    Hello. I am having issues with my bed. I can't sleep anymore.

    Is there any help I can get around Wrexham.

    My wife(carer) puts up with me daily. We need help.

    HI @Seannymac and welcome to the community.

    Just to let you know, I've made your question into a new discussion so it doesn't cause any confusion. I hope that's ok?

    Sorry to hear you've not been sleeping well on your current bed. Have you looked into local grants which may help with costs?
