I am a side sleeper with GERD and sleep apnea and I have the same sliding down issue even with an adjustable bed. I hadn't really played with the leg elevation much though, but that's a good idea to see if it keeps me from sliding down. I also have a back back though so if I am sleeping on my side shaped like a banana LOL, I may then throw out my back. I already sleep with two pillows between my knees. It's such a challenge to get situated in bed. I do know I'm still getting some elevation though because when I go to a hotel and have to sleep on a perfectly flat bed, it feels like my head is going downhill instead of flat. Very uncomfortable. I just had to put the sofa cushions in the hotel room under the head of my mattress to sleep.

Yes, it's hard for a side sleeper to sleep in the recliner. I can only be on my back in the recliner or it hurts my back, but on my back my sleep apnea is worse. It's hard to decide which problem I want to battle each night. LOL

My neighbor just turned 97. I think of all my physical challenges now and think if this is what my body feels like at 64, I can't imagine what it would feel like to be 97! Holy moly!

Good luck to all!

Boy, I really can relate. Thank goodness you can laugh about it. That sure helps me too. If I could just get rid of the gerd, I could cope better with pillow support of the the bad knee and neck support. Must be a better way to keep from sliding down with my wedge. Have to admit flannel sheets on the bed and cotton sleepshirt tucked into sleep pants helps a bit!
