You can tilt it back to where it's level. Remove cushions and open the bed up. On the bottom of the couch inside each side piece there are five screws in a metal plate. I think they are #2 square drive. Remove the screws from both sides. Use a block of wood or any type of shim under the front of the couch (frame not bed) and raise it as far as it will go. Reinstall the screws on each side, remove shim and put it back together. Mine raised about 1 1\2 inches which made it more comfortable.
