Let’s face it; we humans spend a lot of time in bed – almost one-third of our lives! Knowing that humans spend so much time in bed, shouldn’t we seek the most comfortable bed possible? Adjustable beds may be just that – with study after study showing the real benefits.
One such benefit is that allows you to alter your sleeping position to enhance ergonomic positioning which supports the spine’s natural curvature and encourages a healthy and beneficial sleep posture. This in turn helps you avoid the many discomforts (acid reflux, aching joints, lower back pain) felt while sleeping which prohibit a truly good night’s rest.
Adjustable beds can also address the issue of back pain by promoting a sleep position in line with the body’s natural contours. This more instinctive sleep position aids in proper circulation and reduces strain on the heart. With the added incline, pressure is taken off of your back allowing you to sleep well without multiple pillows which add to back, neck and headache pains. The adjustable bed’s ability to deliver better sleep posture and position help to prevent lower back pain, sciatica (the painful condition in which the sciatic nerve is under pressure from the spine), headaches, back and neck pain as well as promoting enhanced joint flexibility.
The custom support offered by an adjustable bed also relieves tension caused by stress and the pain from arthritis. Not only that, but this elevated support at the head of your adjustable bed helps to promote healthy digestion and reduce acid reflux. Elevation at the foot of the bed can help to reduce swelling in the legs and feet as well fight against the development of varicose veins. In case of leg, ankle or foot injuries, physicians often recommend that you elevate the injury to help prevent pain and swelling; with an adjustable bed you can do that easily keeping your injury elevated “just as the doctor ordered.”
Now, there is one final benefit which you probably haven’t thought of as we’ve run through this little list of big benefits. Adjustable beds can actually help prevent snoring and alleviate some of the effects of obstructive sleep apnea. By adjusting the head of your adjustable bed slightly, your (or your partner’s) trachea is not obstructed reducing snoring and improving your rest. Though your adjustable bed custom positions won’t help all kinds of apnea, position change has been shown to improve the quality of sleep for those suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.
