Bonus!!

I used to go way too long between sheet changing because getting that fitted sheet in guaranteed the back of my hands got even more ugly blood bruises as they hit the sharp corner of the bed frame.  But, my new bed went from PIA to heaven in one LJ comment from kyrielle.  She told me to raise up the foot and head as high as it can go, slip the sheet on and then grab the remote and hit 'flat'.

Seriously, changing the sheets is now amazing.  My hands don't get near the frame.  I don't have to bend over one bit.  And setting the bed back to flat and watching that sheet get taut and wrinkle free just tickles me to bits.  Genius!

Yay! I am so glad my comment was helpful. It took me months - maybe a year - after we got this bed to think of that idea, and I have been so grateful for it ever since!

Clever. The bed companies or dealers should make a big deal about this since it would be a sales feature in addition to making customers' lives easier.

They are absolutely missing a GIANT selling tool here.

That is pretty freaking clever. Damn. I don't even need a bed like that but I would go for it in a hot second just for that feature alone.

Now, you've caught my attention! I might just consider such a bed in the future! :)

Susan, would you mind sharing which adjustable bed you decided on? I tried searching, but didn't see a link in your earlier posts. I recently had a stroke and have been using an adjustable chair, but want to get back to a bed.
Thanks,
Sandy

My word! A stroke? I'm so sorry to hear it. I hope you are doing ok. Wow.

I'm happy to share the bed info.

Here is the actual adjustable base part:

And the mattress (which I really like) is:

You might be able to use your mattress on an adjustable base.

Good luck and check back if you run into questions I might can help with!

That is a fantastic idea. I'm glad it is making your life easier.
