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)
According to the mattress store people (let me preface this by saying I do not trust mattress salesmen/woman at all), the tempurpedic foam is patented and the knock off brand and toppers are not made out of the same material. They say that after 6 months to a year the fake tempur foam begins to crush and therefore becomes less effective (I guess it loses its memory- hah). They recommend either buying the real tempurpedic or otherwise a regular mattress because the fake ones do not hold up. I'm not sure however how this translates into the comparison of comfort level and the ergonomics of it all.
Thank, Eric; I appreciate the info.!
