Either a single or a double adjustable bed has a huge range of health benefits; no longer confined to hospitals, adjustable beds are making their way into our homes. Here are some of the benefits of having an adjustable bed in your bedroom at home.
Further independence & enhanced lifestyle
For those who suffer with impaired mobility, it can be a daily struggle to get in and out of bed. Being able to raise one end of the mattress can provide the necessary support for standing up or lying down in the bed without extra help, giving them the necessary confidence to go about the daily task. Whether you need to stay in bed to rest and recuperate, or you like to do some reading before you sleep; finding a comfortable position can be difficult. An adjustable bed turns into a smooth recliner with ease, increasing comfort and taking away unnecessary back, neck and shoulder pain.
Lessen acid reflux and heartburn
It’s a common myth that you need to eat directly before sleeping to suffer from acid reflux or heartburn – it can happen even hours after food consumption. Lying flat on your back to sleep allows an easy path for stomach acid to move up the oesophagus – raising the head and neck are whilst sleeping can help to keep stomach acid in its rightful place. This will give better digestion and a much better night’s sleep.
Relieve arthritis and chronic pain
Sleeping on a traditional mattress makes it too easy to put unwarranted pressure on your joints and the resulting pain is magnified for those who suffer with arthritis and chronic pain. With a helpful adjustable bed, it is easy to find the correct position to fall asleep in and to stay comfortable in throughout the night and to ease pain during the day. The option to raise the bed comes in handy in the mornings, as raising and lowering the mattress beneath the legs can stimulate blood flow.
Alleviate sleep apnea
The medical condition sleep apnea can be made worse by sleeping on a traditional mattress; using an elevated mattress to raise the head takes weight off the windpipe which allows for better airflow whilst in the lying down position.
Enhance circulation
Whilst we sleep, our blood pressure drops naturally, but you can aid this process by setting up your bed frame to further reduce pressure. Certain positions can help to enhance blood and oxygen flow for those with circulatory issues.
Lighten leg swelling
Whether you’re suffering from a leg injury, are ill or pregnant, or just working on your feet all day; it is always best to keep your legs elevated to prevent swelling. When your legs lie level it can cause more pain, but with an adjustable bed it is easy to keep your legs elevated without having to worry.
Adjustable beds are a wonderful investment that will make life easier for those with and without mobility issues. Sleep in comfort and style with an adjustable bed.
