I have a "knock off". It's comfortable, but my aide has a hard time moving me on it- I sink in just enough for it to have a "velcro effect". I had no sores until this year. Now I'm healing a sore on my knee and one on my shin. I ended up cutting a square out of the end of the bed and placed an old ROHO in the hole. So far, so good! (Oh, btw, I sleep on my stomach)
I am looking for a bed that's easier to move on if anyone has any suggestions.

It is the classic style mattress, I used a headboard from my previous bed and mounted a nice grabbar on the headboard to grab if I need extra help moving. The head and foot of the bed fully adjust to where you want them to.. As far as pressure relief I have had no pressure sores on my butt or knees. I watch tv til I get tired then I roll over to my stomach. The bed has enough pressure relief that 8 hours of my knees dug into the mattress only lets a small amount of redness appear on my knees. Its a little harder to move around on the matress than a reg one but Im independent with rollovers and transfers into chair or bowell chair. I will buy another one when this one goes out..........9 yrs into the life of the matress I cant see any wear to this point. I keep a tempurpediccover on the matress as well as a white plastic cover from walmart that I replace each month. Price with everything and pillows I believe was at 3500.00 at the time. ron c7
