How to Choose an Adjustable Bed
How to Choose an Adjustable Bed
Adjustable beds offer the same features as regular beds, plus the added comfort of electrically adjustable positioning to help you sleep while helping a number of medical conditions. Available in the complete range of standard bed sizes, Twin through Dual King, an adjustable bed looks and feels like a regular, luxury bed.
First, decide on the size. Remember if you share your bed with a partner, the head and foot control will operate both sides of the bed at once unless you choose a “Split Queen or Split King”. Regular fitted sheets work just fine on these beds, and most mattresses are between 10 and 12 inches thick. The height of the bed when in the flat position should be considered, especially if you have a preferred height you need to stay with. Specifications are indicated by the manufacturers for each bed.
Next decide on the features you desire. Some of the most popular features include raising the head and or feet, raising and lowering the entire bed as well as the head and feet (Hi-Lo beds) ultra- low height (Floor Hugger beds) Acid-Reflux beds (angle the foot downwards) and Trendelenburg positioning (to improve circulation).
Then decide on the mattress of your dreams. Much like standard bed mattresses, the sky’s the limit when choosing from an array of luxurious options. Plush quilted tops, resilient high quality Latex foam, shape-conforming memory foam and more are all choices you can make to truly tailor your bed to your personal preferences.
