New Tempur-Pedic Mattress

Massage

Electronically the bed should be fine, but I wouldn't use the massage feature due to the vibration. I haven't used a massage chair or "back thumper" since I got my implant. 

No No No...

Oh, No, No, No, you shouldn't use that Temper-pedic it's hazardous. As luck would have it though, I was just about to purchase a new mattress and since you have a new one you won't be needing you could just send it my way, I'll just learn to suffer with it, and we'll both be better off.

Seriously, enjoy the bed. Yeah some function like vibrate, may be uncomfortable if you have rate response turned on but don't let that stop you. Try it out and if there's a problem with a feature just don't use that one.

Thank you for the responses. I have a feeling I'm going to love it. Cabg Patch, you had me going there....

Got one, love it, works fine, and a word about interference

I have a tempurpedic mechanical bed. I got it because I sometimes have SOB issues when lying flat. It's wonderful to be able to raise my head just enough without pilling up pillows. Almost by accident I discovered that the vibrator function can help me get back to sleep when I waken in the middle of the night.

Never once, ever, had I experienced any pacemaker interference from raising, lowering, or using the vibrator function. Bumpy roads sometimes bother me. Vibrator bed, no.

Now here is a hard truth about electrical things causing your pacemaker to malfunction. If you're going to worry about them, be prepared for a constant state of paranoia. Electromagnetic fields are everywhere. Everywhere.

If it runs on electricity--and I'm including your own body!--it is generating an electromagnetic field. Toasters, clock radios, electric frying pans, you know about. But have you thought about subways, electronic door locks, water heaters, the automatic doors at the supermarket? 

The FREEZER section at the supermarket! OMG! Row upon row of big, powerful freezers and you have been innocently walking between them. Standing close to them. Reaching inside.

You can't go anywhere. except maybe Antarctica. where you are not moving through an ocean of electromagetic radiation. That's the bad news.

The good news is that those who have designed our little miracles know about the electromagnetic radiation. They know it's everywhere. And so they designed your pacemaker to be able to handle anything you might come across in normal life.

I know when you first get a PM you feel fragile, tentative, out of control, not sure how to care for yourself and this ridiculously little thing that stands between you and oblivion...If you must control your exposure to something, then focus on your diet, exercise, and stress-relieving activities.

Enjoy your new bed. And give the sweet man who gave it to you and extra kiss.

your fine

My hospital bed was about the same setup. It did not hurt my pacer.
