I bought an electric bed for my new home, the kind of bed you can find in hospitals with an engine to raise the head or your legs. That's pretty expensive but the end-result is way above my expectations.

Being in Japan, I realized that futons were definitely not adapted to my body, especially the curving of my back so I started to experiment different positions adding books under my legs, my knees, my head and I found a pattern similar to what you have in a hammock or a cocoon but with knees a bit upper to do not stretch your muscles. This way I was able to lay on my back without any pain.

Back in France, I found the bed of my dreams, well… literally, for two people with two mattresses which is very important because we end up not using the same level of elevation. We're using it for a month now and she changed her mind from "Yet another useless geeky gadget" to "This is the best thing you bought EVER! <3". My best reward :-)

When you put in perspective the time you spend in a bed plus the pain you suffer for a few hours after being out of your bed, you don't ever look (at your) back. Bonus: in recovery mode or for a little nap, having your legs above your body is very comfortable. Bonus 2: I spend way more time reading from my bed given the suitable position I can have.
