I got the adjustable base with it and I just had shoulder replacement. I set base on zero gravity and that with mattress I was able to sleep on my back as I needed to do.
Sleeping on this mattress feels like you are sleeping on an old worn out mattress and everywhere you move to feels like you are in a soft spot. You just sink in! It is also harder to get out of bed because you feel like you are climbing out of a hole!
We loved the first one which went with my wife when she entered a senior living facility due to her dementia. I wanted her to be as comfortable as she was when she was living at home. I missed it so much I bought one for myself also. No more back aches.
I was hesitant to get a product with memory foam but have found this to be very comfortable as it forms to my body, and the hybrid option provides good support. I have hip problems and these features are helping me to sleep so much better. A side note: My 19 y.o. cat absolutely loves it for his old bones too! This is all true once I get into the bed. My only issue is that, because the bed is so high, the mattress has no "bounce", so doesn't help you while getting into the bed. I solved that by getting a bed step.
Wish I would have purchased soon. More affordable than I thought. Great bed and very comfortable. With the adjustable base husband is now able to sleep in the bed
The memory foam mattress is very comfortable and the Ergo adjustable bed base works flawlessly. This is a great product to help with making sleep comfortable, especially for those like myself who suffer from sleep apnea and arthritis. Adjusting the head end all the way up makes getting out of bed much easier than from a traditional flat bed. Slightly raising the leg end of the bed makes sleep more comfortable and also aids in reducing swelling around the ankles from fluids pooling in the legs.
