Crazy thing to ask on ATS, I know, but I don't frequent many forums at all, so here goes...
I've gotten to the point where the best sleep I get is in my recliner. I'll fall asleep reading or something and later wake up feeling great and then go lay down on the bed and wake up in the morning and it takes me 10 minutes to all the parts moving in unison. My neck will be hurting, my back and/or knees will be screaming.
So the last couple nights I just said screw it and tilted the recliner all the way back and stayed there. Slept the entire night (which is rare), woke up feeling actually "rested" (very rare). I think I actually "slept" for the first time in a very, very, long time!
I guess I need to think about getting a new bed (or something).
Get yourself a stiff pillow and sleep on the floor for 7 days. It will hurt in the beginning, but soon you'll feel like "nature" has once again entered your soul. Its like camping in your tent with a sleeping bag, please try it.
I can actually remember the last time I slept really well in a bed (that's how memorable it is) and it was when I was staying at a Westin. It was one of those "Heavenly Beds", and they actually sell them. I guess I could get one of those maybe, but they ain't cheap. But before I do that I thought I'd check here and get some opinions.
I keep hearing people talk about these Sleep Number beds. Are they really all that, or is it just hype?
What other kinds of beds are there?
Do they even still sell waterbeds? I had one of those as a teen and it always seemed to work really well for me.
Anyway, as far as ailments go, I pretty much have a bad...everything...(back, knees, neck and a whole litany of other aches and broken and bent stuff, just pick one and I probably broke it or bent it at some point). I really think I'm just beginning to suffer from "old man disease". Don't mind spending some decent money, but I want to get something good which will take care of these tired old cowboy bones.
What say you?
Thanks in advance for any input!

I guess I could, but it just seems kind of weird...not going to bed at night in an actual "bed". It's like I'm cheating or something.
I think I've actually slept in stock trailers and gotten a better night's sleep than I do in that dang bed!
