This bed & adjustable base has been an absolute, Godsend! My daughter talked me into this, as I've been recovering from a broken (right) femur and a broken (left) ankle. I had been in a twin-sized adjustable hospital bed. I'll admit...I was nervous to sleep in a bed that did not have side-rails. 
I was worried for nothing because this bed is phenomenal! The mattress, being a hybrid, gives it height and spring, as well as soft comfort. I love it and would recommend this to any & everyone!
