not AIBU but I’m in pain everyday 🫠

i have a herniated disc in my neck which has got much better but is now lingering at the same pain level for a few months.

does anyone have some mattress topper recommendations? I’m a side sleeper

I have a Panda one. I don’t have neck pain but always used to wake with back pain until I got it. A friend who has arthritis recommended it to me and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought. I’m a side / front sleeper.

@CaffeinatedMum can I ask what's special about it ?

We got a panda it’s lovely. We got it because my partner’s about five stone heavier than me and likes to sleep right next to me, and drags me into his dip.
I have back trouble, arthritis and sciatica and my back was killing me.
The panda topper is soft but quite supportive. The hammock is more or less gone I don’t know how long it’ll last though.

I have 3" memory foam one from amazon, no particular make, for lower back (probable bulging disc which causes sciatica), however, if its your neck as a side sleeper it's your pillow you need to be looking at. I read an article recently which says you need memory foam 10-14cm deep to allow room for your shoulder and correct alignment of your spine.

I second the Panda one. Transformational & good value for money.
