I hear ya on that one!!!! I spent like 2k on my last set (simmons beautyrest pillow, king size)... probably due for another onein about a year or two... we'll be swapping to a different brand at that time... fwiw - a good mattress is worth much more than a few good nights sleep, it makes you feel much better all day long... over the course of the 10-15yr life of a good mattress it seems a pittance to spend that much for the amount of benefit you get from it...
You shouldn't let your lab go out drinking! I sleep on my back, my sides, face planted... on the floor, a chair... but I toss and turn where ever I am. My sheet looks like a rope in the morning. Obviously I don't have to worry about a ball stomp but my shoulder goes back and forth between pain and my whole arm going numb so I can't ever really get comfortable. Kendall can practically sleep while standing.. and no matter what position he's in... he snores. Loudly. Which is why I have my own bedroom. :D
Exactly! It amounts to less than $200 a year and the health benefits are worth more. Think about it, if you sleep in bed 6 hours a night you spend one fourth of your life on that mattress. It will have a physical effect on your body and on your health.
Thats it then guys, I am putting this on and getting the 1K I need to buy a new mattress. See you guys in a couple of hours......
Ever try the drug Ambien there could be a circus going in your bed room, Best sleep ever even on a bed of thorns.
Ultra, I tried sleep meds for one month a couple of years ago. I slept great. BUT I heard that it is unwise to become reliant on sleeping medication. So even though I slept better than ever I never went back to get more. I am not on any medication and I would like to keep it that way.
I can sleep anywhere, any time, any position. No problems in the sleeping department. Now, staying awake is another deal.
I can understand that, when i got older i ended up getting all the things my father had as i was growing up, Diabetes,Heart disease, Lower back problems,added to the fact of evel knievel life style i was into left me with a booklet of what not to do,and the pain and ware on my body that get worse as i get older,drugs are the only reason i am alive @ 48 I hate taking them but i have to.not a option for me at this point.
I understand that ultra. I have beaten my body down as well and I am turning 37 this year. I am starting to feel a bit more pain in my body as compared to just a few years ago.
wait til the 40's come bro... you best to get in shape now and stay moving... motion is natures joint lubricant...
I usually fall asleep sleeping on my back. Then it's side to side throughout the night with a pillow between the legs. I can never sleep on my stomach. I also used to (still do once in awhile) have some serious sleeping disorders.
I sleep one way, in the spoon position. I spoon the wife and fall asleep. I use a pillow when she's gone.
Are you able to do "this" in bed? you wouldnt believe some of things I can do :D On a serious note,,sleeping on my stomach wouldnt work for me, it would kill my back.
I can sleep on the floor, chair or anywhere. I can fall a sleep faster with loud noises... such as vaccum, TV, music and ect... Wife won't let me sleep on my back cause I snore. I tell her I snore so she wakes up and takes advantage of me while I sleep. In bed, I usually sleep on my side or the other side. My back if I can get away from it. I can not sleep on my stomache. Tend to have nightmares when sleeping on my back. Don't know why but it has been that way since I was a kid. Tim
I've been sleeping on my stomach for YEARS! Until recently, I've tried sleeping on my back and I've been getting better sleep. It seems so unnatural to me. Throughout the night, I somehow end up back on my stomach. Rybo...I do the arms under me thing too.
