We purchased this item to help me better handle my reflux condition at night. Being able to tilt the bed has allowed me to stay in bed all night, rather than needing to transition to the recliner when my reflux acts up! I'm so thankful for the ability to raise both my upper body and my legs. I am able to get comfortable to sleep through the night. We are so thankful we decided to invest in this item! It truly is an excellent product!
