Cosleeping

Anyone else co-sleep? Dh is working some crazy hours and so I want to put the `babies on the outside of the bed.. like I will sleep in the middle so dh Can sleep on the edge and sleep without babies tickling his nose. My question is does anyone know of a fairly long bed rail or co-sleeping pillow under $100? I found this but at $229, its way too expensive!

Erica, I don't cosleep, but I am wondering if you could just buy 2 of the normal bedrails and tie them together? Or, maybe you could make one of those pillow-things that is in your link?

 

That pillow is too cool but you are right, way too expensive. Right now I just put a body pillow and two king size pillows on the side but I know that is not the safest option. Let us know if find something cheaper.
Thanks,
Megan

 

Erica, I have an idea...what about buying 2 body pillows, and sewing them together, and then getting a sheet and sewing a pocket in it so you can slide the pillows in? That way you could still take the pillows out and wash the sheet. I think I have even seen body pillows in that roll shape.

 

I found this:

When it comes in and we try it out, I will post the results then. I wish I could sew to make my own bolster, it seems like a fairly easy thing to do.

 

Oh good! I am glad you found a solution...hopefully! Let us know how it works!

 

When my guys sleep with me, I put the rails on each side of the bed. You can buy them at walmart, they are the toddler bed rails. They work VERY well.

Please do. I would love to get back into my bed. Wesley and I are on bed rolls on the living room floor right now. My back is KILLING me. I've been looking for something like this very thing!

 

Glad you found something!! We cosleep in this house!! Love it!! Especially, the last couple of nights the twins took turns having a fever!!

 

I never post here but wanted to add this info for you:

snugtuckpillow.com

i just ordered one, hopefully it does the trick! It ran $100 for my king-sized mattress.

 

Since this was bumped, the bed rail is AWESOME.. it has hooks AND straps so its securely attached and even I have leaned on it and it has not moved. We actually got two of them now!
