Some people swear the a Cuddle Ewe is the way to go. I couldn;t afford it so I ordered a foam topper from Costcco.com It was 1/3 of the price and It really worked for me. Plus they delivered. I didn't have to drag it to my car.

I got one of those memory foam mattress toppers from Costco, too. It made a big improvement in my constant waking from pain. About $200.00. It's like sleeping on a cloud! I also got a memory foam pillow.

i myself foaled a douna in half and placed it under the sheets and sleep with a soft pillow between my knees to take presser off my hips

Thanks for replying! I will check it out!

No more flipping the mattress vertically and then horizontally once a week for me ! I've gone to an airbed and love it ! It's like a sleep number. Can't imagine anything but !

I have a sleep number and love it. I also sleep with a flattish pillow between my knees.

i have been able to get out of the bed with no more " pain that I had when sleeping and sometimes with less.

it has been fantastic!

I can't really afford a sleep number bed so I am thinking about getting a foam topper. I am overweight so should I probably get the 4 in??
Thanks!

If your mattress is used on the two sides and is no longer firm straight across, Is a costco topper still good?

Sorry to jump in your thread but I will be buying a mattress or topper because of this thread I need to ask just one more question? Which topper from costco? They have 16 types on the web.
Again thanks for letting me jump in.

You're not cutting in! You're part of the discussion! I wondered about that too...My mattress is 11 years old and I have to flip it every couple of weeks. My husband passed away and I can't flip it alone so I went ahead and ordered a brand new mattress. I got one for 1/2 price at Sears. They are half off this weekend and if it's over $500 they take an extra 10%. I hope I like it! It is a sealy posturpedic Kason Bay Euro top......I think...ha! I hope you find one that helps you.

I was thinking about a foam topper as well, however, I have read on other fibro forums that hospital beds have made a big difference with pain and fatigue. I was wondering if anyone has tried a hospital bed, maybe a hospital bed with a topper could work wonders. lol

I love my tempurpedic bed. "not" a competitor, but the real brand. It is the only thing i can sleep on and keep my legs stretched out without pain. Only hurts when i roll over.

I tried a generic brand and unfortunately the formaldyhide in it made me horribly sick and then it sank so much i got stuck in it.

I LOVE my bed.

I suggest you go to the bed store and lay on them to pick the best for you. Never buy a matress blind.

We have a fairly decent mattress, but since I was dx'd with fibro, I find it too hard. I purchased a down alternative topper, and we love it! I do shake it out periodically in order to fluff it a bit.

It didn't cost that much. Sorry, I don't remember what I paid for it...around $50 or so?? I got it at Marshalls, which is alot like TJ Maxx.

Oh, and we did try a foam topper first, but I did not find it as helpful as this new topper!

HTH....

We paid all that money for a sleep # bed and it really hasn't helped. I wake up feeling like a brittle old piece of paper. I'm so glad to hear that it works for someone. I'm here wishing I had not been so desperate and done more research.
I sleep on the couch alot now. It's cushy foam cushions seem to work better for comfortable sleep and getting up in the morning.

I swear by my waterbed, it is the perfect temp for my body and it can be filled to the level of hardness or softness that feels best to your body.
