Have you ever considered an adjustable foundation for your mattress?  Many people assume adjustable beds are only for the sick or elderly, but that’s not true!  There are many health and lifestyle benefits associated with owning an adjustable foundation, for people of all ages and walks of life!

You can view a great informational video about adjustable beds HERE, which are available right now at R&Q!

Here are just a few of the many benefits of owning an adjustable bed:

Lifestyle Benefits

• Raising the head of the bed makes watching television, reading, and eating in bed much easier. Movie night in bed is easier than ever before, and you don’t have to deal with moving from the couch to your bedroom in the middle of the night.
• The Zero-Gravity position, which can be found on many of our bases, puts your body in a position of least resistance from gravity.
• Good for the Heart Raising the legs of the bed slightly allows your heart to work less difficultly, thereby promoting sleep.
• Eliminate Snoring Raising the head of the bed slightly (5-10 degrees) will decrease and even eliminate snoring.
• “First thing in the morning work.” In today’s world, many of us wake up every morning knowing that there are going to be a few things – emails, phone calls, memos-that need to be addressed first thing. Some adjustable bed owners report knocking out those “must-do” tasks without leaving their bed. This allows them to take their time preparing for the day with fewer worries and less urgency.

Medical Benefits

• Makes Getting Out of Bed Easy. With nothing to hold on to, a flat mattress can be very difficult for the elderly and injured to get out of bed. Raising the Head of the Bed makes it easy to get on your feet or transition to a wheelchair.
• Lower Back Pain Relief The ability to adjust positions can help reduce back pain, by redistributing pressure across different parts of the body. In addition if you sit up straight in the bed and then lower it, you get a stretch in those hard to target spinal muscles.
• Arthritis Relief an Adjustable Bed can provide relief for those suffering from arthritis.
• Relax Sore Muscles Raise or lower the bed to relax the muscles and take pressure off of troublesome areas and joints.
• Improved Blood Flow The massage feature and adjustability promotes healthy blood flow.
• Raising the bed slightly can eliminate snoring and be easy on sinuses.
• GERD– otherwise known as “Heartburn,” is caused when stomach acid enters the esophagus.
• Diabetes Relief Diabetes is a disease that often effects circulation to the limbs and legs especially. No adjustable base is going to cure this disease-what we can empirically say is that with the blood circulation you get with an adjustable base, it can improve circulation needed to promote the circulation and healing to a part of your body that needs all the assistance they can get.
• Asthma and Breathing Relief By taking the stress off of the lungs, you can breather easier. This can be good for those with decreased lung capacity and even individuals suffering minor asthmatic episodes. Sleep Apnea sufferers have also reported longer, undisturbed sleeping periods when using an adjustable bed.
• Swelling and Edema Raising the Legs above your heart can assist with edema-the building up of fluid in the body.
