After our mattress was starting to sag a bit me and my boyfriend decided to get a new mattress. I had never had any back pain before and am 24 years old but after a night on our new slumberland mattress from dreams I had awful hip pain. We got told firm is better for your back and although it said firm on it, it didnt feel too firm in the shop but I guess that's because it was on a spring divan base.I'm a 9 stone side sleeper so I guess firm isn right for me. The pain would go away after being awake for a few hours but now I have it all day everyday and it radiates around my hip and shoots down my leg, sometimes just to my knee and sometimes to my foot! It's been about 9 months now and we have tried several other mattresses including a hypnos in medium but it's just getting worse and worse. When I'm asleep I'm constantly waking up trying to get comfortable so I never feel like I have slept properly along with having the pains.
So the question is, has anyone had this problem and can anyone recommend a soft mattress that will ease the pain? I never had this before so convinced it is from hard mattresses.
I have decided I definately need a soft one as all the rest have been firm or medium. I have tried a shetland in soft and it feels amazing but worried as I don't want to get a really expensive bed on credit and then it makes it worse or gives me another pain because it's too soft. I have tried it in medium but that just feels too hard. I feel like every mattress in every shop is too firm apart from this one, which costs so much! If anyone could recommend something soft that has sorted their hip pain out I would be so grateful! I don't know what to do anymore..
Many thanks :)
