I have medicare which has been covering the cost of my circ. air mattress. I've
been getting a reoccuring pressure sore (minor) on my tailbone area and some
pinkness on my right hip when sleeping on my right side. My left side is ok.
I'm off the tailbone best when on my right side and that hip doesn't seem to
like it. Thought a better quality air mattress might help.

Tim, how do you pay for your mattress and what do you need from it?
The state of Ohio won't help replace a low air loss mattress of any type unless
you have two stage four pressure wounds. If money is no problem, hil-rom is the
top end with alternating pressure and low air loss while rotating the patient
according to a timer.It can cost over 9G. If your on a fixed budget, you may
want to check out e-bay.I got a decent buy for $650. Definitely check with any
agencies in your state if you need help financing it. A lot are better than
Ohio. Some even believe in preventative medicine.
good luck,
john

Subject: [QUAD-L] circulating air mattress
What kind of circulating air matress do you use on your bed? I've been using
the low-end one with the cheap vinyl mattress that springs leaks every 3 months
or so, but I feel I need something of more quality and effectivness.
