Is there a heel cup or source of help for an elderly lady who must sleep on her back

Hi Rose, I can certainly look into this for you. I just spoke to one of our Perform Better reps and unfortunately, we don't carry a particular product that would help while sleeping. Our products for therapy purposes would be used in an active setting, not while sleeping. I do apologize, and if you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you, Marissa

I do not rember there being one. I just looked at the user comments. They said the supports ran small so i assumed that a small size would be appropriate for my 90 lb wife. It turned out that i had guessed right.

You would use a traditional pillow. The "headrest" is designed to facilitate seating not sleeping.

I would suggest checking with Tuli's to see if they have heel cups just for supination. I have shoes for my supination and put heel cups in the shoes.

Sure. I also sleep on my side and use a soft pillow (though - not down). The wedge isn't that long - it covers from the top of my head to my shoulders (approximately).

Can't say I've ever tried doing that with my HoMedics Massager, but I think it probably can be done. I don't believe there's anything that forces the back of the chair to stay in an upright position, so you could probably lay it flat and turn it on while laying in a hospital bed.

Yes. I purchased it for my mother, who's 87 and this was one of her main concerns, as she was having lots of balance issues. She was 'very' pleased with the quality of the product.

My husband says yes but it would hurt a lot. Laying on it hurts, too, but he is so much better, laying on it 1/2 hour a day is totally worth it for him. The instructions say yes on feet, too, either standing on it or sitting with your feet on it. If you have diabetes or any other disease, you might want to ask your doctor about acupressure first.

Hmmm.....let`s put it this way. I`m 57 and no turkey neck here :) but Lumene does make a Firming Day Cream called "Time Freeze". If the neck is a problem area for you maybe that would be a better choice.

They have a little bit of cushion. But I bought them more for the heel cup support than cushion.

My Mom uses this item, she is 76 and has very sensitive skin. She says if she were to lay on she does think she would feel them.

I had pillows behind the pillow chair and that worked very well. Not sure how it would be without some type of back support. I hope this helps.

My father-in-law is over 100 years old and also had a sore on his bottom. This cushion has helped tremendously. However, he finds it hard to sit without slipping toward the front of the chair and has to keep hitching himself back up. I have wrapped the cushion with a towel to help the slipperyness, but just did it today, so don't know how well it will work. Pillow is good, though.

Sorry, I do not. I would suggest maybe a sheet or an oversized pillow case (like one for a body pillow maybe) or contact the manu. and see what they suggest? Good luck!

You might try getting her some gloves, like Playtex gloves that you use for doing dishes. The grip on them is pretty good, and it would take some of the work out of getting them on and off. I have an elderly friend that uses them to get his stockings on, and it helps him. Getting them off with the gloves might help also, but it sometimes takes practice getting your foot into position to be able to pull them off, especially if she is inflexible. I hope this helps you.

Massage tables aren't typically designed to be slept on overnight, I'd worry about neck problems. Plus the wear to the table. If you were to go the massage table route, I'd recommend a stationary table, way more stable & less creaky. Probably best to check with your doctor before going through the trouble though. Good luck!

There is a brace from the frame, but it does not touch your back. You lay flat on a canvas type bed with coil springs to the side frame-kind of like a hammock but very comfortable. I added used the enclosed brackets for folding and storing the beds to attach them together to make a queen size (purchased 2) and then placed a queen egg crate foam from Walmart over it and made it up just like a queen size bed for 2 people. Our company was very pleased. Both are seniors and said they slept very well. Good Luck.
