Looking For A Comfortable Bed. Any Suggestions?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has a hard time getting comfortable in bed consequently he doesn't sleep well. Does anybody have a good suggestion for a mattress/bed? We're hoping a different matress might help.

Might not work for everyone but I sleep in a recliner and normally get about 5 to 6 hours of good sleep before my bladder wakes me up after going to restroom I get into our bed and sleep for a short while longer. My shoulders bother me in a bed and don't in a recliner.

I usually get out of bed a little before midnight because of "restless leg" problems. I then go downstairs and sleep on my exercise mat on the living room floor. It is easier to change positions on this hard surface than it is in our bed. After three or four hours of this I can once again go to bed. Not the best way to spend the night, but I'm not sure what else to do.

For me the answer was to get twin adjustable beds. Costly but worth it. I can raise my head and legs to any position that's comfortable. . I sleep on a hard surface ,my husband prefers the soft side I can lower or raise the bed to get in and out. If i am having movement ot tremors my husband isn't disturbed since he has his own separate mattress, requires extra long twin size sheets...

We purchased a Sleep Number Bed. I know they are "expensive" but we both can adjust our sides separately. My husband has many issues but he does sleep fairly well at night; and for that I am so very grateful.

Also look into satin sheets and pajamas. Much, much easier to turn and move.
