Hi Poll,

Your air mattress, did you get it from the social, if not where from. Hope you don’t mind me asking as every morning I wake up in terrible pain and was thinking of buying a tempur mattress.

Hope you have a jolly good sleep.

Hi janet, don`t mind you asking at all hun.

Yes i got it via district nurses. My carer (an ex nurse) was concerned about the appearance of my heels and I had so much pain in them. I bought some sheepskin heel protectors, but the only helped a very short while.

Looking on line, the cost of this high risk pressure relief air mattress is about £1,000!

maybe start with an OT, eh?

luv Pollx
