You bed is ment to be a haven,a safe place,u fall asleep and u wake refreshed and ready to embrace the day..NAWWWW not for us:(I was at the end of my tether,after suffering from insomnia for six months and when I sleeping i was waking up with back and arm spazams almost paralized,tears trying to get sat up on the edge of the bed I thought okay I'm getting a new mattress,nup just the same,a mattress topper (another 80 quid) nup still so sore,i started to feel scared falling asleep at night as the mornings were so bad.....

By chance i had a friend staying and I have a fold down couch thing but not too comfy so I got a blow up mattress,cheap single one with a battery air pump,after they left I was too tired to pack it all up so I lay down on it exhausted,omg the sinking in relief lying on air!!! So I now have a double air bed on top of my mattress(low bed ) ive been using it for three weeks now,every morning I get sitting up in seconds,I can stand right away,i smile as another day starts better!

It may not work for everyone,certainly it wouldn't at floor level!be crawling around! I'd say its worth a try:))

Rant and ramble over folks :))
