I've never had an adjustable bed but I find a good mattress essential. My last two have been mostly double sprung with about 1"- 2" of memory foam at the top.
I would say, if at all possible, try before you buy. I wonder if your local Occupational Therapist could advise.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

In my experience of adjustable beds the mattresses are thin and uncomfortable, I think they have to be thin to bend with the bed. I like playing with them for a couple of nights but they are not a long-term option. I have a very heavy and thick all-natural mattress from John Lewis which I 'adjust' with Tempur pillows to support whichever bits are playing up the most, that works for me.

Hi Dankel
I LOVE our Capricorn adjustable bed and mattress. The mattress is 7 " deep
We bought it from Dreams several years ago.
Unique Visco-Elastic-Memory Foam
Contour to the shape of your body
Electrically Adjustable head, back and foot
Adjustable slats for softer or firmer feel
No need to turn mattress
Optional massage unit availableThe happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
I love my adjustable bed. It gets my legs up to the desired height as well as my knees up which helps my back. I went to my local bed store and they had one in.i don't think you need to spend all that money on so called specialists. Have a good look around.

I wish to thank everyone who contributed. It is good to have somewhere to turn for help.

Personally I wouldn't go near a memory foam mattress, you end up very hot, each to their own! A ordinary firm mattress works for us.
I seem to remember we had this topic come up a while back so some searching will bring you more results.0
