What bed/mattress do you use to prevent skin breakdowns? I'm looking for info and recommendations - comfort, durability, reliability...
I currently use a Drive Medical Lateral Rotation Mattress with Low Air Loss. I don't use the turning feature because it never returned me to the correct position. I got this bed in 2015 and I'm now having a lot of problems wit it. I can no longer get comfortable, it bulges and makes hard lumps under my injury site, bones and muscles. I can't sleep through the night anymore and I'm getting headaches frequently. I hurt all the time. On the plus side, it continues to prevent pressure sores. I've tried to get insurance (MLTC Medicare/Medicaid) to cover a new mattress but have been denied. After nearly 53 years, I have two chronic sores so I spend most of my time in bed. This is killing me both physically and mentally! Any suggestions will be appreciated.Nan
