is great. Also if you eat in bed having the ability to raise the head of the bed is important. If you need changing by someone too a soaker bad and single sized hospital bed will put you at the right height so your caregiver will not hurt their back. Think of a hospital bed as a series of solved problems. But if you don't need one i would hold off. They are always creating new tech. Do you use poles to help you get up and out of bed?
