Confused

[George Person <George9910@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am looking for some insight.  I hope that somebody who has had trouble
sleeping also and can help me find a PD friendly bed.  Not being able to get
comfortable and sleep is really a bad position be in.

I started to look at beds and became more confused.  All I want is to get
more than 4 hours sleep at one time. There are many beds to choose from today
(Both brands and type).

I told the bed salesmen that I had PD and what would they recommend.  I got
many different answers.  I was told to check int latex.  A salesman at
abed.com was sure that their 5000 model would be the perfect bed for me.
Another salesman at a small store recommended Tempur-pedic (infomercials on
at night for those of us who do not sleep).  Other stores claimed that Spring
Air, Simmons, Serta, Sealy all have beds that are good.  Simmons Back Care
System is for those of us who sleep on our backs. All these salesmen had a
solution for me but none of them had PD.

There seems like there is a lot to choose from.  However, there is still
more.

Then there is the adjustable and standard to think about - the adjustable
could be easier for someone with PD to get out of bed in the morning.

Many beds have different degrees of padding or "pillow tops" to choose from.
While they are comfortable, it can almost feel like it is hard to move with
too much padding or pillow top.

Has anybody found a bed that works very well.  I am especially interested in
what works for those have PD and who sleep well on their back.  My back wakes
me up at night (it is stiff).

Help ---- Please reply.

What beds have you found comfortable?

Does anyone get a solid 8 hours sleep with PD?  If yes on what bed?

Thanks for sharing.

George
