I was just thinking about getting an electric bed.  My friend got one about a month ago. It was recommended by her doctor because she is having problems sleeping and has restless leg syndrome.  Her legs tingle and it’s very annoying, but with the electric bed, she can raise her feet and still feel comfortable.  She said that it seems to support her back and shoulders much better then her firm pillow top mattress and box spring ever did.   Her model has a built in massage option and heat, as well.  Her doctor told her that the reason these beds work so well, is that they help increase circulation, and take away any stress points that might be aggravating your neck, shoulders, hips or spine.  You can move the bed into hundreds of comfortable positions, and she is finally getting the rest she needs.
