At the touch of a button, they can lift you into a semi-contoured position that supports your entire body while you sleep in the perfect sleeping position. Carry on reading to see how an adjustable bed can help to improve your health and give you a great night’s sleep.
Arthritis
Arthritis causes pain and inflammation in the joints. There are two main types of arthritis; osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is when the smooth cartilage that lines the joints starts to roughen which causes ligaments and tendons to work harder. This causes swelling, pain, difficulty moving and the formation of osteophytes. It’s most common in the hands, spine, knee, hips and feet. Rheumatoid arthritis is when the body’s immune system targets your joints causing pain, swelling, the joints to change shape and cartilage to break down.

The adjustable beds are electrically operated, meaning all the pressure on your joints is taken away when you’re getting in and out of bed because you can bring the head of the bed up and down at the click of a button. You can also get the bed into a semi-contoured position, where your back and legs are slightly raised alleviating pain in all your major joints.
Hip Replacement
A hip replacement is a common surgical procedure to replace a damaged hip with an artificial one. Damaged hips cause reduced mobility issues and pain even while resting. Hips can be damaged due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, a hip fracture, septic arthritis or bone dysplasia (related to unusual bone growth).

Sleeping with your legs raised helps keep the pressure off your hips and can aid in the recovery. The mattress and semi-contoured position will perfectly support your recovering hip joint.
Back Pain
Back pain is a common ailment which normally improves within a few weeks or months. Pain can range in location from the lower back to the spine, hips or neck. If it lingers on it can cause significant pain and may be caused by a sprain, strain, slipped disc or sciatica. The problem with back pain is that it’s very hard to diagnose the cause of the pain.

Whatever the cause of the back pain, the shallow contoured position of the adjustable bed provides support to aid your back. You can raise the head of the bed to make it easier to get in and out of the bed without straining your back.
