Mattresses for adjustable beds

Adjustable beds are becoming increasingly popular - but they must have the right mattress.

Adjustable beds are one of the latest entrants to the bed and mattress market, and they are proving extremely popular. They are particularly useful for those with disabilities or suffering from ill health, where it is difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position, to raise yourself to a sitting position or to get out of bed unaided. An adjustable bed allows you to accomplish all those things at the touch of a button.

It's easy to get carried away by the things that an adjustable bed can do for you, but the mattress you choose still remains the most important thing. Just as with any bed, the mattress that goes on top of an adjustable bed needs to provide you with the right support so that you get the quality of sleep you need every night.

Custom-made mattresses

If you are thinking of buying an adjustable bed, you will need to consider the mattress construction. Many adjustable bed manufacturers custom-make their own mattresses. This is because they are aware of the need for the mattress to respond to the changes in height and pitch that the bed will go through on a regular basis, and they are able to develop mattresses that will withstand these changes whilst continuing to give you the support you need. You may not be able to take your existing single mattress and place it on top of an adjustable bed.

Adjustable aids

Depending on your needs, it is possible to buy accessories for your existing bed and mattress that allow you to make them more adjustable. For example, there are a number of products on the market that sit underneath your mattress and can be inflated with air via a remote control. This causes the mattress to lift - so you can raise your head or your feet, depending where you place the lifter. You can control how far the mattress rises so that you can find the most comfortable position for you.

Whether you choose a complete adjustable bed system or just a product that will work with your existing mattress, you must make sure that you still have the levels of support and comfort you need in order to get a good night's sleep.
