The Benefits of an Adjustable Base

Are you looking for a way to elevate your sleep system? Maybe you found the perfect mattress, but there is just something missing. What if we told you that there is a way to improve your sleep and your overall health with just one added change? With millions of adults in the United States reporting to have some type of sleep disorder or other issues, it’s time to discuss the one thing that can help change your life: an adjustable base.

Adjustable bases are a foundation to add to your mattress that can adjust to different positions for ultimate comfort in your sleep routine. These bases are one of the best ways to help you get a great night’s rest for years to come. There are a large variety of personal and health benefits that can come from using an adjustable base. Here are some of the top advantages to getting an adjustable base:

Reduce Back Pain

Sadly, we do not get the support we need by lying flat on our backs while sleeping. With the use of an adjustable base, our beds can help reduce the pressure on our spines. Positioning the head of the base to a 45-degree slant can help with lower back pain and also eliminate the need to use multiple pillows to prop your head up. Many adjustable base models come with the zero-gravity option that allows sleepers to feel completely weightless while taking away the pressure off their lower back completely. This in addition to your bed is a must for anybody with back pain.

Breathe Easier, Snore Less

A common issue many of us have is breathing properly while sleeping. When we sleep, our throat muscles relax and we are unable to allow proper air flow through, which causes individuals to snore. Snoring can be uncomfortable, disruptive to partners, and dangerous!

Adjustable bases have the ability to position your body at an incline that would allow more airflow to your lungs. Anybody who suffers from sleep apnea or snoring would greatly benefit from having an adjustable base.

Reduce Indigestion Problems

Indigestion issues happen to everybody and lying down flat would definitely not fix them! Laying flat can cause stomach acids to come into your esophagus and cause heartburn, which nobody enjoys. People with indigestion issues can use an adjustable base as a way to elevate their upper bodies to prevent reflux and acid in digestion.

Better Circulation

Regular circulation is an absolute must for your heart to do its job properly. Laying down flat can cause the heart to work harder than it needs to and can worsen your heart problems. By elevating your legs with an adjustable base, you can help improve your body’s blood circulation. Another bonus to leg elevation is being able to lessen swelling in our legs and feet. It’s amazing how slightly lifting your lower body while sleeping can do wonders for your body and heart.

Individualized Comfort

Every sleeper has a different comfort need, including our partners. When purchasing an adjustable base, we are able to choose a split option which allows couples to sleep however they would like! For example, if one partner has sleep apnea, he or she would be able to lift their head to sleep, without disrupting the partner who would rather sleep flat. The split option is also a bonus for anybody who doesn’t just sleep in bed! Individuals who read or watch television in bed get to finally lift their head to the perfect angle without having to add multiple pillows to do so. Who would ever want to leave their bed with that option?
