@cjj2 I'm on Medicare, so they paid for a hospital-style bed for me. The "bare-bones" beds are not that expensive, if your insurance won't cover it. Used ones frequently come on the market. I have a small inclinometer, which attaches to the bed frame magnetically. Each night, I turn it on and punch the decline button on the control and lower the head until the instrument reads 34 degrees. (I read in bed at a higher angle.) That's it. I've tried all the other methods, even a slanted mattress. Nothing has worked until this...
