Adjustable Beds

Electric adjustable beds help empower people with comfort issues by enabling them to take control of the shape of their sleeping environment.

With a button press, you can adjust the bed to suit your preferred position: lying flat, sitting up, or elevating your legs. Discovering a comfortable position for pain relief is simple, and you have control over the effort needed to get in and out of bed.

There are two main categories available on the market: lifestyle beds and profiling beds.

• Lifestyle beds tend to be aimed at those who are looking for an adjustable bed for comfort and luxury, rather than healthcare reasons. Perfect for those who spend long periods in bed, an adjustable bed with a ‘sit up’ function can help prevent long term neck and back pain, whilst providing comfort as you watch television or read in bed.

• Profiling beds offer an ideal sleeping solution for those suffering with health issues and ailments such as circulatory problems, emphysema, asthma, arthritis, bronchitis, rheumatism. At the touch of a button, you can achieve a comfortable sleeping position ensuring you have the best night’s sleep possible. When waking refreshed the next morning, you can adjust your position to make getting in and out of bed easier.

Returning home from a long stay in a hospital bed can be made better too. A mobility bed can help former patients maintain the smooth operation of manoeuvring themselves into a sleeping position.

While providing all the benefits of a hospital bed, unlike in previous years, adjustable electric beds no longer need to look like them. This means you don’t need to sacrifice style for practicality, and can decorate your bedroom with an adjustable bed from a range of colours, styles, or any contemporary look that suits your tastes.

Adjustable beds for all

Many sleepers benefit from sleeping on an adjustable bed including:

People With Disabilities

Spending lots of time in bed is the reality for many people with certain kinds of disabilities. Adjustable beds ease discomfort from long periods of rest by letting users change positions when they feel uncomfortable.

Being able to improve circulation in this way is a real boon to those who are in bed for these extended periods.

Elderly People

For many, growing older can lead to weak or stiffening muscles, which can make getting in and out of bed harder. By raising part of the bed into a sitting position, an adjustable bed can make getting in and out easier. Users can effortlessly slide onto the bed and sit up to swing their legs to the side when getting off.

The slight incline offered by this type of bed encourages pressure point relief thanks to elevating the knees, helping support the user's natural spine curvature.

Everyone Wanting Better Rest

In addition to addressing medical needs, adjustable beds serve as valuable additions to bedrooms where individuals spend time reading, watching TV, writing, or enjoying breakfast in bed. Anyone who sits up in bed for a prolonged period is advised to invest in a quality adjustable to prevent long-term neck, back, and shoulder stiffening and pain.

Useful information:

Not all mattresses are compatible with adjustable beds. If you're looking for just an adjustable bed mattress, rather than an adjustable bed base, we have a wide range to help you get a good night's sleep and wake feeling refreshed. The movement of the bed can easily damage a regular mattress and make it uncomfortable to sleep on, so using the correct type is essential for getting the most out of your investment.
