Another post regarding the comfort of the pullout couches and chairs mentioned a mattress topper that made the mattress much more comfortable. I have had a hard time sleeping in a bed until we just got our new latex foam mattress on an adjustable frame (think Craftmatic-type bed). When we go on vacation, I have to heavily drug myself with Benadryl and Motrin to get a marginal amount of sleep each night. I was wondering if anyone knows if they have mattress toppers for the regular beds as well? It might make all the difference I need to sleep at WDW! I've thought of taking my own but I don't need it for any other reason and it would be an extra expense to buy and drag along.

Sorry, I can't answer about mattress toppers at Disney World.
But do want to point out my favorite trick from a trip to China (where all the beds were very, very firm)--I would always take the comforter (usually a down one) and fold it onto itself several time to make a comfortable pillow top for the mattress just big even for me.

The Swan and Dolphin have amazing beds.
Someone will come along and help us with the name.

If you are driving - you can bring along a latex mattress topper - they sell those at any big box retailer - Target, WalMart - and they help mimic Temprapedic mattresses. I'm actually considering one for my trip in June. Mine will get used again on our pull out sofa when my inlaws visit.
But I will also be traveling with a cpap machine.

That's the dilemma - we're flying so taking my own means extra expenses all around from the purchase itself to the cost of buying and taking an extra suitcase, all for something that I don't even know will work for me. Oh well, I'll just buy lots of Benadryl!

You might try Melatonin also.

I've thought about it but I have to do more research before I try it. I work night shift and although it's classified as a sleep disorder, my sleep pattern is to generally stay up until 3 or 4am on my off days. I can easily sleep throughout the day. I don't want to take anything that will mess up my own natural sleep rhythm since it works so well for my work schedule.
