So the short answer is no, adjustable beds are not just for the elderly, they are for anyone who wants or needs one. That being said, there are distinct benefits to adjustable bed ownership, even those at the peak of physical fitness can get an extra health boost from a great night's sleep in an adjustable bed.
Here at Flexispot, we know comfort when we see it. That is why our adjustable bed range does not disappoint when it comes to getting a sound night’s slumber and greater flexibility in your sleep routine.
Helps to Support Standing Posture
Younger people are more commonly employed in jobs that require a lot of physical activity or are standing all day. Working in fast food, at the register, or on a production line can see workers standing for up to 7 hours a day or more, affecting blood circulation in the long term.
Those who stand all day are at risk of developing varicose veins. Generally associated with old age - varicose veins are also produced when a person is standing for too long, and blood begins to pool in the leg veins, causing them to become overworked and the valves to weaken.
Adjustable beds help to give your veins a break. Sleeping with your legs elevated at night helps the blood to balance out and takes the pressure off your veins (literally!) and helps them to increase efficiency.
Customisable Sleep
No matter your age, we are all made up differently with different pressure points and weak spots that require more or less support during the night as we sleep. Traditional beds only offer a few options when it comes to sleep positions, and most sleep positions that we are inclined to fall into can strain the body leading to aches and pains.
If you wake up in the morning feeling more tired than when you went to sleep with no other reasonable explanation as to why, your traditional bed may be the culprit.
Tossing and turning during the night occurs consciously and unconsciously. Our bodies move frequently as we sleep as it tries to find the optional sleeping position, and staying in one position for too long can be harmful.
Adjustable beds give you more choice of movement and are easier to adapt to your sleep needs.
Recovery from Injury
Adjustable beds were not built for the elderly, they were built to help people of any age recover from injury.
In fact, during WWI adjustable beds were most popular with young men. As soldiers returned from war with various injuries still healing, there was a surge in demand for adjustable beds. They were associated with battle-scarred young men rather than the sick and elderly as they are today.
Adjustable beds are practical if you find yourself suddenly less mobile. The sit-up function means that you can eat comfortably while remaining in bed, watch TV engage in conversation and do a lot of daily tasks from your bedside.
The injury also may force you to sleep in a position that you are not used to, and an adjustable bed can help in that transition. Instead of stocking pillows to support for back or legs, an adjustable bed does all the hard work for you.
A Better Nights Sleep - For Your Partner
Those who have a partner that snores know just how difficult it is to get - and stay - asleep. While there are all sorts of gadgets available on the market that promise to stop or reduce snoring - many of them do not work.
If you are a throat snorer - e.g your snoring is caused by pressure on your throat from lying down - an adjustable bed could be the solution. Sitting upright helps to reduce this type of snoring to close to 0% and snoring interrupts the sleep cycle not just for long-suffering partners but for the snorer as well.
Relieving pressure on the neck stops snoring and makes sure that the both of you get a long uninterrupted night's sleep
Adjustable beds are up and coming in the younger persons market. No longer associated with the old and infirm, having an adjustable bed gives the user an added benefit of luxury as they enjoy more flexible sleeping positions and overall better quality of sleep.
Even if you don't use the functions every day, having an adjustable bed at hand means that you are well prepared should you suffer an injury and need bed rest to heal.
Available in a variety of sizes and styles, there is an adjustable bed out there for everybody of any size, need and age.
