I have a custom bed with drawers on it and it doesn't have a box spring so I am not sure if that has much to do with it. I sleep on the other one occasionally and it's not too much better. Both mattresses were over $2,500 so I'd hate to throw the money away. Do any have a money back or return policy, other than that crap Mike and Mike used to sell on their radio show?

No to go off topic here but perhaps helpful.

How many sets/reps?

[The Keto Kid]

Sleep on the floor, I never had any huge back issues, but when I was younger had  lower back  soreness due to heavy bent over rows, anyway one night went out got wasted, and when I got home passed out on the ground, when I woke up I felt like a million bucks, no back issues at all. From that day on I sleep on the ground unless, I have a girl over, but even the matress I  bought is very thin and hard  Also, buy a reverse hyper machine made by Lou Simmons of Westside barbell or find a chiropractor that has machine at their practice.

yeah but 370 is a lot no matter what

[Marty Champions]

I have no back issues...and I have only slept as an adult on a Japanese futon...The only downside is having to have a bed for sex only.

[oldtimer1]

Thought I was bullet proof until I got into my 50's and both shoulders started to give me aggravation. I still think my back is bullet proof. Maybe that will be different in my 60's at some point. I always thought the combo of power cleans, deadlifts, weighted back extensions, and semi stiff deadlifts off a block contributed to my healthy lower back.

[phreak]

I'll second the floor/futon option. Over the years my mattress has been getting thinner and thinner, and when I nap during the day it's directly on the floor. Having to sleep in hotels I often find their beds much too soft, so I sleep on the floor in hotels too, just on a duvet spread out.

Only thing I need is a thin but stiff pillow, or a makeshift neck roll from a large towel.

FYI: it did hurt my shoulders and hips initially, by stretching them out to what should be their natural position. Start slow, even 30 min. before sleeping in a real bed worked for me. Then just build from there
