Both my husband and myself have had back pain after sleeping in our old bed and I also have fairly major back issues. My hips also always hurt in the morning from laying on my side all night because I wasn't able to sleep on my back We decided to try the Tempur-Pedic mattress after several friends recommended it. After the first night, we were hooked. Zero hip pain because my hips were able to sink down to where they needed to be - but still supportive for my spine. I was able to sleep on my back comfortably for the first time in years. My husband woke up with no back pain at all. The best part is when our dogs sneak up onto the bed during the night, or my husband gets up in the night, the bed doesn't move at all. Our next bed will also be a Tempur-pedic!
