Adjustable beds are becoming increasingly popular for people who watch TV or read in bed.
But they’re also an excellent option for acid reflux or sleep apnea sufferers and are great for providing pressure relief.
However, not all mattresses are compatible with adjustable bed frames. So when purchasing a new mattress for an adjustable bed, it’s essential to check whether it’s flexible enough to move with the base if you want to enjoy all its benefits.
Most mattresses compatible with adjustable bases offer pressure relief and are suitable for any sleeping position, so provide the sleeper with quality sleep.
Unlike box spring beds, an adjustable bed frame can be raised or lowered at the head, and some can also be raised at the foot, providing ergonomic positioning.
Adjustable frames are ideal for gastro reflux sufferers, snorers, and back sleepers. The customizable sleep positions allow the sleeper to elevate the head position to provide relief and ultimate comfort.
However, a split adjustable bed has the best adjustable mattress base for those disturbed by their partner moving at night. An individual twin XL mattress offers a better night’s sleep as there’s no motion transfer, and you can purchase the firmness scale to suit individual needs.
As an adjustable bed frame allows individual positioning to provide comfort, it does require a special mattress.
Most foam mattresses, including gel-infused memory foam and latex mattresses, are compatible as their shape adapts by bending and folding when you adjust the bed frame.
On the other hand, innerspring mattresses aren’t generally compatible unless you purchase a softer mattress specially designed with individually wrapped coils.
As hybrid mattresses have innerspring coils, the only ones suitable are those fitted with pocketed coils. Otherwise, the mattress will get damaged when you adjust the frame.
Let’s now look at the benefits of an adjustable bed frame mattress.
Standard foam beds can be comfortable to sleep in. But for ultimate pressure relief on your joints, adjustable beds with a medium-firm adjustable mattress are the best.
Elevating the adjustable base to the natural shape of your spine is especially beneficial to side sleepers as it supports the knees, hips, and spine. As weight is distributed evenly, pressure on the joints will decrease.
Memory foam mattresses are an excellent option for every sleeping position as the memory foam layer relieves pressure by responding to your body weight.
Hybrid mattresses made from memory foam or latex relieve pressure by cushioning the pressure points.
Snoring occurs when you sleep in a flat position which puts pressure on the back of your throat, causing your windpipe to close up easily.
Adjustable beds allow you to elevate your head and upper body at a slight incline. An incline of six to nine inches helps remove pressure from the back of your throat, allowing your airway and nasal passages to open up.
Hybrid mattresses with latex or polyfoam generally encourage a good posture and reduce pressure around the neck, providing relief to snorers. But a hybrid mattress on an adjustable bed also allows you to breathe much easier through your nose.
Adjustable bed bases are ideal for reducing fluid buildup that causes swelling of the legs as the adjustable frame allows you to raise the leg-end of the frame so you can sleep with your legs elevated.
Whatever the reason for your legs swelling, sleeping flat will make them worse, resulting in poor sleep. In this case, the best position to sleep is with your legs elevated above your heart and your upper body lying flat. Any fluid accumulated in your legs will be pumped into your circulatory system.
When you sleep, your blood pressure drops. And if your body isn’t aligned correctly, this can result in poor blood circulation.
Elevating the leg end of the adjustable base frame will help improve circulation. Your feet will be positioned above your heart, so your blood will flow back towards your heart and brain more smoothly.
Additionally, adjustable bed bases are ideal for people with arthritis, as when blood circulation improves, blood flows to the affected areas and helps decrease inflammation in the surrounding joints.
The correct position is essential when you sleep as your body digests and processes food during the night. Sleeping flat hinders the digestion process, making it difficult to fall asleep. And the result could be that you are restless throughout the night.
Adjustable bases are the best solution to avoid digestive problems, as you’ll achieve the ideal digestion position by elevating your head six inches.
Medium firm memory foam or hybrid mattresses will also support your abdominal area, providing more comfort. And they are both suitable for adjustable beds.
A compatible mattress is essential for an adjustable bed if you want to maximize comfort. The best memory foam mattress won’t be comfortable if it’s not suitable for adjustable bases.
But you can expect a compatible memory foam bed to be highly comfortable and relieve pain.
For maximum comfort, gel-infused foam is the best mattress for people who sleep hot. They are cooler than a traditional memory foam mattress due to the gel pods added to the top foam layers.
But if you prefer being warm and cozy, you should consider traditional memory foam, as it retains body heat.
