bed

Pals hospital bed was delivered Wednesday, and I look at it wondering how in the world will he be able to sleep, be comfortable, and most importantly, not fall out. He has to sit in upright position due to tube feedings and severe shoulder pain if laying flat. The guard rails don’t serve any...

I need advice how to get in/out bed. We have an adjustable bed with bed rails. I transfer from mobility scooter, making a 90 degree turn with assistance from husband into bed. We have had bumps and bruises and near miss falls. We need a new solution. I still have some strength in my arms...

Does anyone have experience with or feedback for this bed? Also, I'm comfortable with a natural latex mattress with a soft latex topper and wool mattress pad. Do any of you have experience with using latex on hospital beds?

The DME vendors in my county generally don't submit to Medicare, saying that if they did, they would end up going out of business because Medicare reimb. rates are so low. One does submit, but they can only get me a partial electric. My insurance co. says my neuro should request prior auth and...

Good news. My local independence center has a person who is a hospital bed matchmaker. Yesterday he didn't have any donated beds available but he called today because someone called him with a bed to donate. It's partially electric, supposedly in very good shape, I have to transport but not...

Good evening, everyone, First off, I have been constantly amazed at the grace and promptness with which questions from anxious people here are answered, and in my time lurking over the last couple months these replies and stickied threads have been a huge resource. So thank you! I'm just...

For those of you with Golden lift recliners, can I get my PALS into it with a hoyer? I have been exclusively using a hoyer to transfer him for a while now. I'm pretty sure he could not stand on his own even with support, even just for a pivot transfer. (I'd be scared to death to even try.)...
