Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I thought this would be a bizarre topic for the PAI forum but who of all groups spends a ton of time in bed. Okay...I am sure we could get silly with this but... I don't think anyone in this group would be shocked to hear I am sleeping in the guestroom. It is dark and cozy whereas the master room is bright and cheery with a huge darling restless oaf in the bed. The problem is the mattress in the " Cave " is a cheap daybed mattress that is killing my now skinny hipbones. Can't afford the mattress I want - $2,200.00! Ah, a girl can dream. So, have any of you tried the poofy mattress pads? They have foam, quilted, down, futon type. Don't know what to look for. I only have today and tomorrow to shop, as I am sure I will be paralyzed with fear on Tuesday. I apologize if this is way too far off topic. My hip bones thank you for any advice.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Carol, My daughter, Nikki, has rheumatoid arthritis and has a good deal of trouble with pain in her neck and shoulders. She was sleeping on the mattress that had been mine and my husband's before we bought a king size bed. The mattress was not an expensive one when we bought it and we slept on it for about 10 years before passing it to Nikki. She'd had it for about 4 years or so and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a new mattress. She got it financed on one of the 12 months, same as cash deals and I helped her make the payments. She and I talked and decided that even though she couldn't go with top of the line, she certainly needed to get a good mattress. She bought it around Christmas and knew that it would be the mattress that both she and would sleep on once they were married and until they had a larger bedroom and could afford to move up from a full size bed. She got a really nice mattress with the 'pillow top'. She paid around $550 for full size. She said it made a world of difference in her neck, shoulder, and back pain. She definitely thinks the pillow top is part of what helps. good luck! W alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
