I totally missed the going live announcement and found my way in by accident! bed pain: i sleep like i'm heavily pregnant, ie with aching hip propped up at right angle to body on pillows. Oh, the glamour of it all.

Oooh new forum - strange.
I also have memory foam pillow bought in sale at Dunelm - pricey normally but worth it's weight in gold for neck/shoulder.
The only thing I can suggest Jenni is matress topper. When I got mine I was a bit skint and couldn't afford the proper memory foam ones but I got a fairly decent one for £20 from theshoetailor.com - strange I know but they sell all sorts of things.

Hi Jenni!
When I have my terrible hip pain I couldn't bare to even lie down, or sit up. As standing is not an option to sleep, the only way I could endure being in bed was to lie right on my tum?
Right, now I have to work out how to send this and then (no doubt) call M to ask him to sort a photo out....again! LOL
God Bless you!

Nice to see some more of you have found your way!  I have to say I thought Jenni was lowering the tone again with that title  I lie in the "unconscious " position, you know like the one they teach you to put unconscious people in first aid? I can't lie on my back because it makes my knees ache and the duvet weighs heavy on my feet. Doreen xx

Good advice, Jenni. As for Doreen lying in the "unconscious" position - isn't that normal?!

I should have said "recovery position" but then you would all say I was recovering from the nights out!

glam girl that I am snuggled up with S shaped bump pillow that I used when I had Bernice. It did help a little- almost twisted to being on front but with knee resting on pillow. I did have a terrible nightmare though- havent had one like that in a long time- i dreamt lumps of plaster were falling around me because the freemasons were cross with me! how to be a velvet bulldoser

Before I had my hips/knees replaced I used to dread going to bed, as I never got any sleep from the horrendous pain.
I find an airsprung mattress helps, this is not as expensive as a memory foam. Also lying on a duvet is quite a good alternative, with a pillow between the knees.
Best of luck
Love
Rebecca

The things we have to do to get some rest . I had an altercation with the duvet the other night and nearly lost a vital chest asset due to the velcro on my writst splints  - not pleasant! Julie
