Does anybody use a mattress overlay, I'm doing an article on mattress overlays. In my early days as a T10 para, Medical routinely paid for a a foam egg crate overlay to help prevent pressure ulcers. Over time I stopped using them, but these days my skin is getting more sensitive--case in point, I sleep with a pillow under my calves to keep my feet elevated so there is no pressure on my heels.
Do you use a mattress overlay? If so, what kind?--foam egg crate? Air pump driven overlay? Variable Alternating air pump driving overlay? Gel overlay? Roho overlay? If you use one of these what do you like, or dislike about it? And, is it OK if I contact you for more information? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Bob Vogel
