My girlfriend (C6 SCI) and I need a new mattress for our adjustable bed, but I'm having a tough time finding a good one online. Hopefully you guys can help us out :)

We need a queen sized mattress no thicker than a 6" (so she can transfer into the bed from her chair when I'm not around) but I have a herniated disc and would like a medium-firm mattress that won't aggravate my condition. We'd prefer a name brand, but I'm told Simmons is the only brand that has an adjustable bed mattress and I can't find any information on it. Price is no issue - if you guys can help us out I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

Select Comfort has the beds with dual adjustable firmess and they recline. They're also wheelchair height. You can finance it. Insurance won't pay but it is a tax deduction if you meet the 7.5% rule..

Thanks, but I'm not looking to buy a new frame just yet. We just need a mattress. Any tips?

Hi What do you mean by tax deductable 7.5% rule?
