My husband has trouble sleeping lying flat.. does pretty well sleeping in a lounge chair. He’d like to try an adjustable bed. Anyone tried this?

I have a hospital bed for my husband who is bedridden, it’s indispensable as he has dysphagie and chokes a lot

I seriously encourage you to talk to your doctor first. I have congestive heart failure and a heart attack. I could not sleep on my back and slept in a chair for many years. I also had a cpap and oxygen. A very scary thing to go through. I am doing great now. I pray that you make the best choice for you. Blessings, JudyTx 🌹

I also sleep in an adjustable bed. We needed a new bed and we figured we’d cover all eventualities.

I have an adjustable bed my son bought me and I love it. It helps on nights when I have trouble breathing because I can adjust to where I need it . I also have the foot adjustable it works well for me. I would recommend it to anyone who has the issues that you are having and it might work well for other situations.

We have had the adjustable beds for 12 years. Best money ever spent. I just purchased a new mattress for it and it’s very easy for him to turn over and get out of bed. He loves it.
