Recommendations for beds when you have chronic pain

jaja

Hello

I am just about to start shopping for a new bed but before I do I wanted to check with all you wonderful people to see if you had any suggestions in finding a bed that is comfortable.

I experience chronic pain as part of my disability and experience quite a lot of pressure pain. Needless to say I am very rarely comfortable. My current bed situation is a little like princess and the pea.  I have the pressure mattresses at the moment and the toppers etc. I can cope with it but I need a new bed and wondered if there is anything that might be comfortable.

If there is anyone who experiences similar pain to me I would grateful of any suggestions.

Many thanks

Hi @jaja, I can definitely relate to this! I always have gone for quite a firm mattress as this tends to be more supportive for myself.

I hope other members will be able to share their experiences!

Thanks  @Chloe_Scope

I wondered if there would be some kind of consensus.

Have a read of it. It hopefully should answer your questions. What type of mattress do you need? How old is your current bed? For more information, see this detailed article https://www.topmattress.com/best-mattress-for-scoliosis/
