 I love my bed, but sometimes getting out of it can be a right struggle, physically I mean. I mean sometimes you wake up and you're a bit stiff, other times you're in a bit of pain because you haven't taken your pain killers, and sometimes you just want to go to the loo in a hurry. I have discovered that a bed leaver can help you with this. It fits underneath the mattress, held on by a strap, and you can get single or double bed sizes. You use the lever to pull yourself into a sitting position, then you use it to support yourself while you swing your legs out. Then you use it as a leverage to stand up, like so. I've also been advised not to get up too quickly, to do it slowly and steadily to avoid getting dizzy or falling over. My, this is a comfy bed.
