I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

We don't have an electrical outlet that is convenient to plug a bidet into (for warm water) so that has prevented us from giving it a shot.

We have a Tushy (Spa 3.0) that takes 2 water connections: a cold water and a hot water (comes from the tap line). That might work if you have hot water connection.

Now that you mention it, I recall that some products could tap into the hot water, but for at least one of the bathrooms that would be even a bigger PITA because the hot water lines are on opposite walls. Also with a tankless house, it can take a while for the hot water to flow, so the last thing I want is cold water flowing for the first 2 mins in the middle of winter. That doesn't sound like fun.

You don't have to plug it in, it works with the water pressure

The heated ones need power. They preheat the water.

There are some you can connect a hot water line to them, but with a tankless hot water heater, it could be a few minutes before hot water is flowing through the bidet. On a winter day, so that would be rather uncomfortable, I would think.
