    Adjustable bed vs hospital bed

    I have continued "putting off" purchasing a hospital bed because I just don't want to ruin the cozy feel of my bedroom. It's my favorite reading place and my last "holdout". I know that sounds ridiculous. Losing walking, driving, and working and most of my hobbies was easier than "giving up" my...

    Trapeze on bed

    Has anyone used a "trapeze" on their hospital bed, prior to needing a Hoyer lift? Any opinions regarding the type that attach to the bed frame vs the type on legs that slide under? Just looking online, the reviews do not look too good for either type. I still have good upper body strength. I...

    Bed

    We are not quite ready for a hospital bed, but need something lower than our current king bed, which is too high to get into. Does anyone have experience with a sleep number bed? Or alternatives that allow us to sleep together but better accommodate transfers?

    ACX Premium Hospital Bed Set

    Does anyone have experience with or feedback for this bed? Also, I'm comfortable with a natural latex mattress with a soft latex topper and wool mattress pad. Do any of you have experience with using latex on hospital beds?

    How to get fully electric, reverse Trelendenberg bed?

    The DME vendors in my county generally don't submit to Medicare, saying that if they did, they would end up going out of business because Medicare reimb. rates are so low. One does submit, but they can only get me a partial electric. My insurance co. says my neuro should request prior auth and...
