A comfortable bed

The comfort or lack of, our regular bed at home leaves much to be desired, despite being an extremely high quality orthopaedic mattress. As the Parkinson's progresses, and with the additional problems of Gaucher, my sleep is far from restful or comfortable, and moving positions in bed or getting up unaided is becoming increasingly difficult. Having flown recently for a family wedding and speaking engagement - experiencing the comfort of the electric adjustable seats in business class, made me start to think what we could do to improve my quality and comfort of sleeping at home in our own bed. This prompted in-depth research into electronic/adjustable beds. The price range and different variations on offer are vast, from the extremely expensive with a wide array of possible positions - to the simple version and less expensive, but equally effective. Although each mattress of a double bed has to naturally be separate enabling each person to individually adjust their side of the bed to a suitable position, the two mattresses are in fact held together within a frame ensuring that the bed functions as a double bed, especially for those who still like to snuggle up or spoon! There are many companies making such beds, and searching on the Internet, you're sure to find a company in your area. Although this is an expensive purchase, I believe it is money well spent.
