I took off a lot of weight four years ago and have kept it off.

But I finally had to buy a softer mattress. As I experienced similar issues.

For a few years a mattress pad helped, but I was finally able to actually buy a new mattress.

I don’t buy many things, the original lasted me 25 years and the pad did help for about two. They have good prices on mattress pads at Costco. I preferred latex to memory foam ( because I live in a super hot climate and the latex keeps me a bit cooler) and was able to get a softer one online.

The softer mattress has really helped.

Also I found these little wool seat covers to put on my wooden chairs. That also helped.

Good luck! Good work!
