I have a couple questions regarding a twin xl Flo Bed. First a few stats to help answer my questions. I’m 68, about 5’ tall and weigh 118#.
I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my connective tissue-especially tendons. My right hip and shoulder get down right cranky at night! I sleep on my left side with a small pad between my knees for most of the night, but try and switch to my right side at least once. I’m unable to sleep supine or prone. I’m considering an adjustable bed.
Since I’m petite, how much pressure relief can be obtained with targeted zones?
Would an adjustable bed alter the pressure relief areas considering my height?
Is there an adjustable bed you have found to bed a good match for your beds?
@Tmp5709, I am curious to follow this thread and await a response from @FloBeds to your question! I have been perusing this site, which is an incredible resource but perhaps a bit dangerous for those of us who easily fall into research rabbit holes, as I also search for a new mattress for myself and my partner.
My needs are similar to yours, although I am a bit younger and a bit smaller, 52 yo, barely 5’1", under 110 lb, with common joint pain due to hypermobility. Dewey with @FloBeds has been helpful by phone with me, as has Roger with @TheCleanBedroom in NY, as well as Greg with Synergy Health in NC. I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the options and can’t decide which direction to go (all latex/hybrid, plant based memory foam, adjustable base–is it worth it?), especially since I don’t have the ability to experience latex mattresses in my city. It makes it tough to purchase something without a generous and flexible return policy. Add a partner in the mix and you’ve got a second set of slightly different needs and preferences to satisfy.
