Hi,
I've been using a wedge pillow since my ivor-lewis surgery last year but it's getting on my nerves, I keep sliding down it throughout the night and keep having to shuffle back up it. I was considering getting an adjustable bed and was hoping someone could share their experience and if it helped them?
I was also wondering if anyone knows if I might be eligible to claim VAT relief when buying one?
Kind regards,
Chris
Hi
I haven't used a wedge pillow or an adjustable bed so don't have any experience to share with you. However, I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses yet and by replying to you it will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussions list where it'll hopefully be more easily spotted.
While you're waiting for replies you could, if you haven't already, use the search facility in the group. If you type in 'adjustable bed' you'll find quite a few posts come up. You could have a read through those and respond to any of the more recent ones if you want to ask the poster any questions.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
