Are Adjustable Beds Worth It?

Recently there has been a lot of hype surrounding adjustable beds, but is it right for you? While every person is different, adjustable beds have exploded onto the market. They’re finding their way into more and more homes. However, here are a couple of factors you need to consider if you want to purchase an adjustable bed.

Price

On average, adjustable beds are going to cost more because it’s not just a simple purchase.  Usually, when you buy an adjustable bed, you’re buying the frame first. After that, you’ll need to also find a mattress to put on that bed frame. Now, some stores will offer you a bed with that frame. However, the actual bed still needs to be customized to your needs. That isn’t to say that it’s not worth the money. It is for those who suffer from pain, and want more comfort from their bed. Some adjustable beds also include USB hubs, plugins, and other smart devices. If you are looking for this type of adjustable bed then that price is going to go up. While, in general, adjustable beds are more expensive than a regular bed, that price point Is mostly for the cost of the mechanized frame. If you already have a mattress, it can be a good time to upgrade. Just put your old mattress on the new frame. This can help cut down the costs of an expensive frame.

You are older

Adjustable beds originally got their start in hospitals. They are often used to help patients raise and lower so they can breathe and heal better. Adjustable beds were also used for patients to sleep better and not damage themselves while they sleep. Using an adjustable mattress can help senior citizens get out of bed in the morning, and help with neck and back pain. Specifically, you can customize your bed to certain heights and angles that can be better for your back and legs. Consider using an adjustable bed if you’re having trouble moving around. If you’re worried about your partner, you can also get double adjustable beds so you can each have a comfort level specific to you. 

You work in bed

One of the great benefits of an adjustable bed frame is that you can work in it. Oftentimes, people who work from home report back, neck, and shoulder pain. When you have an adjustable bed you can still sit up and work in your bed. You won’t have to worry about your shoulders pinching or your back hurting. Instead, your adjustable bed can cater to your specific needs. Don’t let your spine be hurt by an improper sitting position. Use your bed as a workstation. Put a memory foam mattress on the frame to make it extra comfortable. It can also be a great option for those who love to watch TV in bed.

You already have a firm mattress

Although adjustable beds can help with back pain, what you also really need is a firm mattress. Firm mattresses can help your back feel more comfortable and help you experience less pain throughout the night. If you already have a firm mattress then it might be the right time to make the switch on your bed frame. This is also dependent upon your sleep style as some people sleep on their sides or their stomach. Make sure you thoroughly test the bed while shopping, which leads to the next point.

It comes with a warranty and a good return policy

Sometimes when shopping, the buyer actually makes the wrong choice. It’s no different for buying an adjustable bed. This purchase is likely to cost you thousands of dollars and, just in case it doesn’t work out, you need to be able to return it. Make sure your bed has a good return policy on it and that you can return it even after a month’s use. It may seem uncommon, but you’ll be happy for that return policy should you not feel comfortable in your new bed. It’s one of the crucial steps to take when buying a mattress. Always make sure there is a good return policy.

A warranty on an adjustable bed is important because they usually require an electric motor to raise and lower the bed. Due to faulty handling, poor design, or damage done in transit, those electric motors can give out. Make sure your new bed comes with a warranty in case it does break down. That way you aren’t left with the cost of buying a whole new bed.
