My mother has difficulty getting into bed. Does this one help?

Depends on how much difficulty she has. If she just need some support to swing on to the bed, it is perfect. It can be placed anywhere along the side of the bed where it would benefit her most. If the bed is small enough (ours was a CA King) it could be placed on the opposite side to give her something to pull on. The unit as a whole was very stable.

Yes, it will help, the weight of the mattress secures the device while you are getting into the bed or out of the bed, maybe a bit more caution should be used getting into bed, this unit will help.

Yes, normally my body heat warms the bed and should I get up in the night, is still warm when I return. It definitely helps me sleep better and at 71 certainly helps with morning aches.

Sorry, I don"t have that problem. It helps with most everything else, so, maybe you should give it a try! Hope that helps.

My 81 yr old mother said it supported her back and relieved the aches. She does have a bad back and that was one of the reasons I selected it. Combine that with the fact I purchased it due to her impending knee surgery and knew she would need the leg support. It worked wonderfully. In fact she has left it in her living room and is using is as a recliner.

A friend of mine had one of these. I tried it and found it to be an awesome experience. But it was sitting on the floor. The device seems a bit heavy to put on a bed. However I suppose that if someone is physically impaired a caregiver might be able to help them get it in place.

I suppose a computer Ambien might help but seriously I can not explain the Mimi's response. Maybe Macally has an answer. Sorry.

it may help some ,however it sounds like you may need to do something about your support or frame, rails ,and possibly turn you mattress and then use the topper you may be surprised ! nothing like good support, and a good nights sleep ! I love my memory foam mattress but I had to do some adjusting on my rails and then it was right ! Good luck hope this helps !

My Mom has a single bed. It slips under the top mattress and box spring. It works great for getting up and is stable enough for her. For yoursituation you must have both mattresses for a full size bed. We tried it on my Dad's full size bed and it worked. My Mom weighs 120 lbs. and myDad weighs 150 lbs. Hopes this helps

My family member had a horribly firm mattress. This is firm, but allows relief on pressure points. It is firmer than my pillow top. We purchased this specifically for issues with pain on pressure points. Hips, elbows, shoulders etc. my family has no complaints about getting out of bed, where if there were issues with firmness I would think that a 3 inch topper could trap you very easily

My mom has a hospital bed... So there is no boxspring and it works on that. I'm not sure if that answer your questions but it's the best I can do.

My mother-in-law has to sleep practically sitting up. She has used this to relieve discomfort she had due to a pressure sore. She slept sitting on it, but like I said she has a hospital bed and has to sleep sitting up. If you were laying down, I don't know how comfortable it would be.

Yes. It's on my mother's memory foam bed. She loves it, it makes her feel safe and reminds her not to get out of bed. She has crawled out of the bottom.

Yes I bought it for my mother and she sleeps in it when her back hurts. Hope this helps.

Yes. I tried having just the mattress and the bed was too hard. The box spring helped.

It is really hard to answer this question not knowing your mother. Just because someone is elderly doesn't mean they don't have strength in their hands. I am over 60 and have no problem using this grip 'n grab. I have some arthritis in my hands but not severe and I use the grabber with ease. I say give it a try and if it doesn't work usually Amazon is usualy good about allowing you to return things (but check that out first). Also, when you get it you might find it handy for yourself. This really is a great tool! I plan on getting another one or two to place in the garage and around the house.
