I'm in the market for a new bed to accommodate my Parkinson's. I've been considering an adjustable bed, but I saw an add for a "lift bed" that assists those with difficulty getting out of bed.
I would appreciate some guidance

Hello @wagross,

A couple of years ago, I invested in an adjustable bed. It simply raises and lowers the head and the feet of the mattress. It tends to cost a bit less than a sleep number bed, as it does not have all of the other features of temperature control, firmness, etc.

Your choice of a bed is probably dependent on your symptoms and what type of help you need. Is getting in and out of bed a problem for you right now?

I have mild tremors. Recently bought a pillow top and find moving on it is difficult. I suggest a plain top.
