I got a tempurpedic when I has surgery, and it was good because it held me totally in place, but soon became hard to get out of. Under it was a new super firm mattress, which I thought was the way to go. Just last month I replaced it with a newer Simmons/Sealy posturepedic with a softer top.

1-800-mattres (leave off the last S for savings!) delivers here in NY, and will take it back if you don't like it and bring a new one. They've been very helpful on the phone, with good suggestions for people with back issues.

I'd bet they even come to tiny towns in texas...

Checked with my bone guy on calcium/D for Forteo and sent it on to Billye. It's a guideline, at least.
