Thanks everyone! I think we will definitely steer clear of the memory foam. I get hot enough just sleeping on a regular mattress. (I always kick the covers off at night.)

Now to see if we can find a good deal on an adjustable bed.

My parents have a sleep number with mechanical adjustable. They can raise their head or feet or both. We plan on getting a sleep number when it is time to replace ours. We have had ours for 10 years and it is still fine.

An adjustable sleep number is about $3000 for a queen but my parents say it is 100% worth it. I guess the warranty is also great.

I just read horrible reviews on the Sleep Number Earl. Have your parents check under the bed for mold. One couple said when they moved and took the bed apart it was covered in mold. Apparently the company has been in the news for recalls, motor issues and about the mold.

We just bought a bed from another site, a self adjusting technology (SAT) bed for both Jim and I. This bed recycles the air from the outside in and no motor is required like the Sleep Number beds. As you turn or move the bed adjusts to your body weight. We also bought the adjustable frame that has the massage features Sleep Number has. The main reason I bought this bed is the zero gravity it has to prevent bed sores and such.

Here is the web site if anyone is interested. The NMSS endorses the bed as does the BBB and medical field. It is regulated by the medical government whereas the Sleep Number isn't. It also cost cheaper than a Sleep Number. The king size split Jim and I were looking at with Sleep Number was going to be over $7000. This one was $5700 with delivery, no taxes, and a 12 month no payments/no interest financing plan. SAT Bed They also have a 90 day try it out policy. I'll let you know how it sleeps when we get it in three weeks.

Sandy - that sounds great! I checked out their site and it does say something about insurance reimbursement. I wonder if, since it is endorsed by the government, would Medicare help pay for it? I see also that there is a U.S. Veteran's reimbursement as well. Did you happen to ask them about this when you talked with them?

Yes I did Trish. lol They said to contact the NMSS, insurance and Medicare to see if they will help cover the cost. For us I am sure only Jim's half would be covered. The guy told us since we are buying two twins we could get an invoice from them for just one to turn into Medicare or the VA. I am definately calling tomorrow and asking all over. lol It's probably as simple as getting a doctors order stating you need it to qualify you know?

Maybe the dr could write that a twin bed is not sufficient for one with MS and spasticity as we do need more room to flop around in. I know that sounds funny but I know that many nights I am like a fish out of water and if I were in a twin bed I certainly would end up on the floor.

Either way, I hope you get the maximum amount of reimbursement. Let us know how the bed works out for you guys.

I will Trish. I had to laugh reading your description but you are so right on about the flopping. Sometimes Jim's legs get going and the whole bed is shaking for all the wrong reasons! haha

I have a temperpedic imitation from Cotsco. It is 12 inches thick. I got it after I broke a few bones and hurt my back badly from an accident and I love it! It was only $500.00 2 years ago.

I don't feel hot in my bed. I just run a fan on hot days in the summer. But that is just me. I tend to feel cold more than most people. I dislike being cold!

I like the idea of the wedge for draining sinus issues with allergies. I never heard of that before but it is worth a try!! I will have to see if my allergist will write me a prescription for that!!

Good luck with whatever you decide. I do like the idea of a mattress that raises up and down like the hospitals have.
