I'd love to be 250. Just don't know how to get there without having a huge gut.

If by huge gut you mean strong man gut then you need to get it. If you mean slug gut then you wont get it if you eat decent and train hard

Could you post some links to photos to illustrate that?

The picture above is of Serge Redding. He strict pressed 502lbs/228kg at the Olympics. Insanely strong guy.

I'm thinking the sleep problem is actually my mattress. It's really firm and this causes discomfort with my shoulders if I lie on my side, and I get pinched nerves which make my arm go numb, etc.

As I gined weight I found this became more of a problem. When I was 175 I could sleep on my side on the floor and feel good, at 210 this became uncomfortable. The increased weight increases the pressure on all the bony points, and the increased muscle means less space for nerves and blood vessels if you lie on your arm.
