Thanks for the concern about making my own crash pad. I don’t think I will do that. The foam was open cell.

[twilsonone5811]

You can’t beat that price. I will definitely look into it. What type of padding or was the padding on the mattress?

[twilsonone5811]

I was planning to look at foam. Do you think the foam would work or would you do think the spring would be better? Also, did you get firm?

[twilsonone5811]

Did you buy foam and I am assuming you bought 2. Did you attach them to each other or do you have them on each side of the pole? Forgive me if my question sounds stupid.

Thank-you Mary Ellyn. Support is very important to me. I will check out Pole-O-Mat.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I would have think about the space issue – I live in a small apartment but, if I cut it into fourths, I could attach with Velcro and it allow for easier storage.

[twilsonone5811]

Thank all of you for your ideas and suggestions.

[twilsonone5811]

Thank you for the quick response and the ideas for alternatives.

[twilsonone5811]

Thank you so much. I am really thinking of a used pole but will buy a new one. However, other than going to sites that sell poles, I would have no idea where to find a used one. I will probably end up buying new.

I don’t sweat much and, what about the diameter? I am sure portable will be the way to go for me. What are your thoughts on spinning vs static or should I get one that does both? You have been so helpful and thank you.

[twilsonone5811]

Thank you. Does that mean I need to get 2 poles? I see that there are portable ones and then there are removable ones.
