Did you know that the quality of your sleep can affect just about every aspect of your daily life? If you’re tired of working through brain fog every day because of poor sleep, consider switching to an adjustable bed frame>. Adjustable bed frames can help you get a great night’s sleep every night, so you’ll feel better and function at optimum levels every day.
Common Misconceptions about Adjustable Beds
- Costs: Many people erroneously believe that they can’t afford to switch to an adjustable bed, but adjustable beds have become more affordable and more advanced in the last decade, so there are options available that will work for almost any budget.
- Age: Many people associate adjustable beds with their elderly relatives’ squeaky metal hospital beds, but modern adjustable beds feature sleek, aesthetically pleasing designs that can benefit people of any age.
- Style: Adjustable bed designs and features have advanced over the years, and most can now be paired with a standard headboard and footboard, so an adjustable bed frame can blend seamlessly with your existing bedroom furniture.
- Mattress: Most people don’t realize that most—but not all—memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are compatible with modern adjustable bed frames, so you don’t have to purchase an expensive specialty mattress when you upgrade to an adjustable bed. If you prefer a pillow top mattress, many are designed to work with adjustable bed frames. If you are unsure about a mattress’s compatibility, ask the mattress experts at your local mattress store for suggestions.
An Adjustable Bed Might Improve Your Sleep If…
- You Snore (or if Your Partner’s Snoring Keeps You Awake): Snoring can affect the quality of your sleep (and your partner’s sleep), but there are ways to address snoring and minimize your sleep disturbances. Elevating your head just a few inches can promote better airflow so you can breathe easily while you sleep. With an adjustable bed, you can experiment with what angle works best for you. If you sleep with a partner, most adjustable beds feature dual controls so you can elevate your head to the level you need to open your airways while your partner can do the same.
- You Wake Up in Pain: If you tend to wake up with painful or tense muscles in your neck, shoulder, or back, you might experience relief when you switch to an adjustable bed. With an adjustable bed, you can adjust the bed to the right angle for you to relieve the pressure and pinching that you feel when sleeping on a flat bed.
- You Struggle with Circulation Problems: If your feet get tingly and fall asleep when you’re sleeping in a traditional flat bed, switch to an adjustable bed so you can elevate your feet above your heart. Elevating your feet will help you in multiple ways: Your feet won’t lose feeling or turn into ice cubes in the middle of the night, and your heart won’t have to work as hard to pump blood to your toes.
- You Have Mobility Issues: People with mobility issues often find that it is easier to get into and out of an adjustable bed, so upgrading to an adjustable bed can promote independence and reduce the likelihood of dangerous falls.
