I'm not sure what it is, but I've sure been slumbering nicely. So much so that my husband complains that I snore. :) Well, that makes BOTH of us! He's just more sensitive to it. No problem. He just finishes sleeping in the guestroom. In the meantime, I've been so comfortable with my mattress/topper configuration. Even with the chronic sacroiliac issues, I still sleep pretty darn good! Part of it might be because I'm trying to go to bed earlier--by midnight at the latest, preferably earlier if I can. Whatever it is, I'm LOVING it! I just hope it continues.

What have you ultimately ended up with, Jim?

I don't want to jinx myself, but my sacroiliac pain is virtually gone! Or at least hardly apparent at all. I'm not sure if this is short-lived or why suddenly it feels better. I'm hoping it's because I've totally acclimated to my mattress set-up. I'm wondering if the Dream Coil topper is the clincher. I just love the way that thing feels along with the CuddleBed in the morning before I have to get up. The CuddleBed is kind of poofy along the edge of the bed and I like running my hand along it. It's so nice and cushy! In fact, I find it very hard to get out of bed! And, I'm definitely sleeping better. Used to be that everytime I turned, my sacroliac would hurt. Even now if I have any discomfort, it's usually because I've been sleeping in one position for too long. I simply turn over and I feel better. Oh, I hope this lasts! But, like you said, things can change. Sigh.

I hope you get to the bottom of your allergic reaction, jimsocal. If it's not one, it's another.

So happy for you Beddybye. I too had sacro pain that was solved by the right combination of mattress and toppers. I wish Drs. knew to recommend this as a possible solution. Hope you have a lifetime of pain free sleep!
