We tried an inflatable bed once on holiday. OH being the heavier, I was bounced in the air whilst he was subsumed by the bed. It was cold, into the bargain and tended to gurgle at odd moments. Not an experience we've ever repeated.

We have a wool mattress, topper and duvet cover best bed I have ever slept in. It cost an arm and both legs but it's worth it.
DH feels the cold so I'm his little hottie.

Talking of beds....just after we got married we stayed at the in laws and my lovely FIL had installed a greenhouse heater in the bed to warm it up (no one knows why!).....ten minutes after we got in the bed set alight! I have never felt so embarrassed shouting the bed is on fire when only newly married!!!!

Flower, I had a similar experience with an inflatable bed. I was unaccompanied and sometime during the night, I woke up and thought there was something funny about the bed. Then I found that I couldn't get out. I was deep in the middle and every time I tried to climb over the side, I rolled back. Eventually, I managed to crawl to the end of the bed and scramble out. Then summoned DS who had inflated the thing for me.

Will there be a surge of deliveries in maternity units 9 months from now?

Flower, your story brought back the memory of when my brother was in hospital years ago. He was in a very special hospital bed ( because he had a large and nasty bedsore.) It was self inflating, and one day the mechanism went haywire. We visitors didn't notice at first, then realised that he was disappearing, his wife rang for a nurse who came running in and tried to put things right, she had to run out to get another nurse who managed to stop it. By then my brother looked like a rabbit peeping out of its burrow, and everyone was creased up with laughing so much. I had completely forgotten about it until I read your post. Now I'm sitting here laughing my head off.

It takes a heck of a lot to make me too warm in bed. I have a MF pillow which I hope is taking the weight of my painful back joint. When I had my shoulder tendons repaired in a private hospital on the NHS the mattress and the chair were both made of MF . The mattress gave me no back support when sitting which was very uncomfortable.
