It's just the type most vendors have. I just call them up and they deliver it. Medicare covers ummm $200+ a month as a rental. We pay $4 every month. That way, as a rental, if it gets a leak (like mine just did after 11 months) they bring you a new one right away.
Gets tricky though ... when a year is up (and you're on MediCARE for receiving it) they give the patient either a purchase option or keep renting. We got the letter 'bout a month ago. Safer to rent because if we own it and it goes kaput then we have to buy another 100%.
My body isn't toooooooooooo picky on mattresses though. I used a plain waffle mattress
for 9 years too. Just an air mattress that comes with its own plastic pump and is an overlay. I sleep 9-10 hours on my side without moving and no problems.
I could still use a waffle but something about having to be more responsible for the if gotten through a vendor. In the past I bought my own. 2 for $140. For a backup. They rarely last more than a yr though and having sloppy aides leaving my blow dryer on it for a few seconds (melting it) or it getting a pin puncture anytime is a risk.
We're deciding now what to do abt my rental time being up.

Lori,
What type of badgers are you using? If you don't mind my asking, how much does a cost?
