Any recommendations for firm mattress that works with hospital bed? Hate to spend on ordering one without being able to test it.
Has anyone purchased a retail adjustable bed (e.g. Sleep Number) instead of a hospital bed? Your experience? Recommendations?
Just got my spouse's hospital bed delivered as covered by insurance. Mattress is insubstantial to say the least (6 in. innerspring, with some of the springs poking out the back!), he's a big guy and he sank down immediately, couldn't properly sit up even with head raised. Quick exit from bed with my assistance. So he slept in his motorized chair and I tried the hospital bed -- dreadful, squishy, tossed and turned, back ache when I woke up.
I'm thinking of delaying purchase of handicap van, as he can still transfer, and instead spending $$$ on a split-king adjustable bed frame and mattresses.
Advice? Thanks much.
