I sleep in a hospital bed, only because I can't afford a big girl
bed. The one I had wasn't a good height for transfers and I felt more
comfortable having the rails to pull myself to get dressed. Now Im great at
rolling and want a bigger bed. I also pull the covers over my head while
I'm sleeping when it's cold. I used to not be able to breath when I did
that but love to sleep that way now.

I just sleep on a queen size bed but I have a therapuetic softer mattress
on top that is softer. It was prescribed when I broke my leg 7
years ago. It's great for the skin

Do any of you sleep in a hospital bed with side rails? We pad
son's side rails with pillows so that when he coughs he dont fall into the
rails. this also keeps him much too warm. The pillows hold in the
heat.

When I live in Seattle I was always cold at night and kelp pulling
blankets over my head. As long as my ears were cold, I felt cold. So I slept
with a fleace hat on. It helped a lot. That way I could use fewer blankets,
yet keep my head and ears warm. I might try that tonight. That way I can
keep my ears warm, but sleep with just a thin blanket.

My name's also Greg and I always feel 10 degrees colder than everyone
else in the room. In the winter, I'll cover my head with the blanket
completely and finally fall asleep. About 3 hours later, I wake up
screaming for someone to take it off because I'm burning up!
