Question
My mother uses a semi-manual hospital bed in her home supplied by Medicare. She spends a lot of time in bed, and she is always commenting about the lack of support with the mattress that came with the bed. Can you recommend a firm mattress with support for her? Thank you in advance.

Answer

Dear Alice,

We have three types of mattresses.

1) Foam Matress

2)  Innerspring Mattress

3) Pressure Reduction Mattress

I would recommend the pressure reduction mattress #TM25

• This Pressure Reduction Mattress features a premium quality, high density foam core that gives this mattress the strength and durability to handle patients up to 400 lbs.
• This core is further augumented by a bonded convoulted foam layer, allowing the patient even greater comfort and pressure reduction.
• Covered with our non-shear, sluid resistant "breathable" nylon and high quality manufacturing, this mattress is the smart choice whether you need a regular, replacement or pressure reduction mattress.
• The dimension for this mattress is 36" x 80" x 7".
• 6 month manufacturer defect warranty

Please visit our website www.msecompany.net

Thank you for your time!

Question
Dear Sir or Madam,Since I will move to New York City on August 24th, 2006, and I'm sitting in a wheelchair, I will need an adjustable bed at the end of August. I want to buy such a bed at August 25th or so.I will need a bed that is height-adjustable altogether and has adjustable parts for head and feet. The width should be approximately 1,20 meters (47 inches). The adjustability should be controlled by means of a remote control.Do you have a bed that would fit these requirements? And can you tell me how much it would cost? And, furthermore, how fast can it be delivered to NYC once bought? (I'd like to have it at the end of August; if possible, I'd like to buy it when I'm in NYC from August 24th on; but if the delivery wouldn't be possible by end of august in that case, I'd consider buying via internet)I'm not sure if I want to buy a mattress with air-filled cells, alternate pressure system, or whatever, too. Could you tell me how much that would cost (also with a width of 1,20 meters resp. 47 inches) approximately?Thanks in advance for your answers on my questions.Best regards,Bernhard Leidner
