I used always have a sore back from carrying 50+lbs all the time from calls or training. I went to the chiropractor once a week and he recommended going with a posturpedic bed. Now I'll be sending him a Christmas card so I won't see him as often. At first it was a little firm and I didn't quite like it at first. Then it actually conforms to your body. In the winter it's a little bit firmer but that's because of the foam topper. This bed has done wonders to my health and hope it does so to you.
