COLD DARK ROOM

good start to the week... the lad in the cafe never charged me for my extra expresso shot and gave me 2 stamps on loyalty card

Good morning.
I spent a good portion of yesterday looking at and purchasing two new mattresses for our bedrooms.( I switched over to the gel "memory foam" types.)
hopefully, it will help me/us get some sleep. And stop my back from hurting.
The price of the things alone would likely keep me awake for a few nights.
When did they get so expensive? Maybe I'm just cheap.
(I guess it's been a while since I bought any bedding.)

I've found the less I sleep, the less my back aches. If I keep moving, it doesn't have time to stiffen up.

sorry to hear your not sleeping to well . did you get results back from the heart monitor? our bed cost us a grand ( £1000) but the way i see it you spend half your life on it so it's worth it

Hello, John.
No. So far, I've heard nothing. I take it as good news.

It helps if you sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees. If you must sleep on your side put a pillow between your knees.
It can really help.
I struggle with an aching back while sleeping too! It sucks. I use my upper body to turn over as well.
I hope get some relief.

Let me know how the mattress is. I also have back aches, sometimes while im sleeping due to my scoliosis . I got a firm cushion too mattress so its soft but still gives some support but it still aches some mornings.

I'm a side sleeper.
I may fall asleep in any position, but I always wake up on my side. I have one of those long "body" pillows and I wrap an arm and a leg over it.

How IS that ankle?
Is it in the joint?
Injuries like that can get much worse.

They are Sealy Destiny "gold" gel foam mattresses.
They arrive Thursday and I'm hoping that they live up to the ratings I've read about them.
Supposedly all of the old issues, like getting hot at night and sagging foam have been rectified.
My ex wife has scoliosis. Rough. Sorry to hear that.

im usually a side sleeper, i flip sides often throughout the night. Some times i do sleep on my back and this is when it hurts. I have a "boyfriend" which is suppose to be useful for this arm and leg wrapping but he apparently has a body pillow (its his moms pillow he took from her when he moved out.... we refer to it as "your/my mama's pillow") of his own, therefore not needing me and leaving me out to comfort myself.

Sounds familiar. My wife and I sleep apart due to our work schedules not being the same.
Besides, I snore and she talks in her sleep.

my boyfriend snores when he's had too much to drink, I make noises in my sleep.. and always look mad. so i think theres understanding.
