Common Questions and Answers about Sit and sleep mattress
sleep
I have extreme hand and arm pain when I sit for too long. But, the worst is when I sleep. I know that I have some issues with herinated disc in my low back but my pain is my neck and upper back, most certainly arms and hands.
I wake nightly with extreme pain. I have been trying everything, mattress change, craftmatic bed, now softer mattress. Of course pain medications nothing seems to help. I can barely sleep without medication.
We have them side by side, but we each have our own controls. After sleeping on this mattress I can not sleep on a regular pillow top mattress. The Tempur-pedic mattress forms around your body but still firm enough not to cause backaches. All three of our children have replaced their beds for the Tempur-pedic . They are a little costly but so well worth every penny.
My husband and I both have trouble with our bodies and pain. We decided to purchase a Tempurpedic bed and it has helped our sleep. I also have a Tempurpedic pillow, which is good too. I am very picky about pillows. I have one though that has stuffing on one side and the memory foam on the other. It is very helpful for sore bodies.
We bought a generic version mattress though, made by a local mattress maker, so the price was a lot less, but the quality was just as good.
I could only sleep for about 4 hrs every night. If I wanted to sleep more, I need to get up and sit/walk around for roughly 30 mins until the tiredness goes away, then go back to bed. Recently, the condition had gotten worse. The tiredness turned into pain, pain of the back muscle and the spinal cord, sometimes feels like my spine will break. I've casually asked my family doctor about this condition and she doesn't seem to know what's going on.
Hey Quix,
I had this question posted to Lu, but she said this is probably you. A while back in the post or poll about sleeping problems by I think Dr Park, you had stated that you sleep in a recliner, and have been I think you said 3 yrs. If that is the post and that is what you had said and I got it correct, my questions to you are, What happens when you try to sleep in a bed? Is this because of ms? Have you found out any answers from your Dr's as to what or why this is the case.
Take your temp if you think you could be. But really that sounds 100% normal of end of the pregnancy. Most women are miserable at the end. I am, I don't sleep and feel like I can't breath even though I know I am. I can't even sit at the dinner table anymore. Sigh baby bigger so yes movements can hurt etc. I would be more worried if there were no movements. Air mattress or real matteress might not matter.
I tried a popular mattress in the Hyatt Regency several times. The well advertised mattress is extremely comfortable and I can sleep on it. However the king size costs 3k and after purchasing the other mattresses I am stuck with what I have. I don't want to plug a product on the board....but I assume you can guess what mattress I am talking about. ....So I sleep on the couch also.
Sleeping on the couch supports your back.
For about two weeks now, I've been getting itchy hives whenever I lay on my bed or sit on the sofa. Mind you, my husband and children sleep and sit on that same bed and sofa and don't get the hives. I don't feel as if I am getting bit by anything--my initial thought was maybe it was caused by dust mites, but the mattress has been covered and I haven't noticed any...and I am the only one getting the hives.
Or it could be something as simple as your mattress. How old is your mattress? My back pain (and hip) eased up a lot when I bought a new mattress. You could try the pillow-tops you can buy; they can be pretty good. Are you using an OTC medication? If you can't improve your sleep by some of these methods, you can see your doctor to see what they suggest.
Also, sleeping with a pillow between your legs can help ease back pain.
when im not preggers i sleep in every position possible, so i cant wait to sleep on my back and tummy again!!!! i wake up supper sore through the night and sometimes have to put four pillows behind me to sleep sitting up to give my hips and lower back a break.
I have to say nights can be the worst time of day for me.
Take frequent breaks and sit/stand with proper pelvic posture (sit in your hips not slouched on tailbone).
What's the most comfortable bed you've slept in while pregnant? I'm buying a mattress for the first time.
I added an additional memory foam layer to the new Sealy mattress that I bought and it is very comfortable and very supportive. I can actually sleep on my back again with no pain (don't forget to put a pillow underneath your legs though). I am very satisfied with my purchase. Good luck on finding a mattress.
