Buying An Adjustable Bed - What To Look For - What To Avoid


When shopping for an adjustable bed, there are many features available to choose from. Some features such as battery backup and wired hand control, should be standard.


Buying An Adjustable Bed


In recent years, the adjustable bed has transitioned from the health care industry to the home and millions of users are reaping the benefits. Prices for high quality adjustable beds rival those of their traditional counterparts and offer many more benefits. There are a variety of reasons to purchase an adjustable bed. The ability to independently raise the legs into a 30-45 degree angle, also known as the semi-fowler position, can often reduce stress in the lower back and improve circulation in the extremities. Many people just appreciate the ability to raise the mattress into a reclining position for watching T.V. or reading.


Adjustable beds are available in the same sizes as traditional beds with the exception of the king sizes. Rather than a single king size mattress, adjustable beds utilize two twin mattresses side by side to allow independent control for each of the users. This type of bed is also referred to as a dual king and is typically the most popular choice for those that share a bed with a spouse.


When shopping for an adjustable bed, there are many features available to choose from. Some features such as battery backup and wired hand control, should be standard. Added features such as wireless controls and heat and massage can typically be added for an additional charge. You can also purchase safety rails and risers to aid in care giving.


Once you have decided on the proper mattress and base, consider adding a topper made of Visco memory foam for additional comfort and support. Foam toppers made with Visco memory foam have the ability to conform to the curves of the body and allow pressure to be evenly distributed across your side and back rather than on the shoulders, hips, and knees. Toppers also provide a more breathable surface than traditional mattress pads and are well worth the extra money up front.


Many customers often consider purchasing a used bed from a friend or neighbor or from a site such as Ebay. As a rule, stay away from used beds and bases. The technology and materials have improved drastically over the last several years and chances are, a used bed will be inferior to a current model. Do not risk inheriting someone else's problem to save a few dollars. You also have to consider the shipping and set up of a used purchase. Adjustable beds are quite heavy and require, at minimum, two people to deliver and set up. Most on line providers of adjustable beds include delivery and set up in the cost of the bed.


Keep these suggestions in mind and you will be sleeping comfortably and worry free in your new adjustable bed.
