New forum now available for adjustable beds

Buying an adjustable bed can be one of the biggest purchases you can make. There are many manufacturers of adjustable beds in the UK and we think making a purchase like this should be researched thoroughly. Adjustable beds can not only give extra comfort to those using them, but some makes also offer built in massage and heat systems that can help aches and pains, increase blood circulation and give a sense of general well being. Adjustable beds are used throughout the UK from private purchases in the home to their use in care homes and hospitals, where they are used as a way of easing patients out of bed who may find traditional beds a problem. Some adjustable beds may only move at the top and bottom ends, raising the legs and head while those used in care homes and hospitals can move the user to an almost upright position. Bed linens for adjustable beds can be a problem as they are usually longer and wider beds with a deeper mattress, Victoria Linen is a manufacurer that supplies these linens and can be found here.

Why do bed linens for Adjustable beds need to be different?

As a company, we at Victoria Linen have been manufacturing bed linens to fit larger and adjustable beds for over 15 years. We are often asked the question, “why do linens for my adjustable bed have to be different?” . Most people who purchase these beds dont realise it at the time but standard linens bought from the supermarket will not stay on these beds once they start to move. Mass produced bed linens are made to fit only standard single, double, king and kingize beds, these are usually 3′ x 6’3″, 4’6″ x 6’3″, 5′ x 6’6″ and 6′ x 6’6″ sizes respectively and usually with a mattress depth of around 5″.

Adjustable beds contain a lot of mechanics for moving the bed and these are housed in the base, because of this they tend to be slightly longer (a standard single adjustable bed is 3′ x 6’6″ for example) so standard linens will not fit, the mattress also will tend to be between 8 and 10 inches in depth, a lot deeper than a standard bed.

Linens for these types of beds need to be made to measure and also need to be elasticated all the way round. At Victoria Linen we ensure all sheets and mattress protectors are made with extra deep corners to accomodate the mattress as well as elastication all the way round to hold it in place when the bed is moving.

Finding a Valance to fit your Adjustable bed

Finding a valance to fit your adjustable bed
Finding a valance to fit your adjustable bed

One of the most frequent enquiries we get at Victoria Linen is for valances that will cover the workings of an adjustable bed. With most makes the machinery of an adjustable bed is held in the base. A valance can cover over these moving bars and also finish off the bed when it is back in its standard position. Victoria Linen manufacture these valances in our factory in Lancs UK. We make valances that are made to fit the moving board on some types of bed, such as the Craftmatic and Adjustamatic models, these valances fit under the mattresses and hold on when the bed is moving. They also come with a seperate cover for the footboards at the foot of the bed. Other adjustable beds have slatted wooden parts that move the bed, for these we produce a velcro attached valance that will fit neatly around the base of the bed and do not interfere with the workings of the bed.
