Does anyone know of 'The best mattress ever'?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Warren, MI

Can anyone tell me what kind of mattress/bed works really well for them, is really comfortable with fibro, and lasts more than a year? I do spend quite a lot of time in there, ok... most of my time in there, so I need a mattress that doesn't hurt me.

Members shared enthusiastic recommendations for mattresses and toppers that help manage fibromyalgia pain and improve sleep quality, with several praising adjustable beds for their ability to relieve muscle tension by raising or lowering different sections for optimal comfort. Many members highlighted specific products that worked well for them, including wool mattress toppers for cooling relief from night sweats, Intellibed mattresses designed specifically for fibromyalgia, adjustable air mattresses, and gel egg crate toppers as affordable interim solutions. A recurring theme was that while quality sleep solutions can be expensive, members felt they were worth the investment for the significant improvement in pain relief and rest, with practical tips like getting a doctor's note to avoid paying taxes on medically necessary adjustable beds.

My favorite is Intellibed. It's very pricey but to me, worth it. They have certain models that are made for people with fibro. It's the best night sleep I have consistently ever had.

I have an adjustable bed and it's been a God send. I can move it up or down even inches to make me feel more comfortable. Right now I have a gel egg crate on my mattress until my husband can get me an air mattress or a Tempur-pedic. If you have to purchase a new bed make sure it's adjustable and get a slip from your doctor so you don't have to pay taxes on it. 🍫❤️B

I have an adjustable bed and find it very beneficial - sometimes laying flat means that some muscles are not properly support therefore can retain tension during the night. Being able to raise and lower head or feet to whatever position is comfortable helps me relax more.

I have a 3" wool mattress topper that is wonderful. It keeps the nightly hotflashes at bay, very cooling. And, oh so soft. It wasn't cheap. I think mine was $325 on Amazon for a queen size but I'm finding it was worth every penny in finally getting some sleep.

I use an adjustable air mattress that I got 20 years ago--expensive be worth every dime.
