Advice & Tips
The hospital bed is from an ALS loan closet, and has been helpful for transferring to and from my power wheelchair. However, the mattress is not very comfortable, and I am looking to replace it with one that may help me roll over.

Advice & Tips
This bed has drasticly changed my sleep problems, I was always a side sleeper but haven't been able to sleep on my side since sometime in 2003, Just a few minutes on my side and my hip and shoulder pain would be unbearable. I am now able to sleep on my side with little or no pain. Also the tingling sensations in my hands has all but gone away at night. I am also able to function at a reasonable level in the morning, without the stiffness anad screaming back pain,
my full size mattress was about $1300.00 and worth every penny!

Advice & Tips
sleeping much better, no pressure points, waking and being able to funcyion for an hour or so before the pain levels increase.
pricey but most insurance companys will pay at least some of the cost. Best investment made ever.
