Benefits of Adjustable Beds

Healthy Sleeping

You work hard and deserve to easily recharge with a comfortable bed. Adjustable beds will help you relax and rejuvenate with features that will provide premium comfort and convenience, all while offering impressive health benefits! Take control of your rest and wellness with an adjustable bed.

Eliminate Back Pain

Imagine waking up without back pain—an adjustable bed could make that a reality.

With an adjustable bed, you can achieve a “zero-gravity” semi-seated position, where your feet are elevated to the same level as your heart. This position mimics the weightlessness astronauts experience during takeoff, easing pressure on your spine.

Of course, if you find a position that relieves more pressure from your spine, you can adjust the bed to perfectly fit your needs.

Stop the Snoring

Sleeping with someone who snores, can have a significant impact on your sleep.

With an adjustable bed, you will never have to consider separate rooms for the sake of silence. An adjustable bed allows you to elevate the head, often from five to 10 degrees, to eliminate snoring in either yourself or your partner.

Reduce Acid Reflux

With your head and neck elevated, acid reflux is decreased. Most heartburn sufferers elevate their head and neck with pillows, to halt stomach acid from moving into the esophagus, but that can be uncomfortable.

With an adjustable bed, the surface of your bed will be at a consistent elevation, and you can use pillows for what they’re meant for - comfort.

Improve Circulation

Proper circulation is the foundation of good health, it helps wounds heal faster, reduces swelling, and fuels your body’s organs with blood and oxygen.

When you raise your feet above your heart, blood is pumped more freely throughout the body. If you suffer from swelling, elevation can be imperative in your pursuit of comfort. You can do so so easily with an adjustable bed and get the perfect angle.

Easy Breathing

Nothing is worse than trying to fall asleep when you're having trouble breathing deeply. For those who suffer from asthma or allergies, you know how challenging it can be to take deep breaths on a flatbed.

When on an adjustable bed, you can elevate your torso to take pressure off of your lungs and airway, allowing you to take fuller, deeper breaths and therefore sleep more comfortably.

Premium Relaxation

If you enjoy reading or watching tv before bed, you can do so more comfortably in an adjustable bed.

We all know how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be to perfectly place pillows behind you in an attempt for comfort. They always shift around and slide down behind your head board. 

This can be especially helpful if you are required to spend a lot of time in bed, whether you are on bed rest or experiencing fatigue - whatever the case may be. You can more comfortably practice hobbies, work on a laptop, or use your phone.

In an adjustable bed, you can easily elevate the torso and head of the mattress, eliminating the strain on your head and neck as you relax in the evenings. Your bedroom will feel like the haven it should be.
