Question
Hi i am in need of a new mattress, I have had back problems for a while, but latley they seem to have gotten worse and I think it could probally be due to my old worn out mattress. I also do a lot of heavy lifting at work for 10-14 hour days I've been looking at Tempur-pedic mattresses a lot lately but they are expensive. I was just wondering if they are worth the price, and which one you would reccommned, also if you don't think the tempur-pedic is a good choice please give me a mattress that is. Thank you

Answer
Hi Miguel,

It has been my experience that a tempur-pedic is the best mattress you can buy. I would like to own one but they are just too expensive! My mattress is fine and my back doesn't hurt, but if it did, I would get one. They are considered the "Rolls Royce" of mattresses.
