hey all. i am finally gettin out on my hospital bed, with the special mattress and all that.

I am lookin at a queen size. and i would like to know what kind of mattress you use and works well.

I know there are tons of kinds, memory foam, temper, all that. i know some have furmer size and are softer in the middle which might be better for transfering and all that.

thanks

I use an Ergoflex memory foam mattress and cannot fault it!
Everything will be alright in the end, if it's not alright then it's not the end!

My wound doctor recommended one of these but I don't know which one yet.
