You could try sleeping on an Inclined Bed.
(Inclined Bed Therapy)
You just raise the head about 6 inches with blocks so that you whole body is on a slight angle.
We have been doing it for a few weeks now and it makes a HUGE difference for circulation of fluids -- water and blood.
I have seen less swelling in my feet, and I have heard amazing stories of how it helps severe edema.
It's free and simple and certainly can't hurt to try.
The most comfortable bed I ever slept in was during my latest hospital stay. There was a position to incline the head, but also the feet with knees bent. I came home with ankles. Actual, real ankles where you could see the little bones and tendons. LOL I want one of those beds. Until then, I might have to do the block thing you suggested here, because I'm sure there is much merit to this.
