  At last, I can get a full night’s rest without getting a sore back. Sometime around age 60 I began to have trouble getting a full night’s sleep. After 5 or 6 hours in bed, my back would start to ache. I thought it must be the 15-year-old mattress I was sleeping on. So I went out and bought a new one. I chose a pillow top option. But it didn’t help. I was out a good deal of money and too embarrassed to admit that I had made a bad purchasing decision. So I just lived with my choice—and my sore back. Fast forward a few years. Back still aching, I decided to make another foray into the world of mattresses. Simplicity opened near my home, and I heard they carried beds. So I stopped in. I explained my plight to the owner. He asked about my sleep habits (I’m a side sleeper) and about my physical condition (I am normal weight and in fairly decent shape, but I do suffer from plantar fasciitis). He seemed to take a sincere interest in solving my sleep problem from a scientific perspective. He let me stretch out on a variety of mattresses in the store. They all felt pretty good. But I said I couldn’t know for sure unless I spent the night on one. No worries, he said, we’ll bring the mattress out and you can sleep on it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. So his guys delivered it and set it up (good crew—extremely courteous and careful) and hauled my old mattress away. I was optimistic. But after a few nights, I could see no improvement in my situation. I slept on the mattress for a full two weeks to see if things might “get better,” but they didn’t. So I went back to the store. This time the owner conferred with one of his associates, Mark, who apparently has helped guys like me in similar situations. He said my problem was likely not the mattress, but the contour of my bed. My best bet would be an adjustable bed to go under the mattress—it would allow me to change the angle of the head and feet. I thought, what have I got to lose? So the crew brought out an adjustable bed and set it up. It’s essentially a steel frame with little motors—you adjust the angles using a remote control. That first night, I elevated both the head and the feet a little,creating a sort of saucer contour. It worked. It was the first night in what seems like forever that I slept a full eight hours without getting a backache. I’ve had my new bed about a month now, and I’ve been sleeping soundly every night and waking up refreshed every morning.
