That should help keep the mattress from sliding side to side. You should be able to find one at Home Depot, Target, or Lowes They're made for rugs. But I've had customers use them for their bases and say it works fine. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?keyword=non%2Bslip%2Bpad&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Buy a non slip pad and place it between the base and mattress.

They will probably refuse the mattress, but they may take the bed. Otherwise, try a homeless shelter, same caveat. ................................................................................................................

I have a Permanent Handicapped Parking Space State Permit (PHPSSP) which gives me the legal right to park in Handicapped Parking Spaces. I use a quad-cane, a seated Rollator Walker, a manual Wheelchair (WC), and two Power Mobility Devices (PMDs) which is a Power Wheelchair (PMD-PWC) and a Power Operated Vehicle (PMD-POV) which is a 4-Wheel Electric Handicapped Scooter. The federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that a Handicapped Parking Space have a Handicapped Access Aisle that is marked with diagonal lines. Disabled persons like myself that have a Handicapped Conversion Motor Vehicle with a Power-Lift need to have a Handicapped Access Aisle either on the left side or the right side of the Handicapped Parking Space in order to unload Manual Wheelchairs, Power Wheelchairs, and Electric Handicapped Scooters. Handicapped Conversion Motor Vehicles need room to "drop the power-lift" which the space to do so is provided by Handicapped Parking Spaces that has a Handicapped Access Aisle. A regular parking space does not provide the needed space to "drop the power-lift" in order to unload Manual Wheelchairs, Power Wheelchairs, and Electric Handicapped Scooters.

Would you prefer them wrestling the Power Chair out of the van while they're parked next to you ? Handicap Parking is designed to accommodate wheel chairs. Why not cut those confined to wheel chairs a little slack. I'm happy to be able to walk around without having to worry about a wheel chair of any description. They drive too, don’t they ?

This is so they have room to get their wheel chairs out and set them up besides their vehicles. And since many handicapped folks can walk, but with a walker, they too need those same spaces. My beef is that there are always far too many handicapped spaces. Have you EVER seen a parking lot where even half of the handicapped spaces are used lawfully?
