  We're not that far removed from a time when people made their own mattresses 
by sewing a cloth sack and stuffing it with something.  Might be easier on the 
billfold. 

  A gathered end hammock is $30.  Just need a couple steel rings on the wall to 
hang it on.  Adjust your back by adjusting your angle in the hammock.  Lay 
longitudinally to be a banana, or lay diagonal to be flat.

  I have no answer to your actual question though as I've never had an 
adjustable bed.  This is the INTERNET man.  We don't do information here; we do 
trolling, porn, and cat videos.

herrington rods about 20 years ago.  So, I gotta do what I can to help her feel 
comfortable.

 

Just seems like beds and mattresses are always a bit of a scam.  I feel 
ripped off every time I have ever gone into a mattress store.  Similar to a car 
lot.

 

I understand the motorized mechanism is separate from the mattress and I 
think you may be able to fit most mattresses to the automation layer.  

 

Anyone one one of these things that can comment?

This is probably going to hurt my billfold

Re: [AFMUG] OT adjustable beds

2019-11-19 Thread Ken Hohhof
So you're not talking about adjustable firmness like Sleep Number, but raise
or lower head, knees, feet, etc. like a hospital bed?

 

Wow, I'd be scared to commit to one without actually being able to try one
out.  Not just 10 minutes in the store, actually sleep on it for a week.
Like paint, you can't tell until you paint a wall and then I usually go that
doesn't look like I expected from the little sample.

 

They sell all sorts of special pillows for various parts of the body, you've
tried that approach?  It almost sounds more customizable than a hinged bed.
My experience trying to adjust hospital beds for patients is nothing seems
to work.

These days you stuff it with 100 dollar bills.  More crinkly than feathers,
but mad gangsta.
