Bought a Simmons Beautyrest back in 2006 and it came with a box spring. Then in 2007 wife moved in and demand a bed, so we got a bedroom set from Costco, and sold the box spring on craigslist.
Wife and I think that our back condition is starting to deteriorate and we are only 31-32. We are regulars to chiropractor and both have problems in our upper back/shoulder blade area. Chiropractor ask if we have bad pillows or mattress, so we try sleeping without pillow and it sometimes help.
Last week it gets really bad for my wife, and yesterday we try moving the mattress to an empty floor area and sleep on it for the night. It feels like there is more support but back is still hurting for both of us.
As I remove the mattress from the bed, I noticed the frame is actually a vertical wood beam in the middle (a strip of 1" x 3" plywood) with 1"x 3" plywood strips layered on top horizontally, looks like a fish-bone type of layout. This explains why my side and her side feels like sagging downward, but the center of the bed feels fine.
Anyone has similar problem? I'm thinking about putting 2 beams of 2x4 under my position and my wife's position to support the frames, or flat out asking for warranty repair from the bed manufacture.
Something has to be done, but not sure what.
