Last night's sleep was so much better as Shelley's "Roho Mattress" arrived making it unnecessary to turn her every couple of hours through the night. The mattress distributes pressure evenly throughout her body. Their are signs of a bed sore beginning which, we trust, the Roho will prevent from further developing so that it can heal on its own.
In a few days, a home care worker will come every morning to help me with Shelley's "spa times." O. T. was here yesterday with lots of tips to make life easier, Monica spent two hours with us checking Shelley over and waiting with her for the new mattress to arrive, and a V.O.N. (who comes daily) was also here for an hour. Such an amazing amount of support!
We both are settling in for this gentle time continuing to be grateful for what has been and appreciative of the ongoing love and care that surrounds us.

I just got a new mattress that performs a similar function - it is a memory foam mattress. It moulds around the shape of your body and also accounts for any movements you make during the night, hence increasing comfort. How is the new mattress holding up for you?
Is the Roho mattress still popular?
BTW
I think memory foam mattresses are definitely what's popular these days.
