Health Benefits of Adjustable Beds

Monday, December 10th, 2007

There are thousands of myths and facts about adjustable beds and what health benefits they can have, such as people no longer suffer from aches and pains on a morning as a result, and also some people have reported that their back pains upon waking have completely subsided.

The reason people get aches and pains on a morning is down to a multitude of reasons, the main of which being that the body isn’t flat, it’s curved, meaning that when you’re sleeping on a flat mattress your spine isn’t straight, leading to back pains. Also when you sleep you will be applying weight onto your bodies various pressure points, leading to general aches and pains upon waking.

An adjustable bed can help with this. By adjusting either the neck or feet ends, you can adjust the bed to get your spine as straight as possible and into the most comfortable position.

When buying an adjustable bed, your best choice is to buy one with a memory foam mattress. Rather than a flat surface like a normal mattress, memory foam will mould around your body, giving you the most support where it’s needed. This combined with an adjustable bed will give you the optimum sleeping position and will greatly improve your aches and pains on a morning.

General aches and pains isn’t all that an adjustable bed could help with. Tension that builds up during the day can be massively reduced by raising different parts of the body to allow the blood to circulate around the body properly. Asthma sufferers can also benefit by the upper body being raised. Some asthma sufferers have reported that due to the increased comfort and less pressure felt around the body, they were able to breathe easier.

The facts are that if you are looking to improve your sleeping quality an adjustable bed is definitely an option, and combined with a memory foam mattress, it will provide you will an excellent nights sleep for years to come.

Benefits of a Folding Bed

Friday, November 30th, 2007

If you’re thinking of having guests over, but don’t have to room to fit a full size bed or a sofa bed, then a Folding bed or a Z bed may be an option for you. The idea of a folding bed is exactly as the name suggests. It can fold away to a small size and can be stored in a wardrobe, a cupboard, under an existing bed or anywhere where you can find space to store it.

The Folding bed uses a central pivot point to allow the bed to fold inwards and outwards, and usually a folding bed will have extendable legs to lift the bed off the ground when you fold it out. Folding beds have become a lot more popular in the past 10 years as space restrictions are effecting a lot more people than before. Due to this popular demand, folding beds can now come with sprung or foam mattresses, making your folding bed that little bit more comfortable for your guest.

One of our beds folding beds is the Limelight Mars bed. It features a 2 inch Sprung mattress, all the advantages mentioned above and for the fantastic price of £75.

Another of our guest beds is the Jay-Be Alloy Popular folding bed. It features a foam mattress rather than a sprung mattress, a stylish alloy frame, a very slim and sleek design and a sprung metal base for added comfort for your guest.

The star collection Mayfair could also be an option. The Mayfair is available in 2 different sizes, Small Single or Small Double. This folding bed also comes with a foam mattress, as well as wheels for easy storage, a beech effect headboard and a sprung metal base.

In the future, we can expect folding beds to get more luxurious with memory foam and pocket spring systems replacing the current mattress fillings, meaning that before long, a folding guest bed will be just as comfortable as a normal bed.

Advantages of a Memory Foam Mattress Topper

Monday, November 26th, 2007

If your mattress isn’t giving you the best nights sleep and you want something to give you that extra bit of support and comfort you want on a night, then maybe you should think about a mattress topper. A mattress topper or mattress pad lies on top of your existing mattress, adding a softer layer. You may need this if you have bought a firm orthopedic mattress and just need an extra soft layer on top to relieve aching joints on a morning, or maybe you have an expensive mattress which you don’t want to get rid of and just want to get a bit more life out of it.

The good thing about memory foam mattress toppers is that they are inexpensive, lightweight and can also improve your quality of health. Here are just some of the problems a memory foam mattress topper could help with:

Back & neck pain - A memory foam mattress topper mould’s to the shape of the body, allowing the spine to be straight. This brings huge benefits to back pain or neck pain sufferers due to now having correct spinal alignment

Arthritis - Having less stress on the joints can help with arthritic pains

Headaches/Migraines - Support of the back will encourage the neck muscles to relax and help prevent tension headaches

Circulatory Problems - Due to the properties of the mattress, the weight of the body allows the memory foam to mould around you, preventing such problems as swollen calves & feet, chaffing and bed sores.

Stress - Due to a more comfortable sleeping position, a memory foam mattress topper could help with “tossing & turning” in the night. Not only this but correct alignment of the spine aids in restoration of the nervous system.

Pelvic and Hip Pain - Because of the mattress topper moulding to the body, there is a reduced risk of pressure, therefore reducing the risk of swollen hip joints or an aching pelvic area.

Perfectly healthy people can enjoy a memory foam mattress topper as well, as the mattress will help prevent against any of the problems above, and will give you a better nights sleep because of it.

Although Memory foam is possibly the best mattress topper material due to it’s durability, price and comfort level, it isn’t the only material used in mattress toppers. For example, there are natural latex mattress toppers. Although more expensive than it’s memory foam counterpart, latex mattress toppers tend to have a longer life and are also hypo allergenic which may be perfect for asthma sufferers.

Another possible option is a Wool/Alpaca mattress topper, Alpaca is a very soft wool from the coat of a Llama. On it’s own, Alpaca wool wont be able to support the human body due to how soft it is, so it is usually mixed in with wool for durability. A Wool/Alpaca mattress topper is also hypoallergenic, and because it’s wool, it will absorb your body’s moisture whilst you sleep.
