Is anyone here having issues with bones- like when we were all big and cushy the bed was comfy but now hip bones and shoulders and the like are aching from laying on them? Or you can feel every spring in the bed (even though it is a god bed). How do you deal, if yes? I wake up with sore hips. I recently tried sleeping on my back (thought I never could b4 I can now) but I prefer to sleep on my belly or on my side.

Yeah, my DH calls me the "princess" all the time because of this... I mostly have problems with my hips in the morning - feel like I've been sleeping directly on a mattress spring. I also have trouble taking a bath (which I used to love)... now it just plain hurts my butt and my backbone to sit in the tub I complain all the time, but I still wouldn't trade it for the old fat me!!!

Funny isn't it? "Before" it was a chore to climb in and out of the tub - now it's painful to be IN the tub. Hmmm...a fat girl can't get a break neither can a formerly fat girl!

Isn't it amazing how you can now feel all your bones? I find if I try to sleep with my legs together on my side, my knees hurt each other with one laying on top of the other. And I have the hip problem too. For Christmas we got a 4" memory foam mattress topper. It actually helps!

I also have the same issues. Mostly with my knees and hips. It is just weird how you have to re-learn how to get comfortable to sleep!! I have also thought about getting a mattress topper,even though our bed is also new and suppose to be very comfortable. I don't think the bed is the issue, it is us getting use to our new bodies!!

Hi Olivia! I have had problems with this for a couple of months. I just bought a 4" memory foam mattress topper for my bed at Costco! OMG, it is the best money I have ever spent! My bed is so comfortable now, I love it! Hope this helps! Good luck! Sue
