Does anyone use a mattress topper or wedge pillow to get more comfortable in bed?

I use a very thick cheap duvet on top of my mattress with a plump mattress cover on top.

I did not get on with the wedge pillow and opted for three pillows, 2 firm-ish and one very soft down pillow that I can shape into anything around my neck.

I sleep by myself in a double bed, but my husband and/or daughter join me for Netflix and we squeeze together, so there are a total of six pillows on my bed!

The TV is on a chest at the foot of my bed!

Hope that helps,

Laura

I bought a wedge pillow and found I kept on slipping down it! It really didn’t agree with my sleeping position...so hubby and I spent a small fortune on a fully adjustable Tempur bed instead 🤦🏼‍♀️😆 On the bright side, we saved the VAT on it because it was purchased due to a disability.

I have a wool mattress topper, but that’s to help regulate my body temperature at night as wool isn’t supposed to let you overheat and I was suffering from terrible night sweats. It has definitely helped.

I have loads of pillows but they all seem to have gone saggy at the same time! The wedge pillow doesn’t seem to be the answer. The last thing I want is more slipping down the bed! Thanks for info.

Hi there. Topper plus pillow stack. Like Laura, I've got different grades of softness deployed, so can add or subtract, mix and match my pillows and find a comfy position. All the best. Maus

Thanks Maus, what is your topper made from?

It's quite a firm one (since I prefer that), made from foam. The topper is from Ikea ('Tuddal'), on top of an Ikea foam mattress ('Murbo'). There's a theme here... ;) . xx. Maus

My husband has to sleep propped up now. He has an adjustable bed and uses a v shaped pillow to stop him slipping down the bed.
