In addition to a more comfortable sleeping position, adjusta
ble beds can often bring health benefits as well.


Two simple examples include:

  • elevating the upper body to help reduce acid reflux and heartburn
  • elevating the legs to reduce edema or swelling in the lower legs


Adjustable beds come in two main forms:

  • single
  • dual motors


The number of motors the bed has will determine the flexibility of positions to which the bed can be adjusted to.


The dual-motor offers a greater selection of positions as the leg portion of the bed can be adjusted independently of the head portion of the bed.


Adjustable beds can also be equipped with additional features such as:

  • massage
  • heat functions


As with traditional beds, adjustable beds come in a variety of sizes, and they are:

  • single
  • double
  • queen
  • king


Dual beds are also available which consist of two side-by-side beds which can be adjusted independently to one another, which is ideal for couples who like to sleep in different positions.
