What do you lay on??

[brenx]

A $4500 bed that was paid for by my work. Don't know what it is but the matress alone was 2.5k! The bed base etc is a decorative solid wood one.

King single. Parents way of stopping me having fun. oh well.

Though owning the wagon I can fit a full size bed with a quilt and pillows in it. Great for when you are at a party and drunk and need somewhere to sleep. Drag out the bed and laugh at everyone sleeping on the floor or couch.

Don't be to worried about your mattress costing you $4500. One of the bedding manufacturers that I deliver to has recently released a bed that retails for $13,000 (not a misprint).All the manufacturers have beds in The $5,000 - $10,000 range. When you see what actually goes into them it actually makes you wonder why they cost so much.Probably that the shops add a minumum of 60% and upwards for their markup.Have known some places to put on 120%. :

When my 2.5 year old son jumps in with us and starts fidgeting i can end up in this, surprisingly comfortable and at least i get some sleep.

tie a tennis ball to the lower part of your back, that way you are forced to lay on your side or you will feel the ball if you lay on your back. I have heard it reduces the effects of snoring. Dont know how much of this is true but it wont hurt to try it if you havent already.

Last resort would be to sleep in seperate rooms, or see a specialist.

Billy Connolly tells a good yarn about having to wear a backpack with a football in it!

We are already past the last resort. Asked the doctor what to do and he said they can only cure sleep apnea, which I dont think I have, that's where you stop breathing, and you have to go into a sleep lab overnight. I just snore flat out. It even annoys her form the other room. She can tolerate it better in winter and at the moment she doesnt tolerate much and takes up more than half the bed as she is 35 weeks pregnant. (We only got married in January '06)

Have you tried looking on the net for some hints?

some cruddy ex-4 post bed (i lopped the posts off with a reciprocating saw) that i got from somewhere, it has about 50 tek screws in it to stop the creaking, but still does, and the matress sucks, it needs to be flipped every 2 weeks coz it sags...
Ive slept (reads:passed out) on a shade sail at a primary school that was more comfy... until the gardener poked me with a rake...

King size 100% 'Latex' mattress, 6 inches thick. Used to be into to waveless waterbeds, not anymore.

Latex is natural rubber with holes drilled every inch all the way through it, best bed you can get.

Twin bladder queen size waveless water bed. Wife complained that I jump around in bed to much hence the twin bladders. Mind you, when the toddler and the bub climb in, I'm off to the sofa.
