a good bed

Does anyone have any suggestion on good beds? I am hoping getting a new one or atleast start looking around to see what kind of beds are better for a chiarian.

  Hi...good question...I wish I had a hospital type bed that I could adjust.....or  one that u can dial the firmness of the mattress...so u can change it as needed...or a combo of both???

  That would be perfect, not sure it exists  or if I could afford something like that tho.

A Sleep Number bed maybe...those are expensive though.  For me the pillow matters more than the bed.

  Well for me, I also have EDS and I have shoulder and hip pain lying on my side etc...so I need more than just a pillow....I have a pillow I like...it is the rest of me  that needs more comfort.

What kinda of pillows are better to support the neck? I could start with that. I have a pillow I have been using since I was 14 I can't sleep without it. Pillows at other peoples houses and at mine are lumpy and uncomfertble but I am unsure if it is even good for me.

As long as u r not waking with pain from the way the pillow holds ur neck, it should be ok......if it is comfortable to u...than I would not worry.....u do not want ur neck to be too high off the bed tho as it can but ur neck in a position to cause a CSF blockage.

  SO ur pillow should not be really thick......

      I found a pillow at Target it was called a re-shape-able pillow , I am not sure they still carry it, but it has been the best pillow for me, I take it with me on long car rides ...sleep overs etc....

  I dislike lumpy pillows as well...and why I like the re-shape-able one.
