Sleeping in a recliner is actually a tip that comes up among MySpondylitisTeam members, especially for those who struggle to get comfortable in a regular bed due to spinal changes like kyphosis.

For some, a recliner can help by:

- Reducing pressure on the spine
- Allowing a semi-upright position that eases back pain
