Bit of a two part question really,
every fortnight I sleep over at boyfriend/DP’s house, (he can’t come to mine easily as has his son all the time whereas my dc are away eow). We’ve been together a year and it’s going really well. We feel quite committed. No plans to blend families or move in or anything.
I love snuggling with him but don’t sleep particularly well there and have realised it’s because pain in my hip wakes me up and I have to turn over but I’m used to only sleeping on my left side.
firstly - can mattresses cause this? It feels quite firm and I think it’s quite old. What topper/mattress would be better? I don’t get it on mine which is probably a cheaper type of Ikea mattress and is I think softer. I always thought I preferred a firmer one but clearly this one doesn’t agree with my body/sleeping position!
secondly - not sure how or whether to broach this. Obviously I’m only there for 1-2 nights a fortnight so can’t expect him to buy a new mattress for my benefit!
Should I offer to buy a topper for his mattress? He’s a back sleeper so probably likes the firm mattress.
he’s very kind and considerate but I don’t want him to feel obliged to spend money on a new mattress as they are ££! On the other hand it is quite knackered and I think he has mentioned before he was going to replace the bed
