My bed is a Turn Q. The hospital gave it to me but never took it back. I don't think you would want to pay for one.
Before that I had a regular mattress on a cheep hospital bed fame. On that I laid on a mattress which although about 1' thick would redistribute the pressure points. I could lie on it for weeks without a spot showing up. For about $100. this air mattress is a great find. I forgot its name but do a Google on it with Florida, mattress pressure . .

A sleeping/resting bed can be like a pair of shoes. Fit is more important than fad. Some can use a standard bed with special mattress modifications and padding. Others require a hospital like bed with raising back and foot rest. Some require a turning or shifting type of bed that reduces pressure. Then there are the more complicated beds that offer more features and comfort. More important is learning what you need. Know what your body requires for survival. A complicated bed may require a doctor's script and an occupational therapist evaluation. The last element is affordability and what you can afford to meet those needs.

I guess that is my next step, try to find the right bed. I just rejoined the list so I hope that this is not a question that everybody just answered. _____ Need a new ride?
