Osteoporosis and lower back pain

A simple idea--when was the last time you got a new mattress or mattress topper? If you get the right one, the morning stiffness might be reduced. Some don't give enough, and others might not give enough support. It's a trial and error, but we have found that the right mattress topper makes a difference. This is somewhat like when a running or walking shoe has broken down, one can sometimes feel the need for a new one.

Thanks for this info! I searched 'mattress topper' in the group and was surprised anything came up. This is something I've been contemplating myself but I'm unsure about the type and brand of mattress topper to get. There are so many out there! I have upper back discomfort/pain that I'm sure must be associated with the osteoporosis and also some knee pain at times. My husband also has degenerative disks and finds it difficult to stay in one position for any length of time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you so much to everyone in this forum group. You're all wonderful!
