Got a question for any Monster garage type thinkers out there. I want to build a way to raise and lower the head of my bed automatically. The trick is, the entire frame needs to be elevated, not just the matress head. All those craftmatic adjustable beds all can elevate the head, but bed in the middle of the matress to do so, meaning that if you want to sleep with an elevated head, you need to sleep on your back.
I've got heartburn problems that require me to elevate the head of my bed, but I can only fall asleep on my stomach, so the craftmatc-types wont work. I've been using blocks under the bed frame to elevate the head of the entire frame, but I'd prefer something that would be automatically adjustable, possibly with a handlheld controller of some sort.
I'd also prefer whatever motor to be quiet.
Anybody have any ideas on something I could jury-rig to work? I'm mostly concerned with the motor at this point. I'm pretty handy with electronics, but I don't know much about a motor/assembly system that could lift a bed reliably and quietly. Any thoughts?
