[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 486397, member: 84"] Janet a couple of weeks prior to husband's heart attack I told him we were using part of the retirement money for twin beds. He was NOT happy about it either. But I put my foot down. Like I said with all his flip flopping and leg shifting and getting up and down all night running to the bathroom.......well neither of us were sleeping worth a hoot. And he needed something fairly firm and thick due to the weight, while I can't do very firm or I'm not going to drift off to sleep. We did decide to keep them in the same room though, like his parents did. And you betcha I used that his parents had to break down and finally do it for the same reason, too. (it's what wore him down) The bed we shared had been his great aunts, the mattress and box springs had been hers too. She'd had them at least 25 yrs. We had them at least 25 yrs. I could always easily sleep on it alone.......although he still had trouble if he was alone in the bed. It didn't give him near enough support. If you can save up for twin beds it's worth a shot at a better night's sleep for both of you. But I will tell you, husband never really got the chronic illness thing either. He tried.......but he just didn't. I guess it's pretty hard to grasp if you're not the one living it. Hugs [/QUOTE]
