I like a soft mattress because of my hips but trying to find one is something else. I finally bought an egg shell mattress to put on top of my bed and that helps alot.

For traveling you can pick up an egg shell mattress in any store like Fred Meyers or K-mart. Also, they have these new fangled air mattresses that you can blow up to where it suits you...I haven't tried those yet. They supposedly fold up into a nice little square for packing. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2000 Report Share Posted October 14, 2000 I recently have begun using a magnetic bed pad and have been amazed at how much it has helped.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2000 Report Share Posted October 14, 2000 From: and Beth Reeves <munch@...> >I sure would like to hear the answers other people have for what type of bed do you sleep on to help with body pain at night. I suppose sleep needs vary from type of L.P. to L.P. However, Lin and I SWEAR by our waterbed! This topic was discussed here some months ago, and it was surprising just how many people had, and loved, a waterbed. It supports the body from top to toe and moulds itself around the various contours. It is especially good for the huge curve at the base of the spine. Second, (and this may sound weird), but a pillow half way down the bed gives unbelievable comfort, when you use it to wrap your legs around.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2000 Report Share Posted October 14, 2000 Water beds have been the best for me too. I used a full wave mattress for years and now have a semi-waveless mattress. I keep the heater temp up enough to be warm but comfortable. The heat really helps ease the stiffness and soreness for me but hubby roasts (hehe). The girls have the soft sided water mattresses with tubes of water in them and they love them. I personally sleep much better on my bed. I, too, have a very hard time trying to sleep on those HARD hotel beds. Reba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2000 Report Share Posted October 14, 2000 I have an antique bed with just a firm mattress, no boxspring. I sleep with my head off the pillow, I use a towel under the small of my back and a large towel rolled under my knees. I also use more towels under my hips. I use an electric blanket for added heat.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2000 Report Share Posted October 14, 2000 Here is my post again on the subject of beds, just in case it " got lost in the mail " (he he). Anyway, this is my opinion. Hope it helps. Bye all, Wanda , I am an SED and I have had 5 back surgeries and I have a full floatation waterbed. I Love it!!! I can not sleep for more than one night on a regular mattress. If I do, then I get all stiff and sore. My Doc. (Dr Kopits) even recommended a waterbed to me and you may even be able to get your medical insurance to pay for one. That's just my opinion and advice, I hope it helps. Good Luck and please let me know what you discover.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 I've been sleeping on the couch lately, partly because of the PA and partly because of my darling husband's snoring (somewhat like an eighteen wheeler's horn going off right next to your head!).

Great on a water bed! Fortunately this is where the blessing of working night shift comes in. I only have to put up with it 3 nights of the week.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Jumps and twitches?! Mine has apnea, so he stops breathing (although he won't admit it and go to a doctor about it), which means that I'm half awake all night just trying to make sure he doesn't die on me. He probably wouldn't--he lived just fine for years before we were married--but I feel like if I'm in the bed with him that I should be paying attention. =) Sinead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 My parents surprised me (VERY Nice, but HUGE mistake!) by having a new mattress and box springs delivered the day before my second surgery. I had the same amt of pain, if not more. I believe that no matter what a salesperson says (unfortunately my parents thought this guy was mattress God who knew all, he was a salesman getting his bonus) they do not know what is best for which person. My parents now agree that I should have " tried " out the mattresses myself. They got the hardest mattress, no " pillow " top like they have on some. It's a Sealy. When the 2nd (last) portion of my disability back pay came in February, I bought a " box " featherbed. The featherbed has helped, but for me personally, I believe I need a less firm mattress. I sleep on my left side, tho all my pain is on my left side I can't sleep on my right, it makes the pain.. odd is all I can say, I can't explain it.. I sleep on the pain, sorta like putting pressure on it so it doesnt hurt as much, I know sounds weird but its really hard for me to explain, maybe one of you is the same way and know how I mean. Anyhow, I sleep with a body pillow behind me, a body pillow that I " hug " that goes down between my legs so that my knees nor ankles are touching each other, a pillow under the foot that is on the featherbed, and pillows under my head. I'm " boxed " in so that I don't roll, there are also 4 pillows behind the body pillow that is against my back. I'm still not comfortable, it takes me a bit to get to sleep, and I wake up in pain always... and I have to say, being a female it's triple the pain for the week before and during. Lastly, the reason I have so many pillows behind me is because if I roll on my back when I'm asleep, I'm litterally in tears and screaming, the pain waking me. I've woken up my daughter and scared her to death, tho now she knows the " routine " if that happens. Thankfully most of the time it's happened right about the time we need to get up in the morning. She luckily can hear me yell for her and when I do that, she knows something is wrong. Being miss independent, I've told her I'll be ok and feel like such a horrible mom when she gets herself ready for school and out the door to the bus. After a couple times of having to go to the bathroom so bad I've almost not made it, I've told her that if I'm that way make sure I have the phone with me. Sometimes she's able to move my legs slowly to the side of the bed, then (the poor kid I felt so bad when this happend) as I scream in pain moving to stand up, she's crying her little eyes out. This happened a couple times and I couldnt do it anymore, the pain I felt and the pain in her eyes was too much. Now she gives me the phone, I fake that I'm ok just too tired to get up (when it happens, luckily its not often). I try to hold out as long as possible but end up calling my parents (who live just down the street thankfully) to come help me. Luckily they finally believe one thing, when I say no ambulance I mean it, I'm sure you all know how useless it is to go to the ER, sit for 2-6 hrs, only to be handed a paper saying call your doctor in the am, sorry we cant help you, you have pain meds. Sorry once again I sorta get off subject. Yes my mattress is new, well was brand new on Oct 14, 2001. Featherbed has helped a little, I believe I'd be a lot worse off without it, but I still think for me a softer bed is better. As for your question on an adjustable, the craftmatic, I think that would be similar to a hospital bed (with the positions of it I mean) but not sure how comfy. http://www.craftmatic.com/html/US/free.html You can go there and speak with a rep, I just tried but they are " closed " . If you can get one to try for 30 days, I'd say go for it, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right company that does the free 30 day trial. Anyhow, I also was going to ask them about ins. paying for it, but as I said they are " closed " . Please let me know if you find out any info, I'm curious again about it (I was before but just never did anything about it, my own fault). My parents now know that they salesman was just that, someone selling them a mattress. I feel so bad they spent their money on that to help me out and hated being honest b/c I didn't want to hurt them, but they'd rather have me tell them the bed sucks than to lie, that's just not me and they'd see it in my eyes when they'd help me out of bed anyhow unfortunately. I wish so much that I could find a surgeon that would see me based on what I feel and not what an MRI shows, as much pain as I'm still in there has got to be something that is not showing up on MRI's or xrays... I keep thinking of what someone once told my aunt I think it was.. floating disc particle from a previous surgery " imbedded " itself somehow on/in the sciatic nerve that no test showed, it was found years later when another surgery was done...all those years spent in pain and by accident found out what the cause was..

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hi Connie, Did I ever tell you that I appreciate your advice but respectfully it hurts to read so much. I'm sorry, I get carried away at times too. There were so many points I wanted to comment on but have to reread or scan the whole thing to find them all, lol. Ok here we go. I sleep on my left because my right hurts. I can never seem to move my head to my chin or rightside w/o nausea. I can understand how you need to do the opposite and sleep on the side of pain. Next I feel the same way about E.R.s. They take forever and do next to nothing for you in the end resulting in a morning appointment with your regular Doctor. That sounds real scary floating disc particles. I can hear crunchy crackling sounds moving my head backwards toward the right when seated. Hope it's not the same thing. Lastly I'll let you know how I make out with the craftmatic but am juggling so many things right now it may take till the weekend. That's why I was hoping for some advice here. -Nick ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beds Lets talk b-e-d, bed. No it's not a pick up line but did anyone consider relief with purchasing a new bed? How old is your present bed? Does anyone own a craftmatic adjustable bed? Can you recommend it to others? I am on my third week of PT and have no positive results. I'll be persuing surgery and was wondering how important a good bed is for recovery.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Nick, My orthopedist recommended Tempur-pedic, the kind that was initially developed by aerospace scientists for the NASA program. I’m just about to buy one, so I’ll let you know how it turns out. My orthopedist (who just made medical history on the balloon/cement bone injection) says that the adjustable beds are for very disabled people. If you have severe trouble arising from bed, transferring from bed to a wheelchair, etc. an adjustable bed is the one you want. What’s more important is the kind of mattress padding you put on that adjustable bed. Hadn’t thought of checking with my medical insurance to see if they’ll cover it. sonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Gulf War veteran with a multitude of heath problems, including spinal canal stenosis. The VA now says they can't do anything else, since the epidural steroid injection didn't work. Apparently surgery won't provide me with pain relief. :-( Anyway...a month ago, a Tempur-pedic (http://www.tempurpedic.com) adjustable bed & neck pillows arrived in my home. The unique pillow (ordered by physical dimensions for the best fit) is unlike the memory foam ones you see in the stores. These are expensive, but well worth it. Mine has reduced my morning neck pain. The bed is just...AWESOME. I needed an adjustable bed due to GERD & it provides the 45 degree angle my doctor recommended. The massage feature lulls you to sleep & shuts off 30 minutes later. Unlike the Craftmatic, Tempur-pedic beds don't use a heat setting. The unique memory foam males you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, as you don't feel the pressure of normal mattresses. I still wake up with pain, but it's a lesser pain than before. Now...it's around 10AM before my pain level hits what it used to be upon waking. I HIGHLY recommend theses beds & pillows. Take care! FIRST IN SUPPORT!

Make sure you have someone who can take you old bed apart (if you bought the complete bed) before they deliver the Tempur-pedic. The drivers aren't supposed to do it. The bed will work on your current headboard, but the drivers won't contact that either. :-( Otherwise, plan on taking a warm bath/shower before heading to bed for the best night's sleep you've ever had. Did you get the pillows? They should arrive before the bed does. FIRST IN SUPPORT!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I recently asked this same question as we were bed shopping. We then bought the select comfort bed which is the sleep number bed. I am in heaven. You make it as hard or as soft as you want. When my back is bad, I make it firmer but otherwise, I feel as if I am sleeping on a marshmallow, I have it so soft. I will say it is expensive but you can make payments if you want. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Cary, Most of our family are memory foam addicts. I just bought a new mattress, needing one for our guest room. The 10 year old mattress with the memory foam pad far surpasses any mattress we tried out. The best price I¹ve seen is where I got mine, in a family owned department store back in NJ.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for the response, Judy. This is the one my significant other is leaning towards! He likes a hard bed-I told him he should just sleep on the street! I like softer. He wants to make sure whatever we get is good for me, which is nice.
