Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Beds

By Sharon Dalzell @Dalzells_Beds

Modern-day electric beds are designed with both functionality and style in mind. Long gone are the days of unwieldy and cumbersome hospital beds being brought home. Nowadays, people buy adjustable beds for numerous reasons.

Health reasons, mobility, post-surgery or as a luxurious alternative to a standard bed, there are many advantages in choosing an electric adjustable bed. We’ve set out these below.

Advantages of An Adjustable Bed

Anyone that experiences chronic back pain understands that sleeping flat can aggravate pain. Adjustable beds offer more comfort than a standard bed due to the incline and reclining positions that an electric bed provides.

A good supportive bed helps to alleviate any aggravation caused by sleeping in the wrong position. An electric bed is ideal in this scenario by personalising the position of the bed to match your exact needs.

Better Sleep

To combat poor sleep caused by snoring disturbance, people often purchase electric beds. Sleeping flat on your back is usually a reason why people snore. By adjusting your sleep position to a slightly raised incline, you can prevent snoring.

What’s more, the beauty of an adjustable bed allows you and your partner to adjust the sleeping position independently of one another. Most models now come with two beds that offer dual control for this purpose.

Raising the head of the bed prevents the airways from being blocked, which causes snoring. For snorers and their partners, this offers significant relief and the opportunity for a better night’s sleep.

A raised head position also helps support the correct posture. This is particularly important for people who live with muscle or joint stiffness.

A standard bed restricts overall body movement throughout the night. An electric adjustable bed allows you to change the bed’s position, reducing pressure point build-up. Simply raise either the headend or footend of the bed to the required position for a great night’s sleep.

Adjustable Beds and Mobility

Less Reliant on Others

Regaining mobility and independence after surgery or as we get older are essential factors in our quality of life. Not having to rely on others and having the freedom to move around are important to regaining our independence.

Using your adjustable bed to get in and out of about with ease or move position through the night offers significant freedom and greater independence.

Disadvantages

People often think that buying an electric bed is going to be too expensive. They worry about the costs of special mattresses, assembly and whether they will need costly extras. The truth is, many adjustable bed manufacturers design their beds with a range of options for people to choose from such as a choice of mattress, easy assembly models and design extras as standard.
