It can be YOURS!!!
Yes, anything can have a dramatic impact on an individual.
From a total population standpoint is it normally a primary concern? No, most people do not even notice any issues that develop but then again, most people are not pushing their bodies or asking them to be high performance machines.
You are doing the right things by strengthening your muscular imbalances that have developed. Imbalance is one of the leading causes of injury behind only previous injury and severity of previous injury. My first recommendation would have been to get an assessment and to strengthen the weak areas. Since you have already tackled those issues, now you are also at the point of prevention.
What can you do and what's important?
What is important is the alignment of your hips and spine as you sleep. Prop your body up into a position where your hips and spine are aligned. I'll give some links on pillows that can help accomplish this.

Another common pillow position for back sleepers is a pillow, roll, or towel under the hamstrings.
If you have short hip flexors that put you in an anterior pelvic tilt (APT) this will especially work to take the pressure, from the weight and leverage of your legs, off of your low back.
Get some sheet stays my dude.
I got two of these in August, and I love them so much I just ordered another one. I notice a difference in my hair and skin whenever I don’t sleep on one now. I was wary of the price at first, but this is about as affordable as they come for 100% mulberry silk. I’ve washed mine in the washing machine and line dried and they’re still nice.
Alaska Bear 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCG1HPG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CYH7BbMBE91DQ
Sheet suspenders! There's long and short ones, but something like that works like a charm. I've got them on the top and bottom sheets. Just put them on however they work best for you.
You guys have never seen the Nick Cage Sequined Pillow? It's pretty awesome.
On a more relevant note, I love Guarana Antarctica, wish it was cheaper to get in the US.
No, a mattress pad before the memory foam craze meant like a mattress protector, like another cotton, sometimes lightly padded fitted sheet that is sometimes waterproof / water resistant which keeps your sweat and body oils from leeching into the mattress. ex https://www.amazon.com/-Mattress-Protector/dp/B003PWS9AI/
I’ve seen it on amazon.

My OCD (along with radically different sleep patterns) keeps me from sharing a bed with my fiancé, but he loves cuddling, so as an anniversary gift, I decided to make a body pillow version of myself for him to keep in his bed!
I started by commissioning a very large anime-esque portrait of myself by starexorcist and then had the image printed on a pillow case through ArtsCow. Shipping took forever, but the quality is great! The pillow itself came via Amazon.
I suppose I should say the technical term for this pillow is "dakimakura"- I get a kick out of seeing dakimakuras with anime characters on them at conventions and my fiancé loves anime too, so I figured this would be a fun (and funny) gift to give.
What do you think?
> fabric and even that can be found on certain pillows sold in a home design store in the last 4 years.
You can get a two-sided sequin pillow on amazon where one side is Nicolas Cage’s face.
If internet memes beat you to something, don’t do it.
We have a waterproof mattress pad on our bed. It's got fabric around it so it doesn't rustle and crinkle like plastic, and the top layer absorbs liquids so it doesn't spread around like it would if the top layer were plastic.
We have it to keep our mattress free of pet accidents (my dog's a cancer survivor and has some issues from it) but it's the best 45 bucks I've spent. It's similar to this one, it might actually be the same one.

Thanks for this, after looking at the website you provided I found one cheaper on Amazon, by a significant amount. I wanted the extra large blanket on sensory goods which was 58" X 80" and 21 pounds. With the discount code it cost 143.99.
​
On Amazon I found this weighted blanket that was 60" X 80" and 20 pounds for 85.90. This is what I ended up purchasing.
I have a 2014 without powered seats as well, and I had the exact same problem as you after about a year of ownership. Developed some pretty intense lower back pain that wouldn't go away (I have a long commute every day).
I bought this (Amazon - Lumbar Support Pillow). Solved my problem completely. Pain went away and didn't come back.
Best of luck!
I have a latex pillow that is wonderful. It's a Z by Malouf. I got it for $50 so I'm sure you can find something cheaper than amazon if you shop around. In the end, just buy what is most comfortable for you.
Wrong.
Sheet garters.
Went into a store once and asked for these, and I musta mumbled or something, because the clerk gave me a shocked look and said, "WHAT kind of garters?"
"Sir, we don't stock that sort of merchandise. You might wish to try a store that deals in...animal husbandry supplies."
OK, so she didn't really say that last bit. But she was thinking it...
Eh.... Not too expensive for a body pillow itself. Plus they're really good for actually sleeping with if you need something between your legs for support and find it easier to hug something when you sleep (whether crippling loneliness or back support or whatever).
It also looks like they're actually slips/covers, which I only really just noticed, and I bet most of the money comes from the print pattern. They don't seem to like "bootlegs" though, so I can only guess that they don't approve of making your own. Dunno why, since like /u/PotatoMurderer says, they're not exactly official.
Also, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume most of those Redditors are using their own money and are moderately well off, not using their grandparents' money. Probably more well off than the actual Japanese the things are made for, considering Japan's economy is suffering from people not fuckin'.
They come in different sizes, actually. But one based on your weight. For me, I have the 15 lb for 140lbs.
I have been unable to sleep through the night for years. Maybe life. I'm not sure, I don't really remember. I'll lay in bed for an hour or two before I finally fall asleep. And halfway through the night, every night, on schedule, I'm awake between 3-4am crying and experiencing an anxiety attack.
But I got this blanket a week ago and I've been out like a light throughout the night. I just feel so comfortable and safe and warm. Sometimes it's a pain to adjust because it's so heavy and I'm so wimpy, it does get hot sometimes because I turn into a nuclear reactor when asleep apparently, and FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THINGS HOLY DON'T FART (it'll stick around ALL night. ALL. NIGHT.) But it has helped me feel human. I feel good. I haven't had an anxiety attack at night since I got this.

I have a latex pillow that I’ve had for, I don’t know, 6 years maybe and it’s held up perfectly fine.
Z 100% Natural Talalay Latex Zoned Pillow - Queen - High Loft, Plush https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00382XCL6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mY3cAbJT86942
They make 4 different styles. High loft plush, high loft firm, low loft plush, and low loft firm.
For a side sleeper you want a high loft.
They also make them in king sizes.
They are $14.99 on Amazon (US)
And the cover is $9.99 (US)
You might consider getting a satin pillowcase or sleep cap. The slippery surface musses up your hair less than regular cotton, which is nice for having second-day hair without pillow frizz, and will probably keep your hair from getting all snarled when you sleep.
I have this silk one, which I really like. (The zipper keeps the pillow in the case in nicely.)
Also, if you aren't already, getting your hair cut by someone who specializes in curly hair and can cut your curls to have good separation and movement would likely help. Hair cuts for straight hair can make your curls clump into a single mass, and I think that gets tangled up more easily.

I hope the link works. This is the first thing I thought of. It’s one of those sequin pillows but when you brush it the other way it’s Nic Cage
Oh I got this. lol. I have traveled pretty extensively both for work and fun so here's what I bring for work:
 
Luggage: 1 carry on hardside + 1 backpack as the "personal item" instead of a purse.
 
If you have the money, I'd invest in Tumi...seriously...the best. A family member who used to have to travel every other week for work bought a Tumi and it has been going strong for 15+ yrs. No joke. My samsonite though has held up very well for well over several dozen trips so it's totally up to you.
My backpack of choice is a lesportsac. It's got 3 external pockets and a drawstring and flap over that buckles. It has 3 internal mesh pockets and a zippered pocket inside. I like to shove my purse and stuff in this backpack.
For business, I try to have a nice sized clutch that will fit phone, wallet and obvs enough room for business cards. I like an envelope style clutch because they can fit a lot of stuff but compress down very nicely at the bottom of my backpack. I also have a very padded laptop case that I store in my backpack. If you want to get a backpack that is a laptop backpack, that is fine too! And some people even prefer it but I personally don't because I use my backpack for fun too. They make backpacks with removable laptop sleeves, so you could also look into that.
This one is an extra but I also have a makeup train case because I refuse to go anywhere without my arsenal. That gets tucked securely between all my clothes in my hardside but of course, if you don't wear much makeup this is totally optional and you can just get away with a cosmetics bag in your backpack.
 
 
 
 
If you are flying nonstop, I see no issue in checking your carry on bag if you are inclined but just make sure to factor in like 30+ min for pickup because it can take some time to get your luggage depending on what airport you're at and the size of your flight. If I know I need to be somewhere ASAP, I just stow everything in the overhead bin.
 
I think that's everything but who knows...I'm probably missing something lol. And obviously this is just what I would do. You don't have to listen to this at all. lolol
When I lived in my smallish 1 bedroom apartment I kept the thermostat at 72 or 73. When I moved into my 2 bedroom condo with tall ceilings I set it down to 65 or 67. At night I'll let it hit 60. I also bought one of these for sleeping. Highly recommend.
Honestly....I got used to it really quick. Without a sweater too. 67 feels rather warm now, and 60-63 is where I start to get chilly.
My what a $500 electric bill will make you tolerate.....
Enjoy!
How about a totoro bed? Even better pricing!

i use and love these: https://www.amazon.com/Alaska-Bear-Natural-Pillow-non-bleached/dp/B00KDL108M
they're extremely nice and well made imo. i read that mulberry silk is one of the better kinds too.
I would say flannel isn't the best for sensitive skin. I have both these silk ones and these cotton ones and I like both a lot.
Someone already mentioned making sure you have clean pillowcases, which I think is definitely the most important piece.
I have one of those pillows with the cooling gel which helps me a lot
https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Brands-Reversible-Memory-Standard/dp/B00MGLOX40/ref=sr_1_7?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1497840698&sr=1-7&keywords=cooling+pillow
 
The heat totally does me in too.
 
Also, I tend to run cold water over my wrists (underside, where you can see the veins) or hold an ice cube between my wrists for a few seconds or as long as I can. It really helps even though for some it's just an old wives tale. Also putting a cold cloth on the back of your neck, groin area, and on top of your head is supposed to help.
 
If you can Percale sheets tend to stay cooler longer, they tend to be a bit expensive (around $60US) but I've had mine for 5+ years and they are still my favorite sheets https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Percale-Egyptian-Cotton-Comfortable/dp/B01LMDQ994
 
A strong (8000btu) window a.c. unit is helpful too, and sometimes you can find them on Craigslist.
 
I hope you find some relief

I own an Alaska Bear mulberry silk pillowcase as well as their silk sleep mask and I love them. The reason it's called mulberry silk is because the silk worms eat only mulberry leaves (at least from what I've seen when I helped out at a silk farm as a kid).
I thought about buying the one with the cotton bottom, but I like to flip my pillowcase after a couple of days, and I've never had issues with it moving around.
Silk is a very soft, light, slippery, and breathable material. I've tried satin before and it makes me sweat. It's like I'm cold and hot at the same time. It's also not as soft and it feels heavier.
I definitely recommend at least buying one and trying it out. I wouldn't spend $100 on something from Nordstrom, though, unless it was made in the US by strapping young men.
I use a memory foam and gel pillow made by Sharper Image, I can’t seem to find it, however, it’s generic enough to be copied exactly.
On top of fibro, I’ve had insomnia for nearly 30 years. This pillow gave me some of the best sleep I’ve EVER had.
They are! My wife is obsessed with hers!
yeah all my other current pillows are from when I was a kid and they used to be awesome but they lost all their fluffiness and are now like flat pancakes.
this pillow is the one that I just got gifted to me, and it's slightly firm but definitely malleable. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning because of it.
"Iso-Cool pillow responds to a body's changing temperature by warming or cooling" ... Sounds way too good to be true.
OK, this post is going to look like a series of ads but I promise that neither me nor anyone I know works for these companies; these are just products I love and wouldn't fly without.
Carry-on items: generally you're allowed one carry-on bag and one "personal item" (generally a non-luggage bag) so I always travel with a laptop backpack as my main carry-on and a big, soft, zippered tote as my personal item. I used to have this travel bag with a zillion pockets but it got to be such a pain trying to remember which pocket had which item it got stupid. Now with a big tote, I can just drag it out from under the seat, open it wide, and pull out one of the...
Packing cubes: Godsend. I buy them from ebags in various sizes, using the big ones for clothing in the pack, and the little ones in my tote. I use different colored ones in the tote for different things. Green for snacks, red for electronics, and blue for comfort items. Since all the small, easily jumbled items are in smaller bags, they're less likely to get lost in the bottom of my big bag. I try to keep my electronics cube better organized by using...
Gear ties: these are like durable, reusable twist ties for things like cords, cables, handfuls of hair elastics, anything you want to keep bundled up and untangled. When I want to use something like my earbuds or a charging cable, I just twist the tie around my tote handle so it won't get lost. Some of the items also in my electronics cube are:
Plug adapter (international travel, I have one for every country I'm hitting, even if it's just an airport stop - one 14-hour stranding in the Hong Kong airport overnight taught me that lesson.)
Compact multi-outlet power strip which can make you new best friends in airports and make the stupidly-configured power outlets in hotel rooms actually workable.
Four-port USB charger: one of these means I only need one outlet to charge my phone, tablet, e-book, and my...
Portable power bank: nothing sucks more than a long flight when all your electronic entertainment doodads have run out of juice. My power bank can charge my phone fully 3+ times and is about the same size as the phone itself.
Onto the comfort items! Some of them go into a packing cube in my tote, others are larger so they're separate.
Disinfecting wipes: I like these because they're individually wrapped and good for both hands and surfaces. First thing I do when I get onto a germ-factory airplane is wipe down my armrests and tray table. Also great for public restrooms when you find out there's no soap.
Filtering water bottle: in many cities around the world, airport bottled water is crazy expensive, and water bottle filling station water is, in a word, nasty. I can attach this bottle to my tote with a carabiner and the filter makes most municipal water taste at least halfway decent.
Travel pillow: personal preference but this one is my favorite. My husband prefers a memory foam donut one but I find it heavy and bulky and not supportive in the right way. The Travelrest rolls up to a compact shape and inflates in seconds.
Soft, layered clothing: I wear yoga pants, a sports bra, a t-shirt, a light drape cardigan and slip-on shoes. The only thing remotely binding I wear is...
Light compression socks: actually my pair is just a regular pair of knee socks in the Nordstrom house brand that I keep snug by only wearing them for flights and handwashing them so they don't lose their elasticity. No matter how often I get up and move around during a long flight I'll get puffy ankles if I don't wear snug socks. Over those, once I'm in my seat I put on...
Fuzzy slipper socks. My feet freeze on planes but I don't like wearing my shoes for that long. Even though I don't think my shoes smell, if I get the stinkeye from a neighbor, I put my shoes into a plastic bag, otherwise I can usually get them off and hide them under the seat in front of me before my seat mates arrive to my row. Because I get so cold on flights I also wear/carry a...
Pashmina or other large scarf: works as a fashion accessory, blanket, pillow, and a don't-talk-to-me barrier when worn like a hood. Also covers up that spot where you spilled your coffee on yourself because you had to be at the airport at 5:30 a.m.
Sleeping mask: slap one of these on, engage your (preferably noise-canceling) headphones, lean into your travel pillow, cuddle up under your scarf and try to forget you're rocketing 35K feet over the planet in a big metal tube.
Single-use toothbrushes: I love those little Wisp toothbrush things - I usually keep them in my handbag or work desk for those oh-shit-here-comes-the-CEO-and-I-just-had-a-grande-latte moments, but they're also great for a little freshening up on a plane or in an airport without needing to get out your actual toiletries.
Moisturizers: because plane air is so drying this includes travel-sized lotion, face moisturizer, and lip balm. So much lip balm. I like Aquaphor myself.
Snacks: be nice to your fellow travelers and keep your snacks non-smelly, quiet especially if it's an overnight flight, and not too messy. I like to bring things like clementines, Babybel cheese, trail mix, chocolate covered nuts, or granola bars. Gum is good for takeoffs and landings. If you're prone to motion sickness, candied ginger is great.
Have a comfortable flight!
We leave at the beginning of August. That leg could be particularly rough, but we've gotten quite good at sleeping sitting up. This pillow is pretty magical on long haul flights.
Looks uncomfortable. Try this.. Plus when you blow it up it looks like a penis and balls that you can smack your friends with on the plane.

Mattress protectors are a thing. You should get one. It's like a plunger, you hopefully never need one, but great for that one time you do.

Edit: I think I paid $99 for a high loft king. The prices on amazon are high at the moment just wait and it will be cheaper.
I wouldn't call the product a BIFL but I had one that lasted about 5 years before I got rid of it when my ex took the cat. It was pretty easy to wipe clean most of the time with some water and non bleach cleaner (didn't want to accidentally bleach the bed sheets)

As a female that squirts every time and can't help it, I can totally understand how she feels. It's not that common (chances are none of her friends do, so she feels like the odd one) and it doesn't get talked about much. And some guys don't like it or get freaked out by it, so she may have had a bad experience with a previous partner.
Reassure her... A LOT. That you like it/find it arousing. Also, that you don't care about any potential mess. By the way, Amazon has this amazing mattress cover that is worth every penny. Reassure her that she is normal - studies have shown that potentially about 45% of women experience this at some time, if not regularly.
Some tips I can share that may also help if she really wants to avoid it, because even if she gets to the point where she's ok with it, there's some days where you know there's gonna be some frisky time, but don't wanna deal with that mess. Drink lots of fluids earlier in the day if you're anticipating evening frisky times, but cut back around 4pm. Start with LOTS of foreplay. Whatever amount of time you're thinking, triple it. As you're getting closer to it, take a break - opportunity to go run to the bathroom real quick. Sometimes I'll forget about it and hubby will make a point of taking a bathroom break so that I remember to as well.
But overall, take time to discuss this OUT of the bedroom. Try to find out what about it is making her feel self-conscious so that maybe you guys can work through the underlying issue together.
Where are you located? How cold are the temperatures you're dealing with? After adding even more insulation (like this - http://www.lowes.com/pd_304090-210-304090.0_4294858106__?productId=3122447&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=) and grabbing some of those mylar blankets (http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Mylar-Blanket-52-84/dp/B0047D6XA2), checking for air leaks, I'd get a cuddly dog.
If you want to splurge, get yourself one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Plush-Low-Voltage-Electric-Heated-Mattress/dp/B003ZSHDEK/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1421297813&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=mattress+cover+heater - we don't heat our bedroom at all, but use this instead + lots of blankets. Very economical.
The advantage of working with such a small space is that you can more easily insulate the heck out of it. Only go for extra heaters if you really need to... they can end up killing your electrical bill and/or burning your place down if you aren't careful.
If your house is anything like mine, I'd guess it will be in the upper 40s in the morning.
Get yourself a heated mattress pad. Easily one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I think I read somewhere that it only costs like 2 cents/night to run and there's nothing better than jumping into a toasty warm bed at night. I had waited so long to buy it because I had experience with other mattress pads where you could feel the wires, but this one is nothing like that. Super soft. And it lets us set the thermostat super low at night no problem. Beats the old space heater hands down.
Good luck with the pipes.
These are my go-to
Or you can buy some sheet suspenders
sheet clips help , like these: https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-fasteners-Adjustable/dp/B00451BG2G there are much cheaper ones, these are just the 1st google result
my husband sleeps like he's on a rotisserie; the clips ensure he doesn't become a burrito

Use a lumbar support:
https://www.amazon.com/LoveHome-Memory-Lumbar-Support-Cushion/dp/B00D5J7SL2/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487098927&sr=8-3&keywords=lumbar+car
Make sure your hips are ABOVE your knees in your driving position, else you'll end up with hip problems as well
Get a lumbar support pillow. Works wonders
Or get a portable table for bed
the downside is that studying while lying in bed makes me sleepy.
Before dropping a ton of money or modding your seat maybe you could try one of these?
At most you would be out a couple bucks.
I used to have horrible back pain. At night I would cram pillows under my legs and in the morning I would curl in the fetal position before getting out of bed to release the pain. I made a few changes that fixed it for me.
Also for a bonus tip YouTube stretches for your hip flexors.
They seem pretty amazing.

This thingy!

Or look up "leg pillow for side sleepers" on Amazon for more options.
I have a 2018 Premier and bought a lumbar cushion from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Everlasting-Comfort-100-Memory-Cushion/dp/B01IJNJAZ0/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=lumbar+cushion&qid=1558472773&s=gateway&sr=8-5
I am 6'6" and felt the seat really rounded out my back and didn't support my lumbar at all. With the cushion I find it acceptable. Still one of the worst features of the car, sadly.
I couldn’t work without mine to be honest.
This is the one I bought off of amazon, it has over 3k reviews and very reasonably priced. I also bought one for my friend and another for my computer chair at home.
Everlasting Comfort 100% Pure Memory Foam Back Cushion - Lumbar Support Pillow for Office, Car and Chair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IJNJAZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ECS4CbDMAQCQG
Look for a lumbar support pillow. You're gonna look weird carrying it around but it supports your lower back and it will help with the pain from sitting in the chairs in classrooms. I use it everywhere, car, classes, library etc.
I use this one personally: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IJNJAZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0BMJzb92CBH25
Try Tiger Balm. It's another cream similar to icy hot but works better for me.

Also an electric heating pad and reusable ice pack or if your dorm has an ice maker like mine a reusable bag for ice depending on what works better for your back.
Get a good backpack. Something with a sternum strap and a hip strap if possible so that the weight is more evenly distributed. Also, I never carry anything other than exactly what I need for class to keep the weight down and try to buy as many textbooks as possible on Kindle so that there's less weight there as well.
A good mattress pad if you're in the dorm so that you can supplement the mattress with one that's better for your back. They can get expensive (Mine was about $100) but it's an investment in your health.
A good pair of inserts in your shoes from Roadrunner, an orthopedic doctor, or a similar store where they mold to your feet has truly helped my pain a lot. I stick them in the pair I'm wearing for the day and I'm good to go.
This works for me. Makes me hate the car a little less.
Lower back support might help. I sit a lot at work and have had a lot of back problems over the years, including back surgery. I use this back cushion on my office chair and in my car. It’s helped tremendously.
I had to sleep under one of these in one of my psych hospital stays, I thought they fucking sucked, they were so uncomfortable, they just irritate your entire body
This will help with those long lonely nights

I love my Iso-Cool pillow.
I see you like Harry Potter. I am a fan of this throw. Or you could get the Marauder's Map! This is also really cool. You need.
I love Harry Potter collectibles. I'm in the process of acquiring all the Horcruxes right now.
If I win I really need a new pillow. It's $1.50 over, so a giftcard towards it would be amazing.
Thank you for the contest and I hope you feel better soon!
Also I just saw you're from Michigan as well! Rad. Are you thinking of going to the meet-up?
http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Better-Iso-Cool-Gusseted-Standard/dp/B000ZK4QH8
I got that one. I like it. Its quite heavy, very firm, and it does stay cool for me (not something I cared about when I bought it but its part of the advertised features).
I recommend a memory foam pillow like this one which I've had for four years and it is awesome. More like a thick cloud than a cloud per se. No affiliation.
This is the pillow I got in March for side sleeping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZK4QH8/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Has been good for me so far. Make sure you get the 1'4" x 1'10" x 2" version, and not the contoured or regular style.
Two simple recommendations that I was told about prior to (and found to be immensely useful during) my recent trip to Asia:

You're not supposed to remove the cover from the SI mattress.You should get a mattress protector/cover + sheets and wash those instead.
I have this one and it works great.
What you want is a terry-lined Gore-Tex protector like this one. It's breathable, but water and mites don't get through. The top of it feels like a towel and won't make you sweat. Bed Bath and Beyond or any mattress store should have them. We got one when we got our last mattress four years ago; it has saved that mattress from two pre-housebroken puppies and a kitten. Mattress still looks brand new.
Hey, Sorry I don't go on reddit all that often so I just saw this msg.
The protector doesn't change anything about firmness or support. It's about as thin as a sheet so I can't imagine how it would. It's not thick like a mattress pad would be. This is the one I purchased http://www.amazon.com/Luna-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B002AQNXR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410799758&sr=8-2&keywords=mattress+protector
Two years and over 25,000 miles with no problems on unprotected white seats. However, I did start out covering the seats with mattress protectors.
Queen Size Luna Premium Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - Made in the USA - Vinyl Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AQNXR4
I love this one: https://www.amazon.com/Luna-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B002AQNXR4
I've had the same one since 2011. It's never failed, even with the kids sleeping in it and wetting the bed sometimes.
I think it's important to take care in washing and especially drying for it to last a while. Always, always let it air dry. Don't use harsh detergents.
These waterproof blankets from LL Bean are my go to. they're a little crinkley (mostly when you're unfolding it) but cheaper and way better than the liberator blanket.
ETA: This mattress protector is really great and a super effective backup. It's not crinkley or hot like some waterproof mattress protectors I've tried and is great for the times you can't stop long enough to get the blanket
We have this mattress protector. We keep it on the bed 24/7 (except when we wash and dry it), so we can wet the bed any time we want - which is AWESOME!
We hardly even notice it, really. The only thing is that it makes the bed a little bit warmer than normal. There is a slight crinkliness, but you get used to it really fast and we don't even notice at all.
We have only had a small leak once, and that's because a cat clawed a tiny corner once and we didn't notice. Aside from that it has been absolutely perfect, and we've had some really heavy piss play on it.
As far as care. Wash it like normal, but air dry it. Putting it through the dryer will ruin it.
I have the Luna premium allergenic waterproof sheets. They had held up well the past 5 years from both sexual play and from an occasional cat potty issue.

I'm sleeping on a Casper currently. I used to sleep on a Sleep Number mattress but I honestly like this one a lot better.
When I worked at that mattress factory back in the day, I had to haul off a 1 month old $5000 Tempurpedic memory foam mattresses that this couple really didn't like. I was really surprised to find that people pay so much for a mattress that they end up hating. That memory foam absorbs body heat and doesn't breathe like latex does. You end up sinking into the mattress to the point where rolling over or moving in the middle of the night becomes frustrating.
Whatever mattress you end up with, buy a mattress cover to protect it. I got this highly rated one off of Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002AQNXR4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice pillows and pillow protectors are a good upgrade too. I ended up saving so much money from buying my mattress online that grabbing extras like new pillows and a really nice set of sheets didn't hurt my wallet so much. These pillows are super squishy and provide low-to-medium support: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SONR1W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1#
Sheets make a big difference to me and when I first saw the price on the sets at Parachute, I chuckled at how ridiculously high they seemed. I asked around online and bit the bullet. I have never been so satisfied day after day with any purchase. http://www.parachutehome.com (They talk about how they get softer after each wash and I thought that was total BS. It's actually true. The sheets get softer the longer you use them!)
Watch this video to learn more about what makes the Casper and Tuft and Needle mattresses different. It talks about what they're made of and who they're geared towards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sov1T1BJ-mc
its a little spendy but the high loft plush version of this pillow is the best I've tried. Really soft but still supports you.

Prednisone gave me night sweats that got even worse after I tapered. This waterproof mattress cover is great. I honestly cannot tell it's on. I don't need it right now but we leave it on because there's no reason to remove it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003PWK2A8/
yeah you get used to it and I no longer notice it, Im not sure if thats because its broken in now or I dont notice it. it might be better if you put a mattress protector on it as well.
This is the one I have:

Im not sure how different the chillipad or ooler feel, its basically the same technology (tubes under a pad)
Wirecutter (personal go-to for product testing) is reccomending a SafeRest Premium Mattress Protector
its also supposed to be available from walmart, is pretty cheap, and supposedly is fully waterproof while still feeling like fabric and won't degrade with washing
Edit: formatting and details
Are you sleeping directly on top of the mattress, or are you in a sleeping bag?
Cold, dirty and sticky... ugh. If they're close to standard mattress sizes (twin I'm guessing), why not just get a mattress protector? They're made to protect the mattress from humans, but will also work protecting the human from the mattress.
Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/SafeRest-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B003PWS9AI
Not sure what you might have available in NZ though. Along similar lines, you could make one from a tablecloth, the kind with fabric on one side and plastic or PU coating on the other.
I would suggest getting heated mattress pads like this. They use very little energy, and only heat where you need it (in bed). This way, they can turn the heat down in the whole house at night. That will solve part of your problem.
Next, If they haven't already, I would look into air-sealing. Air sealing is one of the most cost-effective ways to save energy. All of the insulation in the world won't really matter much if the house is not air-sealed.
Lastly, at the risk of sounding condescending (I'm not), buy them some sweaters.
I got this one on Amazon.
(Soft Heat Micro-Plush Top Low-Voltage Electric Heated Queen Mattress Pad, White)
sheet suspenders. Haven't looked back.
Get these. They'll stop the corners of the sheets from slipping off the corners of the mattress.
Sheet garters are a thing. https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-fasteners-Adjustable/dp/B00451BG2G
You get something like this or this or fuck it, and get a duvet with a zipper and fill that shit with upholstery foam.
Then you buy some of these and Velcro em on to build yourself some walls.
Enjoy your giant dog bed.
Unless you meant a human sized corgi, in which case, there’s a giant corgi deep down in all of us. You just have to find it. I believe in you <3
Something like this but with the design from the pic printed on it.
How about this AWESOME Totoro bed?!
It might not be as weird as Kangaroo scrotum purses, but it's definitely unique! Maybe in the future, we will all sleep on animals, like they did on the Jetsons.

I bought this and it completely changed the way I stand.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D5J7SL2/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524646247&amp;sr=8-6&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=lumbar+pad&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51t7Rxuj4YL&amp;ref=plSrch
I've got one of those and it's been a game changer. Lumbar support is severely lacking or way too low down or way too high up. Pretty much back pain free now.
I agree about lack of lumbar support hurting your lower back. I fixed that by buying one of those memory foam lumbar pillows on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5J7SL2/). No more back pain for me even after several hours.
Now the wheel being too high and pedals too close can be fixed too if you're OK with more upright seating position. My real life daily driver is an SUV, so I'm used to that, but I understand that it could be awkward for other people. So what I did is I raised the seat by 1.5" using two 8020 15-series profile pieces that I put between the frame and the seat rails. I also used them for attaching keyboard tray and shifter mounts as it gives much more adjustability than the stock 6cm spaced holes and I coul finally mount both the shifter and the tray on the right side to have an unobstructed entry from the left side. Here're some pictures of my setup, hope that helps: https://imgur.com/a/52onJ
And I don't understand the complain about the shifter being too close. If you mount it using the same holes that are used for the front cross bar it will be anything but too close. When I added that 8020 I even even moved the shifter a bit closer to me. I'm 6'1" (185cm) and have rather long arms and legs and after all these upgrades the rig is pretty comfortable to me to sit the whole day in it.
I was reading about silk/satin pillowcases last night for hair and skin, and Alaska Bear is a top choice of a few. Lo and behold, this brand has some of their mulberry silk pillowcases on Prime Day sale today (I ended up buying some from their Lightning deal this morning).
idk what momme means, though; still researching that.
Stuff like that, I would say, it's worth investing in.
For all here against Amazon (I understand), see if your local store or favorite e-tailer will price match the products in this thread.
I highly recommend one of those gel pillows. I got this one and it's helped a lot.
Here you go
We got a pair of memory foam pillows with the gel on one side. It's quite nice and although doesn't stay cool all night as you use it, it does a good job.
https://amzn.com/B00MGLOX40
The BIFL aspect of these pillows, imo, is the double zip up pillow cases that surround the product plus the pillow case you add. I think one of the pillow cases is waterproof, preventing your sweat and skin from getting into the pillow and with 3 pillow cases on it, it should last a long time.
Yeah the nausea from meds is one reason I stopped. The nausea was worse than the minimal pain I had at that point.

On mobile so I apologize for the long links but she usually uses some combination of the following:
This one almost nightly - ComfiLife Orthopedic Knee Pillow for Sciatica Relief, Back Pain, Leg Pain, Pregnancy, Hip and Joint Pain - Memory Foam Wedge Contour https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ARJ7SBM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
This one less often now that she has the wedge below - Sleeping Pillow for Back pain,Soft Memory Foam Lumabr Support Cushion for Side and Back Sleeper, Therapeutic Body Pillow for Sciatica Leg Hip Pregnancy and Joint Pain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071RM4B53?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Every night, this is her favorite item and helps a lot in combination with our Casper mattress - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Multi-Use-Bed-Wedge-Foam-Pillow/191267219
She still has occasional pains and some days are better than others. She was prescribed opioids for the pain but refuses to take them for the obvious reasons. She was taking 4-6 aspirin every 6-8 hours but now she isn't taking any daily pain medication anymore and only takes a couple ibuprofen on "bad" days. We also recently started going to the gym where we do different muscle groups each visit but it seems like back and legs days have helped her immensely as well.
like a lower back support?
kinda like that?
6'1" here as well. I lower the seat all the way and then add about 2 pulls up. I set the steering wheel so that when I look down, I can easily see all of the guages. Then I lay my arms on top of the steering wheel, with my back against the seat, and move back till wrists are sitting on top of the steering wheel. Then I adjust the recline for comfort. No issues driving for long period of time.
As for lumbar, they make these great little cushions now that you can use. I can't go without the lumbar, then my back will hurt.
I know a couple Huey pilots that fly with these:

You could probably just google weighted blankets and get some good results
I laying under my weighted blanket right now! I’m not in the spectrum, but I volunteer/work with a lot of kids with autism, and that’s how I found out about weighted blankets. I have anxiety that makes sleeping really difficult. Tonight’s the first night that I’m using it, but I LOVE the way it feels.

I've been using it for about two weeks now and love it. It can get kinda warm, but it's not unbearable. I also have a fan directly over my bed. If I don't turn it on I've woken up too hot once or twice. I'm in Denver and we've had some pretty hot days since I got it.
EDIT: Sorry for the delay, I'm still figuring out how to use reddit on android. It doesn't tell me I have replies so I have to check everything. I figured this post was so old it was done.

https://www.amazon.com/ZonLi-Weighted-170-230lb-Individual-Children/dp/B075W94KB3
They come in different sizes. I got one that doesn’t cover my whole bed, just my body.
If you have pets that love to play/sleep on your bed, definitely get a cover or use a blanket/sheet for protection.
Mine is 20 pounds, I think. It’s comprised of little beads, no chains. I’m pretty sure this is the one I have
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075W94KB3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_7HUDCbSSE1FE1
Edit: luckily, the beads don’t roll around very much since the blanket is made of little squares so they can’t roll that far.
Just was looking at my old comments, and figured I’d add the additional info.

You can't pick your friends nose! ;)
Yes, sleep is insanely important and anything that's disturbing it or your neck will cause issues. Go to a store like Bed, Bath and Beyond and try out some pillows if you can. If you get a memory foam, make sure to take your contacts out at night as they often dry out your eyes.

^i have the standard one. It's very nice but needs a few days to air out. It doesn't stay 100% cool if you aren't a person that falls asleep quickly. Best description is that it is firm but giving. I use the gel insert below to deal with the coolness issues.

https://www.amazon.com/Travelrest-Ultimate-Ergonomic-Airplanes-Wheelchairs/dp/B001DYDAEK?ie=UTF8&amp;ref_=zg_bs_3732121_6
Does anti-motion sickness medicine (like Dramamine) work for you? If so, I recommend getting that for the flight. I also have prescription Ambien that I bring to help me sleep.
I bought this inflatable pillow a few years ago and it helps me sleep better than those neck pillows. And since it’s inflatable, it’s easy to pack.
I also recommend wearing shoes you can easily take on and off as well as comfy socks.
I guess it depends on how you sleep.
I'm also looking at this, this, and this.
Buy this, works well on the window seat or any seat.
http://www.amazon.com/Travelrest-Ultimate-Inflatable-Airplanes-Wheelchairs/dp/B001DYDAEK
I use this [contraption.] (http://www.amazon.com/TravelRest-Ultimate-Inflatable-Travel-REINVENTED/dp/B001DYDAEK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1368583016&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=travel+pillow)
Looks bonkers but it really works for me.
I recently bought a new bed, and I looked through this site to determine what would be best. I ended up going with a latex mattress. I'm pretty satisfied with it. The frame depends on what type of mattress you're getting. You'll probably want a frame and box spring for an innerspring mattress, but everything else just needs a foundation. Also, be sure to get a waterproof mattress cover to protect your mattress.
What I went with, for reference:
https://amzn.com/B002AQNXR4

P.S., buy at least a queen if you're going to have another person in your bed. A double will be pretty cramped.
Yo! Currently seeing it for $68 on Amazon!
Malouf Talalay Latex Zoned Pillow, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00382XCL6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_G7duxbRPHWYXA
If you sleep on your stomach then you probably wouldn't like the pillow like I have. It doesn't squish down like a feather pillow does. You could try one of these pillows and maybe get the low loft one.
Sorry that I can't give you a brand, but I bought mine from a local mattress manufacturer. It's made from the same talalay latex that my mattress is made of. Comes in soft, medium, firm. Firm is probably best for side sleepers like us. Very comfy. Look up talalay latex pillow. Expect to spend about $80.
Stay away from memory foam. It's a closed-cell foam and gets really hot because it can't breathe.
Edit: This looks close to what I have:
https://www.amazon.com/Malouf-Talalay-Latex-Zoned-Pillow/dp/B00382XCL6
I'm a side sleeper I use this Malouf latex pillow and I love it. Some off gassing but once you've had it for a while you'll be fine.
https://www.amazon.com/Malouf-Talalay-Latex-Zoned-Pillow/dp/B00382XCL6
Hah, oddly enough I bought this Malouf pillow when I was drunk. Best purchase ever. I'll shop around for some extra pillow cases now I think.
Any specific brand? I'm looking at the 30 dollar ones discounted from 120 to 100
LinenSpa
Latex pillows last forever compared to the standard fiber-filled ones I kept having to replace every six months. I have this one. The only thing with latex is it's very bouncy and some people don't like that. (Especially when cats walk on your pillow, they bounce you around more than with a normal pillow.)
After seeing someone recommend it on baby bumps, I bought this one:
King Size SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003PWK2A8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6lOgybV6Z17F3
It's been working great. Less than $40, No sound, feels soft, keeps sheets from pulling off bed and had good reviews.
Hey there, I'm sorry for the stress that you're going through. I totally understand the frustrations of it all. My husband and I had the same problems with the second cat we adopted. We're lifers when it comes to our animals but honestly this cat was exhausting us and we were on the brink of giving up on him because getting woken up constantly by cat piss is the worst.
After trying everything we eventually got a prescription for Prozac, and although it sucks shoving a pill down his throat everyday (I suggest a pill popper) it solved the problem!
And this mattress cover is great!
It's not a child mattress.
It's a waterproof cover - similar to what you'd use with a kid. Here's an example.
I use cotton bedding as well. I'd suggest picking whichever type of weave feels most comfortable to you (percale, sateen, etc). I'm currently using Threshold percale sheet sets from Target and Tommy Hilfiger sheet sets from Macy's and love them.
Dust mite allergy is a big thing for many eczema sufferers (including myself), and my allergist recommended using dust mite covers for the mattress and pillow to limit exposure. I just bought this one on Amazon last week.
As for doing laundry, it's a good idea to wash bedding using hot water weekly for cleanliness as well as to kill dust mites and bacteria etc. Fragrance can be a huge trigger for eczema, so I've been using All Free & Clear detergent and using white vinegar in a Downy ball for the wash. I also use dryer balls in the dryer instead of fabric softener (no fragrance and chemicals!).
We all have covers on our mattress. Mostly for allergy but hey humans and pets leak occasionally at any age.

The ones that zipper the mattress in have a tendency to vacuum pack it, making the mattress uncomfortable.

Thanks for your contest! and yay for your 1st contest!
I have these (http://www.amazon.com/SafeRest-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B003PWS9AI/) on every mattress in our house just for regular protection and nothing has gotten through them yet. For birth though, I'd go with the plastic sheet or shower curtain.
I really liked the putting a potty chair in his room idea. It’s good to have the option. Sometimes if they’re sleeping they can’t feel it coming and there’s no waking them up. Limit fluid intake before bed, go potty as part of his bedtime routine and be patient, they will grow out of it eventually. In the meantime use pull-ups and keep a protective/plastic sheet on his bed. That way you can easily take it off and wash it and he and his mattress won’t smell like urine.
SafeRest Twin Size Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003PWS9AI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MJUiDb4M1WCDQ
I really like this brand because it’s plastic on the bottom and a soft fabric on the top so it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping on plastic at all.
if the first time was an accident the couch now smells like potty.
You need to clean it with an enzymatic cleaner to completely eliminate the smell for the dog.
If it happens again - then it is a training issue and you definitely need to not allow her on the couch.
I would purchase a waterproof mattress protector to cover the seat cushions AFTER you use the enzyme cleaner.
This way if there are other occurrences, it won't actually soil your couch again.
&#x200B;
According to the label: good for protecting against fluids/dust mites/bacteria/allergens. Have fun!
Honestly, it doesn't bother me, since I know I'm going to get horribly gross every time I'm on a plane, and then I just clean me/my clothes right afterwards.
But, if you're really excited by this idea, something like this might be best: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PWS9AI/
It's waterproof/non-permeable, but small enough to pack in a carry-on without too much issue. Essentially just a waterproof fitted sheet.

Though slightly more expensive, I actually recommend a heated mattress pad versus a blanket, because the heat will rise through and warm your sheets but get trapped by your comforter - keeping the heat next to you. I have the queen size version of this one and it is amazing. It helped me survive winter at school when we had the thermostat at 58 almost all the time. It makes enough heat that just sitting in bed was really comfy, so I would end up doing all of my homework in bed.
Note: If you've got a programmable thermostat, make sure you turn on the heat about 15 minutes before you wake up to make getting out of bed easier.
The electric mattress pads work and are definitely worth the money. I bought this one about a year ago.
Also I can recommend this heated mattress pad if you want to go that route:
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Plush-Low-Voltage-Electric-Heated-Mattress/dp/B003ZSHDEK
It's a bit more expensive than traditional ones because it has a transformer that drops the voltage actually going through the heating coils (makes it a little more safe around pets who might chew/claw it). If you don't have pets you can get a Sunbeam one for about $40 less.
This is so close yet so far from what I need. I have a feather bed on top of my mattress and the sheets (even the extra deep sheets I buy) don't quite stick. Some kind of under mattress suspenders is what I think I need. Where are those?
Edit: Hooooly shit - amazon rocks.
You obviously shouldn't assume. Buy some sheet straps like these or sheet suspenders like these and they will stay on for as long as you want.
Or you could just get bed sheet straps....same shit
Edit: Jesus H Christ, Marine. do you not know how to use google or know about Amazon? Found this after doing a simple search.
You can pick up some sheet straps pretty cheap. Amazon has this, which may be overkill -
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-Fastener-Improved/dp/B00451BG0S
I got those, plus these but neither will stay clipped onto my sheets (admittedly, they are satin). Someone needs to make a heavy duty version with better clamps.
That's disappointing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Straps are great for keeping larger fitted sheets in-place and taut on a mattress. These Sheet Suspenders is the product I use.
Get deep sheets and sheet suspenders.
Either buy garters on Amazon (been using something like these for 10 years) or if you're handy with a thread and needle, sew an elastic band across the corners of your fitted sheets.
The only way to keep the middle of the sheet from wrinkling is having it fit perfectly and not move while you toss and turn.
The obvious thing is to take a deep fitted sheet or mattress pad with strong elastic all around and put it over the topper and the mattress. You can also use some of those clip on elastic bands that fasten across the corners of the fitted sheet to pull it tight.
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-fasteners-Adjustable/dp/B00451BG2G/
If you mean you already did that and it was not enough, then put a tight-fitting cover on the topper (if there is not already one). If you are lucky, you can find a topper cover that has elastic bands already sewn onto each of the corners. If you cannot find one like that, then get some wide and heavy elastic from the store and sew some on yourself. Or you can use the long elastic-band clip "sheet suspenders" attached to the topper cover to hold it in place.
https://www.amazon.com/ORIGINAL-Sheet-Suspenders-fastener-featured/dp/B0014AMBWK/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064D0PBG/
Also, if your mattress topper cover does not already have a rubbery bottom, you can get a piece or two of non-slip grip material that is also used to keep rugs from sliding, and put it between the topper and the mattress.
This won't help you get the sheets changed, but it may help keep them tucked in. For my sister with CP we have the fitted sheet and the top sheet sewn together at the foot. It really helps her keep her top sheet on the bed for longer.
Also, make sure you're buying fitted sheets that are extra deep, even if you don't have a very thick mattress. Those will go on better. And, if possible, try using sheet clips. Like these: https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-fasteners-Adjustable/dp/B00451BG2G
Sorry the brain drain has got you too!
I'm still kind of new to posting things besides text, so I hope this link works:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sheet-Suspenders-fasteners-Adjustable/dp/B00451BG2G
I don't sell these and it's not an affiliate link or anything. If it didn't work, you can search "sheet straps" on Amazon or Walmart or Bed Bath & Beyond.
If you aren't in North America, try any home supply store that carries bedding supplies!
P. S. It was a lot easier when my very tall, long-armed husband put the clips in after the sheet was on because he could reach around the corners with the pack and play walls set up.
Today i am going to bake some chicken boobs, and make a chocolate cake thing, play some games, reddit, maybe nap. Its my day off XD
You need a body pillow you can fold it up behind you, lounge on bed and read revisions, make notes, or just nap! if you're gonna be working at least be relaxed :D
Optional: nose away! :P
Who needs revision?!
The best thing I ever did for sleep-pain is definitely learn to sleep on my back. I've not personally experimented with mattresses, but as for hardware, I loooove my foam pillow with neck support (like this one, though not exact https://www.amazon.com/Support-Washable-Orthopedic-Sleepers-Standard/dp/B06XCPQ4Y7 ) and to use a body pillow I bought (similar: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004TMHX1E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524624888&amp;sr=1-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=31bTUDefTpL&amp;ref=plSrch ) to go underneath my knees when I'm on my back to take strain off my hips, or put it between my knees and elbows if I'm on my side. They also make pregnancy pillows for extra support!

Like that ^ basically. Got one at Target.
Thank you for the detailed steps on how to acquire a daki. I think for the pillow case I will use these images, I also ordered this inner pillow through Amazon, now I just need to smuggle it into my room without my parents finding out.
[This] (http://www.amazon.com/Totoro-Design-Bigsofa-2-7x1-7m-Sleeping/dp/B00BQ3HVHK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&amp;colid=YFAIB8TWHS24&amp;coliid=I3G4MLF1NSJJW2) is my most expensive item on my wishlist.
A Totoro bed? Who WOULDN'T want one? I'd love it, and I wanted something nice for my basement to watch movies on. My matress is also giving out on me and i think it would be super comfy. I mean, I could live on without this, sure, but I wouldn't want to. Its just too cute <3
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds!
Totoro bed. Though I found some on ebay that are a little bit cheaper. Yes I'm an adult who wants a giant totoro bed. Don't judge me.
This thing is my coolest item it's defiantly super super expensive. I was gonna link a crossbow, but this was cooler thanks for hosting<3
Happy happy cake day! And thanks for this contest! I had a lot of fun doing this!
20.It's cheap and it smells like heaven!
Totoro bed. I would feel soooooo bad doing "the nasty" on poor Totoro. XD
I require that cat one (#13) oh my god.
Craziness
I don't actually use bookmarks!... so much as random pieces of paper. I want to hang it on the WALL. I work at a publishing company that sells books. Naturally it would do well on my board at work.
If money want an issue I'd get this totoro bed. It looks so comfy and it's totoro, which I loved as a kid, before Disney ruined it!

Have you tried a lumbar support cushion? I have one of these at work and one for my chair at home and they've been a lifesaver for my back.
Does having your feet up high make it easier for you to sit because you are then leaning a bit more forward, taking pressure off the low back? You could do this by using a stool under your feet, but that might actually end up causing tension in your shoulders, neck and upper back. Because those parts are pushed forward, they are no longer supported by the spine, which will eventually cause pain.. I am thinking the best way to ease the lower back and also support the entire back, (middle and upper) would be to place a cushion behind the low back, or get a chair that is specifically designed for lumbar support. Below is a link to a chair cushion. Might be worth checking out.
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/LoveHome-Balanced-Firmness-Designed-Computer/dp/B00D5J7SL2?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
My wife got me a lumbar support for my desk chair similar to this one
https://www.amazon.com/LoveHome-Balanced-Firmness-Designed-Computer/dp/B00D5J7SL2/
It makes so much of a difference since I have back issues. I love it so much, she got me a similar one for my car seat
this is what I have. got it on amazon and I’ve had it for years.
I like spectrum coconut oil, which is carried at whole foods. I use it as an occasional mask when i have some time to let it soak in and then wash it out well at home. any brand will do through!
Whenever I shower, I use head & shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner AS my shampoo, followed by [this mask] (http://www.sephora.com/dont-despair-repair-deep-conditioning-mask-P388628?skuId=1784636&amp;icid2=products%20grid:p388628). When I get out of the shower I use this towel that doesn't break my hair because it's microfiber. Then I rub this camellia oil through my hair with my fingers and lay it on really thick if my hair's looking dry. I don't brush my hair anymore because I'm too afraid of breakage.
I sleep on this pillowcase which has helped to not break my hair as well!
Take fish oil capsules if you aren't already, they will help. Lay off of styling products and take a break from brushing if you can.
I heard slilk or satin, but no idea.
This is on Amazon
Haha omg. So sorry! I was replying to someone else about cushion cases and forgot what context your message was about since I sent it from my inbox.
I purchased this Alaska Bear brand silk pillowcase from Amazon.
I will warn you that they get SUPER dirty looking super fast. Drool, makeup - stains it. I would steer clear from a white silk one because it just looks so gross after like a week haha. I buy this one off of Amazon and end up getting a new one every 3-4 months, so it's not that bad of a deal! Not staticky for me at all. It also feels really nice on my skin :)
I was using Wal-Mart basic pillows until I bought this from Amazon. It's amazingly comfy. Their "always cool gel" technology doesn't always work but the memory foam meets my needs.
Here's a link to the pillow I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MGLOX40/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also lol @ getting murdered in my sleep. The place I work is a huge gated tech campus where a bunch of companies rent office space. It has a private gym, two cafeterias, hundreds of security cameras, and a small army of guards patrolling the grounds 24/7. It's perfectly safe for a mid-afternoon nap.

hi there! i run /r/buyamattress !
happy to help
unless you want to spend the money on a latex mattress (it's better for sex and it'll last longer than regular polyfoam), i'd recommend you go to www.foambymail.com and pick up 4-6" of HD foam (firm) for the base layer (the more you weigh, the more reason you should get 6" instead of 4"...the price difference is negligible) and then depending on your preference, get a super soft 2-3" top layer, medium 2-3" top layer or even a 2-3" memory foam (i'd recommend the gel memory foam, as regular memory foam sleeps hot but the gel helps keep you cool) if and only if you prefer the feel of memory foam.
e.g. base layer http://www.foambymail.com/LHQ_2/lux-hq-foam-mattress.html
e.g. super soft top layer http://www.foambymail.com/SS_2/super-soft-foam-mattress.html
These two together, in a queen, is under $250 (including shipping).
e.g. memory foam topper http://www.foambymail.com/V_4/4lb-memory-foam-topper.html
are you a front, back or side sleeper? if you sleep on your stomach, you want a very thin pillow. on your side, you want a pillow that lines up with your spine (so your neck isn't at an angle down or up) and for back sleepers, again, you want to keep your spine aligned. lots of pillows now let you remove the foam from them. this is the one i use personally, remove as much foam as necessary. https://smile.amazon.com/Brooklyn-Bedding-Talalay-Latex-Pillow/dp/B00WJ0AGH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492669110&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=brooklyn+bedding+latex+pillow
finally, i'd recommend you buy foam "wedges" for any pressure points. for instance, knee pain pts like sleeping with foam between their legs, so their bad leg isn't angled downward when sleeping on their side. foambymail will make any type of wedge you ask for, or you can find various ones on amazon. e.g., https://smile.amazon.com/ComfiLife-Orthopedic-Pillow-Sciatica-Pregnancy/dp/B01ARJ7SBM/ref=sr_1_1?srs=8537175011&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492669352&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=foam+knee+pillow
as an aside, if you do wnat to buy latex, do NOT buy from foambymail (all their other foams are fine but the latex is not good quality!). i have three latex mattresses, all from brooklyn bedding/dreamfoam bedding and can't be happier. but these are $1500+ if you really want the benefits of latex and you have a very firm foam base layer already, you can buy a 2-3" medium topper for $300-500 (queen or king sized).
nb: i have no financial incentive in anything i've recommended, i'm a happy customer of all and recommend these items regularly to my pts
I'm not a doctor but it sounds like sciatica. Buy this, https://www.amazon.com/ComfiLife-Orthopedic-Pillow-Sciatica-Pregnancy/dp/B01ARJ7SBM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=hip+pillow&amp;qid=1574298623&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQkpBQU9aS1gyUUI5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTQxNjI3NThGNlc1TUE0Nk9aJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0ODc0ODQyM0xIWjNXVklIUENGJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=, and do band work.
I hate that you're having so much back pain. Mine has finally subsided. Here's a few things what might be helping me.
Desk job here also. I bought this for my chair. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IJNJAZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Jgz.zb12W822H
Here's my maternity belt: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0113WE0QS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_yMnUTP6iIT3gX
Otherwise, I started doing squats, slow and controlled, 5-7 days a week and that seems to have helped tremendously.
I hope you get some relief!
I am also interested in this! I had a sentinel shipped in today, and the lumbar support pillow is way too stiff. I thought it was in my mind until I used the softer U-shaped neck pillow on my lower back, and omg, it felt perfect.
I'm thinking about purchasing the Everlasting Comfort 100&#37; Pure Memory Foam Back Cushion on Amazon. Free one-day shipping is ideal!
https://www.amazon.com/YnM-Weighted-Blanket-Cotton-Material/dp/B073429DV2
I'll add that I don't have many skin sensitivity sensory issues, but it doesn't seem scratchy to me and I sleep naked underneath it, though you could probably just put it on top of whatever blanket you currently use.
I don't have any issues with excessive heat, but I tend to only use that blanket and also I keep the temperature at 68 F at night in the winter. I imagine I won't be able to use it much in summer, but it works for now.
Ive only had it for two months, though, but I have no complaints so far.
Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/YnM-Weighted-Blanket-Cotton-Material/dp/B073429DV2/ref=sr_1_4?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1543021333&sr=1-4&keywords=weighted+blanket
I don't know what you are looking for, but this one comes just a little under $70 and is 15 pounds.
This, YnM brand is the type I have, i believe 17lb in a Full size? I adore it. Still need to buy a cover for it almost a year later but it’s softened up enough to not be uncomfortable on my skin, and the weights are distributed throughout the filling very comfortably
Grabbed this one
I used to have this blanket and never had that problem! It was a really great blanket. ZonLi Adults Weighted Blanket 20 lbs(60''x80'', Grey, Queen Size), Cooling Weighted Blanket for Adult, 100% Cotton Material with Glass Beads https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075W94KB3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_r371DbTAG1SVG
I'm normally pretty supportive of whatever crazy stuff ends up on this subreddit, but not this. If you really wanted to make a weighted blanket yourself you can get glass beads from arts and craft stores and sew them into a quilt or something (or just buy one they're not that expensive.)
What you made is garbage. It's not washable, it's not really breathable, the duct tape adhesive will eventually oxidize and the rice will fall out. Then it will attract insects (if it isn't already.)
https://www.amazon.com/Nicolas-Sequin-Pillow-Pillowcase-Mermaid/dp/B07FCG1HPG
This one is stilly, but I adore it.
This pillow case is freaking fabulous. Something about it just puts a smile of my face and makes me so happy! I definitely want this pillow case sooo much and would hope other would want it too!
