- Oh yeah.
So for sure.
Alright, let's talk.
First of all, Brad, we're gonna try to take some
of the pressure off your hip pain
your hips and your shoulders.
Let's start out with the hips first.
- Sure.
- Do you mind laying down, Brad?
- Oh no.
I would love to lay down on this.
- So you, you're lay flat on your back and,
and the big thing with hips is
the more you can keep them in their
what we call loose pack position.
So when the, when the hip is completely straight
or when the hip is completely bent,
there's stress on the hip.
If you can put it in the middle, somewhere in the middle
there's gonna be a lot less stress on it.
So you can do that by stacking up some pillows.
We really like a leg.
We like this.
I mean, you love this right, Brad?
- Oh yeah.
- For your back.
- I just had a woman with back pain yes- Tuesday.
And I put this there and she was incredibly happy really
with that low back or hip problems.
It really does wonders on that.
- Yeah. And, and you don't, it's not
that you have to sleep like this all night long.
You say you often start like this and then, you know
in the middle of the night you just toss it out and-
- Right. Put it on the floor
and then carry on with my sleep.
- So that's, if you're gonna sleep
on your back for your hip pain
you wanna go ahead and get and get the pillows.
And since you're on your back, Brad,
I'm gonna go ahead and show the shoulder right away too.
- Well, it's right here, Bob.
Yeah, we're gonna, yeah, I know.
We're gonna jump around a little bit here.
So he's got a pillow. If you're on your back
and you want to keep your shoulder in a good position.
Again, right now it's kind of in a
a closed pack position 'cause it's all the way back.
It's a little bit extended even.
So we're assuming that Brad has pain on this shoulder.
So you're gonna go ahead and you're gonna go ahead
and just stick a pillow under here like this
and it brings it up into a little bit
of flexion and it puts it into a comfortable position.
If that's not comfortable, you can go like this.
- Yeah.
- You know, find the
the position that works best for you.
- Yeah. You, you'll know 'cause you put where
where your body talks to you and, and it says, oh
that feels very good, then you're there.
- Right.
Alright, let's go and let's roll onto your side, Brad.
- Which side, Bob?
- Why don't you face.
- Okay. Face the camera?
- Yeah, face the camera.
- Just warn 'em a little bit.
So there you go.
- Yeah, that's right.
It's a little scary.
Okay. I'm, I'm, I'm on my mic but I don't think
with this mattress, I don't think it's gonna bother.
- No, that's right.
I think you're right.
So on your side, this is the one that quite often
I was actually having some hip pain recently, Brad.
I was a little shocked
out how sharp it was, and-
- Well, you're getting older, Bob.
- I am getting older but I tend to sleep like this.
- Ah.
- And that has stress on the hip all night long.
- Yep. Oh yeah.
- So I had to start going to putting a pillow
between the legs.
- The definite sign of, of aging process.
- Yeah. And I actually, to be honest with you
the pillow kind of got warm for me.
So I started using a one
of those little pillows you can buy,
- Right.
- That a little for in between the legs.
- Sure.
- It just works out really good.
- Now normally I'd put my head down here
and rest a little bit, but I'm gonna bend my mic.
- Yeah, yeah.
- We just got these mics.
We're so happy with them too.
- That's right.
- I hope they are.
I don't know.
- And you can see what he is doing
with his shoulder there too.
He is actually, you know
giving some support for the shoulder.
I actually, even Brad for the shoulder
let's say this is his painful shoulder
I often have people use two pillows.
- Sure.
- I have put one flat and then one like this.
And this makes a big difference.
'Cause you're not turning it then dent.
- Oh, yeah.
And then, so you can also go like this.
I mean, you know, some people sleep
with it on their body like this.
- Wow. Yeah.
- So.
- You do whatever the shoulder feels the most comfortable.
Right. And for me, I can tell right here,
it's just absolutely wonderful.
Oh, Bob.
- Now sometimes too-
- You wanna finish the video? I'm gonna take a nap.
- Oh, we're keep we're still going here, Brad.
So stay in that position now a lot
of times get on your side again, Brad.
- Oh, side.
- Yep. When you're on your side, you're right on the point
of the hip and you're right on the point of the shoulder.
- That white spot right there.
So sometimes to help that,
you can lean back a little bit like this.
- Oh.
- Just so you're halfway on the shoulder
and halfway on the hip.
And that takes some of the stress off of it too.
- So I got this pillow right there on my right
halfway down my back.
A lot of halfway here, but that feels comfortable there.
And then I can get my pillow organized.
There we go. Now can I relax?
- All right. Now we got one more shoulder one to show, Brad.
- Oh, okay.
- This is the one where we create the, remember the canal.
So we, you're gonna take, and I, I live this one.
I I have a little throw pillow I put right here.
- Yep.
- Creates the canal here.
- Yep.
- You might have two pillows for the, 'cause you're
on your side a lot of times.
Now this takes the stress off the shoulder
as you lay on your side. It makes a big difference.
Especially if you're, you're one
of those people that have pain in the shoulder
but you just, it's a habit.
You've been sleeping that way for 20 years
and you can't change it.
That's when you're gonna want to create this canal.
It'll take some of the stress off the shoulder.
- Right. Yeah. I've had a few patients
that they have to sleep on that side.
- I know.
- They've been doing it for, well, this guy who was like
77 years old, they literally can't sleep unless they
they get on that side. So.
- Right.
- Alright, we wanna show the mattress
a little bit here, Brad, why we like this mattress.
- Right.
- It all started when we were approached and we
they showed us this mattress
with all these different individual cells.
Right. Brad and I immediately thought of the roho cushion.
Now this is a cushion we've been using with patients for,
what, 30 years, right?
- Yeah. There're it's a wheelchair cushion.
Obviously you can tell
by the size it's about the size you sit on.
But with people who have to sit a long time in a wheelchair
they can become very uncomfortable and actually be
have open sores developed.
- Yeah, skin breakdown.
- Right.
- And and they have found, and I, you know
a friend of mine actually wrote a book
on pressure sores and sitting and he found this to be
by research the most pressure relieving cushion
that there is on the market.
- Right. And if you look at it
you can see there's individual cells and
if you look at the, the bed, it's made exactly
the same way how there's 700 of 'em on this bed.
Yeah. So we're gonna show you a little demonstration here,
why this works so well.
We're gonna go ahead and put the boards on here.
Now, so what you wanna do when you have a mattress is-
- Do I have to lay on the board, Bob?
- You do not have to land on the board, Brad.
- We're gonna have Napoleon do it for us.
- Oh good.
- We're bringing Napoleon out of, out of retirement.
- [Brad] Yep. Wow.
- [Bob] So he should be, what's nice about a board
and that's why sometimes they'll say things like
"you should sleep on the floor when you got back pain"
is, it puts your back and neck
in complete straight alignment.
- [Brad] Right.
- [Bob] Which is what you want.
The problem is, look at the,
where the pressure points are, Brad.
Do you wanna get one of your wands
and show the-
- [Brad] Well of course I do, Bob.
I believe I I don't, there it is.
- [Bob] No wonder. There's a pressure point right here,
on the head.
There's a pressure point.
Well, that that doesn't even hit the back.
There's right on the butt and the tailbone.
Yep. It, it's, you know, and showing on the
the knee and then on the heel.
- [Brad] Right. The, the heel is is really a common one
where you can have skin breakdown from too much pressure.
- [Bob] Let's roll him on his side once Brad.
- [Brad] Yeah, sure.
- If we roll him on his side, now look at this.
Extreme pressure on the point of the shoulder.
Extreme pressure on the point of the hip right there.
Extreme pressure on the knee
- [Brad] Especially on the sideways with the knee.
- [Bob] Yep.
- [Brad] And extreme pressure on the ankle there too.
And the ankle ball.
Instead of the heel, it's the ankle there. Yep.
- So let's take the boards outta here.
- It's kinda like pulling the
the thing out of the table then.
- That's right. For a magician. Right?
- Yeah. Whew. There we go.
- Aren't we smooth?
- Well now you can, I I wish we could get the camera up here
'cause you can really see how these individual cells,
c ells work.
- Yeah. How they sink right there
on the sacrum and the tailbone there.
- [Bob] We're gonna have to show that sometime somehow.
- [Brad] Yeah, we'll we'll get that.
- [Bob] But you look here, he's still in really good posture
but he's sinking in
to the point where the pressure is being spread out now.
- [Brad] Right.
- [Bob] So now it's not just getting right on the head,
that you see it's going all the way along the spine.
If you weigh it, you know, if he's a little heavier
you're gonna see the pressure's gonna be spread
along all the way along the body show
on the ankle or the heel, Brad. How that really works well.
- [Brad] Let's, let's move him over this way.
- [Bob] Sure.
I did wanna mention the very first night that I slept
on my Sleep Ovation mattress.
This is where I felt the support on my lumbar spine.
I've never felt that sleeping before
and I felt it just felt wonderful.
It was a good support.
Now if you look at the, the heel, we're gonna look
at one cell and that heel is just about that size.
And you can see how it just, that that cell will just take
take the pressure, take the pressure there
and then allow it to be spread out through the calf.
And that's exactly what you want.
'Cause normally what what we do is we put pillows
underneath the calf to keep the heel off elevated.
- [Bob] Right.
- [Brad] So this essentially does the same thing.
- [Bob] Let's turn him.
- Turn, which way?
And the side.
- Oh yeah.
- And this is the same thing.
- Look Bob, look what happened to him.
- Oh god, what are we gonna do?
- That's a problem.
- That's why he's getting old.
- [Bob] Houston. We have a problem.
- Yeah.
- But right here now you can see how the shoulder sinks in.
Again, if you could look at it from an aerial view, it's
it's poking down like four of these cells
and taking the pressure off the shoulder.
Taking the pressure off the hip.
- [Brad] Yeah.
- [Bob] Taking the pressure off the knee
taking the pressure off the ankle.
[Brad] And, and this is where my wife
was having problems sleeping on her side with her shoulder.
After we got the mattress? Much better.
- Right.
- Yeah.
- So it's not a miracle worker, but it's definitely
I think the best pressure relieving mattress
on the market and-
- Very good engineering.
- Yep. Very good.
