After a month, I can honestly say, I am so glad we invested in our own health and well-being. The mattress has changed our lives. I know it sounds a little bit much to say, but let me explain. I am a certified chiropractic assistant and have been for 20 years. About ten years ago, I broke my back in a fall. I shattered my L5 disc. I suffer from periodic episodes of low back pain, sciatica, and groin pain. An adjustment along with therapy usually relieves the pain. This may explain why I was so fussy about what I slept on.
I was told a firm mattress was the best idea for someone like me. I believed this and purchased a firm mattress for about $900. It was ok and seemed to be acceptable for about 5 years. Recently, I noticed my adjustments were becoming more frequent and I was waking up like someone had slept on top of me. My sleep was not a restful one. I found myself tossing and flipping because of uncomfortable aches. I decided it was time to purchase something to sleep on that helped.
I had already tried a waterbed and that was ok but also not very comfortable. So I decided to ask my patients what they found to be the best. I was particularly interested in one of my patients who had suffered a serious car accident injury in both his low back and neck. He had remarked to me that he had finally found the answer to a peaceful night's sleep. He suggested Kingsdown. He swore that it was well worth the extra cost. he was seeing us for therapy and adjustments on a regular basis at least three times a week for three years, when we lost touch and we hadn't seen him now for over two years. He attributed this to his purchase of his new mattress.
I questioned another patient who decided while she was pregnant that she needed something that could offer her and her temporarily misshapen body some support. She also raved about Kingsdown. I decided I would investigate this for myself.
I must admit I was skeptical. I had always thought "FIRM" was the buzz word. Now, and it makes perfect sense . . . I find that I am being totally cradled in a softer more body confirming mattress that affords me the best night's sleep I have ever had!!! I cannot believe that this mattress feels like. I fall asleep faster and do not feel that I am waking and tossing. I don't have the pressure that I had before by sleeping on a rock hard mattress. I am supported but much more than that I feel actually surrounded by my mattress instead of sleeping ON the mattress I am sleeping IN the mattress! I wake up without the aches and pains too!! Our ONLY regret is . . . we don't have a Kingsdown for our vacation home. I hate going for the weekends to our Cape May house only because it has a "Regular" mattress and not a Kingsdown . . . but we are working on that. It was well worth the money. I can't thank you enough. It is a great mattress that has to be experienced to appreciate. Even my husband, who can sleep standing up, admits it is really a luxury sleep.
