I believe a proper mattress is very important for reducing backache, body aches and sleep problems. I used to have backaches a number of years ago when I was forced to do research into mattresses. I realized that spring mattresses create pressure points due to Newton’s third law of action and reaction and not an ideal solution to sleep on. I bought an air mattress in 1998 and never looked back. It is like sleeping on air, the pressure put on you by the mattress is not felt at all.
After I switched to air mattress, I hardly had any back or body ache problems.
My initial purchase was Comfort Air back in 1998.
I bought a Sleep Number mattress from Select Comfort in 2003.
Given a choice, I probably never sleep on any mattress other than an air mattress.
