Sally, think you're right. PP and SP are scarey. Like "abandon ye all hope".
It's a different can of worms. I pushed me (and DH) a little further tonight, got to buy some stocking stuffers and diffusers(scents) I wanted. I needto speak up for things.

Kicker - What kind of mattress do you have?
We want a Tempur-pedic but that is on the "wish list" along with a dishwasher! I am not sure how easy it is to turn around in the bed but there is a 90 day guarantee. My problem is where to put my "old" mattress when trying the tempur-pedic. |

I have heard that the full Tempurpedic can be hard to move around in and also hard to get out of. The foam material also is HOT, which some do not like at all!

I have a fake tempur --pedic (still cost about $1500), and it does take some effort to turn over. It also gets rather hot in the spring/summer. I bought it about 3 months prior to first ms flare. My sis has an authentic one, and she loved it when she was pregnant. She says you do not feel the need to roll over much. But it too is hot.

We have a hard (firm) mattress DH picked out for his back. Even so I have trouble rolling over, swear cotton undies stick like velcro to cotton sheets and down quit and piecemeal quilt (needed in the winter cold here) are heavy to me. I fear therapudic will be too warm ( In summer I hate A/C at night, depend on ceiling fan and open window) but dislike HARD mattress. DD swears by down topper she has. I should borrow for a few nights.

My husband had to grab my legs and pull me out of those beds every time we hit one at a hotel. I wouldn't have one in my house if it were given to me. gmi |

The last one I bought is what I have cut up to use in my manual wheel chair. I put 4 layers in the seat and it is so much more comfortable that any of the wc cushions I have sat on. gmi |

DD tells me her down mattress topper would be terrible for me when I tried to turn.
