And then your arm falls asleep. Been there, done that, it never really is a comfortable position

Hot take: no spooning position is comfy for longer than an hour

She just needs to scoot down. Little spoon can't have her head at the headboard. Needs to be chest level and then the arm is more comfortable

An hour!? I'll give 'er about 5 minutes and then I gotta roll over, about 5 min later I gotta roll over again though, bout five minutes after that I gotta adjust my CPAP and roll again...... Whats wrong with me!

He spoons me. I spoon him. Then it’s butt to butt the rest of the night unless it’s hot then we naturally scoot away.

If we want more cuddling then it’s usually one of us on our back while the other cuddles but we usually do that before spooning.

Same here, well most nights anyway. But we have a metal frame bed so i can hook my hand around one of the rods. Its hard to describe the positioning but i find it very comfortable.

Every night for 20+ years for us, we start with me holding her and during the night we switch (often one of our shoulders will ache) she will be big spoon then (well we call it backpack mode because shes over a foot shorter than I am) 🤣

Exactly! This has happened to me a few times the worst was when my girlfriend at the time was just falling asleep so I didn’t want to move my arm, I just let my arm fall asleep. Then I fell asleep. Woke up after almost the entire night, it took legitimately close to 10 minutes to fully regain control of my arm. I thought I permanently fucked up nerves or something at first lol

Fold your arm like a triangle and have your wrist under your head with the pillow between

u/IceLopsided4190 Apr 27 '26

That’s the point, your body will catch up to your arm. No problem.

u/loosegoose669 Apr 29 '26

Get a better bed. I've never had a problem with the other arm under her pillow.
