@candidough47 I have bed risers under the two casters/legs of the bedframe at the head of the bed. You can buy bed risers on Amazon or any store that sells bedding, but Amazon would be your best bet. The bed risers come in a pack of four, one for each caster/leg of the bed frame, but you need to use just two at the head of the bed.

Downside is I keep sliding down the bed during the night because of the slant and have to keep shuffling back to the top of the bed, lol, but after a while you get used to it. Small price to pay for relief from reflux, though.

Sometimes I get chest pains from acid reflux any time of day or night, and when I do, I take a few sips of water and the pain is relieved. The pain can recur multiple times after the first episode, but I keep a bottle of water with me at all times, and just take sips.

@candidough47 - P.S.: if you can afford a mechanical bed with remote, that would be the ideal. I have been eyeing one on Amazon because he price is reasonable and set up is easy. Only problem with the mechanical beds is you need to get the suitable mattress as well.

Here’s the link to the one I want. This brand comes in Twin XL, double, Queen and King sizes too. Easy assembly is the best part. I don’t care for the masssage feature, and apparently you can get one without this feature too - for less. I think this one is the e4 model, but the e3 model (which I want to get) does not have the massage feature.
