beds and sleeping, reclining chairs

[Guest guest]

Hi group,

I agree that sleeping in a chair may not be the best answer. I spend the first

3-4 hours of the night in a bed. When I wake up to use the bathroom, my back is

sore at this time and I then transfer to the reclining chair, which I fully

recline most of the time so it's almost like sleeping in a bed.

I am also a very light sleeper and have slept in a separate bed (and room) from

my wife for the last 17 years or so. The sounds of breathing keep me awake and I

will literally toss and turn and be mostly awake for the whole night when we

stay in a hotel, unless it has a couch I can use. I call it the " vacation

penalty " ; lousy sleep and increased pain due to not having the distraction of

work to help manage the headaches.

I am intrigued by all the ads for Select Comfort beds, and how they supposedly

have reduced or eliminated back pain. I am considering purchasing one in a few

months when finances allow.

Thanks again for the feedback about beds and sleeping.

Hi,

Not sure if i'm doing this the right way, i just joined today...

On your mattress purchase, I just did a lot of research on them for my back, and

did buy a new mattress. The last two we had were pillow tops, and they were ok

at first then, they started to sag, the last one was only a few years old.

I did try out a select comfort in a store, it felt good, but it's an air bed.

Then from a UPS man that talked to my husband he said he returns them all the

time, so I gave up on that idea.

After reading more information, we bought a Serta FIRM no Pillow top " King Size

bed. I love it, and my husband has back problems also.

This is our first King size bed, and I don't know why after 42 years of marriage

we didn't have one before. There is no movement when you roll over, or get out

of bed, sometimes I have to look to see if he is still in bed.

I hope this helps you decide, and good luck.  Any questions please feel free to

ask.

Not many beds work for my back. I went to a place and did a test thing. On what

works for my back. If i would have that mattress. Would be a lot of money. Would

be nice to have some thing that would help my back. Have not had much luck.

Glenn,

I have always laid on all beds before buying the one I did. My husband was

embarressed but I insisted we both lie down, turn over, and vote on it.

The only thing we didn't bring who lie in our beds is the two dogs and cat. lol
