Hi Pete,
After much deliberation, and because of his particular needs, dad age 102 went with the sleep number bed, for better or for worse.
(It’s for better so long as I don’t hear any whining about it).
They (he sleeps with mom age 97 with dementia) had a mattress pad that was very old, heated, and had hard coils in it.
What are your thoughts for an elderly couple?…should we go back to heated?
We want one that is also waterproof, as a precaution since mom could become incontinent at some point. So far mostly so good, on that.
Thanks, Robin
Hi Robin,
Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.
When comfortable and without complaints, the last thing you want to do is expose elderly
people to any kind of dramatic change.
At their ages, their bodies are not flexible.
If they were enjoying the warmth from the heated pad, it makes sense to stick with it.
However, I suggest questioning them about the heat from the pad.
A lot of elderly people will suffer in silence and not complain....not wishing to increase your burden in taking care of them.
If it turns out, they didn’t like the heat, then you can get them the waterproof mattress protector that we use at home....which does not sleep hot....as many on the market do.
