Electric Adjustable Beds Review

Adjustable beds are beds where you can adjust both the upper and lower body of the bed independently of each other. To most people adjustable beds mean being able to relax and watch late night TV, when in fact many are bought to make sleep more comfortable, or for a number of medical reasons.

As you are obviously considering this type of bed ask yourself some simple questions.

1. Do you suffer from osteoarthritis of the spine, gastric reflux, back problems, circulatory problems?
2. Do you have a problem getting out of bed?
3. Do you sleep better with three or four pillows or on the settee?
4. Do you find you can't sleep flat on your back?
5. Is your back, neck or shoulders stiff in the morning?
6. Would you find heat or massage helpful and soothing?

Which Electric Adjustable Bed would be best for you?

You will be faced with a number of options, so take the time to read about the different types, and do as much investigation online as you can before visiting a store.
All of these type of beds have the same basic frame design or use the same working principles. You can of course have a number of accessories such as wireless remote controls, massage, and heat, but what makes the beds different are the mattresses, and so when you think you know what you want, it is very important that you go and lie on the mattress. Please don't think you only need to do this for a minute, get your shoes off, and test them out for a good length of time, and don't let the sales person harrass you, or try to hurry you. We all spend as a minimum around one third of our lives in bed, so this is a big decision you are making, and one that could cost you a lot more than money.

The following three mattresses are all suitable for electric adjustable beds, and need checking out.

1. The Coil Spring Mattress

This is very similar to the well known coil spring mattress for a traditional flat bed, but it is a lot more flexible so that it fits with the adjustable bed frames.
Another good thing about coil spring mattresses is that there are a number of mattress firmness options.

There are all the usual accessories available such as massage, heat, wireless remote controls. You can select memory foam tops, and pillow tops.

Coil Spring Mattress Beds have only two problems. The first is variable quality, and the second is the coils can become pressure points and not help people with circulatory problems, and this tends to worsen after prolonged use over a number of years.

2. Memory Foam Mattress

They are increasingly popular because they are able to mould themselves to the shape of the body and particularly the spine. This happens because of body heat affecting the memory foam, and as a consequence there are no pressure points, so there is no doubt this alleviates a number of medical conditions.
Another great feature is that foam mattresses have firmness and compression ratings which are standard throughout the industry. What this means is that comparison between manufacturers' mattresses is easy. Therefore by going to a store and trying several models you can find which firmness and quality suits and then compare prices

You will find two different types of adjustable bed foam mattresses to choose from. The first is natural latex-based, and the other other is man-made. They both have good selling points, with the natural latex being hypo allergenic and resistant to mould, with no possibility of bed mites, and it is a totally natural product. The man-made does not use toxic chemicals and there is no chance of an allergic response.
They will take a bit of getting used to and are more expensive than the coil spring. It is found that those who try a memory foam bed never go back to a coil spring, which has to tell you something.

3. Adjustable Air Beds

Having an air mattress in your adjustable electric bed is a different thing altogether. This is a mattress were you can choose your firmness level, and then change it if and when you want.

An adjustable air bed mattress also can have wireless remote control ability, and for those who have different comfort needs you can have different firmness settings on each half of a mattress.

You need to know that not all adjustable air bed mattresses work with every electrical adjustable bed. In addition they are not all that easy to get used to, but most manufacturers will give you what amounts to a trial period in addition to the normal warranty. You also need to know that this type of mattress is frequently used in hospitals, but the hospital quality is still superior to the quality in the store.

At the end of the day choosing an electrical adjustable bed is really little different from any other bed. Comfort is a number one priority,, followed by ensuring your good health but in addition you need to prioritise the type of adjustable mattress that fits in with your lifestyle, after all this type of bed can turn a bedroom into a relaxation room that can be used for play as well as sleep.
