The Benefits of Adjustable Beds for a Good Nights Sleep
How often do you lie awake in bed, tossing and turning and unable to get comfortable? Do you find that your back and hips hurt or that you have trouble getting in and out of bed? Has your partner told you that you snore?
If any of these sound familiar, you may benefit from having an adjustable bed. Adjustable beds can move with you, helping you find the perfect sleeping position. Read on to learn more about the benefits an adjustable bed can bring to your life.
Reduce Pain
More than 54 million Americans live with arthritis, and the pain this condition causes can make it hard to sleep in a traditional bed. When you’re living with arthritis, the key to pain control is to reduce pressure on the joints that the disease affects. An adjustable bed can help you find an ergonomic position that is easier on your joints.
Many people also deal with back pain caused by their spine being out of alignment and the pressure that traditional beds put on your spine doesn’t help. Adjustable beds can help reduce some of the pressure on your spine or even eliminate it with their zero gravity positions.
Improve Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition that affects far more than just a partner who has to cope with snoring. It can make you drowsy all the time and can put you at greater risk for dementia, heart disease, and diabetes, among other things. And if the idea of wearing a mask while you sleep doesn’t excite you, another easy treatment is to raise the head of your bed.
In some cases, sleep apnea may be caused by the muscles in the back of your throat relaxing and falling down, shutting off your airway. Sleeping in a slightly elevated position keeps your airway open. Adjustable beds make this a snap, and you can see a huge improvement in your quality of life by having an adjustable bed, together with working with a respiratory therapist.
Improve Comfort and Accessibility
Do you ever have nights when you toss and turn, unable to find any position that’s comfortable? Do you sleep with pillows piled around you to raise your feet, knees, arms, or head? Having an adjustable bed can make it easy to find the best sleep position for you that will ensure a great night’s rest.
Adjustable beds can also make it easier and more comfortable to get in and out of bed, something an Elite caregiver can also help with. Getting up and down from a low mattress can be hard, but adjustable mattresses can move with you. This prevents you from putting undue strain on your body or risking a fall trying to get out of bed.
