Re: Great Ideas for People With Special Needs/mattress heater-AJ

[Guest guest]

Hi AJ,

When you mentioned the mattress heater, I remembered having seen an ad for

one. It sure is something I could use too. I nearly freeze at night. A bone

chilling cold-like the bones themselves are cold-and the whole body is

affected.

With that, and the body pillow (which ever shape I decide on) it will be a

help. I have been having trouble sleeping from bursitis in BOTH hips-and the

unending 'cold bones'.

In the past it's only been the right hip that's this bad. Even my shoulders

are aching- face it----my whole entire body aches!! A never ending ache!!!

Sometimes I wish I could lay on a nice warm cloud and have *nothing*

touching my joints, but that's asking for the impossible . Ahhh, but what

bliss that would be!

I'm getting ornery too from this, and that's not my usual 'sunny'

disposition shining forth!< LOL>

With the mattress heater, does it ever get too warm? (at this point I don't

think there is such a thing as *too* warm)--or are there controls to set the

temperature?

Thanks for the memory jogger on the mattress heater.

> I have a body pillow; I love it. If I could afford it I would buy two and

sew the ends together to make an upside-down U to make one to wrap around so

that I dont have to keep moving the one I have.

I recently bought the matteress heater which heats where there is contact

to the mattress; so I stick my body pillow under the blankets and dont get

in bed until it is heated up. When i get in I flip the pillow over and have

a nice heating puff to surround me

itself.

expensive.
