One of the hardest things about living with chronic pain is not being able to sleep well. I have struggled with sleeping for a long time. I fall asleep and then I wake up or I can not sleep at all. I am way over due for a new bed. It’s got to the point that we keep turning the bed to get comfortable. It helps for one day and then I am back to not being able to sleep. I go to bed with my heating pad for my many aches and pains a lot. I will be glad when I can afford to buy a new bed. I would really like to buy a bed that has some storage in it. The ottoman beds are really nice for storage because you lift the mattress up to store your things. If I had extra storage I could store my winter clothes in the bed storage during the winter and have extra space in my closet. This would make it so I would have more space in my closet and would not have to cram clothes in the closet, not that I have a lot of clothes. I like a bed that looks nice and is comfortable, but comfort is most important to me. I think I will buy a bed with storage next time I have to purchase a new bed. I really like a bed that’s a medium wood color. I don’t like it when the bed is a really dark color. Right now my bed room furniture is way overdue to be replaced because it got beat up in a move.

I deal with chronic pain, too. Mine is pretty much limited to hands and feet. I also have the best mattress in the world. It’s a Select Comfort. I used to have a lot of neck pain, but that’s gone away since we got the new bed about 10 years ago. I think you’d love it, too.
I’m going to make a recommendation that I’ve gotten a lot of help from for my chronic pain. NOT that the doctors would agree to it… but hey, if you can find a way to try it and it helps? I refuse to give mine up.
It’s a waterbed. And it’s NOT the soft-side kind. It’s the old-fashioned kind. You can get the mattress filled with fiber in addition to the water to reduce the motion and reduce the issue that comes from sleeping two people in the bed. But, the best part is that it’s heated. It’s like sleeping on a heating pad & it draws my pain out.
Just a thought.
yes indeed i am agree to find a good bed so we can sleep well. in my experience, before i go to bed, usually i that meditations to make my body relax, maybe for 10 – 15 minutes. and after my body relax, then i try to close my eyes with some pray to GOD and thank you that i was be given a good day. then i dont remember anything hehehe its make me sleep well.
Wow, cool post. Anyway, thanks for the visit and happy new year to you and your family.:)
