@paxmundi Can you ask your doctor to prescribe a hospital bed? When my Dad needed one, with the script, Medicare paid for a rental. Then if you find it helpful, you can go to,a local mattress company (in Minnesota we have one called The Original Mattress Company) and buy one comparable to the National brands for about half the price.

@sueinmn Thanks for offering another strategy, Sue. I know that I would definitely benefit from this as I have been sleeping with a 30 degree wedge but it just hasn’t been quite enough.

On the mattress issue, do you mean just go to a generic mattress store locally and find something that may be a lot cheaper? Sounds good! One concern is off-gassing. I was somewhat primed to go for the Costco Casper on sale right now, but I just saw a review on YouTube that said it had awful offgassing. It seems that we particularly have to pay attention to that aspect.
