Thanks all for your contributions to above subject.

I think I will just sleep with one extra pillow.

Love this forum, it's like a family except this family is really interested in you and your health.

Love Jean

Jean, I bought an adjustable bed and it's made a world of difference for me since I can just raise the head of the bed.  Well worth the investment!

Do you know what Donna I was recently considering getting one. I might look around for one.

They are pretty pricey tho' aren't they. Anyway you can't put a price on a good night's sleep can you.

Shall let you know,

Jean

Dad, 88yrs, recently diagnosed with AF. Further tests pending for more detailed heart info. But he has an electric bed and I suggested he raised the head up a bit as I know that for suspected heart attack sitting up is the action to take. Also seemed like his breathlessness was in bed. Reports he is comfortable and sleeping well. Fingers crossed!
