My husband bought one of those miracle foam beds will it help  

I loved our Somma water bed that we purchased just before son (18.5) was born - infact it was delivered while I was in the hospital a few days before his birth.

IT lasted for 15 years before it started breaking down. so I guess that is not too bad a deal.

Glad to know that your son's miracle foam has worked for him, do you happen to know their intended life span?

We bought the water bed for my husband's older sister in case she came over for a visit. All his family seems to have bad backs and yes we got the old one. That was back in Saskatoon where we lived when we first married, so we brought it here, put it in the basement because my husband felt that it would break the floor of the main bedroom. Also filling it up with water all the time did not appeal to me so we got some mattresses so we could use it as a spare.

We had a Sealy hard mattress, but it gradually got softer - so we got the Miracle Foam (and I am waiting for one of those cut sheep mascots. :)) but not the one with the dial each side to fit the other person. We both like firm.

good

We had a waterbed and brought it here to Manitoba, but my husband did not want to put it in our main bedroom because he did not trust the floor of our house - built on the cheap.

I bought an old house 1909, everyone asked me where I was putting my bed. I told them upstairs. They all said it would come thru the floor. I said I have insurance. After my bed was up and filled, its a king size, its huge. People looked to see if I had cracks in the ceiling. You can put a water bed most places, the weight is spread out over a large area.

We have a foam pad put over our old mattress but that meant that the sheets hardly fit over it and we had to get those things that hold the sheets to the mattress. I can tell the difference, but I do not have the bad back, my husband does. I find that the sheets do not pull out that quick. We move around quite a bit in bed.

I will have to find out if my husband's back no longer hurts.

It is those funny shaped pillows, high on the top and low on the bottom. They are supposed to distribute the head better. What we got was the complete bed set. Just having the foam topping doe snot do that good. Our waterbed is downstairs in the basement and we hated to have to fill it with water when we moved.

They are fairly new. If you have a Brick store in your town, you can find out about them there. The reason we got one was because my husband -the impulse shopper in the family - had a bad back. When we went into the Brick, I thought we were going to look at Blu-Ray Dvd players because I hinted we might need on if they win the dvd wars.

Haha that is funny,and just like a man..My husband is the same way,he is a impulse buyer,however he looks to me for backup,and i just ignore him a lot.......or i will say somethong like ok maybe we will buy that one day..I have to do this because we live on a fixed income and a lot of times he would dig a hole for us and i have to be careful....

Yet if I want something, my husband goes crazy. He says we cannot afford it.

It is not one of those foam topping that you put ON TOP of a regular mattress,it is a regular bed set, containing instead of a box spring and a regular mattress with the springs inside. We did look at the foam toppings but they were squashed into a box, so not that good. We got a bed set at The Brick - they were on sale. We had gotten a regular box spring mattress set at another store a few months ago.
For some reason, my husband thinks that his relatives are going to converge on us for a visit as we also have the water bed (converted to a regular bed( down in the basemnet.

This is not a foam camping type bed. It is solid foam about six inches thick and it springs back, and under it is a box mattress more than six inches thick. It is a specific type of foam, and not the kind that you can fold up. You might say it is a foam core mattress.

Well I weight more than my husband because I am solid and it is not what you call the foam beds you get at camping stores. The foam springs back once you get out. What we got was a Sealy Miracle Foam bed set, complete with the box mattress underneath.
