My Dad is now using a foley at night, and loves being able to sleep 8 hours straight. But now he has no turns/pressure reliefs overnight. He sleeps on his left side all night on a wedge, which is his preferred side for comfort and good control of his sleep apnea on CPAP. His older skin seems to be at risk though, and his left hip is pretty red by morning and stays red for several hours. Blanches.
He added a memory foam gel topper which improved things a bit, but not enough. We were considering the ROHO air filled overlay, or something like this (see below). Are these just too good to be helpful? So cheap...

My Dad is a 73 year old incomplete para. No pressure sores since his initial hospitalization after injury.
