Question
I have leg pain related to spinal disc degeneration causing pain in my right calf when laying down.  Since I am going to purchase a new matress, I wondered which type would be most beneficial: tempurpedic, sleep number (air) or regular inner spring?

Answer
Hello Ginny,

    The two top matresses my patients like the best are tempurpedic and sleep number.  

   Tempurpedic is a little stiffer initially and can be hot, traps your body heat in the thick foam material.

   Sleep number beds can be purchased with a layer of the memory foam... if you like it.

   Lay on them both and you may want to the initial one month trial.

Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
