Trying to get a goods night sleep with my bed is next to impossible. I’m tired of the feeling so wore out before I get out of bed. Some days, I don’t want to get out of bed, but the pain and fatigue give me no choice. I usually get something to eat so I can take my pain medication. Taking pain medication on an empty stomach upsets my stomach. I would love to purchase a memory foam mattresses and a new bed frame. I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of those mattresses for aches and pains from friends online. At this point anything would be worth helping with the pain. When I purchase a new mattress I would like to purchase a bed with storage underneath it. I really like the Ottoman Storage beds from time 4 sleep. The bed lifts up so you can store sheets, blankets or even shoes away for seasonal changes. It would free up a lot of space in my linen closet, which is not much room. The bed comes in at least 5 different colors and I don’t know which color to choose. I would purchase the double sized bed. It would probably be wise to pick a color that goes with my dressers. It will take me a while to save the money for a new bed, but it would be such a relief from my pain.

I have heard of these beds. When my father was ill they wanted to have one set up in their home because he refused to go to a hospice.
They are apparently very effective for anyone with any type of chronic pain:)
If you have any type of disorder or chronic pain…I am almost certain that there are funds that are available to help support your needs.
Dorthy,
Yes hospice is wonderful. I use to work for them as a nursing assistant.

For several years I was in your situation, chronic pain & bed-wise. I had an old futon mattress that had seen better days, but I couldn’t afford a new bed.
I got a thick pad of memory foam (they are much cheaper from a “foam and fabric” type store) cut to my mattress size and put it under the mattress pad and sheet. It made such a difference! No where near as good as my (finally) new bed — but it really helped me get through.
Hope this suggestion can work for you. All the best.
Thanks for suggestion, I think I’m going to by an overlay if I can afford one.
