I have a viscoelastic foam mattress that really helps my fibromyalgia pain. VF is very supportive and responsive to contours because it responds to body heat. It gets really warm in winter, which is good. Problem: It also gets really hot in summer, which is bad. Right about this time of year I switch it for a regular mattress, which is cooler but not so supportive, and I know I can expect to wake up stiff on it, as opposed to limber but steamed on whichever side I slept on, and dazed with heat. I wonder if there's a better way...

Does anyone know of a kind of mattress that is very supportive but does not heat up with the sleeper's body heat?

An air mattress or waterbed would support without getting hot. Sleeping in a heated situation is not good for you as its causing dehydration which will increase the pain from Fibromyalgia.

Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day.

There are 2 considerable motives: a million. the froth exchange into no longer allowed to thoroughly treatment only before being packaged, and 2. The glue used between the froth layers exchange into no longer given sufficient time to dry in the previous being packaged. to cut back the scent, stand the mattress upright in a properly-ventilated room for some days. If that would not paintings, positioned the mattress on the floor and supply it the "white sock" medical care (positioned on some sparkling white socks and walk around on it for countless minutes) and then stand upright as quickly as returned. additionally, positioned a cup of white vinegar close to the mattress. Optimally putting your mattress outdoors the place the wind can get at this is the ultimate, yet do no longer positioned the mattress in direct photograph voltaic: UV mild will harm down the froth and cut back its existence-expectancy.
