I'm a side sleeper using a "standard" foam mattress on a lower-end hospital bed, and regularly have low back pain. The mattress sags in the middle. [The bed has a wire/spring mattress support, and rather than put money into a new bed, I'm thinking about just putting plywood over the wire/spring part.]
I've recently seen "lateral rotation" mattresses which use changing air pressure to turn the patient from side to side at intervals. They appear to be pretty pricey. Anyone have experience with these? Are they a benefit by not requiring a person to turn the patient from time to time during the night? Would they work for side sleepers?
Thanks.
