Why not have removeable foam arm hole thing in the bed?
Then you can stick your arm into in and not disturb your partner. I've fully explained my plan to my girlfriend, but she just thought I was overthinking it... but of course her arm wasn't the one falling asleep and gettng all tingley...

that... now THAT's the idea!! *begins to think*

You could have a pluggable hole in the bed where the arm goes down and bends and essentially hugs the other person UNDER their section of mattress. Brilliant!!

*begins to draw up blueprints*

Well, I think I should get some credit on this idea... we could be fantastically wealthy, and selflessly save marriages, relationships, and arms

Of course! We should be partners. We'll make MILLIONS! Your country (whichever you're from) will be proud of you.

Yes, Indeed, America will be proud of me...
Ticker tape parades, streets will be names after me...
oh, and you... you who believed in me
So, do you have those blueprints ready yet?

Joe... Joe.. Ya' gotta' give me a minute, here. These things are tricky. For example, we need to place the armhole between the bedsprings and we need to cover the armhole with something firm so that the mattress doesn't eventually sag in and crush the arm...

Plus, we need some kind of ventalation or the arm will get really sweaty. PLUS we need to figure out size differences.

*goes back to drawing*

Krissy...
Ok.. what if the bed was more futon-y than bed springy...
and there was a airy-foam buffer layer between the arm hole and the main mattress? I suppose we'll have different sizes, but, maybe we should just have them run large...

Unless we can figure out a way to make beds out of some squishy gel material that you could shape before settling to sleep...

I gotta go, They are getting the ticker tape ready down on broadway..
Oh, and the president called... How does "Krissy-Lee Memorial Rest Stop" sound?
spaceboy (I can't beleive I slipped and shared my real name *wink*)

Trouble is, you need to move about while you sleep. If you set yourself into a hole in your bed so you can't move, you'll not be able to move at all when you awake, as all your joints will have seized up. If your seuggestions could be mounted on a big vibrating platform, we could be on to a winner...

*sniffle* A rest stop named after lil' ol' ME??? *gets all verclempt*

And yes, I have no idea how to actually spell that.

I don't know, MrBlack, most of the time the only reason I want to move is because of that damned ARM. Otherwise I could spoon all night. I think we could still make a popular item of this bed. Besides, if you don't want to spoon, we'll have the piece of bed that drops down to make the hole easy to pull up. Maybe even automatic! We could have a few at various positions and hights and distances from the side to make it easier.

Oh wow this is a great idea....*continues drawing furiously*

What if there were enough room in the arm hole, perhaps you could move it around.. like an arm-cubby... you could even keep snacks and stuff down there... ooh, it would be the perfect place to store ummm... protection. hmmm...

How are those plan coming Krissy? I've already talked with the VC folks and they have a couple of mil waiting to invest in us...
Oh, and there's also talk about putting you on a postage stamp...
spaceboy

If they can make gel bras that shape themselves to you as you move a gel bed would do the same, allowing you to lie on your arm without it going dead. I have this problem a lot!

wait... ginger... was your problem with your arm or with the bra?
just confused
spaceboy

*squints her eyes*

I don't know why, but I've always been terribly suspicious of gel.

There's no need for anti-gelism, Krissy....
Gel has contributed to our society in numerous ways...
such as... ummm... and... oh, that other thing...
How about Jell-o... you're not anti-Jello are you?
spaceboy zoom (pro-jell-o)

With my arm - they don't make gel bras in my size!

Hmmmm... I think I'll leave the whole gel-bra issue alone...
we're getting into uncharted waters now... *big grin*
...zoom

*coughs* *splutters* *drowns a bit*

Nope. I am not, in fact, a Jell-o supporter. It's somthing I always think I SHOULD like, and then I put the stuff in my mouth and can just taste the horse and cattle hooves.

UHGHGHGHGttthhhpppack! Ew.

*spits all over the blueprint and has to start over*

oh, jeez...
you had to go and ruin jell-o for me?
Sigh... I guess I still have hot-dogs and headcheese... you can't ruin those for me... (big grin)
oh but wait, we're off topic...
I'm just going to start dating women with only one arm... that would solve the whole spooning thing once and for all...

Just make sure it's the right arm or you'll have all sorts of messy correction work to do later.

but what if the right arm is the left arm?
hmmmm
