Long time before Cal’s Parkinson’s diagnosis we had settled on Sleep Number Bed because we could not agree on mattress firmness of other beds. With a Sleep Number bed, we could each adjust our side of our bed for comfort
Cal initially wanted me to replace our bed with a hospital bed. This was after he had had to have surgery, in March of 2016, for a condition called Achalasia, a condition that may or may not have anything to do with Parkinson’s. I will cover that situation in more detail later. After his surgery he needed the head of the bed to be raised while sleeping. Hospital beds don’t work well for cuddling so we settled on a different option.
Our replacement bed choice was a Split Queen it didn’t work for us. This bed raises the head of the bed on both sides of the bed to the same height. This just didn’t work for me I can’t sleep comfortably with the bed raised as high as Cal needed.
We exchanged it for a Sleep Number Split King, both sides of the head of the bed worked independently, which worked much better for us.
