Many people know about adjustable beds, but they believe that they are for hospitals or older people. This is not the case. Adjustable bed frames are a modern sleep upgrade for anyone. Adjustable bed frames are now available in stylish bed frames and are far more accessible than they used to be.
In this article we will look at how adjustable bed frames work, who they suit and whether adjustable bed frames are worth it.
What Is an Adjustable Bed?
Electric adjustable bed frames are bed frames that have a motorised base enabling the individual using them to raise or lower their head and feet independently. This function is usually controlled by a remote or handset.
One adjustable bed option is single motor adjustable bed frames, this is where the head is the only part of the bed that can move. Another option is dual motor, with this adjustable bed you can move the head and feet independently.
Please note: Not all mattresses are compatible with adjustable beds, so when you are purchasing a mattress for adjustable beds it is important to ensure that it is compatible. Compatible mattresses must be flexible. These include memory foam, hybrid or specific pocket spring mattresses.
Adjustable bed frames are available in multiple sizes such as singles, doubles and split options. These are ideal for couples.
What Are The Key Adjustable Bed Benefits?
You might be asking yourself why would I want an adjustable bed? There are many adjustable bed benefits. Key adjustable bed features include the ability to elevate your head or legs, reducing strain on your lower back and taking pressure off your joints. This is a great solution for individuals with arthritis, sciatica or general aches and pains.
Adjustable bed features can help with health conditions. When you raise your head you can reduce acid reflux, snoring and breathing issues. Elevating your legs can help with circulation and swelling.
Beyond health, adjustable bed features also offer comfort benefits. Adjustable beds provide ease with watching TV, reading or working in bed. Rather than having to prop up pillows and lean on them, you have your mattress behind your head supporting you.
There are even options for couples who want different beds why not opt for a dual motor adjustable bed. This allows each person to independently move their side of the bed without affecting the other person.
Are Adjustable Bed Frames Worth It?
They are a bigger investment than a traditional bed, but with a usual lifespan of 15 years, this makes the cost pretty reasonable when you look at cost-per-year. As well as this, you may be eligible for VAT relief. This can reduce the price of the bed by 20%. Find out more about the eligibility for VAT relief on the government website.
So are adjustable bed frames worth it for everyone? Not necessarily. If you don’t suffer from additional pains or support needs, a high-quality standard bed would be more than suitable. Are adjustable bed frames worth it if you sleep on your side? Probably not, due to how they move they don’t tend to suit side sleepers. But adjustable beds are worth it for people with health conditions or comfort requirements.
