am new to this website so here goes i found you guys when i went on google and typed in seniors sleeping in recliners , i too am sleeping in a recliner and do not really know why i cannot sleep in a bed like normal people. i have arthritis in the knee and the only way i can get relief from the stiffness and pain of the knee is sleep in the recliner, but i was having problems sleeping before that , i can most nights get a decent nights sleep in the recliner but the problem is the recliner is in the living room and every time my husband comes in the living room if he wakes up in the middle of the night and comes in to get something to drink he wakes me up , am a light sleeper ,thought about getting a adjustable bed and put it in the spare bedroom but don't know if that would help. at least it would raise my legs and get me out of the living room. anyone try this ? |

hi ewebster,
An adjustable bed or second recliner in the spare room should work. I think many bed places have a trial period.. you could check on that , then if the adj bed doesn't work for you can return it.

I dont have a recliner but this thread is making me think I should get one. I cannot sleep at night the majority of the time so I am soooo tired. Sometimes I lay down, get up, lay down and no position is comfortable. I am so worn down emotionally and physically I dont know what to do anymore.

I have to adapt my recliner for sleeping too.
I use a pillow on the foot rest for no pressure points, a lumbar pillow for the low back because the head and shoulders are shorter in the chair then a guy, and it pitches my head forward. I have it all the way back and lay fetal. I can not sleep on my back. I make sure I have myself relaxed, which mentally is never possible, but I try. I have valium for spasms and taking that at night helps, along wth Advil gel caps, 3 or 4 of them. If my neck trap hurt it is ice. if it is the low back, thigh then it is the heating pad. If a real flare of the lumbar or trap, I have a tens, not one like a bee sting, but a massage wave action. From Reliamed for $75 best one I ever had. I wear it for hours when in spasms or pain of trigger point spasms.. I need a new recliner this one is shot. I want more sink in comfort, one that the leg rest is padded up to the seat area, Maybe income tax refund money,.,,, di
