Re: Question- Beds?

[Guest guest]

This is an area of many opinions. I tried lots of different beds,

and finally settled on an adjustable Tempurpedic. One of my main

problems was getting propped up with pillows and then getting

jostled when Dale moved. He can jump on the 'new' mattress, and I

don't feel a thing. No bouncing!

The foam toppers don't compare to the bed at all, I found. When the

bed arrived(in winter)it was as hard as a rock, lol..but got better

as it warmed and over time.

This is a highly individual choice, as we all have varying degrees

of joint problem areas. Without the adjustible feature any bed would

be useless to me. If I was to do it over again, I'd get a bed with

separate sides. Our bedroom set is antique, however, and could only

fit a queen. I've managed to return to bed on a regular basis,

though still have trouble staying all night.

Though it does cost a bit to do, the trial period is a valuable tool

for folks like us. One must keep in mind that beds may 'break in' a

bit when new, though a month or so is probably long enough to

determine if it's suitable for you. Most of the specialized beds

have this trial option.

We were fortunate in that the same mattress was well suited to us

both, and were able to save a bit over some of the air mattress

sets. They also didn't fit into our frame, and I wasn't willing to

give it up. But what has been a God-send for me may be uncomfortable

for you.

Have fun shopping, and trying beds. It always makes us giggle,

though we've been married forever..
