Ok, next question mostly geared to us old guys.

Based on what bed you selected, what part of your body hurt that factored into your final desicion?

Back, hips and knees. Pillow for the neck and shoulders.

Lower back (arthritis) and knees

Lower back (arthritis) and knees

Bed helped with knees?

No, but a knee pillow did, and with the back not in as much pain, the knees followed. Of course the 55lb weight loss helped also. Just need to loose some more ...

Just saw an article this morning on a new drug in testing that reduces 45% of body weight and helps with knee pain and my first thought was well that's about 60 lbs on me so of course will help with knee pain...

Losing weights makes such a difference.
I went from 283 to 230 and everything is a bit better.

My feet hand over the end of the bed eliminates a pressure point.

We have separate box and spring beds. Love the 40 year old mattress. I just flip and turn it to keep the shape that fits so well.

Yeah i think this is different kind.

Isn't there 1 drug used for diabetes that seems to be popular for weightloss? People drop pounds extremely quick. But I also heard they're suppose to be on it the rest of their life?

 

[redneck joe]

Yeah those are the glp1 family. Talked to my doctor and he's not really a fan. Without lifestyle changes it just all comes back.

Perfect timing on this mattress subject. About 8 years back we tried one of the foam mattresses and to date have been disappointed with it. My wife has a bad back even after 2 surgeries and both hips replaced. I have ploymyalgia, arthritis of the muscles an RA and the foam mattress seems to be making our pains worse recently. We are looking to replace our current but....what do we buy ? Any comments on foam vs spring vs any other type mattress for folks that are older with arthritis issues are of interest to us....thanks in advance !
