Is this made for people who should never get out of bed because it's "always on"? I want one just for use at night because my mom can get out of bed with assistance.

You can unplug the alarm from the pad and the alarm is disengaged till it't plugged in again.

I use this at night. That is what the instructions say. I think it can be irritating if used too much.

I think it depends on the type if sleeper that you are. I sleep on my back. Mine stays on all night with no problem. If it is connected, yes it can be used for an alarm. I hope this helps!

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

It is not always on. I believe the timeout is set around 10 seconds before going back to sleep for default.

Yes, is the best choice.! Just follow the instructions and use every night right before sleep. I am so happy with it.!!! Good luck.!!!

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

yes in deed, I have one unit in my elderly mothers room and ran a long line to the main unit in my room, it stays on all the time. however, if I need to talk to her ,yes I need to press the button, the way I have it I can hear her without her having to press anything, I hear her tv on at night. good for safety reason, if she can not get up, she can tell me without trying to press a button. depending on your needs its great if you place the main unit (the one with volume control in the room where they can't hear you, but you can hear them. I have had mine for a very long time now. works as great as it did from day one. hope this helps.

That's exactly what I use it for. It helps somewhat. I don't have to get up and walk around the house for fifteen minutes in the middle of the night any more. I would have to do that previously so I could go back to sleep.

It doesn't go off all the way. I was worried about this when I bought it as I like to sleep in the dark, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

I do not use it inside the bedrooms, its outside in the hallway. It just looked at mine and the display does not light up until you push and hold the level button. There is a green LED deep inside that is lit all the time, but it should not keep anyone up. It would not even pass as a night light. I will see if I can attach a customer image to the amazon page.

I've never run it all night, but it has an on and off switch. I turn it on when I want it to run and turn it off when I am ready to stop it. If I didn't turn it off, I'm sure it would run all night.

A friend of mine had one of these. I tried it and found it to be an awesome experience. But it was sitting on the floor. The device seems a bit heavy to put on a bed. However I suppose that if someone is physically impaired a caregiver might be able to help them get it in place.

SO I got one of these for my wife...its a simple device and works as expected..the issue is it it TOO BRIGHT at night. We have the dimmer set to mode 3 with -15 level and ON. and it is still WAYYYY too bright at night. Other than powering it off or covering the touchscreen with non-adhesive window tint any suggestions?

We only use ours for an hour or so at a time because it heats up the bedroom so quickly. So long as it does not overheat the room it is in I don't think you'll have a problem with it running all night. Just follow the instructions and keep it at least a foot away from other things. I believe that it has an internal thermostat that shuts it off if it heats itself up too much. It is a very high quality device and we are very happy with it!

If your mom has arthritis, yes it is difficult to turn on. Years ago I ad a better one, but the can be difficult to keep lit for people with manipulation problems. Great idea, but they have to improve it. Hope this helps.
