One of my relatives who had bypass a few years ago, suggested that i sleep in a recliner chair. Let me tell you, it helped a milion with the pain, I was sleeved on 2/6/2012... getting in and out of bed hurt so bad, but now sleeping in recliner pain is almost gone, dont even feel like i need the meds.

Agree- it helps so much during recovery. I couldn't get in bed with all the pain so the recliner it was for a few weeks. Glad your pain is going away. good luck to you as you continue on this journey!

Thanks so much sunnyd! feels good to get to this point!

In the hospital, I slept in a reclining position, it was too painful to get up and down.

Thumbs up for the recliner! Got mine on Thursday and wish I had it two weeks ago, right after my surgery. Rolling off the couch is no fun. BTW, why are hospital beds 10 feet off the ground?

oh wow, a new recliner, lucky u!

I slept two or three nights in a recliner after I came home.
