Can anyone support the claim that these help a bad back?

I've considered, and still am considering one to help with this. I feel that my current mattress doesn't provide a lot of support in that department.

I've slept on one before and it was extremely comfrotable, but that was before I started having some issues and I have never slept on one consistently.

My sister & brother-in-law got theirs because he has a seriously fucked up back - like, chiropractors are surprised that he's even able to walk - and it causes him a lot of pain. It's been miraculous for him.

We looked at the Tempur-pedic but it was definitely out of our price range. We ended up getting a Sealy Embody which is also a memory foam. It is amazing. My husband and I both have lower back problems and this has helped tremendously. If you can't afford the Tempur-pedic this is a viable option. Had it for 6 months and we are thrilled and this is after having several top of the line inner spring mattresses. Will never go back!

Another idea, if you're too broke to buy the tempurpedic mattress, is to get a tempurpedic pillow. That's what I got - with a memory foam (not tempurpedic) mattress topper on my old, cheap mattress. I really do find that even just the pillow goes a long way toward a good night's sleep. :thumbup:
