Everything you need to know about adjustable beds

Today’s adjustable beds are the ultimate in sleep comfort – effortlessly adapting to your body and providing support at the touch of a button.

The ultimate in adjustable comfort

No longer are adjustable beds only for those with specific medical conditions. Long gone are the days of the enormous hospital beds with slow and noisy mechanisms. Contemporary designs, highly engineered mechanisms, and advanced technology now put them on a par with other luxury divan beds. In fact, a key characteristic of modern beds is that they don’t actually look like adjustable beds when in a lowered position.

These beds can be adjusted into various positions to make sleeping more comfortable; and also make getting in and out of the bed easier. Likewise, if you have a medical condition that requires you to sleep in certain positions, then an adjustable bed may be the answer to your problems.

Backpain

Nearly half of the UK population will suffer from some form of back pain during their lives.

Whether it’s caused by stress, accidents, bad posture, or exercise; back pain is one of the most commonly reported conditions in the UK. A good bed will help reduce pain in the lower back and other discomforts associated with back injuries.

The precise bed positioning is important; a major reason for pains in the joints and muscles is believed to be due to a lack of proper support. Resting on a flatbed, the pressure points at the neck, shoulders, hips, and ankles can make you toss and turn; as a result, causing poor and interrupted sleep.

Reduce Snoring and Breathe Better

Elevate your head to reduce snoring

When lying flat, your tongue and soft tissues can narrow your airways and cause snoring. Slightly elevating your head effectively reduces snoring by stopping this narrowing and allowing more oxygen to flow freely.

Pressure & strain

Relieve stress on the neck, spine, and knees.

Choosing an adjustable bed takes away pressure points enabling your body to relax and have a deeper, more restful, and healthier night’s sleep. Sleeping in an adjustable bed can alleviate joint strain, muscle stress, and improve posture. In fact, the overall strain on your skeletal system can be reduced by as much as 85%.

Arthritis & Blood Circulation

Poor blood circulation can be uncomfortable and even lead to blood clots.

The zero-gravity position (head and legs raised) elevates your head and legs to aid blood flow. The heart muscle will be encouraged to pump harder and allow more blood to reach your extremities. Swelling of the legs and edema can be eased if the legs are raised. Additional massage features can also help circulation.

Find your natural sleeping postition

Scientific tests in zero-gravity atmospheres have shown that the most natural position for sleeping is with the head slightly elevated and the knees bent.

Adjustable beds can reproduce this perfect zero-gravity sleeping position. Each bed will come with its own easy-to-use handset and memory buttons to guarantee to reproduce the same position each night.

Adjustable mattress choices

An adjustable bed mattress must have enough flex in it to accommodate the moving slats or base below it.

Choose a mattress that’s too thick or uses standard springs and it will struggle to bend and could damage the adjustable base. Whether you prefer natural fillings, natural latex, or memory foam; we have it covered at Jones and Tomlin.  Need more help? Our fully trained experts can help guide you to the correct mattress option.

Natural fillings

Natural fillings are more breathable, responsive, and durable than any synthetic fibre. Combined with specially made pocket springs that allow more movement and longevity, this type of mattress is a great choice for an adjustable bed.

Natural Fillings

Memory foam

Memory foam is a good budget choice for an adjustable bed mattress. Designed to mould to your body using body heat, there are no moving parts making it super flexible and therefore longer lasting.

Natural latex

Latex mattresses are flexible but, in contrast to memory foam, use bodyweight to mould to your body shape. It returns to its original position much quicker and is the perfect choice for an adjustable bed. Choose latex, and a Dunlopillo adjustable bed, for its hypoallergenic qualities and its firmer feel.

Natural Latex

Adjustable Bases

Each adjustable bed base offers unique, customisable support to different areas of the body. Choose from pocket sprung or padded top.

Pocket Sprung Base

Pocket sprung bases will help soften out a mattress and are the ultimate luxury to maximise support and comfort right to the edge of the mattress. The sumptuous Hästens Adjustable Bed is the finest example we sell.

Adjustable Beds

Padded Top Base

Combining a firm panel base with additional padded comfort layers is our recommended choice. The padded base will allow freer, smoother movement of the mattress and comfort levels will be dramatically increased.
