We used to have a big foam wedge to help with acid reflux, and a little foam wedge for when my shoulder hurt and 3 pillows stacked behind me for when I wanted to sit up in bed, this replaces all of that. And if my husband finds himself sitting up in bed before he's fully awake, that's a bonus. Also the massage function is great for lower back pain.
Very first night, I slept 3 full hours with out moving, no need to turn over because of sore hips. Only had to get up once for bathroom issues. Second night I slept 5 hours without moving. No more sore hips or shoulders. Best sleep I've had in years.
The ergo base has been a lifesaver! I have back problems and cannot lay completely flat. Being able to raise my head instead of trying to prop myself up with pillows has allowed me to get a good night’s sleep. I am so glad I made this purchase!
I ordered this while recovering from spinal fusion and shoulder surgery. Both of those things make it very hard to get in or out of bed or even just be comfortable. Having this bed definitely changed that and really helped my recovery.
