First, let me say I am a physician and a chronic low back pain sufferer. Like many people, I am in search of the best mattress to alleviate my pain and provide a full night's sleep. We purchased our PacBamboo Plus late last summer (2008) to replace a 10 year old inner spring mattress. At first, I loved it. True, it smelled funny for a week, but that was easily ignored. However, a few things were not so easily dismissed. I found myself waking up a few times at night because of excessive heat trapping between the mattress and myself. Again, I could live with the heat if that were the only problem. Now, after only 6 months of use, the foam compresses so much at night that by 3am I feel like I am lying on a cement slab. Needless to say, sleeping after that point is nearly impossible. Remember, I purchased the Plus mattress too, to make certain I had "extra" of the soft foam layer to prevent this problem. I am not overweight, 6' 180lbs, and the mattress should not feel like that. Even worse, the mattress has worsened my wifes neck pain. Talk about a double whammy...my back pain is worse and my wife is mad at me for buying this mattress! Bottom line.. I am now sleeping on my old inner spring mattress in the guest room until I find another mattress. I hope others are having better luck.
