What Is An Electric Adjustable Bed?
In technical speak an adjustable bed, sometimes referred to simply as an electric bed, is a platform for lying down that has multiple hinges allowing it to tilt in favour of either the upper body, or lower part of the sleeper. This customisation permits the user to pitch the mattress at the elevation best suited to their comfort. Although there are exceptions, as standard these beds feature electric motors and are operated by a wired or infrared handset that affords sleepers to make changes without leaving the bed.
Is it healthy to sleep on an adjustable bed?
Yes, it can be a healthier option for some. Adjustable beds can help improve posture and relieve aches and stresses on the body which leads to pain reduction and better overall health. While it may not be a cure for insomnia, if you are struggling to sleep because of comfort issues then the multiple positions offered by an alterable bed could fix the matter and lead to more refreshing rest.
Can you put any mattress on an adjustable bed frame?
Although possible, you probably shouldn't. While some mattresses may fit well on top of an adjustable frame, it is inadvisable to do so as it won’t have been designed to cope with the stresses of position shifting. Some non-purposely made memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses can fare well for a time, but ultimately aren’t really up to the job.
Can side sleepers use adjustable beds?
Yes. Of largest benefit to back sleepers, adjustable beds are also great for side sleepers, as long as they adequately change the position of the bed to one suitable to their sleeping style. Although the positives for stomach sleepers are fewer during sleep, the ability to adjust it for spending waking hours in bed are still all valid.
Do adjustable beds break easily?
No. Adjustable beds generally consist of quite robust frames, although the use of incompatible mattresses can sometimes speed up the natural wear and tear time.
