Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 We have a king size bed, but we're thinking about getting a new softer mattress. Some nights I have to go sleep in the spare room where the bed is super soft. Our mattress is pretty hard, or it is to me anyway. We have a cheapo mattress pad, but they keep slipping and making a bump in the middle of the bed where the pad actually folds over. I have that. We use the high count sheets, one pair is regular sheets the other two pairs are brushed cotton and so soft and silky. I prefer the brushed ones. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs, I use one of those long pillows for that and it has a silky feeling case on it. I use two pillows under my head and one is turned where is sorta supports my back. Okay it sounds strange, but I sleep on my left side (I rarely move once I'm alseep) and if I roll my head straight up the pillow is there. I also have one folded pillow under my arm because my shoulder kills me if I don't. So I use 4 pillows, maybe 5 if I can steal one from , lol, which I put behind my back. We can't do flannel sheets because we both get to hot while we sleep. Most nights I have to uncover my feet because the burn so much. Sometimes I have to get up because of it, plus I'm soaking wet from sweating. We use a very light cotton blanket and sometimes thats to much for us.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 We have a double bed with a Sleep Comfort mattress (dual controls). We use percale sheets in the summer & usually use good flannel sheets in winter, but with the night sweats I'm having now we may not be able to use those this year. I have some kind of expensive pillow bought for me (Tempurpedic or something similar), which molds to my head then bounces back when I move. keeps his side of the bed so soft that if I get too close I fall downhill onto him; my side is firmer. Any blankets have to be lightweight - can't stand heavy covers. And, we usually have at least one cat somewhere on the bed; number of cats depends on the temperature - the colder it is outside, the more cats in our bed inside. Flash sleeps against the backs of 's knees, Ellie likes my feet, Thor (if he chooses to join us) beside me but not touching; the others just surprise us.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Oh yea....We have a queen and sometimes I can feel every spring in it....My hips will start hurting so badly....We really need another new mattress, and I would put it on top of the old one for height.....I have to use two pillows....If I get pills on the sheets, I can feel everyone of them on my body and it makes me hurt.....

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 - You sound like us with the cats and dogs sleeping in the bed. At any given time we have our rat Jack terrier (Stormy) and anywhere up to 6 cats in bed with us. Stormy sleeps between us and the cats all pile up on my side of the bed. All curled up around me, some under the covers some on top. lol Sure keeps you warm, at times to hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yeah, right now we have the flannel sheets on....but we haven't put the heat on yet and sleep with the windows open and one light blanket. I use two pillows, but one is under my head...twisted around my neck and back (I usually sleep on my right side) and the other is between my head and the headboard.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Oh yeah...our bed is high enough that the mattress hits right at the bottom of my butt cheeks...my grandma had it that way...high bed and deep mattress and box spring...it is so much easier to get into and out of, and it was wonderful for when Denny had his hip replacement done.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Wow! I envy the chair...where did you have it made? I hadn't mentioned (at least I don't think I did) the "sleep clothing" or lack thereof....I cannot sleep in anything. I've slept nude since I was a teenager. nightgowns and t-shirts always feel like they are twisting up and choking me...either at the neck or my arms or my legs or my waist. PJ's are somewhat better and if I'm somewhere that I absolutely must where something (like if Kayly and I are on a trip and sharing a bed, or if we are at someone else's house and lack privacy, or a campground, etc) that's what I wear....but they still seem to choke, twist and smother me. Kathy Re: Beds/sleeping When and I lived in different towns, we always slepttogether when we were together . . . of course, sleeping wasexactly high on the list of 'things to do', and we were typicallyonly together for a few days every few weeks. But, shortly afterwe started living together, we got separate beds; he justcouldn't get used to sleeping with someone after all those yearsof sleeping alone; and, was developing a massive case of sleepdeprivation.I currently sleep in a custom double-wide recliner -- sleepingsitting up helps with the breathing -- with 6" conformable foamas the surface padding, and ultrasuede as the upholstery. I use1-6 pillows, depending on how I'm feeling. All the pillows arecovered in quilted cotton jackets with 300-count egyptian cottonshams. I wear all cotton sleep Ts, and -- in the depths ofwinter -- all cotton knitted footies. I have one very lightthermal blanket that's cotton and silk; but, I often don't usethat at all . . . my base temp runs ~100 degrees; and, with thehot flashes, I just don't get cold.One of my big problems is that I don't move when I sleep . . .when they did the sleep study on me, the only time I turned overwas when I was awake. So, I'm at really high risk of developingpressure sores; hence, the conformable foam padding.Lleodhais ususally starts out sleeping next to me in the chair;but, generally retreats to her bed on the floor so that she canburrow into the blanket on it . . . she does not approve of thecover-free sleeping experience.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Luv's Seating by Design; they're a local custom-furniture place. They will design almost anything you can conceive, and have the biggest selection of upholstery fabrics I've ever seen. But, you sure can't call them cheap. ;> I used to sleep nude; but, with the drench-everything hot flashes, I was having to change the bottom sheet 2-3 times a night. Now, I just put on a new T, and go on. Same thing during the day; I just strip off, do a sponge bath, and put on another set of all-cotton running pants and t-shirt. Because I cannot stand anything constricting at the neck -- one too many tracheostomies, I guess -- all my Ts are either v-necked or I cut a slit in the neck, about 3 " deep.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 My night sweats aren't quite that bad, thank heaven. I've found that the oversized t's creep up and twist even more than the ones that fit. I think I must be a restless sleeper...when I sleep, LOL Kathy Re: Beds/sleeping Luv's Seating by Design; they're a local custom-furniture place. They will design almost anything you can conceive, and have thebiggest selection of upholstery fabrics I've ever seen. But, yousure can't call them cheap. ;>I used to sleep nude; but, with the drench-everything hotflashes, I was having to change the bottom sheet 2-3 times anight. Now, I just put on a new T, and go on. Same thing duringthe day; I just strip off, do a sponge bath, and put on anotherset of all-cotton running pants and t-shirt.
