I have arthritis in my low back (low lumber and sacrum areas) as well as hip pain (and neck, but I think that's more of a pillow issue).

I have yet to find a mattress that does not cause me to have pain when I wake up. I sleep on my side and tend to roll back and forth from one side to the other all night.

I don't want something too firm since it hurts my hips, but my current mattress (a gift from a friend) is super soft and while it does not cause pain in my hips, my back is horrible when I get up.

I weigh about 230 and I'm looking for a queen size that I can put on a basic frame (I have a box spring and frame already)

Please help! I just had my second knee replacement and I have not slept more than 4 hours a night since my first replacement almost 2 years ago. Both of my boys have special needs, so I really need more sleep than this.

Price is an issue, but if it will make a HUGE difference maybe I can borrow money.

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who chimed in for advice. I ended up going with a Boring Hybrid. I will update once I get some nights in, but it seems like I will really like it!

I’m a 32 year old side sleeper dealing with lower back pain for the past year and a half and i’ve tried everything to figure out why. Turns out, it’s my 8 year old memory foam mattress.

Although I don’t use reddit as much, my friends always say that to get the best most honest truth about anything, reddit is the way to go. So here I am.

I’ve tried SEVEN mattresses over the last year, none of them work. if it wasn’t for the trial periods I think I’d have to get a second mortgage loan out or something.

It feels like I’ve tested all brands out there and now i found myself checking out Boring Mattress. I saw a few reddit posts from other communities that had the same problem I have and how the hybrid one fixed their back pain.

I just need something that will give me real pressure relief and solid support. They say it’s medium-firm, ships in a box, work with platform beds and very bare bones with their layers. I’m tempted but wanted to check with y’all first. Has anyone actually tried the boring brand?

Please sure any experience you have, i’m open to anything at this point.

I have a firm tempurpedic and I'm exploring what other people who have experienced hip pain would recommend!
