Bed and mattress

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a new mattress (It's time to replace it). Do you have tips for beds and/or mattresses? For me, sleeping while sitting feels better than lying down when having a migraine. But it's not comfortable. Any tips? What about Adjustable Bed?

  1. The best thing for me has been memory foam. I just have a memory foam topper on a traditional mattress. I have slept on a memory foam mattress but it was too soft for me.

    1. If you can afford it, I really think Sleep Number beds would be helpful. I prefer a much firmer surface during a migraine than when I'm not having one, so being able to adjust my bed's firmness would be amazing. Also, they have models that you can adjust with a remote to have the head part come up so you can be in a more seated position, or you can raise the feet if that is comfortable. Unfortunately, they are really expensive. I can't afford one right now but hope to buy one next year.

      If anyone knows of similar beds that are more affordable, I'd love any suggestions.

      1. Hi, I would like to share my experience with you as all of you are in need of a seated position bed. I am having migraine problem for years and as I am daily working with monitor for hours, the migraine problem has never left me. I was also in search of a seated position bed and have tried an adjustable bed too but it did not work well for me 🙁. Once while searching online, I found lifestyle beds by CT mattress. The bed position can be arranged according to our convenience and it will be useful for people like us who are suffering from migraine.
