What type of bed do you have?

Daisy77 · September 2010

Actually, I think I'm thinking more of mattress than the bed itself. We have a queen size mattress, very comfortable, however....I feel every.single.thing. DH does.

I have struggled with being tired for as long as I can remember. I can fall asleep just fine and I don't recall getting up a lot in the middle of the night. I have had blood tests run, everything checks out (doctor wanted to rule out thyroid issues). It finally dawned on me that maybe it's *DH* who is the problem. He has been trying to get in and out of bed more carefully when I'm sleeping (midnight bathroom run or when he gets up for work). However, the man rolls over with the grace of a giant gorilla and he can't help that when he's sleeping.

The kicker? I can't fall asleep when he's not next to me (happens a lot during snowplowing season). So separate beds would be out of the question...and not our style anyway:) Does anyone have one of those mattresses where you can't feel every move your sleep partner makes? Ours isn't exactly old but I definitely wouldn't do the "wine glass/jumping on the bed" test with it, lol.

My parents had a similar problem. My dad has sleep apnea and isn't good about using his equipment so he tends to roll around all night long. He's retired but my mom still works so she was really suffering from sleep deprivation because of him. They ended up getting a Serta memory foam mattress and it has helped them a ton. They also moved to a King size so that there's more room for both of them. Their bed is really soft!!

We have a king size Tempurpedic and LOVE it! We've had it for almost 2 years now and would't trade it for the world. I can't feel when DH rolls over, gets up for the middle of the night bathroom run or even when he gets up in the morning. DH has this strange habit of shaking one foot when he falls asleep and it used to drive me NUTS, now I can't even feel that. I know they are a lot of money but a good bed is worth it to me. The average adult spends 1/3 of their life in bed.

We had the Serta memory foam mattress before the Tempurpedic. It was good and it did the trick but the Tempurpedic is more comfortable. It has more memory foam so it molds to your body a little better.

Yes we do! We have a Simmons beautyrest "mystic". The coils are individually wrapped and you can't feel movement. My dh never notices how many times I get up to pee lately. We brought it in large part for this purpose since im a wiggle butt. Also with this mattress, you could have a his and hers side with firmer or softer. We both chose the same firmness though. We have a king size. We are spoiled I guess and we can't understand how anyone sleeps in a smaller bed. We are both kinda petite too but we love our space. The mattress and box was about $1000 but it has been a great investment. You could probably find some good sales this weekend.

Another vote for Tempurpedic. We love ours! And they have a 20 year warranty.

We went to a wedding a couple of months back and our hotel had a Sleep Number Bed. We wound up liking the same number, which I guess defeated the purpose but I did find that I didn't feel his movements as much...I guess something to do with the construction of it? Also have to add that I was 30 weeks pregnant and that was the first time (and last time til delivery!) that I did not have back pain or heartburn at night. I'd definitely recommend it! We're looking at getting one when the time comes to replace our mattress.

Tempurpedic! It might be the best purchase we ever made! We got the king size so we could co sleep. I can either cuddle next to DH and DD or we can be apart enough that we have our own space completely. I don't feel DH get in and out of bed. Plus, since the mattress conforms to your body, you sleep heavier. I also fall asleep as soon as I go to bed. It is worth the price tag.

We have a Queen size pillowtop mattress and I will never buy one again because there are the two indents where we both sleep and it's higher in the middle. It ticks me off that I spent all this money on this mattress and it did this.

My parents have one of the memory foam type mattresses where you can jump up and down on one side and not feel it on the other and they love it. I've laid in it and it's really comfortable. That will be the next kind of mattress we get. They're definitely more expensive, but you'll also never have to buy another mattress again.

We have had a temperpedic since our last move in March and love it. I really wanted a king but since we move a lot we may not always have room for it so we went with the queen. It is still much better than our old regular mattress.

We have a king size Allura bed by Temperpedic. It is amazing and worth every penny.

We have a king sized Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme and it's the best bed we've ever owned. It's worth every penny we paid.

The Tempurs are super expensive, but I know that style of mattress makes all the difference. My husband and I just bought a memory foam mattress from IKEA. Not as thick as the original, but it is by far one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. I cannot feel my husband get in or out of the bed or even roll around. I would highly recommend it!

Before getting married I had a memory foam mattress and loved it. Now we have a regular Serta mattress and I hate it. We will be getting a sleep number since we slept on one recently and I was able to fall asleep without pillows! In my book that says a lot! I also like they have a very large size which we will be purchasing since we allow our LO to co-sleep whenever she likes and we need the room!
