HELP! Need tips on making bed comfortable for both of us!!!!?
I just moved in with my boyfriend. He has a memory foam mattress that is destroying my back. I need a very firm mattress so I bought a thin sheet of wood and placed it underneath the mattress. I immediately noticed it was much firmer but a few hours into the night I woke up w/ so much pain I rolled out of bed and suffered on the floor all night. Should I just persuade him to get a new bed or is there anything we can do???! Please I am desperate for some sleep!!!
I’ve been sleeping on this thing for 2 months now and my back has not got used to it.
The floor is way more comfortable than the mattress so I assume that a firmer surface is what I need.

The plywood trick doesn’t work with memory foam. That’s an old trick for sagging regular matteress. It takes a few nights to get use to the foam but it is far better for your back than a regular firm box springs and matteress.
You should have at least 3/4 inch thick plywood under your side of the mattress to avoid it’s ‘sagging’. That’s not cheap, but a sore back will cost even more…
If you are suffering on the hard floor, no sagging mattress is the problem. See a good Physical Therapist.
