I have severe scoliosis and spinal stenosis. In the past I had so much trouble finding a comfortable position while trying to sleep. I could only stay in a position for a short time then I had to re-adjust. With my new Mint mattress I can either lay on my back, left or right side it doesn't matter, I'm pain free, I also wake up in the morning pain free. Like my wife says the biggest problem with this mattress is you don't want to get out of it in the morning!!!
