It's nice to have an adjustable bed. Craftmatic beds are expensive . If its a king size bed, its hard to do your care without a ceiling lift. Our solution was this: We bought an extra hospital bed from Invacare $695. Don't buy the rails. We took off the rails on my bed. We have matching beds with matching mattresses. The beds are the same height. The height I need for my lift. We push the beds and mattresses together at night and lock the wheels. We open the beds up for my care. Plus, when we have company we throw a nice cal-king size comforter set over the beds. It looks like a normal king size bed. As far as hospital clutter, I put an extra chest and drawer in the room. Drawers hide the clutter better than shelves. Sean c4 17 yrs post In a message dated 12/8/2007 7:23:32 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

But it may make it hard to do his care too. If you had two beds side by side...then they can be seperated to do the necessary care.

Have you considered one of those expensive comfort number beds with the dual controls. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/8/2007 8:04:28 P.M.

But it would be nice if we had matching beds...even a second bed that could raise to the same level as his. I love to hear him breath and just to be able to touch him. Sleeping with him makes it hard for him. It causes him to have spasms every time I move and it wakes him up. Would be nice just to be near him. Maybe I can convince him to remodel.
