Hi Ranger10.

I prop myself up on pillows - put first one down as normal, then 2 more on top at an angle, then 2 more on top of that. So I am half sitting up supported by the pillows. It's not ideal but I can't lie down anyway when very wheezy. I learnt it from my hospital days - think it was known as a 'hospital chair'.

Invest in a beanbag!! They are amazing, you can get comfy while being upright and you can actually get to sleep!

thank you so much for all your replys
