Mattress matters

I have PN and recently my husband was diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (dysautonomia). After 50 days in the hospital and several weeks of rehab he will be coming home. His AN affects several systems, one of which, his BP. He needs to sleep at a 30 degree angle (his torso), no lower.

I am ready to buy a Tempur pedic because of the adjustable incline that he requires. Looking at bases, several have vibration modes which I found too rough. But their highest base has several vibration options, intensities, one segment of the body or all, etc. I was ready to reject it like the others as gimmicky but after a couple minutes it felt quite relaxing, then afterwards, my feet and ankles felt wonderful. Then I quickly googled “PN and whole body vibration” and found some studies which bear out WBV reducing pain in various chronic conditions.

Has anyone found a massaging mattress to be helpful? I would think it would increase blood flow to the nerves. One article said too much could have the opposite effect but they didn’t quantify that that was.

It is a big investment, especially with their best base, so I was wondering if anyone has a mattress with vibration and if it has a positive (or hopefully not negative) impact in their PN.

Thanks to everyone in advance! Between my PN and his AN with lengthy hospitalization, it has been quite a summer.
