Adjustable Bed Information
Humans spend about eight hours a day sleeping on average, if
they can find the time. That means over the course of one week,
humans sleep 56 hours. Over the course of a year that means humans
sleep 2,912 hours, and in a typical lifespan of 80 years, that
amounts to 232,960 hours of sleep.
Put another way, it means people spend 26 years of their life
sleeping. If we spend one-quarter of our life sleeping, then we
need to make sure we sleep somewhere that is comfortable to our
bodies, and our minds.
One way that this can happen is electric adjustable beds. An
electric adjustable bed has the ability to provide a nightly tune-up
to the body so that when you wake up the next day, you feel excellent
and are ready to tackle another day. Studies have found that those
who get good night sleeps have much higher productivity, improved
cognitive skills and a general feeling of wellness that is higher
than those who do not sleep well. Hence, adjustable beds are now
being bought more and more by consumers, where they were once
bought on a regular basis by hospitals and care homes.
Adjustable beds can be moved into a range of positions to suit
the requirements of the user. If you have a medical condition
or sleep disorder that requires you to sleep in certain positions
then an adjustable bed may help you.
Adjustable beds can also be used by those who are temporarily
or permanently bed-ridden to improve sleep and comfort. Even those
without medical needs can benefit from an adjustable bed by enjoying
a better night's sleep..
Adjustable beds are designed to assist in not only medical conditions
but also offer comfortable every day use, such as sleeping, reading
or watching TV, and assist in getting in and outr of the bed.
They are generally easy to operate through use of a hand controller
that allows the user to adjust the bed into various positions.
Some adjustable bed models can offer additional features such
as massage therapy and heat.
Relief from a range of medical conditions.
One of the most common ailments in the UK is back pain with
over 49% of the population suffering some form of back pain during
their lives. Whether caused by stress, accidents, bad posture,
or by lifting something heavy, back pain ranks as one of most
commonly reported conditions in the UK. An adjustable bed can
help to reduce pain in the lower back and other discomfort associated
with back injuries. For some people with chronic back pain, the
use of a Recliner Chair may
be called for, and in some cases where there are mobility problems
other products such as an electric stair lift may also be needed.
There may be several health benefits from mobility beds. They
may ease swelling of the legs or edema and ease back pain. They
may relieve soreness of the body and sooth neck and shoulder tension.
They may also offset acid reflux and night time heartburn. They
may provide relief for certain parts of the body such as the neck,
the spine and the knees.
Adjustable beds can be adjusted into a comfortable position as
per the sleeper's requirements. They can be made very comfortable
for reading or for watching TV in bed. As the bed can be moulded
according to the person's body structure, they can provide upmost
comfort and relaxation. They may also aid in getting out of bed.
Buying an electric adjustable bed is very important to people
who suffer from indigestion, arthritis, back pain and more. They
will be able to relax and before they know it, their pains will
disappear, making them feel better and healthier. For most people,
that is well-worth the price of the bed, which is getting cheaper
by the year.
Electric Adjustable Beds
Electric beds come in various forms - the pocket spring mattress
or the modern foam mattresses. They can be electronically controlled
through a controller. The head, neck, shoulders, upper and lower
back, hips, thighs, legs and feet can be comfortably positioned
on the bed by adjusting the different parts of the bed. This can
be done by the simple touch of a button.
Electric adjustable beds can do a number of things for the person
laying on them. First, it gives the person the ability to choose
the softness or firmness of the bed. This allows the person to
get a setting on the bed that is a perfect fit for their bodies,
allowing them to sleep through a night, without interruptions
from trying to get comfortable. Electric adjustable beds can also
massage the body, acting like a personal masseuse to the person
who owns the bed. This is a great benefit for those who have a
high stress job. Now they can lay back, relax and enjoy the rollers
moving across their bodies, wiping away the stress of a long day.
Lastly, electric beds can also adjust when a person is watching
television or reading. Too often, people will crane their necks
to a position where they can see the television, or read, while
lying down. This puts stress on the neck bones that can lead to
complications later in life if something is not done. With an
adjustable bed, there is no reason to crane one's neck, and the
body can be in a relaxed position that does not impede blood flow
anywhere in the body.
Adjustable beds have two main components - the base and the mattress.
The main features to be taken into consideration while buying
an adjustable bed are the type of mattress (foam, latex, coil
spring or air) and the size of the mattress (twin, queen, king
or full).
