Explore Our Range of Adjustable Beds
What Are Adjustable Beds and Who Benefits?
Adjustable beds are designed to aid mobility, comfort, and sleep quality through motorised adjustment. Head and foot sections raise or lower independently, supporting you whether you’re sleeping, watching tv, reading, or relieving pressure on joints. For those with mobility issues, reduced mobility, back pain, or chronic health conditions like acid reflux or sleep apnoea, an electric adjustable bed can provide life-changing ease and improved sleep quality.
Key Benefits:
- Personalised Comfort: Fine-tune your sleeping position with a remote control for maximum comfort.
- Zero Gravity Position: Experience weightless comfort designed to relieve pressure and improve blood flow.
- Support for Health Conditions: Elevating the upper body can help with respiratory issues and acid reflux.
- Ease of Use: Remote controls and smooth electric motor operation make bed adjustments effortless, even for older adults or those with limited mobility.
- VAT Relief: Many customers with medical needs qualify for VAT relief, making these beds more affordable.
Adjustable Electric Bed Features: What Sets Them Apart
Our range of electric adjustable beds incorporates features you will not find with most traditional beds or static bed frames, including:
- Memory Foam or Pocket Sprung Mattresses: Flexible and supportive options compatible with adjustable bed bases.
- Adjustable Bed Frames: Engineered with split sections for independent head and foot movement.
- Advanced Motor Technology: Whisper-quiet operation for night-time comfort.
- Handset or Remote Control: Effortless position changes for different sleep preferences.
- Built-in USB Ports (on selected models): For added convenience, charge your devices bedside.
- Zero Gravity Functionality: Redistribute body weight and reduce pressure on the spine and joints.
- Storage Drawers (see divan adjustable models): Extra storage options beneath your bed without limiting movement.
Choosing the Right Adjustable Bed for You
When selecting the right adjustable bed, consider your room size and the bed size that fits best. Popular sizes include single, double, king, and super king, and king size or super king often provide independent movement on both sides, which is ideal for couples with different sleep preferences. Use a compatible flexible mattress, such as memory foam or a specialist pocket sprung design, so the base can bend correctly.
Think about your preferred sleeping position and whether you need to raise your legs, adjust your head height, or reduce pressure at specific points. If you need help getting in and out of bed, look for models that offer supportive height or assistive features. Finally, choose the feature set that suits your routine, such as USB ports, under-bed lighting, or massage.
