Unfortunately, it isn’t a one-size-fits-all purchase. Like everyone, I too suffer from difficulty turning in bed – Thank you PD! 🙁
The silky sheets suggestion is a smart one for starters. Hand/support bars can be useful too.
My hubby and I have completely polar preferences when it comes to mattresses. He likes them soft, I prefer firmer options. We have been getting twin mattresses and using king fitted sheets to stay connected. We have tempurpedic with adjustable bases and it is still hard to move even on my ‘firmer’ side. Recently, we replaced a mattress at our cabin with the same type of bases and much softer memory foam. He LOVES this, but it’s even harder for me to move in the softer mattress – but it IS quite comfortable. Our solution will be grab bars which we have yet to install…I figure I’ll be getting an upper body workout first thing in the am 😉
Best wishes in finding a solution that works for you.
