A Bed Backrest

[pattylusk]

Ordered the blue backrest and pillow and cover.The 5 star rating said very easy to use but you need a board behind it or sit on a towel so it doesn`t slip. Maybe i can breath without sitting up all night. If it works maybe someone else will want it.

You can have the wall behind it as well. I have used a back rest for years on various different bed. Currently it is up against the wall. I personally find I start off sat up against it but slidden down it by morning.

I have mine propped up against the wall for the same reason. I can't lie down without getting bile reflux since my op and I thought it might help but it hasn't. I just kept slipping down and I daren't risk getting bile in my lungs.

hi patty im same cant breath lay flat, I tried extra pillows and everything nothing worked. then I got an assessment from occupational therapy, and I got an elevator thing that goes under mattress and you raise it to how you feel comfortable. if you haven't seen an occupational therapist ask your gp.

hope you find it helps your breathing, we have an adjustable bed and found it so much better for breathing .

I use an adjustable bed & it makes such a difference to comfort and breathing when unwell.

I am lucky that I have a headboard so my bed rest is propped up to that.

I have treated my self to an electric adjustable bed - only £625 and 5 year guarantee from a company that usually does chairs and it is fantastic can raise my chest and my feet and with the memory foam feel I am being cradled - would thoroughly recommend - good luck with you board - take care xx
