Beds (Aches & Pains) - Obesity Message Board

I am 365 lbs and am looking to purchase a bed that will allow me to get a good nights sleep without waking in the morning to back & hip pains. Does anyone have any advise on a good Bed/Mattress system?

Thank you!
Matt

I'm not as heavy as you, but I have found my tempur-pedic mattress to be wonderful. I used to have back and hip aches, but not since switching (2 years). The bed can be "extra firm" to the touch (if your keep your house cool) when you first get in, but your body heat warms it immediately and it shapes to your body.

It comes with a 90 day trial, give it a whorl, I think you'll like it.

I also stayed 2 nights in a hotel in Reno that had a "number" bed, I thought that was pretty nice also.

My sister has a tempur-pedic and when I laid in it (and I mean laid IN IT) it felt great but I wonder about becoming over heated due to the foam. My father has the sleep number bed and swears by it. I just want more opinions because these beds are expensive and I will have to try them out also.

Hi i also had the same problems could not walk in the mornings i too weighed in at 330lbs i purchased a Relyon memory foam mattress and a wooden slatted base i went for the deluxe mattress as it is firmer the softer one seems to feel as if you are rolling off however i have slept like a log since.
