need help please I am disabled with C.O.P.D on 20 hours + oxygen in 24 hours with a sleep apnea machine attached to my oxygen throughout the night I have white but I slip down I have back rest special pillows wedges but still I slip I should sleep upright so my best option is to get a double adjustable bed . Where is the best place to apply for either a grant towards an adjustable bed for disabled people

I also have angina arthritis plus all the aches and pains that go with these I also have a slow growing brain tumour which I’ve had for over 6 years I am 74 years young

The reason being I now need a new adjustable bed is apart from above is that my double bed as collapsed

I cannot get the draws open that have my bedding storage because the just does not align correctly

I would really need an adjustable bed that has storage for my bedding plus a massaging mattress etc

I need to get either help or a grant (or even free ) towards an adjustable double bed for my needs I really would like if possible a bed that looks like a normal double bed

Not a hospital bed I spent enough time in hospital beds

Can anyone put me in the right direction please 🙏
