Adjustable Beds Promote Natural, Comfortable Sleep

by Ben Franklin


What are the advantages of an adjustable sleep bed over a normal one? The answers are multiple. You know, for every problem there's also a solution. That's what an adjustable sleep bed offers for people who suffer from different conditions or for those who want to prevent those conditions from ever happening.
Did it ever happen to you not to be able to sleep at night? The best guess is that it happened because of your bed. When you are not able to fall asleep, you keep turning around from one side to another, on your back or on your belly. That's because your body tries to avoid pressure points which reduce the blood flow and cause you discomfort.
Moreover, the traditional bed mattresses are flat, and guess what? That's in contradiction with your spinal alignment. A lot of the traditional back illnesses are made worse by the traditional beds and mattresses.
So what's the most natural and comfortable sleeping position? You will probably be a little bit surprised to find out that it's not at all the traditional one in which a normal bed would make you sleep. The head should be elevated just a little bit, thus allowing for easier breathing. Even more important seems to be the knees position, which must be slightly bent over the heart's level. Now this is the natural sleeping position and you might find it a little strange.
But that's the purpose of an adjustable sleep bed, to enable you to sleep in a natural, comfortable position. One of today's most important concerns seems to be the health issue, and that only seems normal. Eating natural products, practicing sports and other healthy things seem to be more and more on every person's agenda.
An adjustable sleep bed could also be the answer towards avoiding different consequences of unnatural sleeping positions. For example, did you know that back problems, snoring, shoulder pains, breathing problems, gastric reflux, blood circulation problems, and arthritis could all be the consequences of unhealthy sleeping habits? In the long run, these could even get aggravated and offer you some very unpleasant surprises. And it's far better to prevent than to treat.
So what does an adjustable sleep bed actually offer? Well, it can be best defined as a personalized mattress. Yes, that's right, because you have an adjustable base and a mattress. The mattress needs to perfectly fit over the sleep base. Sleep bases are not all the same, they come in different shapes, sizes and adjusting positions. One thing is certain though. They are far more recommendable than traditional beds.
Now, everything I told you may come as a surprise to some and be old news to others. One thing is clear though: the traditional bed is hardly the best option for sleeping. You know, some may say, Oh, it doesn't really matter, it's just sleeping, it's not important. This is very wrong.
Just think about it. A normal adult person has to sleep about 8 hours a day. Depending on each person's constitution, it may also be seven or nine hours a day, but certainly not less than seven. So you will agree with me that every person has to spend a third of his or her life sleeping. To me, it sounds very much. We all could do better things with that time, but it's a necessity that we can't be deprived of or else we couldn't function normally. So, if this is the case, why neglect the way in which we live 33 percent of our lives? Why sleep in a traditional bed when we can sleep in a far more health-oriented adjustable sleep bed?
