It came yesterday (Monday) and although it was big and heavy for me to get upstairs, I managed.
With Memory Foam you have to let it ''air'' for a fair few hours, so I had to wait until bed-time to try it out.
Here's a photo of it, I have decided to KEEP the old mattress on the bottom, just to make the bed that bit higher and more accessible for me to get in and out of.
I have also got my electric blanket - Just in case I have a bad Raynauds attack in bed.
I slept well, there's no real way to describe being 'cradled like a baby' feeling. I felt my body was supported and the Memory Foam pillows definitely made a huge difference too.
I was aware that it was becoming light outside and worried that I had over slept I reached for my iPhone and saw that in fact it was only 06:50am and I still had a few minutes left before the alarm called me.
I definitely don't regret this purchase (even though it came with a hefty price tag). They are worth every single penny for a Fibromyalgia sufferer such as myself.
Before buying it I had read reviews on it, my Grampy's sister (who's 90 odd) had one and had to call her daughter to help her out of it because she gets so stiff and she got stuck - it worried me because I get stiff too. Others said that they were 'cold people' but it just got too hot... - With the Raynauds Phenomenon I welcome any warmth ;)
This morning it's raining and my knee feels sore but it not giving way (yet!) which is always a bonus. I really have to chase up the doctors and get seen by all the specialists that are involved in my care.
As you know, I'm not one to always go to the doctors, but this needs to be sorted out. I need to manage my FMS (and all other conditions) better than I am doing, for the sake of my children at least.
Well, that's all from me.
