Skuehod Electric Power Lifting Adjustable Bed Back Rest for Patient Back Lumbar Support, Assist Elderly to Get Out of Bed Easily, Removeable Bedrails with Pocket, 220lbs Capacity

My 71-year-old mother is completely bedridden. Sometimes, she'd roll over and couldn't get herself up and would need my help. Plus, she was getting ready to have fistula surgery to get her ready for dialysis. I decided to purchase this for her birthday, a few weeks before the surgery. I was a bit worried because of some of the reviews -- would it be comfortable enough, etc.?I can confidently say that this is an amazing purchase. The foam is thick enough to provide support on top of the bed, but not so thick that it feels weird. The pillow that comes with it is surprisingly supportive, and gives a nice base on which to put other pillows. And, finally (and maybe most importantly for us), the cover is completely washable.She had her surgery yesterday and needs to keep her arm elevated at all times. This contraption makes that possible, while also keeping her upright and off her arm.This is a great alternative to purchasing a crazy expensive hospital bed and I highly recommend it to anyone out there who might be on the fence.

Works fine it is just really hard on the body to lay on

Sleeping on the bed it was awesome for lifting to a sitting position, but during the night, there defiantly not enough cushion for easy sleeping. We will be looking into adding at least two more inches of cushion support... like memory foam so that the user no longer experiences back pain while sleeping. Other than that, this electric back rest provided independence for the user to get in and out of bed without assistance. Goal achieved..but we will make it better with more support during the night.

Appreciate the comfort

My mom loves it! Works perfect. Only glitch for us was having something behind it to keep it in place.
