Try Casper mattress. Not hot and firm.I'm needing a new mattress. I' a hot sleeper and have lower back pain. Has anyone bought a Purple, Layla, Winkbed, Amerisleep, Casper, Nectar, etc... that they can recommend?
I'm 37, 6' 185lbs. I had covid back in 07/20 and it's left me with covid induced Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). This basically means the electrical part of my heart doesn't know what to do and just the act of standing up can make my heart rate jump to over 200bpm w/ risk of passing out. While having the EKG my heart rate wouldn't stabilize, it constantly jumped around from 85-203, while laying down. I've got a tilt table test coming up in a couple of weeks. After that, I should be able to take meds to control my heart, hopefully.
Anyway, said that to say, this issue has caused me to start sweating bad and to just run hot all the time. So I'm looking for a new mattress that doesn't trap body heat and maybe even a mattress that has a cooling effect. Also, I have back lower back pain, (Pinched nerve/Sciatica). I tend to mess my back up a couple of times a year and have to get injections and a steroid pack and within about 2-3 weeks I'm good again. My insurance won't pay for an MRI yet, so still waiting to find out the fix for it. I recently messed my back up and the back pain and sweating have made it clear I need a new mattress. I'm also replacing the linens with either Percale cotton or real Linen as they are supposed to sleep the coolest and be the most breathable.
My current mattress is a Serta iHybrid (firm) and after 2 years has developed "divots" from where we sleep, its now 3 years old and has to go. My previous mattress was a Simmons Beautyrest Black (soft) that made it about 3-4 years before doing the exact same thing. I think I'm done with these traditional pillowtop mattresses.
I thought the mattresses I was buying were high quality. So, I'm now considering buying 1 more "Nice" mattress to see if it helps and if it doesn't make it longer than a few years then I think I'm going to just buy cheap mattresses and plan to replace them every year or 2.
TLDR: Need a new mattress for a hot sleeper with back pain, that's a combo sleeper. Would like it to sleep cool, hopefully, relieve some back pain, and last 5-10 years. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.
