I had back surgery and slept on an air mattress for awhile because
I could make it softer or firmer as needed at night.

I then went back to a regular mattress which felt as hard as a rock
and I couldn't get any sleep, tossed and turned all night trying to get comfortable.

I cannot sleep on regular mattresses now.

Loved the air mattress so much I eventually bought an air mattress type mattress.

I believe they will assemble it too. Probably charge for it, but worth asking... Wounded Bear Sep 29 #5
