However, the key to dealing with pressure sores is to move often - don't rest on the same areas for long. And if you do get a callous or scaly area, keep it clean and apply antibiotic or cortisone cream.

Dear Peggy,
could you, please, share with us your experience with sleeping in the Pride lift chair. Is it comfortable. Do you sleep longer than before. Is it sturdy enough to withstand body moves while sleep.
I have reached that point in time where I am ready to give up sleep in a bed because of difficulties in getting out of it.
Thank you
