Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, first of all, I've waited a number of months to be sure this thing really works, and IT DOES!!! Every sleeper's situation is unique so I will tell you a little about mine (yawn!). I rent a furnished apartment and the bed was fine when I arrived, nothing special; definitely hand-me-down (a little icky, I know). But after sleeping comfortably on it for a couple of years I noticed a definite valley in the middle. I have sciatic nerve problems with my lower back, so I thought a new mattress might make a difference. However, my landlord declined to buy me a new one, so I started looking into futons, thinking something more firm would be the ticket. I found some interesting looking ones on Amazon, but they were all more than I wanted to spend (on principle - I'm paying for a furnished apartment, after all!). Then I noticed this product and for only $59.00 (at the time) I thought why not! So several months later, using the Mattress Helper and a rigid piece of plywood on top of the box springs has restored my bed completely, so that there is no indentation in the middle and I sleep well on it again. Highly recommended!!!! Oh, I forgot to mention that at first the mattress helper actually raised the middle of my bed a little higher than the sides, so it helped to sleep right on top of the middle. Now, after a couple of months, the bed is level so I can stretch out anywhere. Consider this when you buy. If two people use the bed (or 3?!), you probably should get two and each person should sleep on his or her mattress helper to break it in. And maybe place them close together under the mattress so there is no valley between them. Make sense?
