Is Your Bed Killing Your Back? Causing your Back Pain or BackAche 

I followed your suggestion of putting the mattress on the floor and I have to say it improved 3x

My memory foam mattress caused me a lot of back pain about a year and a half after buying it. The guest room mattress was the best. It was regular spring mattress with a memory foam topper and felt incredible

HA HA Mattress shopping is the same torture as buying a car

I love the first 5 seconds of this video for some reason. Makes it feel like I’m actually in their offide

This is legit, i love PT for addressing pain. My bed is the most recent source as of recently, just ordered a memory foam topper 🤞 - thanks for the tip about using several pillows and sleeping on your side, going to try that tonight!

I've had a memory foam mattress for about a year and half now. Nothing but back and neck pain from it. I only realised this recently and always thought I was injuring myself at the gym.

I hate my memory foam mattress. I never had so much pain until it.

Thank you Bob and Brad for the research and insights. Understand this first gives an informed decision for all those mattress toppers and "magic" pillows that are out there. Thanks again Bob and Brad. Love following you guys.

THIS! this is exactly how I used to sleep on my couch! Always had the best sleep and best wakeup!

My mom did the plywood trick. It worked for her perfectly.

This video saved my life, thank you

What's your opinion on sleeping on the floor? I just notice that when I do it I wake up more energized and with less lower back pain.

My issue is with upper back pain. It's confusing because some say firm is good for back and others say softer.. I just don't want to spend so much money without knowing which one I need.

I like the other suggestions, but the pillow between the legs doesn't work for me. I've heard it before, but I like to move around a little and if you move around the pillow will come loose. Plus, it just isn't comfortable for me.

This was very very helpful. Thank you.

I recently bought a new king size mattress and my back pain was as bad as ever. We had a house renovation a year ago and our bedroom floor was re-tiled. I had an aha moment and put a long spirit level across and along the mattress in all directions. The bed was a good half inch lower on my half and it sloped slightly from top to bottom. We removed the mattress and checked the frame - same result. I used beer mats to level the bed as best I could and so far we are good to go. I mentioned king size because with a smaller bed the problem should not be as pronounced. Once the bed settles down I'll cut some nice wood to size for a permanent fix.

How interesting! Thanks for this wonderful information!

I gotta Purple #4 Mattress & now I'm beginning to have Upper back pain at the moment

I bought a new bed, best decision ever. After all, my sleep and skeleton deserves it. Very true, sleeping is the way how you replenish yourself.

Ever since my husband and I got a new matress (gifted by inlaws, not our selection) 3 years ago, my mid back has slowly developed pain, located in the mid section. And I started sleeping more on my back, and I think that's because it was way too firm for my shoulders and hips in the middle of the night. 3 years later and that pain has become so severe that it cause rib pain and can make it hard to breath deep in the morning, use the washroom and general movements. It takes an hour in the morning to loosen up my back. Then during the day I'm fine. We have tried a memory foam layer for the past 9 months but my pain hasn't improved. We cant help but feel now it's the mattress so we are shopping but I'm so nervous. Too soft and there is no support. Too firm and I'll get joint pain and feel like a brick when I wake up. Any advice is MUCH appreciated, its wrecking my sleep and my life!

Uhhhh the eggcrate foam definitely puts pressure on my sciatic points BAD. Any bumps or thick seams on the pressure points causes bad sciatica pain for me. My opinion .

I never seem to wake up pain free, cannot tell you how many Beds ,mattresses ,pillows and toppers I've bought, I'm known for it round here, I'm the princess and the pea, Have been reading about slats ,mine are sprung, but seems its best to have solid ones sometimes, so will be changing mine in a couple of days shall update you.

Enjoyed that video cheers guys 👍

Lookimg for kimg size adjustable matress. I have 2 lower back buldging disk. I still workout and do jujitsu but need a good adjustable bed and matress. Dont kbow which one to buy😢 Still debating if I should get the 2 piece ir just one?

is hard surface best for sleeping?

Terrible terrible middle back pain -only upon waking!! it’s frustrating to waste mornings suffering -it completely dissipates by late morning Thank GOD but it must be mattress?!

I’mma try this out, because my mattress is worn out and I sleep on my stomach! 😭

Thanks for the comments on memory foam mattresses and how you hate them. I need to buy a mattress to eliminate back pain. Internet recommends memory foam. I think I need extra firm.

I bought a memory foam mattress. Been sleeping on it for a month. I feel like I"ve been in a car accident. Slept 2 nights in a different bed in my house and so far less issues. The memory foam makes me feel like I"m in quick sand and it's difficult to turn & get out of. Would the plywood between the box springs and mattress help this? I've been looking for days online and haven't found a solution. I'm desperate.

Sleeping over the last 2 years for me has been awful. bought a new mattress and it helped, for 4 weeks before the mattress failed. Got it exchanged. same thing a few weeks later. Im scared to buy another costly mattress that may fail and stress me out. Seems like everything made post pandemic is absolute garbage

I'm struggling with upper back pain alot

@Bob and Brad How can I convince my parents that the mattress I’m sleeping in isn’t suitable for me? I go through countless nights with bad sleeping. My lower back and my flutes literally sink in from the rest of my body causing my lower back to be out of alinement with the rest of my body causing stiffness and pain in my lower back. Even when I use the pillow method my lower back sinks in from the rest of my body putting pressure in that specific area. The good beds I slept on kept my lower back up which allowed me to sleep good without any stiffness or pain. But it’s hard to convince my parents because they don’t understand.

Bought a cheap memory foam from internet nearly destroyed my back.

My bed is terrible.The mattress is blown. I put boards on top the box springs, it worked for a min. I got the extra 3 inch foam thingy …I’m 45 and I feel like I’m 85. Every morning I ache like a mofo. I can hardly hobble to the bathroom. Top it off I injured my Achilles’ tendon, developed bone spur on the back of my heel right over the bursa sac. It hurts all of the time, except when Im off of my feet laying on the couch or bed - for the record they both suck so bad. I’m in dire need of new furniture, it’s brutal on a person’s body .. my question is can shitty furniture be the cause of my daily and nightly body pain? I feel like I can’t get time to heel. However I didn’t hurt this much like 5yrs ago, but starting about 2020 I have had ongoing body pain. I lost 37lbs and have 40 to go, but I thought I would have felt better since dropping some weight,. Nope. I’m hurting now as I type this. I’m sitting outside in a metal patio furniture type cushioned chair .

My mattress is done, but the new mattress won't arrive for another week or two. I can't go with no sleep for another week. Ugh.

DIY Latex Mattress, RU-vid it. The best of all.

Very helpful and very timely. The Mrs and I are mattress shopping right now! Thanks.

very helpful info. thank you.

Just bought a new mattress today and it’s too hard - my old mattress is too soft - I can never win

Informative video. Can i refer you to a new chiropractic directory to publish your video? No charge

Check out the skeleton in the background. So cute.

My bed is over 30 year's old, could this be why I have weak groin and weak lower back muscles and pain? My PCP said to take Tylenol and get rid of that bed, but didn't give me a script for a MRI, my lower back and hip (right) and groin muscles hurt!

What kind of mattress do u recommend for someone with upper middle back pain and that is plus size??

Love your guys' videos. I can't decide if I should get a medium-firm mattress or a firm mattress. I have a tuft and needle medium-firm mattress right now, but I feel like I need something more firm. I usually lie on my side with a body pillow. I have spondylolisthesis and am only 145 pounds, and I've read that a firm mattress is usually recommended for people over 250 pounds. Would like to hear your guys's recommendations. Also, is foam better than air, or visa versa? I like the idea of an adjustable air style mattress. Thanks

I sleep on my side, leg strait and my mattress is like a rock....back still hurts, wakes me up most nights. I'll have to try the pillow between the knees.

My mattress is way too firm. It’s painful after a c section.

pls learn spinal care mattress ,that is headraising mattress !

What if you have a pillow top mattress? I’ve had one for about 5 years I believe now but I can’t afford a new bed yet and have been waking up with real bad back pain and sciatic has been bothering me for a long time now

You guys need to work on better audio quality. The sound is horrible

1:22 ahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

I just purchased a new Mattress and it’s a little to firm for me..... What can I purchase to soften it up some??? And also I’m a Stomach sleeper and wanted to know what kind of pillows do you recommend for a stomach sleeper because I have back and neck pain

What's your opinion of memory foam mattress toppers?

Well for me. I know all of this and I am confused. I cannot tell. My mattress is a firm mattress, does have a slight dent indentation and I find my self moving to the middle just to see. I have a topper on it now and it still hurts, and then added another. I think it helped. I can't tell if my back ache, is the bed too soft or too hard? I have done the plywood in the past. lol My mattress has no box springs but a lift platform which is wood. Help

Thank you for good advice!! 🛏🛏🛌🛌

I just purchased a mattress topper and it's about 4 inches thick. I have it on my bed for 2 weeks now and I noticed I am getting some back pain. Is it the mattress topper? How can I fix or adjust the topper?

Hi where can i get this nd wht do you call it?

My girlfriend has a bad back and she complains about my bed when she comes over. I think my bed is fine and I have no issues and she does. Why is that? Also, it is strange because her bed at home is not the greatest but she sleeps well.

I have changed 3 mattress already... A full foam,a firm mattress with coils and a latex mattress with individual coils...and my back is still killing me...maybe i need to change the base?... Since its not a solid base but metal things going across from left to right and they do leave a small gap in between.. Not sure anymore sometimes i cant even bend my back and as soon as it comes it goes away

Haha, wore out the matters

Our mattress is getting old and saggy, and causing us to toss and turn. My husband just took out the useless box springs and made a platform out of wood. We might try the eggcrate, but we basically need a new mattress.

What's best. Memory foam or standard mattress?

love these guys but I just don't get their views they don't correlate with their subscribers of 4.3 million

I got wake fit memory foam mattress... It's killing my back... How to prevent backpain... Pls can anyone suggest some ideas?

Is a hard mattress better than a soft mattress?

Hamock

Putting a wood under your bed is NOT a GOOD FIX don't do it

books & money but no heart & inteligence 😭🤤

enjoy the mildly homophobic interaction at 1:18. wow.
