I am having such difficulty sleepy. I can only lay on one side for a little while. To turn over I have to sit up, shuffle round and lay back down. It means that I wake up a lot. I
although I have pain in a lot of joints the worse ones in bed ar eth my shoulders and hips and sometimes in the spine.
I have been told that memory foam or gel mattresses would help this. Anyone got any preferences or suggestions.
Thanks
After a couple different style mattresses, and no relief, I tried a pregnancy pillow. It has made a huge difference for me! I sleep on my side. It is a pillow for my head. Support for my back, and curls up between my knees. I can't say I still don't wake up a little stiff, but way better than before. I sleep through the night a lot more also.
Memory foam is somewhat relieving, but the air bed is the best bet. You can adjust the firmness to what feels best for you. I have the Select Comfort brand, but there are less expensive ones, too. I also have an adjustable bed frame, which was a lifesaver for me. My feet and back are so bad, I work on the computer from bed and spend the majority of my time here. It allows me to sit up without my feet swelling, and yet I can adjust it down to watch TV.
You can get a memory foam topper for you current mattress and see if that makes a difference. I have one on my bed and it eases my sore hips.
I have tried several and find that as time goes on, I have more and more difficulty sleeping. I can't seem to find a comfy position. However, I do find the love seat to be semi comfy.
Memory foam! ....
