#2That is one of the least usable flowcharts I have ever seen.
Anyone care to knock together a much more readable one that doesn't use a 3d isometric view to not just confuse the read by splitting things over multiple levels, but also to actually obscure the text which is the point of the diagram?
Don't get me wrong - it's a lovely idea, but the execution is...less than optimal.

Thank you!

#5What's with the obsession of spending money on the "best" bed. I find I sleep best on a very thin ~$20 mattress on the floor or on a polyfoam mattress when camping. In general a plain flat and hard surface seems to feel best for the back. The more advanced beds remind me a bit of the other big scam: running shoes. (end of rant and I didn't even mention chairs :)

Are running shoes a scam? My legs and feet say they aren't. With beds I tend to agree with you, but try sleeping without a matress when camping. It's doable but you tend to still be tired in the morning. So it's possible that a very good matress makes you sleep even better.

I'd simply add "buy the best bed _for you_." In your case, you lucked out, others may find only fancy mattresses are restful.

The shoe scam quip references the resurgence of barefoot/forefoot running, which eliminates the need for heel shock absorption or "motion control" shoes (aka, the costly ones).
It's referred to ask a scam because running shoe retailers typically teach heel strike running and then offer costly shoes to mitigate injury.
If you're interested check out the book "Born To Run," google POSE running or check out crossfitendurance.com

I was never taught heel strike yet I use it. It's not that the shoe retailers teach it, it's just the most natural way to run when you're wearing shoes. When you run barefoot you naturally switch to front strike. I'm going to try running barefoot again. The problem I had with it last time is that you can't run fast because when you run fast and you're exhausted you're going to hurt yourself by making small landing mistakes and by stepping on stones and tree branches and cracks in the road...anyone have experience seriously (i.e. not light recreational) running barefoot on less than ideal surfaces?

My best friend's brother has a long history of back problems. He dropped a few grand on a TempurPedic, and they all but disappeared.
It's only one data point, but I'd imagine there are others.
