Hi,
My apologies if this is the wrong forum!
My son (6'1" 180#, C6) has the worst POS bed. It's a Drive bed. They replaced the leaky low air loss mattress twice and the new one now only works if left on stagnant mode. The mattress whines and whistles all the time.
The frame has twice come apart and crashed to the floor with him in it. It now has to be used fixed height, making it very hard to do transfers. His DME won't make any repairs because it's now over 2 years old (just). We paid a $200 co-pay for this thing and I feel sorely used.
I know there are better beds that I can ill afford. I ogle beds on ebay but am terrified of getting stuck with something I cannot afford to fix. Are you all just able to buy your own beds, or is insurance paying?
He has Medicare/Medicaid, and me.
Any advice is sincerely appreciated.

New bed, and how to get insurance to pay for it?
