I'm 48 yr old man and suffer from gastric reflux.
Elevating my bed head by say 10: helps a lot
Problems with this are that at end of night I've slid down mattress and mattress has slid down box springs
Everything has to be "pulled" back up in AM.
I'm not a wood worker but have always like Japanese style Zen like furniture. Very rich woods very simple designs and low to floor
see link
It would be better if head can be adjusted to various heights
Id also use an air mattress or foam mattress on frame
Would also be nice if entire thing can be easily taken apart such as for a college student who may move furniture twice yearly.... to school in fall and to home in spring.
Advice?
