Most would suggest the bed be firm enough to provide the support needed both for comfort as well as for being able to move without sinking down into it. My suggestion would be to go to a mattress store and try out several styles and brands. More would suggest, however, that it is the sheets that are used that make the difference. Many PWPs find that satin or satin-like sheets combined with satin PJs are "slippery" enough so that the PWP can turn over or slide out of bed more easily. Yet others prefer air-mattresses so that you can adjust your own comfort level. ----- Original Message ----- From: George Person <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 4:25 AM Subject: Beds & PD > I have a question regarding the relationship between PD and choosing the > right bed.
