@Silver.
What kind things to say. Thank you! Those dang red flags. I'm almost 50 and I hope to be able to listen to them better! I had given up entirely on getting a mattress but am coming around again. Hopefully will feel more open to it if/once I get the money back. I can't afford a Tempur at the usual price.

Hahaha! Blush. Thank you. You are so sweet. The gift amount was over £500. :( Not a small amount of money. It would be much easier if it only effected me.
That dang button!! :p :alien:

My sofa is pretty comfortable if small. I do need to be sitting upright to fit on. I can't recall exactly but I think its around 6 years I have been sleeping in the living room. I find beds difficult (they up my symptoms) and I like the living room as I can access two external doors. Its helpful to me. And the television helps with sleep. I hope you find something that will help you more than your current situation. Its good you have your lovely dog.

I'm starting to believe that now. They do have exclusions and I had serious doubts as to whether I was covered. I thought I was at the time I paid but then wasn't at all sure. The cheek of the man. He told me to start a case with Paypal but I had done so way before that,. If I do get it all back I will be very impressed with both paypal and the bank. Just hope the police get him. It made me think of those cons who especially go after the elderly. I can't imagine how someone would feel in a situation like that.

@Abstract, have you, or anyone, try something like this instead of a tempurpedic?

Or this:

There's so many. Its a floor recliner but you can put it up on a bed and adjust how much you recline. I dont know if im going for it but ANYTHING to get me back on the bed and I cant afford a tempurpedic either or the knock offs ive found on amazon are over a grand. This, I was thinking, might be a good option instead.

I might make a thread about it to see if anyone has tried it in place of a tempurpedic or like what an adjustable bed like a hospital has (serta has them too and other brands).

Thought id see it was worth it as i cant really go off comments there as most are using it as a chair. Im using it so i can sleep in my bed but keep all my weight on my butt while sleeping.

I have to have one that is long enough to keep my feet from bending off of the end as that would really hurt and there was one that looked great but i think i need the arms as i'll roll off unless its maybe this one:

And then sleep in the middle? I dont know, what do you (y'all) think?

I feel ashamed of myself. I should have known better, I have multiple pain conditions that mean I hav...

Many of us feel that way because a lot of us have PTSD from people who tried to con us and abused us. I totally understand that.

@Abstract I too have a couple of "pain" disorders, and sleep is so important. Not only for the pain, but anxiety flares up when I don't get enough sleep. My mattress was shit. Long story, I won't get into, but I needed a mattress so I bought a cheap one at Walmart 2 yrs ago. I've woken up with a backache for 2 yrs too.

So I have been searching. In stores and online. I kept coming back to this one site, over and over again. Tuft and Needle. For several weeks, I would search, research, and I would always go back to their website. I think the thing that sold me was the 100 night guarantee, full refund, and they DONATE the mattress if you don't like it. They actually call Salvation Army to haul it away, and they give you a full refund if you don't like the mattress. And the best part...... Their mattresses are about 1/2 price of most out there. Also.... Their customer service is outstanding. They are based in AZ, and their mattress is made in the US.

If had my mattress for 2 days, and so far..... It's good, I really am beginning to like it. I didn't think it was going to be supportive enough, because when I SAT on it, I felt like it gave too much.. But lying down its supportive.

Anyways, just thought I would chime in.....
