Local inventor creates head-elevating bed

By Dana Shapiro

     The head of the bed elevates with the simple touch of a button--there is no bending at the waist, reducing the cause of pressure in the abdomen.

     "It is another option that we have to offer our patients," said Dr. Brad Bomba, Jr., a local doctor at Internal Medicine Associates whom Harrell consulted while developing her idea.

     "It's a great idea, a great concept," Bomba said. "And it will work for patients.". . . . . .

     Joyce Harrell said she looks beyond profit and realizes she helps improve the quality of life for those who share her disease.

     "Helping people (and) seeing them get a product that really helps them is the best part," Harrell said.

Sleepcliner™ Bed Elevating System
Offers a Good Night's Rest for GERD Sufferers


BLOOMINGTON, IN. The revolutionary new treatment for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) doesn't come in a pill. You don't need a prescription for it – in fact, you can't even buy it in stores. What's the treatment? Sleep. Restful, healing sleep. "Doctors have known since antiquity that a good night's sleep is the best medicine," says Dr. Brad Bomba, Jr., "but for people who suffer from GERD and many other ailments, sleep is hard to come by. And without a good night's sleep, a patient's overall health deteriorates."

For years, doctors have recommended patients elevate the head of their bed to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of GERD, acid reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, congestive heart failure, emphysema, hiatal hernia, sleep apnea and snoring. Before the Sleepcliner™ bed elevating system, the only alternative was to place blocks under the head of the bed.
