John, it grieves me to tell you we paid good money to have a fully adjustable, electrically-powered hospital bed taken away a few months back - it was in America though so would have cost you more to get it shipped here than to buy new.
My aunt had a muscle-wasting disease, so worked her way through a long list of assisted appliances. It seemed she was forever 'upgrading' to a new one and being disappointed that it wasn't as good as the one she had before. So while it's difficult to give you specific advice, what I would say is do your very best to identify exactly what you want it to do - conduct experiments with boards or cushions or whatever it takes to get the posture just right. You will then be well-armed to ask the vendor specifically "will it tilt to X degrees?, is it height adjustable between 18 & 24 inches?", etc etc and you'll have at least some confidence that your money won't be wasted. Don't just go shopping for an "adjustable bed" without a clear idea of what you want from it.
