[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 486436, member: 84"] Janet........... If you can swing the twin beds...........How about a hospital type bed for you? With your disabilities I betcha won't have an issue with at least one doctor saying it's necessary. And honestly, it probably is. I know the mattresses aren't the most comfortable things in the world but you can pick up the thick foam pads (I just had a brain fart and can't think of what they're called, that space age stuff) and put them on to help them in the comfort dept. Then you could sit up in just about any position you want and have support. If a doctor says it's necessary, medicare/medicaid will foot the bill for rental. Not sure about buying it because my grandma just rented hers and so did my aunt. One of the reasons I still have husband's great aunts mattress and box springs is I loath dealing with mattress salesmen. I'm also not to fond of how the new ones are made either. Far too big and puffy for me. I don't want smothered, I want to go to sleep. I'm short too and don't want to feel like a 3 yr old climbing into a "big girl bed". ugh And actually although it's more than 50 yrs old what I have is fine, for me. When his great aunt bought something it was always top of the line.......and this was way back when quality meant something still. [/QUOTE]
