Judy, he's had every air mattress out there. The problem is the friction, dry skin, sliding in the bed, sweating, etc. It's healing from what I can tell, I've been changing the dressing twice a day. I have been putting a good cream the doctor prescribed on it too that helps protect the skin. He has a sheep skin cover and we think it may have made him hot and that caused it. I took that off and it seems to be healing faster now. He's using a ROHO air mattress that seems to be one of the better ones out there. He also has one on his chair and he loves it.

We tried the pillow thing too and it's good under the thigh area Cindy. He couldn't do the back though because it hurt. Stay tuned! Ahhhh, the life of spinal cord issues. Ugh.
