Re: [BlindHandyMan] New Bed?
Yeah we ditched the water bed too. It was a zero wave but I noticed it was sinking through the floor. Ut-oh! datza no good! It was a water bed that sat on a reinforced standard bed frame. I've still got the frame but the water bed got pitched at least 10 years ago.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] New Bed?
Yes, they have come down over the years but their really comfortable and you don't have to buy special sheets either. They give really great back support and like I said, the good part is you both can change the settings to your own liking and sense it's a matter of comfort, you don't have to see the read out for a number. If you like it where it's at, leave it there. If you decide the things to hard, let some of the air out etc. Alan Please click on: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~alanandsuzanne/ There, you'll find files of my arrangements and performances played on the Yamaha Tyros keyboard.

The scale is 0 to 100 so the difference between our 2 comfort settings is about 10 percent. That's a huge difference but you can change your settings at any time depending on how your back feels at any given moment. There are 2 remotes. One for each side of the bed. These beds are also in stores as well and go by several names. Comfort select, Air Select, Adjustable air comfort and others. These kinds of beds are everything the water bed never was. No hundreds of pounds of water to worry about or leaks etc. These beds have a blatter inside the mattress that is filled with air forced in by a small compressor. There are no lumpy spots. My concern was with an air blatter that there might be a hill or a valley depending on how much air was used. This was not the case however. At the time we saw these beds they sold for 3,000 bucks for a queen size but we're talking for a motor home and around 2002. Sense then, quite a few companies make them for folks who could use better back support and the costs have come down. If you try one of these beds out, I can tell you, your going to want one at any price. That's what we're going to get for our next bed. But, you be the judge.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] New Bed?
I absolutely agree that my Tempur-Pedic is the best purchase I ever made too. I also like the fact that they are mold and mildew safe. I didn't have to buy special sheets. We looked at the number beds, but they didn't guarantee no mold or mildew. The nice thing about this one is that it conforms to your body and there's no need to adjust it. Just get into bed and within about 15 seconds it molds to you. It also doesn't wiggle when the other person gets in or out of bed, thus not waking others. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I do have an old back injury and sleep is marvelous since the purchase.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] New Bed?
We stayed in a hotel that had these kind of beds, Sleep Number. It was okay, but I like what we have now better, which is a standard mattress.
