- ♪ Bob and Brad, ♪
the two most famous physical therapists on the internet.
- Hi folks. I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Why you point down there?
- Because that's what you did. Carry on.
- Oh. And together we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course.
- Is this the best mattress
for back, hip, and shoulder pain?
It just may be.
- Let's find out, Bob.
- Yeah. We're gonna go ahead and discuss this today.
This is the mattress by Sleep Ovation.
It's one of the latest mattresses in a box.
It seems to be the popular thing.
They come in a box like this, Brad.
- Yeah, they roll 'em up like a, like a,
- They vacuum seal them.
- Like a blanket.
Yeah. To stick them in there.
It's kind of like a neat idea.
- Yeah. But anyway, this, this mattress, we were approached
by these people and, and we really like it,
and we never endorsed a mattress before,
so we thought we'd give it a shot.
- Right. And actually we're gonna show you why,
there's some really good reasons why the-,
why a therapist would say, "Wow, that's a good idea."
But-
- Based, based on science.
- Science.

oh some weeks we do it.
Yeah. We're gonna give out positive vibes
to you if you, you like us.
So Bob and Brad. So, we got that.
- Here. I want to put an underline on it.
- There we go.
- And I do wanna mention, Brad,
sometimes when there are links below,
like on this mattress, you know,
if you do purchase this mattress,
we do get a little bit of a fee,
and I wanna make sure we're upfront about that.
But, you know, we, it helps us offset the cost
of making the videos,
and it keeps Lonnie and caviar and champagne.
That's our film person.
- But also along with it,
oftentimes there's discounts that they get.
- Yeah. We always, always make sure you get a discount
by being involved with us.
- Right.
- And also we would never do a product
that we don't completely believe in
or love or use ourselves.
So anyway, let's move on Brad.
So, a long time ago, Brad, I had a friend,
he wrote a book, several books.
This one's Posture, Sitting and Standing,
but he also wrote one
on wheelchair positioning and pressure sores.
Really a boring topic if you're not in this field.
- Yeah. So we'll kind of fast forward through this.
- But what he, he endorsed when he was,
he said there was one cushion that really helps
for people who have skin breakdown,
it's called the roll hole cushion.
And I wanted to show you this
because it, it relates to this, so stick with me.
- Right. And, and this is, when I saw this, this mattress,
I mean, I thought of the roll hole cushion
because this is the Cadillac of wheelchair cushions,
in my opinion.
- Yeah. If you're having pressure sores,
you know, or skin breakdown or discomfort with sitting
- Let alone just comfortable.
You sit on that and it's like, wow,
you feel like you're sitting on air.
- Right.
- You are. It's wonderful.
- And this is called a low profile,
which means the, the cells are not as high,
as some of 'em go up another big, they double in size.
So anyway, he did a, he did
a ton of research on, on pressure,
and he found that was the best answer to it.
So, lo and behold,
they come forward with this cushion or this, this mattress,
and it's got 700 individual cushions like that.
And we're gonna prove it to you in just a little bit.
- Yeah. We're gonna show you that,
we're gonna expose it so you can see it.
The concept is
- The exact the same.
- Right.
- So what we wanna show why that's really important.
- Do you want me to read this?
- No.
- Oh, good.
- I don't know that you're capable, Brad.
Let's bring Sam the skeleton forward here.
He's from 3B. They were really nice to send us one.
So, what I wanna show you on here is when you're laying
for your back, you wanna make sure that you are
in a, a mattress that's firm enough,
that's gonna keep you in good posture.
I don't want you sinking in.
You know, I don't want you slumping in.
But when you do like this, you don't want to have
these gaps in here.
Brad's gonna should those to you here.
- Right there.
So we've got about an inch and a half gap here,
and that's natural.
The, the spine has a arch there,
and that's normal. But
- Gap here.
- There's a gap here.
- Yep. There can be gaps here.
- A little over here.
There's a pressure point here on the heel.
- Yep.
- And those are all points that can cause discomfort
if the mattress doesn't conform to you in a proper way.
- Right. What's, what's ideal is if you're in good posture,
but yet the mattress conforms and fits up into those gaps.
- Right.
- Now, we're also gonna show if you lay on your side.
So look at what happens when you lay on your side.
Now look at the point pressure you get on that shoulder.
- Yeah.
- So if you're having shoulder difficulties
and yeah, Sam can't keep his hands outta the way,
you're getting a lot of pressure on that, that shoulder.
- Right.
- You're also getting a lot of pressure on that hip.
And Brad and I unfortunately can attest to this fact
that a lot of patients,
even when they're having pain on one side,
they still end up laying on that side sometimes.
- It's a habit.
Yeah. They can't, and they wake up that way, but-
- So Bob, there's one other thing, as far as the back
is concerned on your side.
When you lay like this, the body has a tendency to
- To curve that way.
- To curve in, and then it's out of neutral,
and it can also cause back pain as well.
That's a problem I have with, with, you know,
a normal mattress.
- A normal mattress.
Okay. Well, let's do this.
Brad, Let's take the boards outta here.
We can move this outta the way.
- Be careful, Bob.
- Yeah, we can move this outta the way too.
People know it's Sleep Ovation.
All right, let's go, move this over here.
And we're gonna go ahead, and we're gonna show you,
reveal to you now, on video,
the actual cells we got here.
- Yeah. Let's get a, can you zoom in a little bit
on this, Lonnie?
Don't get us, get the mattress.
- So below in here, we got a nice spring base, base,
and then above it, you have these individual cells.
Look at that.
Brad, should we count 'em all right now?
- [Brad] Yes. Let's really bore our viewers
and start counting.
- [Bob] There's only 700 of 'em, so
- [Brad] Right. Actually, we did do a bit of counting.
- [Bob] Yeah, we did count.
- [Brad] We do it that way and that way, we did the math.
- Yeah, we did the math. We're smart guys.
Okay. So let's show this here.
- It wasn't exactly calculus, but we did use some math.
Okay. Let's get 'em
- All right, I'm grabbing 'em by the neck here.
- Be careful.
- [Bob] So what you can see here is that
with any weight at all,
watch this now, if I just push down a little bit,
look at that, how it conforms right into the spine,
And it takes the pressure off.
Even on the neck here without a pillow,
just a little bit of pressure,
and now there's no more a gap in there.
- [Brad] Right. And so you, you just keep in mind,
we have a skeleton here. There's no pressure, but
- [Bob] Right.
- You fill this in with a person's flesh and body,
and that's more than enough weight
for these individual cells to do their job.
Exactly, as we mention, you can see the sacrum.
I just love the way the sacrum,
it's hard to see, if I get these out of the way,
you can see how they conform right to the sacrum.
And then they're taller in the lumbar spine
to offer support.
It does, what it does, the same thing that ROHO does
to the seated bo-, you know, it is a wonderful, you know
- [Bob] I bet you Sleep Ovation's going,
"What the heck are they doing?"
- [Brad] We can't worry about what they're
thinking about. We gotta get into this.
- [Bob] So the same thing here.
Now we're gonna have it sink in like this.
You see how it sinks in,
now there's the less pressure on the shoulder.
- [Brad] Yeah. Look at that.
- [Bob] Less pressure on the hip.
The back is supported here.
Well, we got an arm in the way here.
I mean, if you throw in the
- [Brad] We have to take the arm off. Yeah.
- [Bob] Yeah.
- [Brad] Like the Saturday night life,
I used to get back from, 1979.
- [Bob] That one's, that one's new to me, Brad, that's all.
So anyway, it's gonna fill in all the gaps
- [Brad] Right.
- [Bob] So, you know, this is one that pertains mostly
to the older patient is the heel.
- Right. You know, if you get heal spurs and skin breakdown,
it's, you know, it's individual for the heel, too.
I think, I just wanted to bring that up.
- Yeah, alright. What's nice about these,
you can actually clean in between them, and, you know,
there's airflow going between it, so it should be cooler.
- Sure.
- Right, Brad, but also you can clean in between these.
- Well that's what I was really worried about is,
I'm a incredibly nitpicky person, I like spotlessness,
but you can pick your, your vacuum cleaner.
There we go, and you can get right in between there.
See how that works.
- [Bob] There we go. You can work right along there.
(Brad imitates vacuum clearer)
- This is, this is, okay. We can stop, Brad.
- I'm having fun, Bob.
- Alright. This is an obsessive compulsive's dream
right here, and that's Brad.
He's gotta have everything super clean.
Let's put this back in place, Brad.
So we got the one layer here
- I'd probably have to do that every time
before I go to bed.
I'm just kidding.
- I wouldn't doubt that he would do that.
- No, Bob, I'm not that bad.
- He's close.
- No.
- He's not quite. Do you have the zipper?
- Oh yeah, I do.
- So you know, it has two layers there.
- Ready?
- Yeah. Go ahead. Off you go. Yep. Very good.
So, well, Brad, we gotta do this.
- Here, we gotta get the wrinkles out, Bob.
- Oh, geez.
- Oh, there we go.
- This sheet was not really,
this is actually a California king sheet.
- Oh really?
- Yeah. So, but we gotta do this.
- Oh yeah.
- So, you can see, now all my gaps are filled in.
I lay on my side, and my shoulder sinks in,
and it's nice and comfortable.
Of course I'm gonna have a pillow.
- [Brad] Why not throw a pillow?
- There's a pillow right behind you, Brad.
- [Brad] I'd rather have Lonnie throw one. There you go.
- He always likes that.
So, you know, everything is conformed to it, yet,
but yet my posture is perfect.
You know, I'm in, I'm in good posture, yet,
although this is, you know,
sinking in and covering all my curves.
Now the only thing, I'd say this-
- [Brad] Your curves are covered, Bob.
- Yeah, this is a medium firmness.
- [Brad] Okay.
- So if you're looking for something really firm,
this, this wouldn't be for you.
And the other thing is when you sit on the edge here,
you do sink in a bit.
So I, you have to keep that in mind
if you have to try, have trouble getting outta bed.
- [Brad] Right. Right.
Which I know can be a concern with some people.
- So just a couple of the, you know,
things to start mentioning,
this has a hundred night sleep trial.
So you can try it for a hundred nights
- [Brad] A hundred nights.
If you're not happy with it, you can
- You can return it.
I want you to know that it's not reversible,
you can't flip this around,
cause it's got springs on the bottom
and it's got the, the cells on the top.
- Right. With the old mattresses, you know,
you could flip your mattress
and then you could turn it 90 degrees,
and that was supposed to be a good maintenance,
but you're not gonna do that with this.
- It's got free shipping.
And if you, if you're watching this
and it's before Memorial Day, 2018,
you wanna get it on this now
because they're actually having that $300 off
- $300 discount.
Plus they're gonna give another 50
to the Bob and Brad subscribers.
So that's $350 off, so
- And free shipping.
- Right.
- Right, so there'll be a discount code below
that you should use,
and that'll give you the, the money off.
And again, you know,
we're not trying to be mattress sales people here,
but we always like to try to expose people to new products
- Right.
- That we like, and, and if people are looking
for a mattress, you know,
this is something I think to consider because it's,
you know, especially if that's one of your issues.
- Right. It's certainly got the right.
- [Lonnie] Where are they going to go then?
- Where are they gonna go?
We're gonna have a link down below where to buy. Yeah, so.
- Down in the floor?
- Yeah. Down, oh, down in the description.
- Oh, on the video.
- Yeah. On the video description.
- Just clarifying things.
- Good question Lonnie. See, that's why she's paid so much.
- Right. So let me to bed once, Bob.
- All right, we'll let him do that.
Thanks everybody for watching.
- Thank you.
