Adjustable Beds

Whether you struggle with back pain or poor circulation, an adjustable bed could be ideal. Adjustable beds – also called mobility beds or sometimes even electric beds – aren’t just for those in need of mobility assistance or pain management anymore either. More and more adjustable beds and mattresses are becoming a lifestyle choice. From single adjustable beds to doubles, king size, and even super king reclining beds, we cater to all your size demands. And some of our beds are even equipped with top technology too. Explore the collection below.

What is an adjustable bed?

An adjustable bed is a bed which comes complete with a motorised mechanism.

This mechanism allows you to raise and lower the mattress to your desired height and angle, adjusting the bed while you are in it, to help maximise your comfort.

Adjustable bases can be helpful if you struggle with back pain, poor circulation or decreased mobility. They are sometimes referred to as electric beds, mobility beds or reclining beds.

Some adjustable beds come with two separate motors, allowing you to adjust each side of the bed independently. This is particularly ideal if you share your bed with a partner, since a split king adjustable bed can offer support to suit your differing needs.

If you need help sitting up or getting out of bed, then with an adjustable bed, you can simply press a button and the bed will adjust accordingly. This allows you to get up easily, without having to physically push yourself up.

What is the best mattress for an adjustable bed?

The best mattress for your adjustable bed base will really depend on your needs and preferences.

We offer a range of mattress options which are included when you buy your adjustable bed. If you share your bed with a partner, you can each choose your own firmness rating as our king and super king adjustable beds come with two different mattresses, one for each side of the bed.

Do adjustable beds help with back pain?

Chronic back pain can make getting a restful night’s sleep difficult, as it can be hard to get comfortable in bed.

An adjustable bed can help if you prefer to sleep in an inclined position, rather than lying completely flat on a mattress.

You can simply move your adjustable bed so that your upper body is resting at a slight incline, as well as supporting your knees.

If your back pain limits your mobility then adjustable beds can also help you to sit up and get out of bed in the morning.

Do I need special sheets for an adjustable bed?

Yes, you may need different sheets for an adjustable bed.

This is because the movement of the bed can cause your sheets to move around, sometimes causing them to pop off the mattress at the corners or bunch up in the middle.

Look for pocketed fitted sheets or sheets which come with elastic straps. Sheet fasteners will also help to keep your sheet fitting perfectly on your adjustable bed.

Are adjustable beds worth it?

Getting a good night’s sleep is priceless.

If you struggle with back pain, joint pain, mobility issues or poor circulation, an adjustable bed could help you to sleep at night and make getting up in the morning easier.

Adjustable beds are ideal for elderly people as they can also help to ease you out of bed in the morning if your joints and muscles are stiff. They also offer a variety of comfortable sleeping positions which you may find more difficult to get from a regular mattress.
