Beds that bring a better lifestyle
CONSIDERING changing your bed? You don’t have to settle for a run-of-the-mill flat mattress and bedstead.
An adjustable bed can be a legitimate choice with numerous advantages, including easing an array of health problems and helping with your sleep.
Raising your head can reduce breathing problems and sleep apnoea at night, as this position allows air to pass through your windpipe more freely for an uninterrupted night’s sleep. What’s more, it can lessen acid reflux and heartburn, keeping acid in your stomach. This can lead to better digestion and sleep.
At the touch of a button, an adjustable
bed will contour to properly support your neck, lower back, legs and ankles.
This relieves pressure on these joints and can be especially helpful for those with a spinal condition such as sciatica or chronic arthritis.
Sleeping in a supported position helps the blood flow and movement of oxygen around the body, which in turn will help you fall asleep faster. And it makes it less likely that you’ll wake up feeling stiff.
Fluid can build up in the legs due to pregnancy, illness, poor circulation or an injury. Lying flat can increase the build-up, leading to increased swelling, pain and sleepless nights.
Experts advise that elevating the legs will help the fluid move more freely to reduce swelling and other problems, such as varicose veins.
What’s more, an adjustable bed can enhance your lifestyle, helping you to sit in perfect comfort while reading, watching television and resting.
Because it can lift you from a lying to a sitting position, getting out of bed becomes easier, as all you need to do is swing your legs around before standing up.
Sleeping partners can benefit, as two motored single beds can be put together to make a double bed (right). So, if each needs a different sleeping position, there’s no problem. This can improve sleep and reduce pressures on a relationship.
