My husband wakes up with a backache every morning. He does have some back "issues" but our mattress could be contributing to his problem.

Too many choices re mattesses, so would like to know if anyone has an opinion as to what type to try.

Thank you.

It seems many mattresses are thicker than - sm
they used to be. Lots come with more padding, etc. My queen-sized fitted sheets tend to not fit my new queen-sized mattress. (I also use an extra Ikea pad on top of it, too, compounding the problem. When you shop, look for ones for thicker mattresses. They do exist, but don't know what they're called. Maybe "extra-deep", something like that. For the non-fitting ones, I found these wonderful things called mattress garters. They work just like the stocking garter-belts in the old days used to work. That way you can at least get the non-fitting corners to stay in place. (They also work well with flat sheets.)
