swimmers & mattresses/chairs with good back support
Former Member
Regular swimmers are supposed to have good posture. Does that make it less important for swimmers to use mattresses and chairs with good back support to avoid back pain/injuries? (as an exaggeration, if you do backstroke 4 hours a day, you are on a high-quality "mattress" 4 hours a day:bed: and methinks it's unlikely you would develop back problem due to bad mattress :D)
Well, I bought a tempurpedic and it was easily the best 2500 I ever spent. I had to finance it, but it was worth it. My back and neck never hurt when I wake up no matter what position I sleep in. The sleep warm, so that is something to consider. They also come in different densities and firmness levels, so take your time picking it out.
We have been using a memory foam mattress topper that we bought at Costco. Although our mattress is a good one and is still in fine shape, we purchased it 8 years ago, before the pillow top option was available. So, adding the topper seemed like a good idea. It IS comfortable, but does anybody know whether this combo works as well as the full memory foam mattress, such as the Tempurpedic? We have our mattress and topper on top of a platform, rather than box spring.
