My landlord  set this up for me yesterday. I am disabled and have been having difficulty getting out of bed. I bought this in hopes of rectifying the problem. The first time I used it I had hardly any difficulty getting out of bed but through the night I found it more difficult. As with anything, I know there's a "learning curve" and I hope in time I'll figure it out. Regardless, I love being able to raise my head to sleep and know that watching t.v will be more pleasurable in a seated position. It, topped with my new mattress made my sleeping experience pleasurable.
