I herniated a disc or two in the summer of 2021 from carrying my 15 year old eighty-pound golden retriever around toward the end of her life. I had intense back pain issues getting up in the morning after that, so bad at times I literally fell back into bed it was so excruciating.
While sleeping in a vacation rental condo with a thick Tempurpedic foam mattress topper in March, however, I woke up with no back pain. I soon realized the new, super firm mattress I had bought at the start of COVID had been exacerbating my back issues. When I got home, I promptly put a 3 inch foam topper that I had stored away on top of my mattress. Even though my back gets a little stiff during the night in one position, I no longer get out of bed in intense pain. In fact, NO PAIN at all. An instant turnaround.
I suggest anyone who wakes up with extreme back pain start experimenting with foam toppers!
