MAC: Just how well do nebs work, anyway?

I watched the GERD webinar by Dr. Huitt this morning. I learned so much!! I have the head elevated 6 inches on blocks, plus I have slept on my RIGHT side for YEARS due to spurs on vertebrae on left. She says the HOB should be elevated 45 degree and the NEVER lay on right side in order to prevent acid and bacteria from getting into lungs. Tonight I will sleep in my recliner.
I am going to be searching for an adjustable bed.

Another option would be to get a mattress elevator that goes under your existing mattress. It will give your sleeping surface a gradual decline. Check out this one on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R8GLK6B/

Please see let me know what you find out about an adjustable bed. I'm pretty sure that my wedge pillow with an enormous firm pillow on top is high enough. I used to sleep on my left side but that's impossible with my pillow arrangement so I sleep on my back. I would, however, consider an adjustable bed but there are so many out there!
