Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 We bought an adjustable bed at a bed store. I was the same way I did not want a hospital bed in my house, I want my daughter to have a very girly room. I didn't want to walk in to a room that reminded me of a hospital. It was 2000.00 and insurance did not cover it, we got a grant from the state that helped us buy it, but if you get a script from the doctor it will be tax free.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi : Don't know if insurance would pay for this one; but I've seen the advertisements on tv about the double, queen, kind size bed where you can adjust either side raise or lower the bed at the head and I believe the foot. I will watch tv and see if I can find the company. I know they will be expensive; but may be it's something insurance would pay for seeing as you need to be in bed with your daughter if you can get a letter from the doctor indicating that.

We really dont like the hospital bed route. We really need a double or queen size because I have to stay with her many nights due to her breathing issues and the two of us would never fit in a twin! Oh my gosh.....imagining that will give you a big chuckle! I never thought we would be doing this so soon. If anyone here has some suggestions for beds, companies to purchase from ect please let me know. Will insurance pay for this? Thanks bunches and have a great Horsley Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I can't remember the name of the grant of hand. It is Texas, you can get a one time grant of 2600.00 and then every year after you can only get 600.00. I think it if for Medically Dependent Children, also known as In Home Family Support. We got on the program early it normally takes 4-6 years and we were only on for a year when they contacted us. We have the Themperpedic Matress, you probably have seen it on t.v. The foam mattress that conforms to your body, it was more expensive than others we saw. Heidi Payton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 , We got a foam wedge with a cradle foam pillow on top for the same thing for . (the top pillow has the egg crate type design with the edges raised to help keep you from rolling off.) This was about $50.00. It has a washable outer cover and you can also make pillow cases for it. We ended up with a wedge for the knees/hips as well since when the bed is up has a tendency to scoot down to where the bed is flat. This has the added advantage of being able to move with him into the other rooms if he wants to lay on the floor or the sofa. Plus I am not trying to sleep as high up as he does. You'd need an adjustable bed with doesn't adjust on both sides. is currently afraid of heights so we have to use a mattress on the floor only.
