I fell asleep in my recliner last night, woke up at 5 a.m. best sleep I had in a long time.
Love your videos and your advice! There’s no “x” in especially. It’s like chalk on a chalkboard when Bob says expecially.
I actually thought of just staying in my
Recliner tonight . My couch is all ready prepped for emergency middle of the night ,,, 👀 open night ... hopefully not 🙏👍🤞
Recliner with pillow relieved my sciatica pain
I had Sciatica severely on right side and could not sleep in bed for about a year. Had PT and online workouts for Seniors. Now able to sleep comfortably in bed. So there is hope. Thanks for this video. 💕
I been sleeping on my couch past 15yrs..i luv it . Itslike a sleeping bag .
Bob and Brad, I usually love your stuff, but I have to tell you… I have tried everything from a large wedge to a thin folded towel, and every weight and variation in between. I ALWAYS wake up with lower back pain, no matter how I try to support myself from a lie-flat position. I bought an expensive, medium firm, mattress composed of dual layers of pocket springs with a latex top. Same result. It just breaks my heart when I see you trot out the orthodoxy about wedges and pillows. In the few times I've slept in a recliner, I stayed asleep and I awoke without pain. How can that be bad? Besides, the recliners you can get from medical suppliers often have adjustable lumbar support. In addition, a recliner with separate motors for head and feet will allow you to get into a position that will decrease snoring or elevate your feet to reduce oedema. A chair that could achieve even two out of three things for me would be a huge advantage. Nothing can beat the comfort of being cradled in a decent recliner. the chair you showed in your video does none of these things.
@iamunce Hi I enjoyed your comment. Have you found a great sleeping recliner that you could recommend me? I also have mid back pain and must sleep on my back to minimize it. I don't yet feel it necessary to have a "lift" or "assisted exit" chair yet, just something nice to sleep in. Thanks.
Same; lower back pain every night. I bought 2500€ memory foam mattress... Still I get best, painless sleep in my cheap recliner 😵
They said that it puts your back in a flexed forward posture, which is true, and is also unhealthy for you back.
You get used to sleeping like that and have pain if you lay flat, because your are training your body into a detrimental position (forward flexed).
What you’re describing is a self fulfilling prophecy… you sleep better in a recliner because you are adapted to it, not because it is better for you.
@Bob & Brad, Hi Bob & Brad, I have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. I've tried sleeping in a bed and it's way too painful for me to get comfortable to sleep. I have to sleep in my recliner to get sleep. I actually sleep very well in my recliner and I wake up feeling very rested. I was diagnosed with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis about 10 years ago.
Excellent video! I have been sleeping in a recliner for over ten years!!! It's mostly due to shoulder, wrist, and hip pain.
Wow. None of the problems Bob and Brad mentioned in video?
I’ve been sleeping in the recliner for the last few years. I put a bit of wood under the front of the recliner so that I lay back a bit more when reclined and it’s so much better than sleeping in the bed. Easier to get up in the morning helps a lot with hernia pain and back pain and hip pain and the chair is perfectly contoured to the body. Where is the bed offers no support whatsoever.
The position on the table is exactly how I have to lay on the floor almost 24/7 when my sciatica is active. It is the only position I can be in without terrible pain. I use the hassock instead of the block.
My Chiropractor, pain meds, the shots in the spine do not touch it unless I live on the floor. When the back pain lets up a bit, CBD helps a bit.
I have much empathy for anyone suffering with back issues. Thanks B&B!
Get nerve abalation treatment.
I had to sleep in my recliner after both of my shoulder surgeries, so I wouldn't roll over and try to sleep on the wrong shoulder. It was very comfortable! My recliner goes back to almost flat, and has good back support.
Good video! I sleep in a (VERY EXPENSIVE) La-Z-Boy rocking recliner every night, on account of my COPD. I can breathe easier in this recliner than the bed, when I would be using a wedge under my back. I can't quite get the bed head elevated enough with my bed, even with a tall wedge.
Me too!!
Yeah, nobody could sleep in that cheap Archie Bunker recliner they have there. Did they get it at a thrift store?
I'm literally having a SLAP tear surgery this Tuesday may 19,2020 and was told need to sleep in a recliner. Great timing! Thank you.
Wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!
I have sciatica and my weight has been a problem (getting this resolved with my endocrinologist). I weigh 265 and sleep on a couch for comfort. I have a recliner, but it kills my lower back. Adding a small roll pillow to my lower back helps right away. It’s made of memory foam and has made a difference. It fills that gap nicely.
I saw the thumbnail on this video and wasn't sure if this was a joke. I'm a short overweight woman. I've been sleeping on my recliner for years. I cannot sleep flat. The pain to get up off the bed and walk is excruciating. I'm thinking of saving up for an adjustable bed with a memory foam mattress. It's super expensive but I don't see another way to stop sleeping in my recliner. Now my legs are restless. I wore a Fitbit to check my sleep patterns and I wake up over 20 times. I wake up every time I have to turn over. I can't even sleep in one position for too long. I become stiff. I feel like The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. My weight didn't cause my backpain but it has made it worse. My back pain however did cause my weight gain because I can no longer ride my bike, skate, go to the gym. I had a car accident a few years ago and that was the beginning of me sleeping on the recliner.
I'm confused. Sleeping in bed with pillows or a wedge under your knees causes your pelvis to tuck and flattens/rounds your back inward. But you're saying that in a recliner, you should use lower lumbar support to keep your back swayed/curved in just the opposite direction. Which is it? I have sciatica, scoliosis, spondolysthesis, and arthritis throughout my lower spine and sacroilliac. The only way I can sleep without pain (or pain meds) is either to have 2 pillows under my legs with my pelvis tilted forward and my back flattened, or in a recliner.
Duloxitine/Cymbalta has also helped the pinched nerves in my back.
Tell my younger self not to have ridden so many horses, especially the one whose owner said was the sweetest, gentlest thing but turned out to be a bucking bronco. That was the back killer. Landed hard on my tailbone from a significant height.
if you have watched many videos about sitting and and lying down for back pain you'll notice that there is no one best solution for all.. the secret is to understand what position is giving you pain and preventing you from resting you should avoid that.. during pain period rest is king, therefore sleep is emperor, whatever works for you as long as you get that well night sleep - DO IT!..
but of course movement is also needed it circulates the blood and promote healing.. whatever stretches and exercise that you are doing that do not exacerberate the symptomps do it too
Thanks for being honest that there is no One Fit All Bull. Worth trying.
Sleeping in a recliner has really seemed to help improve my digestive function.
How long have you slept in recliner? No problems that Bob and Brad mentioned in video? I have to get one because I can't sleep. Side sleeper...both sides cause nerve pain.
@@captainmorgan5449 had to quit sleeping in the recliner about a month ago because my back & neck were beginning to become problematic.
Sleep with 4 large pillows to prop me up from waist up in bed lately.
Side sleeper too- pillows under shoulders have been essential to prevent impingement pain- cannot for the life of me fall asleep on backside.
Found an old obus-forme back support when unpacking decor- slept in the chair with that, kept my spine aligned nicely, woke up feeling ok.
Hope you find a sleep solution to help get a better night's rest asap🤞🙏
@@miss.apprehended
Ok. Sorry to hear that. Yes, I hope sleeping on recliner will be temporary. I need a full night rest. I snore..when I tried to sleep on back, I choked. Will see sleep specialist this week. Make a splint mouth guard or C pap machine will resolve that and I can go back to a bed.
Bob and Brad, many of my patients have orthropnea secondary to sleep apnea. Many of these patients cannot sleep laying down, it it is also a potential sign of congestive heart failure. The inability of sleeping in a bed has many negative side effects both orthopedic and may actually be a sign of cardiopulmonary issues.Sleep is important , when you sleep well you hurt less. Thanks for all your informative work you both do. Thomas Fleishman RRT.
yes, as a geriatric nurse, this was the main reason i saw for patients refusing to sleep in bed. sleeping in recliner relatively upright puts pressure on the lower back and hips. how can we help these patients?
What is the name of the black recliner support you used and where to get one? Thanks Cindy , Illinois .
I posted this somwhere else too. But my ancestors used to sleep in bedboxes in which you were always sleeping with your back raised upwards like this or even more steeply. You wouldnt slump as your feet were against the wall.
I'm looking to replicate this myself and hopefully get some really good sleep.
Great vid- a lumbar roll would work great to and not take up as much space as the pillow.
Very informative
I was just planning
And i have the sciatic issues
I have a recliner that goes almost flat. It's perrrfect. It's just the right amount of support in all the right places.
People have come to my house, gotten on the recliner, fallen asleep and slept for hours.
Someone needs to design and market a therapeutic recliner.
What brand recliner do you have? I have nerve entrapment in both shoulders, and an angry vagus nerve in my neck. I just bought a 4k Sealy mattress with a zero gravity adjustable base. My first night sleeping in it was yesterday and I am in misery.
What brand and model of recliner have you got? Thank you.
🌲🌝☘️
Fine.. keep your secrets but I too would like to know
Fourteen years in a recliner now. I don't even own a bed anymore. Gotta have the pillow under my butt and another under my feet though. Tried all the fancy wedges and stuff. It was all wasted money for me, though.
Best wishes, mate. This is exactly what I want to avoid. I like to be athletic, but I'm afraid I'll hurt myself to the point that it seriously interferes with day to day (or night) life. Hope you're doing alright! :)
I'm lucky to have no back pain at all, but I find I just sleep better in a more upright position. I've been sleeping like this for years with no problems.
Did Brad identify the lumbar support he uses? I have watched that portion of video several times, went to your website & looked at products you guys love BUT I don't see that particular cushion...please identify it, source it. Thank you, I have had four back surgeries, one knee surgery & shoulder surgery. Arthritis isn't fun!!!
Boy, Bob's sure correct.....there are some of us that hurt so much that the recliner is the only solution.
Geezzz I am so sore lately I have switched the recliner a few days
I also wanted to mention my father slept in something called a sleep chair for years they actually came with a mattress and lay totally flat although my father because of his surgeries are they actually sit with his hips almost like he was sitting in a chair but he was very comfortable in the sleep chair and slept in it every single night for about five years before he died. Very unique design I have to find it on the Internet again but it was really a great idea
I would love to be able to sleep in my recliner so thank you guys so much for your tips. I’m suffering from sciatica right now.
This helps many people
How is your sciatica now? Better?
Ughhhhh. After having right side surgery to repair my labrum, hill-sachs lesion, torn bicep, and a broken humerus at 26 I could NOT sleep. I sleep on my side. I also CAN'T sleep sitting up. I'm against pain killers 100% after having shingles when I was 21 (Advice...DON'T clear a 30 foot jump on a bike then hit a root on the trail aand bounce into a tree at like 26mph) and becoming dependent on percocet. After basicially becoming addicted to the crap I wish I'd never taken it. After I was out of pain meds I couldn't sleep in a recliner or sitting up at all. I always sleep on my side, and that recovery was horrible. I can't sleep sitting up. It took like 10 pillows to wedge me in a way that my right shoulder had no pressure on it.
Love the channel guys. It's awesome to know what to do to rehab and strengthen all of these various injuries. I recently also dislocated my left shoulder just throwing a football :( My ortho surgeon told me I have hyperlax joints and that's why I keep getting hurt. Would you guys agree with that? My mom also had a loose shoulder that she dislocated while surfing. Is this a genetic thing?
Can the 2 most famous PTs on the internet help strengthen both of my shoulders so I can play sports again without needing more surgery?! I wish I lived near you guys. My last 2 PTs sucked.
What is the name of that black back support that you use at home and in your car that you demoed Brad?
I would like to know where to get that as well.
Where is the link for the full lumbar cushion that Brad uses for his car, chair etc...? No link, no brand name, unable to see the maker's mark on the video due to being too far from the camera. Any help?
Hello, enjoying your channel. Could you please share the back support (memory foam) used by Brad? Thank you
I fell asleep in my recliner one night by accident and when I woke up I could actually walk a little better and was in less pain! I was so thankful! However, I'm in a relationship now and want to share a bed but am finding it very difficult to sleep. I have lumbar spinal stenosis as well as a herniated disc or two. What should I do?
Get a recliner next to your partners side?
@sirus312 thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Try sleeping on stomach
I have seen recliner couches: two attached recliners, side by side. That might be your answer for sleeping together? Blessings!
My mom sleeps in recliner but we got her temperpedic adjustable base
it helps too but she goes bk firth between bed and chair
It depends on your recliner!!! That old 1970's Archie Bunker recliner they are using doens't lay down flat enough for any use! In my La-z-boy, I can lie back pretty far, and put a pillow under my thighs and get into an almost identical position to a zero gravity chair. For me, it works best if I sleep in the bed on my side for about 6 hours, then get up and spend 1.5 -2 hours in the recliner.
Great information guys thank you
With my current sciatica bout if I lay in a bed with wedges the pain is worse after I lay on my bed. Like unable to breath worse. I got my hands on a recliner yesterday but I’m still hurting from trying to lay down yesterday. There is no way I can sleep in a bed
Sir, in pinched nerve case what to do if the pain from one side of the neck transferred to other side and so on again & again....pls give a reply☺️
Same! Especially when laying
I have the same issue?
Same! Scalene muscles are notorious for this.
Thanks guys.
Honestly I tried many beds, different setups, pillows here and there. I sleep better on my recliner couch than the beds I’ve tried. In bed I snore too much, wake up with a foggy brain, my legs hurt, my neck hurts, my back hurts etc etc. I also toss & turn less while on my couch! I recorded myself many times while sleeping, in any bed I snore like crazy! In a reclining position I barely snore!
Recovering from recent open heart bypass. Looking to sleep well in my recliner
Lol who's the one person to dislike this? Good video as always. Thanks guys!
The 2nd most famous PT on the internet (in my opinion of course).
Thanks Gents!
What is the name of the memory foam support pillow in the recliner did Brad say he uses?
I have severe back pain I am having a huge problem of continuously falling out of my bed 345 times a night and during the day I don’t know what the problem is I just seem to slide out and wake up on the floor I tried buying a bed rail I have an adjustable bed and it literally destroyed my bed to the point I had to actually buy a new bed I tried a different type of rail but all it does is move and I end up on the floor again I am desperate to figure out a solution to this problem. I’m thinking about buying a lift chair to sleep in every now and then I’ve slept in my recliner while it’s OK I can’t imagine doing it for more than one or two times .
It’s going to the point where it’s difficult for me to get up I’m having more and more problems because of a two amputation and sores on my feet but to get up from the floor the only way I can get up is to actually push off with my damaged feet so I need a solution desperately do you know of any bed rails that will go on an adjustable bed without tearing them up?
I there’s also been walking in a surgical shoe where my hips are uneven I’m having a lot of pain to the point I’m having trouble walking or standing without shooting pain and foot pain any and all tips would be greatly appreciated because I’m just going downhill very fast and I’m only 42 years old .
Also thought about going to physical therapy I really enjoy doing pool physical therapy but the problem is most pools around here are shallow and I’m nearly 6 foot tall is only one pool that will do physical therapy but I’m also legally blind and I’m having problems finding anybody that will physically get into the pool with me to do a class or a therapy session because I don’t have enough visual capability to see what’s happening. I know that there’s not a lot of tips for this but I just wanted you to understand what I’m dealing with I’ve also tried getting a arrow with Gene to try to exercise on I bought a bike but I found it very very painful so I have a $300 bike sitting in my back room
Can you tell me what the black wedge is that Brad uses? Brand name? Where it's available,? Thank you.
The brand name of that support is called "kebado". You can get it on Amazon. Bob and Brad have a link for their products on Amazon just below the video. I have one and I love it! I use it in my car all the time. It is the best thing ever!
Thank You
The Kebado Lumbar Pillow has been DISCONTINUED according to the mfg website! :( Can you please recommend another one?
Sorry to hear this, I haven't heard this yet. All I can say now is a memory foam type with similar shape would likely work well.
How do I know what's the best bed to get for someone who's never done thjd before! Lolmt bed suckks I'm ready to sleep in my recliner!
I have a $10K Serta iSleep bed, that goes every which way.
My Palliser theatre room recliner was a lifesaver after my total shoulder replacement surgery!😜
Love you guys!! Every time I scroll through videos I come across yours, can’t help but sing the jingle......... 🎶 two most famous physical therapists on the Internet 🎵
Are there any common mistakes people make when sitting in a recliner chair? I sit on a recliner chair for majority of the day because I work from home on my computer. I am making sure that my screen is at eye level
Whenever I get bouts of vertigo the recliner is my go to!!!
I use a gel ice bag behind my back in my laid back chair...I had lumbar and neck spine fusion, motorcycle accident...memory foam on "our bed" makes it impossible to sleep on...
I only buy Lazy Boy recliners because they are comfortable, but firm, multiple positions you can’t get from other recliners and they last better than any other recliner I’ve tried. I haven’t been able to sleep in a bed for years. I tried multiple wedges and different types of mattresses.
I keep hearing McKenzie, when I was in therapy they avoided McKenzie because typically caused more pain. Arching back causes a bigger pinch, and bone on bone type pain. :(
Could you mention non-McKenzie methods or explain who might not be able to use that method. Thank you ❤️
Cheri Madlom - The McKenzie technique involves ‘extension’ - which is arching backward as when doing the Mini Pushup (sometimes called the Floppy Pushup) which is very helpful for bulging disc problems. If it increases your pain, you most likely have facet joint issues or SI pain (degenerative disc) so ‘flexion’ (bending forward) eases your pain. It is very important to obtain an accurate diagnosis first from a good physiotherapist and be shown the proper exercises for your condition.
Elaine Culbert. It’s been several years since I’ve seen a doctor and several years before that when I received therapy. You nailed it, always feel best bending forward, horrible pain arching. I have spinal cord stimulator. I’ve had faucet injections. I think I remember Them saying degenerative and stenosis. I have ankylosis spondylitis. I never understood what McKenzie was, just knew it caused pain. The only way I get any decent sleep is upright in a recliner. Thank you
Cheri Madlom - You probably have noticed that when walking uphill, it hurts less than walking downhill. This is because (when coming down the hill) the back is, unknowingly, arching backwards somewhat so you remain upright and not tumble down the hill. Again, arching backwards is jamming the facets closer together which hurts. You mention facet injections, are you referring to, perhaps, cortisone shots, or a nerve block or a procedure called rhizolysis. Rhizolysis usually involves an anesthetist cauterizing certain nerves that lead to the facets, thus, stopping the nerves from telling the brain you are hurting. It sounds unpleasant but it isn’t at all.
I sleep face down, always have. I can fall asleep on my back, but my snoring wakes me up right away. No matter what position I start in, i wake up face down. I get great sleep face down, but I hate that I have to,
When I had my c5-c7 fused, I slept in a recliner so I would not turn over on to my shoulder
Sir do muscle loss also cause leg pain?
I had to start sleeping in a recliner in 2008. I couldn't sleep on my side, stimach or flat on my back even with pillows under my knees. Last December a neighbor gave me a hospital bed and I am doing better. I just don't sleep for long no matter where because of the pain. I am lucky to get 2 to 3 hours.
Try heat and ice bags.
are you sleeping ok now? Od do you continue to sleep 2 to 3 hours?
I have to sleep reclined because my lower back can't take laying flat. The problem I have in my neck,, I have no support for my neck in the recliner. So my back loves the recliner my neck not so much. : (
Folded bath towel under neck. Long towel support also head
@@rr-ho6oo I did try that, it didn’t work. What I use is a travel pillow. It supports my neck but I do get neck pain from it. Ugh!! Hopefully someday I can afford a reclining bed or someone makes a pillow for reclining chairs.
I had to do it after heart surgery.
Sleep in a recliner for sleep apnea and a mattress makes low back pain horrible.....but I have a tight psoas.
Beds are unhealthy for many reasons.Probably responsible for a huge amount of back problems. Also since there is alot of room to move you will move from a back friendly position to a harmful one.
After a lower disc herniation I would wake up in my bed in agonizing spasms. i moved to a double recliner where I can alter my position at will with pillows.
I can also lie across the sofa with my legs up on the armrest to take the stress off the lumbar.
I think the days of the bed are coming to an end with sleeping chairs incorporating massage, heat, cooling etc.
What about sleeping on a chaise lounges ??
Worst complaint with my recliner is its too short and I noticed that Brad had the same problem with that chair ,if Bob had been using it you'd have seen the feet hang off-putting a strain on the ankles .
My husband had to sleep in our recliner for 6 weeks after surgery on his elbow and wrist.
Brad reminds me of another "Brett" from the original Alien movie. He always replied with "right", too. 😉
For me, that was one of the worst thing about recovering from a laparoscopy in my abdomen. Both of my shoulders were in severe pain from the gas the surgeon inserted into my abdomen and the gas went straight to my shoulders. And, I also had severe pain in my abdomen. I couldn't sleep in my bed and I couldn't get down onto the floor either. As a result, the only way I could sleep was in a recliner. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. And, my doctor's response was to up the amount of pain killers. *sighs*
You left out one major point: not everyone is physically able to stand up from a bed, or use a graa bar to pull up from a bed. As a stroke survivor who needs assistance to rise from a bed... I use a zero gravity power lift recliner so I can stand up in the morning without any assistance, makin me more independent. If I could afford it I'd purchase one of those expensive lift beds.
I bet there are no recliners or wedges small enough for shrunken little old ladies like grandma but otherwise, thank you for another fine video.
There are companies that build made to measure chairs and furniture upholsters will cut a wedge to size for you.
2:46 so you’re making the bed a recliner. What about a sleep flat recliner. Problem solved, get a pillow top for a twin and no bed soars or pressure to bad veins
I like sleeping in a recliner cuz i dont need to worry about rolling over so i fan sleep on my bsck
Hi Bob & Brad. Appreciate your videos! Fan from New Zealand.
I think I'm bloated, so I've been trying to sleep sitting straight up on my bed with a few pillows, so far I don't really have a plan, just find a comfy position for my head, but would wake up at 2am to neck pain
I tried a leg wedge and it sure didn't work for me!
kah kah U didnt cover about how to lean back , you kept sitting up right.Kah Kah
A wedge is no good for side sleepers.
Fern Brisot - That’s why Brad showed its use while lying on his back. A wedge comes in handy, though, when changing positions. For side sleepers, always put a pillow between your knees as it helps keep the hips aligned (“stacked” on top of each other) which helps with back pain.
@@elaineculbert8594 Yes...2 Year ago, after MRI , I was diagnose with DDD with tingling leg pain on my left side. After physical therapy I felt better and tingling went away. I am a side sleeper...I am going thru the same thing with my right side now. Will have MRI within a week. I can not sleep as I was a side sleeper and I am afraid to lay on my left from fear of re injuring it. When I am up and walking...no tingling, If I lay down on my side, tingling.
I tried on the back but that set my nerves off too, plus I feel as if I will choke because I snore. Maybe a recliner temporary and pray that MRI does not reveal a HD.
good advice as always =m,k wis.
I love your videos hahahaha take careAaaa
I couldn't do it
shoulder pain and sciatica caused me to sleep in a recliner
The problem I has I cannot sleep on my back, I has to turn on my side in the recliner
Didn't help with the issue I think I'm having I feel like my feet are pulling my knees and my tendons too much
Yikes. Whether or not this is effective, do yourself a favor and eliminate your back pain. In almost every case, back pain develops due to sitting too much. This position puts your quads in a constant state of contraction. This, in turn, makes your pelvis tip forward and elongates your hamstrings. This forward tilt causes the pain. You can release the tension in your quads with the following video. Remember that just like a runner or weightlifter needs time and reps to gain endurance and strength, it takes some time to train muscles to release as well. But once you do, your relief will get faster and more permanent. Here's the vid:: ruclips.net/video/MI0SGjzt3R4/видео.html
I slept in my recliner while I had a C collar from a broken neck
But yet every other medical professional highly recommend to sleep in a recliner
It’s been awhile....sound is terrible guys.
Speak so fast for a Brit!! 😳
Not witb a face mask..thats for sure ...pffff😨
Good video, horrible introduction
