Zinus meets Mr Skeptical and wins over a new customer
Man, what can I say except YAHOO!!!!!!!. This may sound like a made up story but, after just one week of usage. My lower back pain has all but been eliminated. First of all, let me start off by saying that I am a pretty big guy. While I am only 5' 10" tall, I push the scales at 285lbs. I am active in Judo, swimming and cycling so it is a healthy weight at 18% body fat. 18% is ideal for a 57 yr old man but carrying that much weight isn't. My body style is due to my German heritage which has us carrying more weight due to my structure. As my lifestyle became more sedentary, I began to have an increase in body aches and pains. Soon I was beginning to have chronic lower back pain and I had long suspected part of this was due to the type of mattress I was using. Finally, about 2 yrs ago, I broke down and the wife and I bought one of those $2400 beds with each side able to move independently. It was a firm memory foam mattress and the wife was in heaven. At first, I thought I felt better but I never had a cessation of the back pain. This went on for 2 yrs and finally the wife suggested I look for another mattress. My daughter who is a nutritionist, suggested going with an extra firm hybrid. So, after exhaustive search and seeing the high scores this bed received, I decided to give it a chance. As most of you may be skeptical that you could find a great bed at this price compared to what the box stores charged. I mean, the higher the price, the better the bed, right? WRONG! This Sinus bed delivers. I bought it in conjunction with the frame you see in the picture. It arrived in a rectangular box and I was thinking "Doesn't that hurt the springs being rolled up"? Apparently it doesn't. I gave it 2 FULL DAYS TO EXPAND per the instructions and spent the first night a little unsure. But I awoke the next morning realizing two things. I don't remember waking up and having to re-adjust my position, and I don't remember anything from the time I went to sleep, til the time I woke up. And that's amazing considering I use a CPAP. Now I will warn you that your body may feel a bit stiff for the first few days since the mattress is so firm. But once your body adjusts to that firmness, you are in heaven. So, if you're on the fence, I hope this review has pushed you over to the better sleep side. Thanks for reading
