Looking for mattress for someone with chronic pain, tried so many brands at store, nothing seemed like it'd work. Granted all the store models are generally in medium so...I'm not sure if a plush model of anything might work, but

Tried:
Leesa/Helix/Nectar/Brooklyn Bedding/Tempurpedic (all models)/Stearns and Foster/Purple/etc.

All of them have at least one problem:

Either:

1. Too much back pain

2. Too little sinkage for the hips (she has big hips, so she doesn't want to be lifted up)

3. Too hard of rim on the edge of bed (irritating)

Not sure what to do. Thanks so much!

has anyone here tried inspire? I know it’s usually difficult to pass the 15 AHI threshold they usually want for Inspire but I’m curious if anyone’s tried it (by either getting 15 AHI somehow or paying out of pocket)

If so, has anyone had success with it?

Thanks so much.

how is this mattress overall for disability related pain? is the longevity of it good too?

Does anyone have a finished save file for The Pirates Curse on PC? Thank you so much!

what are good places with really nice seats such as couches or really comfortable plush chairs?

any libraries ?

cafes?

good restaurants?

looking in both brooklyn and Staten Island. thanks so much!

i have OCD too but she has two specific OCD:

one is she is adamant about keeping her phone app streaks (ie Duolingo, Headspace, etc)

another is she is disturbed by ”imperfections” such as when things don’t form a perfect shape or square.

what can I do to help? thanks so much!

i can’t verify this but I’m reading in multiple places that the big mattress companies are cheapening out on materials to make them last shorter so people have to buy mattresses more often. is this true?

if so, how do you find a mattress that’s good that’ll last? i liked the Serta icomfort hybrid applause II plush mattress ten years ago but I don’t know if Serta or any other company manufactures something like it anymore.

any suggestions would be great.

Looking for a mattress that works for someone with a disability.

Currently shes trialing a Leesa legend chill hybrid for a number of months now, and the company already generously extended her trial period. she has 48 hours left to decide whether to keep it

Problem is she’s disabled, so a mattress that may be ”good enough” for some is risky for her. she has knee pain, lower back pain, and chronic pain in general She says it’s like a 7/10 mattress for her overall, some days being a 9/10 and some days being a 5/10. Her biggest fear is that it’ll worsen over time

Basically, she wishes it didn’t have a rim on the sides and she wishes it was a little more plush with less coil support. But not sure if that warrants swapping mattresses. She’s trying out mattress toppers but its a tough call if that moves the needle enough, and sadly there’s only 48 hours more to decide.

The mattress is 13.5 inches high and she wouldn’t want to go much lower or higher due to knee pain (and is concerned a box spring might create an unforeseen issue)

which is easier to keep clean? how do you structure your oral hygiene to make sure your teeth are clean and safe?

Does anyone know if he uses the MARPE design with arms or without? (not talking about FME)

Most other practitioners I’ve seen use the MARPE with arms hence why I was curious

I'm hearing different things from different people- is the piezo cut necessary for males in their mid 30s or no?

Also, there are different ways of performing it: Piezo dots versus a full cut. Any downsides for doing it?

does it matter based on age or gender? or is it more to do with skeletal structure?

one provider wants to do piezo one wants to use arms instead. I wish I knew more.

has anyone tried tongue base radiofrequency? what was the result?

did it help? My ENT said my lingual tonsils may be the culprit but I don’t know anyone who got the surgery.

so FME is three times the price of MARPE so I’d be curious what the hype is about.

1. how do aesthetics compare?

2. how does expansion compare?

Any other metrics to consider? because money is tight for me and FME would only be worth it if there’s a notable benefit for doing so

thanks so much.

Quick question: If I’m looking to primarily expand in the posterior of my mouth (the back third) is FME the best option for that? Or is MARPE able to achieve that just as well?  thanks a lot

For me, Id love to see Barcelona/Madrid Spain or Machu Picchu Peru. Seoul South Korea could also be cool.

And Id love Kyoto Japan to match all the blossoming Birbs stuff. what about you? 🙂

what are the pros and cons?

I have one provider who uses arms to help the suture split and then removes the arms after three months. another provider skips the arms and just does a piezo cut.

what are the pros and cons to both approaches?
