So, here I hear a medium firm mattress is best, but I just watched his other video talking about the benefits of sleeping on the floor. Floors are more firm. Hmmmm…meh, I prefer an extra firm mattress.

Hi Doc, thank you for your videos. Wish I had found them 3 yrs ago. I have a C 5-6 herniation. You truly love what you do and are very generous to share such a wealth of information. I was wondering what your thoughts are on a firm waveless waterbed? I’ve tried innerspring, and memory foam with no luck.

This video had good advice which I followed. I went to mattress store today and tried several different types before finally choosing one. Glad I did it as this video advised.

Thx for the video. Do you think memory foam or springs are better to release lower back pressure?

thank you for the video. my friend is a veteran and has has surgery on his neck. he has a air bed. I’m shopping for him to get a new bed. he lives in a motor home. it gets hot. we live in northern Ca. the air bed has popped up into one big bubble on one corner and I find it hard to sleep with two persons on it. would loft, pocket maybe 8″ or height or more, I was going with gel latex. before I buy, what’s your opinion on a height, style and sweat dust resistant mattress. until I seen your video we were looking for a firm bed.

this is amazing I wish I could get a new mattresses me and my 4 years old son sleep in the mattresses that is full of mold we cough every night that we come to the room because of the mold of the mattresses some people wish gold and diamonds me and my son we just wishing a new mattresses

I have been looking for you for the past three years!! Trapezius/neck/shoulder pain has been controlling my life for three years. Three doctors, MRIs, xrays.. physical therapy etc to no avail. I’ve been doing some yoga on my own, will start to look for a mattress very soon and do some of your exercise suggestions. Thanks for the videos!

What about Sleep Number?

I member d days me and my pregnant wife had to sleep up on yonder on top of the mountain first we laid some Dem dang ol wooden pallets down. Then we would go and steal some Dem dare chicken feathers from the people’s down the hills farm. Once we got up enough chicken feathers we laid em out on Dem dang ol wooden pallets and top em off with old crochet blanket ma made for me before she went off to prison. And I tell ya what it sure as hell helped my hemroids real good

his jaw is flapping and nothing is coming out

You answered nothing

I have always slept on cheap divans until 2014 when my my mattress wore so bad I could not sleep beyond 4am with severe back pain. I got a memory foam topper and for a few months it was great then the pain returned. I thought the topper had gotten soft so I decided to buy a full orthopedic mem foam mattress…big mistake. Have been in pain for a year. I am ok till around 4 am then my mid back aches & is so sore until i get up & then i am pain free all day. I have recently been on a computerised comfort zone in a bed shop and was shocked to see that my pressure points were bad on a firm (5) & (4) but eased up on a soft (1) & (2) I have decided to go for a pillow sprung with mem foam topping on a (2) & hoping this helps…thoughts appreciated…thanks

Doctor Mandela, i have 2 question for you.
I have serious neck pain about a year, 1–when i am sleeping on the floor at night the pain goes away or at least i feel better the following day, thou you mentioned the “firm” mattress might not be beneficial as Medium Firm. do you still think medium firm is the best mattress for me?
2–How to choose the mattress jut by lay on it for couple of minutes? what is the trick to know if its the right one for me?
