I have quite severe back problems (probably ankylosing spondylitis.. awaiting MRI results) and wake in pain. I also wake in the night in severe pain. I'm very stiff ..lower back and hips.
And no matter how I try, I always wake face down, which is not good for my back, but it's how I always end up sleeping!
We are about to buy a new bed and hopefully a decent mattress, but I have NO idea what to look for. I don't like pure memory foam and they make dh sweat, but don't know how to find out what is best!
