It’s still a bed,but it’s a hospital bed and the motor that raises my head went kaputt. So it’s back to having a stack of pillows under my shoulders and head (acid reflux)…☹ It’s always something… Now if I can just find the papers… Yeah,like that’s gonna happen.:smack: ---

If all else fails, you might look into [this](https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=adjustable%20bed%20frame%20for%20acid%20reflux): My wife bought one for our king size bed and it kicks ass. Just a few inches incline but it makes a world of difference. PM me if you need any more info. ---

Oh crap. I feel your pain. Is there any way to lift it into reclining position? Even temporarily?
