Elbow? Pfft! Talk to me when you receive a flying knee to the ribs.

Haha....don't laugh. I never got around to getting a frame for my air bed at the lake last year. Of course, the one I wanted is not available this year. others they want $300-$400 now. I thought that I'd just make a frame to lift the bed 6" off the floor. Real simple...a 1x6 perimeter frame, 2x4 cross pieces and a sheet of plywood ......over $150 for the material !

@nevada72

Bob, I can only find one place that seems to have the Progressives in stock with the HD springs and they're $679. Amazon, Revzilla, Etc. all out. DennisKirk is the only place that seems to have them.

Edit: The more research I do suggests SD instead of the HD based on my weight, and adjust preload for when Tanya rides. I really don't know...

Edit again: Seeing everything you have posted about the shocks, you strongly recommend the HDs and have valid reasons for doing so.

Haha...yeah, really. Sleeping on the couch is much cheaper. Considering how comfortable it is with a 3" memory foam pad on top, it is pretty cheap. Even making the frame, I still have under $400
into it. I spent a helluva lot more on regular mattresses that kill my back.
