Bed Issues...rant.

We just set up my husband's Bob-O-Pedic foam mattress in the guest bedroom upstairs. I hate it, but he complains that it's the only kind of mattress that doesn't give him back problems. Problem is, it gives ME back problems and since I'm pregnant, I win. We have my regular Sealy in our room right now and I LOVE IT.

Here's the thing, I think he's secretly planning on waiting until I fall asleep and sneaking into the guest bedroom for a better nights' sleep!

Give him permission to sleep on his mattress, just ask that he snuggle with you for a bit every night before turning into bed himself.  I wouldn't want my husband to suffer (plus he is a bear when he is sick or in pain) when there is a simple solution.

Have you tried maybe putting a board under your side of the bed to firm your side up a bit? I dont know if that works with memory foam but its worth a shot.

And I agree with the PP that said to let him sleep in the bed he likes as long as he spends a little time with you before you fall asleep. Why would you not want him to get a good nights rest if its possible?

When I was pregnant with DD, especially farther along, DH would sneak off to the living room a lot.  I have really bad sinus issues as it is, plus being pregnant, I snored and kept him up.  And apparently I tossed and turned all night, and froze him with the fans, etc...  It was just easier if we didn't always sleep together.  But he always started out in our bed with me.
