Well, gonna admit I had an 18 year old mattress. I have a lot of lower back and neck pain. And yep I waited too long to get a new mattress, because I kept thinking something new will make my pain worse, and then what?? If you have back pain, a new mattress is a hard decision. I'm old school and was very resistant to try these new fangled bed in a box memory foam beds. Just sounded like a bad idea to me.
Well, my old mattress was definitely not doing me any favors so I went ahead and nervously pulled the trigger on a BED IN A BOX. Seemed so wrong. But it was so right.
I am sleeping great now, No more lower back pain and I'm working on a new pillow for neck pain. I made it official and threw away my old mattress.
My advice is try it. Remember that you can return it if it doesn't work for you. There is a transition period, it took me about 3 weeks before my body adjusted to the memory foam. Also, it was still a bit firm. As I did, I think most people use these memory foam beds as a base and then customize them with toppers and quilted mattress covers to get it just right. I'm so glad I gave the Nectar a try. Don't give up, a Goldilocks bed is really important, especially as you get older. I was so afraid of making my pain worse, but this Nectar has eased my pain a great deal. So glad I stuck it out during the adjustment period.
