every time I get a massage they ask me to start by laying with my face down in that hole and I think: why isn’t there a bed like this? it’s SO comfortable and gravity helps relax you so much you start to drool. is there a bed made with one of those face-holes so you can sleep face down without having to turn your head to the side or risk suffocation? 😕 ---

This is kind of similar, although you probably shouldn’t stick your face into the slats: > **[Cuddling in Bed Just Got Easier](https://mix941kmxj.com/cuddling-in-bed-just-got-easier/)** > > Cuddling with your sweetheart in bed,  it's nice right?  Well, kinda, since your arm is squished beneath you or his arm is falling asleep behind your neck.  I am sure it could be done, if it hasn’t already. ---

i found [http://http://www.ritetime.com/RiteTimeFaceDownBedSupport.html](http://http://www.ritetime.com/RiteTimeFaceDownBedSupport.html), but I was hoping for an actual bed rather than something you add to a standard bed. ---

Or a bed that allows you lie comfortably with a loved one [like this](http://xkcd.com/335/). ---

> [@MannyL](#): > > I wonder if the people behind [this](http://www.huggingmattress.com/index.php)can help you. hmmm, maybe. took me more than a minute or two to figure out it’s a mattress with holes in it. it’s nice somebody is making this - wouldn’t mind trying it out. ---

My wife wants a bed like this quite badly. We haven’t been able to find anything commercially, and I’m considering making something from scratch. ---

seems like this kind of thing should be easier to find - I’ll bet a lot of people would want to sleep face down and still breath. or hug someone in bed. ---

I once told my chiropractor that I wanted to keep his bed so I could sleep on it. He offered to sell it to me. Nice place for my face, nice places for my arms to rest on. Power assist to stand up if I need it. I didn’t buy it. I couldn’t afford it. But if I ever have the money and a house again, I might consider it. ---

When I had physical therapy for frozen shoulder, the therapy place had a “positioning device” like [this](http://www.bodysupport.com/bodyCushion/bodyCushiontm.html). It was so blissfully comfortable that I would lie face down on it after my therapy for as long as I could get away with it. Also, that side position with the shoulder fitting down into a notch was also wonderful because it relieved pressure on the shoulder and made it so I could lie comfortably on my side. I ought to get one of these.
