Hi, Ned. David really likes our mattress; he also loved sleeping on the one we had at our home that we just sold. The one at our former home was Kingsdown.... Absolutely marvellous. Kingsdown offers 4 sleep "systems" with 4 sets of ascending orders of firmness. We chose #3. The one we have now here in Florida is by Prana Sleep. Unreal how comfortable and forgiving the mattress is. We are using a king size mattress, and it's all but impossible to feel when the other person turns over or gets out of bed, not to mention how comfortable it is. It's real luxury getting into that bed. Caveats: both brands are very, very expensive; but, probably the most important one, is that, in our opinion, the PD patient shouldn't get very deep mattresses because the higher the bed, the more difficult it is to get into or out of it. Although David loved the Kingsdown mattress, it was waaay too high for him. The Prana Sleep that we have now is still high, but not as bad as the Kingsdown. He would now prefer a lower bed for greater ease. Consider getting an "old-fashioned" regular mattress, not one as deep as the above-mentioned ones...or at least one whose frame is flat on the floor rather than raised up. We might actually have to take the bed frame away and place the box spring directly on the floor. Hope this has helped a little.
