help - hard bed in rented house causing back probs

top_drawer_2

hi,

I think I have sorted it now, I bought a memory foam one off Ebay and received it yesterday afternoon - it was huge so I had some trouble getting it in the house! Thank god I have a downstairs room. I slept well last night (apart from my friend sleeping over who snored and grinded her teeth ALL night), long may it continue!!

Many thanks for all the advice,

Jen

hi again,

Well I have moved ... into a different house and things are going well with regard to new housemates etc.

However, I am having one problem ... the bed - its rock hard and this week I have been in a lot of pain getting up in the morning as I am so stiff. It carries on all day and when Im sat (like now) the bottom of my back is aching like mad!! Im struggling to work on my degree stuff for more than a couple of hours and no amount of stretching seems to help ....

I know its not money saving but I really couldnt think where else to put this as this house is rented and the bed was provided with the room - its brand new and from IKEA so its supposed to be quality stuff.

Really hoping someone can advise .....

Who told you Ikea beds were 'quality stuff'?? :rotfl:

As the bed was provided with the accomodation then you obviously don't want to have to buy a new mattress. Also I presume that being from Ikea it is a continental size. So I think your best bet would be to look for continental size toppers on ebay, but if you don't have any luck then buy a mattress pad from Ikea.
