can you elevate the bed?

[lsket]

My wife has acid reflux and needs to sleep with the head of the bed elevated. MS suggested I contact housekeeping. Has anyone done this?

I like to sleep with my head elevated due to back problems, I usually just prop up several pillows and it seems to work for me. You might also try putting something under the mattress such as the cushions from the sofa. I don't know if housekeeping will have any better suggestions, perhaps they have had similiar requests in the past.

Some of the sleeper sofas have non-removable cushions.

Most of the beds are on a platform so unless you place something under the mattress or use extra pillows I don't see how you could raise the bed. BTW, I've never checked to see if you could raise the mattress so I don't know if you can.

The WDW area yellow pages are huge. See if housekeeping will bring you an extra or two & put them under the mattress at the head of the bed.

Maybe a foam wedge that you would get from a handicap equipment supply company. You could probably find one on line. I have also read that WDW does have egg crate matresses that they supply at times....but I would call the resort and ask first (you could maybe fold it under the mattress for support)...especially if you are flying and are trying to avoid carrying something on the plane. Could her doctor give her some extra medication too for the trip?

You can ask for several pillows and put them between the box springs and top mattress. It works wonders. I do this at home as I suffer from GERD/ARD.

I need the same thing, and I usually take the extra pillows and put them under the mattress at the head of the bed....it works just fine.
