OK so it's 04:14 and I'm still kind of awake sighs, I'm looking at buying a new mattress and wondered if any of you lovely people had any ideas on which type that would be suitable in helping me get a really good nights sleep? 😀 Thankyou
Well when I first had Fibromyalgia I went out bought a Temperpedic Mattress and didnโt buy the deal if it doesnโt work out you can return it. Well that was a mistake, I tried to sleep ๐ด on that mattress over and over but it seemed to hit every pressure point when I turned. Needless to say I donโt sleep ๐ค in in it any longer, my poor hubby! Just make sure you really check them out good at the store, I didnโt thatโs where I made my mistake.
Try a memory foam mattress hun they are so comfy with Fibromyalgia
We bought an electric bed and mattress last year, it was pricey but sooo worth it, wherever your pain is playing havoc you can move your mattress to help, I always have the end up and the top slightly up so thereโs no weight on my lower back.I .i sleep like a baby now, not good before ...itโs a queen bed..my husband doesnโt mind which way I have it..but you can buy king singles that go together..so each of you can move whatever way you want....they only come with the best quality mattresses too..hope it helps..be blessed and have a good day.๐๐๐๐
Sorry jazzy forgot...you must get the Tempura mattress...itโs like a cloud..soft and fluffy๐
I was thinking of trying the 100 days and if it wasn't for me return it, so expensive though, I've got a cool topper on my old mattress at the moment it kind of masks the bumps in the old thing for the moment, would that be an idea for you to get a plush topper? xx
Would you recommend the cool touch with our adversity to heat and managing temp changes? xx
Keep looking on EBay and so forth to see if anyone is selling one off a bit cheaper, cos as you say they are expensive to say the least, and with a tempura mattress that will push it up through the roof although worth it, in the end with all the bits and pieces works out about the same price as a small car? xx
Are you in Australia kazzyโโ
If you are in Oz, we bought ours at Harvey Norman 1/2 price end of financial year sale, off the floor, there are new cheap ones out there even just a tempura mattress was half price too without the electric bed..๐๐๐๐๐
Morning Christine, no not in Australia, am other side of the world in the UK, there are bargains and cash back to be had here too, its just catching them at the right time xx
My doctor is a physical therapist and I asked him we had a big pillow top king bed but it was just to hard for my back he suggested for me to get something soft so I got a really nice thick pillow top mattress and itโs kikr sleeping on a cloud I think the best thing to do is try a few out go bed shopping a lay on a few and some even do money back if your not happy I think for fibromyalgia we need soft for pressure points I also have a bamboo mattress protector wishing you all the best try before you buy ๐โค๏ธ
Yeah know what you mean...maybe a nice mattress topper...donโt know if the sell them in tempura..qqqq..๐๐๐๐๐ I immigrated here from UK in the late fifties with my family...๐
Have been looking around and found a what they call a 3d effect medium cool memory foam mattress, at an amazing knock down price under ยฃ200 for a king size 5ft, originally ยฃ799 minimum, well as you can imagine, am going to give it a try at that price xx
Thanks Donna, I think because we suffer with back pain we automatically think we need to sleep on something hard, ie a firm ortho, made that mistake miself in the past too. The top ever mattress I've slept on though I have to say and would pay just for a night to sleep on one is the Hypnos, the one Premier Inn use, wow it's like a mattress comfort blanket sleeping tablet rocker all in one amazing lol xx
Go for it, sounds great...good price too, what a bargain, well done you..hope you like it and works well for you kazzy, be blessed and have a wonderful day and sleep..๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Absolutely you would think a firm ortho mattress would be good I also suffer really bad back pain and since getting a softer mattress it has changed my back pain the mattress topper I bought to put over the top mattress I got from the Groupon app bamboo topper itโs really beautiful to sleep on and just adds that extra softness the firm mattress we had that was a orthopaedic especially for back was just to hard on my pressure points my back has never felt better but I do have acupuncture done and my pain medication helps I take one before bed and one when I wake up fibromyalgia seriously sucks โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
I must be different as have tried all the memory type mattresses but ended up with a form orthopaedic one from John Lewis. Still find sleep a challenge though. I try to go to bed when really tired and seem to go off ok but not for long.
I have bought a bed with memory foam mattress..itโs help with my pains and more comfortable..with normal mattress..also plenty of pillows!!
Hope it helps!!
