Are you talking about the tempurpedic mattress?

That will be the next one I buy, for sure. I slept on one in a hotel a couple of years ago and it was like sleeping on a cloud.

That's the one. Wow, glad to hear it. Oh great, and there's an ad for them to the right of this post right now. Thanks for the reply.

Must be the Tempur-Pedic or the Sleep Number bed you are talking about. Tempur-pedic is all foam I think, while sleep number has a foam top you can put on it. Whatever the case, I too, wake up in a lot of pain. I would really love to try the sleep number bed, but its almost $2ooo for the top of the line one I want...lol. Good luck with bed-hunting! Oh, One suggestion, I do sit with my heating pad before bed to relax those muscles and it seems to help. Hugsssssss....Dawn

My next one is going to be the Sleep Number Mattress But The TemperPedic Matteress is supposed to be great for fibro I hope this helps I so dislike my matteress as well I have to wait for a bit till I can buy a new one...Many gentle hugs too you!!!!!!!!!

I hear good things about the Temper Pedic one but it is really costly.

We have a select comfort mattress. I think right now is the same thing as the sleep #. I cannot tell u how much we love it. It was a very good investment. When we bought ours they shipped it to you, allowed u to use it for i think 30 days, if u didnt like it u could send it back. I beleive if you go to their website u can request a video for free. I also recommend their pillows. They have about 5 or 6 different pillows, i bought one, its almost 3 years old and is in just as good of shape as the day i bought it, and is wonderful for my neck pain.
Now our mall has a select comfort store, so maybe u can see if there is one near u, u can go in and try them out. We have a lifetime warrenty on our select comfort mattress, that came with it, we didnt pay extra for that warrenty.

I got my Simmons Beautyrest almost 10 years ago, long before the FM. It's still a good mattress. We make it as comfy as possible with the higher thread count sheets, the as-plush-as possible bedding and the down pillows.

When I was at that hotel, it was one of Marriot's Laura Ashley rooms with the upper-scale bedding, pillows, decor, etc.

Man, that was so super comfy, I didn't want to get out of bed. I pushed it all the way until check-out time.

Thank you all so much for your help. I know I hate to spend so much money, but will be worth it in the long run.

Kabelle, I"m with you. I have learned to get the softest sheets and everything must me cushy and soft, even my clothes. I had to laugh about you not wanting to leave the luxurious hotel room. I would milk it too! sue

My mattress is just that...a mattress and to boot an air mattress that while me and my boyfriend are looking for a new place I sleep on with my doggie son in a little office room off to the side of my parents kitchen!

In the mornings my dad steps ALL OVER it to get back and fourth to his computer and at this point by morning it turns into either a pancake or a water bed feeling! The floor is a slab of concrete with what appears to be a child's daycare style flat flat carpet on it in an older 60's style home! So I am ALWAYS waking up either to pump it up sooooo hard as to not get the flat pancake or waterbed feeling in the morning OR waking up every time I'm bounced off the bed by someone walking over it back and fourth at 6am! Serious!

You think my back was shot before this? Plus I have insomnia because of this symptom riddled disease and others on top of it, so by 6am when my dad starts trampling over my mattress, well, I barely got any sleep up until then or slept on and off through the night! UGGH!

I'm not trying to say poor me in the least! Just wanted you to see that maybe you can count your blessings you have it better than some!

And even still...so you can see that I REALLY understand having a crappy crappy mattress and how bad it makes you feel when you feel really bad to start with with a disease you never asked for to begin with!

OK! Maybe I added a little venting for good measure! Hehe! Pains just been REALLY REALLY bad lately!

Take care,
Stay sane!

AZ, look at it this way:

You might put out some big bucks in the short run, but if you get 15-20 years out of a good quality mattress AND you get that many years of good quality sleep, it might be worth it to spend as much as you can possibly afford on your mattress.

Good quality sleep has been proven to help with FM symptoms and that's what we are all striving for anyway.

Okay, I don't own stock in the mattress companies and this isn't my own "but wait there's more" commercial for them. If I was in the market for a new mattress anyway, I would definitiely look at the one's discussed here. It's not something you'll be tossing out in the next few years -- it will be with you for at least a decade or more. You also spend 6-8 hours of your day (or more) on your mattress, so you look at it as an investment.

Okay, I'm done with the infomercial.

I have the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed with the adjustible foundation, which works like a hospital bed. Push a button on the remote to change the position, head, feet, both.. It has preselected settings or you can choose exactly where you want each section to be. I almost also use setting three, which is the top half up and the lower portion raised under my knees. Perfect for reading, TV or the laptap. One push on the remote and it goes flat. And sooo comfy. I have the top of the line queen size pillow top with dual remotes and it is imo, the best bed in the world!!They are pricy, but it is the best investment I've ever made. I honestly don't know how I would survive without it. One word of caution, you really need to go to one of the stores WITH your partner and try before you buy. They advertise you can set each side to your own number, and of course you can do that, But it is NOT comfortable if there is much of a difference between the two numbers. Imagine two mattresses side by side, one at one height, the other a couple inches(or more) lower. That makes a ledge or drop off, and that's what happens with a big diff in the numbers. The person on the firmer, higher side keeps rolling off the 'ledge'! and forget cuddling in the middle of the bed! I sleep alone, so no problem for me, but I think if you share the bed you need to see if you can agree on a number you can both be comfortable with, in which case you can go with the single remote model and save money. At least you need to find a happy medium without alot of diff in the two numbers. Aside from that, go for it, it is a wonderful bed!

P.S...WELL! It IS one of those more expensive blow up mattresses with the built in LOUD pump system AND the fact that people keep trampling ALL OVER IT has caused it to basically be popped and that's why now it gets that pancake and or water bed feeling!

The fact my pain level is REALLY bad ONLY shows that my pain level is REALLY bad! The popped bed is the straw that is only adding to breaking this camels back!

I just wanted to share that because I forgot to mention that the pancake and water bed feeling was because the walking on the mattress has popped it basically!

Take care,
Stay sane!

Sorry blue mist That bed and situation sounds terrible. Me I can only dream of having a nice comfy bed or fancy sheets either for that matter. Oh well we can still dream eh. For those who can afford it I say go for it!!!

I think that if you are going to buy a bed at all, you should look into the sleep number. You can adjust the firmness everyday to whatever your body is feeling like that day

they actually advertise that the temur pedic is great for fibro...but, i did sleeo on one...and tho it felt good to lay on it..I had to wake Up and move I was rather sunk down into the bed...we were going to buy one til that point.
