My bed has an 84'' long inner-spring mattress, then I have an Air-Pro Plus Alternating Overlay Mattress on top of that ( http://www.bluechipmedical.com/airpro.htm ), and that is covered with a Spenco Comfort Touch Traditional Mattress Pad ( http://www.medicalproductsdirect.com/spencomtouct.html ). I just put the Air-Pro Plus Alternating Overlay Mattress on this year after my surgery, and it really makes a difference.

"John S." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Just out of curiosity, What kind of mattresses do those of you using hospital beds use. I have used egg crate toppers on regular staw filled vinyl mattresses and I had a low air loss mattress I was able to keep workingfor 9 years. Now I have an alternating pressure mattess from ebay that a sister bought. Its reasonably comfortable but no help with pressure areas. If I have a bad spot getting red I have to get egg crate under it or this alternating system will rip the skin apart. With medicare/medicaid no mattrss suppliers want to deal with me because in Ohio they often refuse payment on low air loss mattresses. I sure havent got 5 thousand dollars or even 21 thousand for e bay. john --------------------------------- Tonight's top picks. What will you watch tonight? Preview the hottest shows on Yahoo!
