Why a full Wheel?? that is one thing I was wondering about---Right now I sleep in bed beside my wife on a regular queen bed, she turns me once or twice a night, but my circulation is slowly getting worse and turning me is hard on her. I'm not sure if I may need to go in a hospital bed eventually--would be nice to be able to have a bed that could let me set-up in bed (adjustable) We are wondering if I get a alternating air mattress for just my half of the bed , if that would work?? thanks, Dan H.

In Bed Again Make sure its a full bed cushion and not a 1/2 bed air cushion. Best Wishes In a message dated 7/12/2010 3:11:29 P.M.

My circulation is getting worse so my DME is looking into getting me an alternating air mattress, my insurance makes me pay 20% out of pocket so I guess this will be added to the $2,700 dollars i'm paying payments on for my out of pocket money on my new wheelchair that I had to get a few months ago. Hope ya get completely healed !
