I have the same problem. If you find one, I would appreciate the name also. Smooth sheets help but turning over is a chore...Gramfor4 - Kathy

I have an adjustable bed but before that I was unable to even sleep in bed (slept in recliner for six years) because I could not move enough to change position and would panic feeling as though I was going to suffocate. With the adjustable bed I can raise my head so I don't have the suffocation feeling. I am still unable to change my position so I have to get over into the bed as far as I can because that is where I'll stay. I was always a side sleeper but am unable to turn onto my side.

I LOVE the Saatva adjustable bed ( available online in all sizes). It even has a nightlight which runs around the perimeter of the bed! It also has a ledge which goes around the base of he bed which makes getting dressed much easier. O
You can purchase one of their mattresses or use your own with their frame. I use the Serta iComfort king mattress with the Saatva frame. Excellent customer service and return/ exchange policy. I have taken to not wearing the bottoms of my pj’s at bedtime as easier to get into be and move around on the sheets. I like Brooklinen sheets ( also available online).

I found sleep number the best as I can adjust the firmness based on my day. It's a little pricey but worth it.
