Ernie Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi,I just got my new medical bed at lunch time. I can't wait to try it. I think the mattress is too firm so I'll see after a couple of days. They are suppose to exchange the mattress if it is too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan617 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 That's so great Ernie. I hope it works out and is not too hard, so you don't have to mess with that! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hey Ernie, Mine washhard too but persevere- it softens and gets really comfy. I found it really helpful just the other day when I had a hemiplegic migraine and couldn't move properly. It was also good for raising my bp as it had dipped, so I tilted myself to v45 degrees. The thing I always worry about is whether the bed will get STUCK in these weird positions! hasn't done so far though, and that's been 2 beds over 3 years!

Ernie Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi,My mattress is way too firm it's like a piece of plywood. I'll call the store on Monday to get a different one. All my muscles are sore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary P Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi,My mattress is way too firm it's like a piece of plywood. I'll call the store on Monday to get a different one. All my muscles are sore!Hi Ernie,If the new mattress is still too firm, perhaps a nice 'poofy' all-around cover will help. It has helped me. It has a ort of a quilted pattern., but very fluffy-like. Is the head of your bed raised? I once had bricks put under the top posts of my bed but I found it so uncomfortable that after a year I had them taken away. The bed was so much more comfortable with them gone and I didn't feel like I was bent in half. That situation with the bricks was so uncomfortable and I didn't find any difference in my health. Does your new bed rise gradually? I think you can change as often as necessary until you get one that suits you.Sleep tight.Mary P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi,Thanks everyone for the well wishes.Mary,I followed your suggestion and found 2x1"x24" mattress that I put one on top of the other in the middle of my bed and I was able to sleep without pain last night.I will call the store tomorrow to ask for an exchange. I think I will ask for the softess.My bed does all the positions: head up, feet up, head up and feet up, head up and feet down, head down and feet up. I keep it flat normally but when I go to bed with Amatine still working I lift the head until the Amatine wears off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
