My pain is better

[Willf3]

I recently got an amazing bed that has totally changed my life.  It’s called the Freedom bed. Throughout my whole life I have struggled with getting a good night’s sleep.  My caregivers used to have to get up and reposition me through the night.  Now, I have the Freedom bed and it does it for me.  Pretty awesome!  It also helps with my severe back pain, since now I am moved as often as I program it to move me. I am a lot more able to deal with allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues, too, since moving while I sleep helps all of these things.  I will be happy to share more about the bed if you’re interested or dealing with any of the same conditions.

Interesting idea.  Does it make you feel claustrophobic though?

It certainly sounds interesting enough, but I am always a little concerned about brand-new posters who make recommendations right away. Call me cynical, but I just get the whole alarm going off. I would also get the idea that I would be a little claustrophobic in those situations…

hmmm, some times is rather hard for some people to determine if a post is a 'recommendation' or merely sharing some sort of info re: some product that the poster uses

even more so can be rather hard to know if a poster actually uses the posted product or is merely
advertising' it ....

sigh, what a dilemma for some of us

I have a combination bed - the bed is a flex-bed riser premium, with a power mattress that uses air pressure to create wedges on either side, allowing me to turn a lot easier.

Looks interesting, but also uncomfortable.  But I am not ready for something like that as I can still mostly move myself without too much pain or hassle, but I know many cannot so something like this makes sense.  A few years ago I got a Temper-Pedic (get the real one and not a copy) that molds around me and offers the support I need.  I also got a buckwheat pillow that I use for additional support.  What also helped was having a bed to myself as hubby tosses and turns, and even the Temper-Pedic could not mask all that jostling. There are so many things out there to try, but like some wonder about a recommendation from someone I do not know.
