I'm buying a new bed. Any suggestions or recommendations?

47. Laz has Fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis -

He only had a bit of problem with the I-Comfort the first night (he said it was more like he needed to get used to it, and now thinks he misses the initial firmness!), and he never had any problems with the mattress topper, which was also a firm. If the foam is dense enough - at least 4 or 5 lbs, it spreads the body weight out across the surface so there are no pressure points. He swears by memory foam mattress toppers on normal beds; it has been the only thing that saved his sleep and sanity for the past 7 years until the new bed.

The only other regular bed he ever felt comfortable in was at the Holiday Inn Express in Las Cruces, NM. And that was after a hellish drive on the way to Albuquerque along I-10 through the Xmas snowstorms last winter, after slow traffic and multiple highway closures the entire day. He could barely make it out of the Mazda to get to the room at 8pm that night when we finally found one of the few rooms that was still available in town, and that bed was amazingly comfortable - it almost let us feel as weightless as we do on the new mattress.

Make sure you test the bed out first, no matter what you choose. If it's too soft and clingy, it won't support enough weight to take the pressure off your fibro points. A new, comfortable bed that takes the weight off the pressure points will allow you to sleep so much easier and feel better when you are going about your day.
