Is your adjustable bed making you feel worse?

For many people an adjustable bed is a wonderful help and when they first get them they realise just how easy it is to adjust the position they are in once in bed.

However a lot of adjustable bed users seem to think that  it will last forever, but like all things over time products can change and even wear out.

As this starts to happen the support you are getting can be less than it should be. Normally the frame and the action of the adjustable bed will last for a long long time indeed one company, Furmanac, now include a complete 5 year full guarantee on all of their products.

The mattress is the obvious first point to wear and this can be so important, if it is looked after  then a good mattress can last and give full proper support from anywhere between seven (7) and ten (10) years but obviously the longer it is in use the less the support.

With a pocket sprung mattress being used on an adjustable bed it should be turned over and turned around from head to toe on a regular basis to ensure that the padding is able to bounce back and still has its full resilience. The movement of the action can with a spring interior mattress create wear on the metal springs and so it will then not be as supportive as it should.

Those mattresses with memory or reflex foam in them that you do  not need to turn over can as well wear in time eventually the support will begin to go and so  whilst it is not always necessary to change the whole bed it is very sensible anywhere between 7 and 10 years to start thinking about changing your mattress but make sure that even before that you check you bed on a regular basis.

If  and when you come to change your mattress remember that all adjustable bed mattresses are 6’6″ long whatever there width, unlike normal mattresses which are 6’3″ long so do not order the wrong one or your toes might finish up hanging over the end!

When it comes to selecting the pillows for you bed, if you suffer from ear pain, a specially designed pillow can help to alleviate the pressure put on your affected ear(s) which occurs when you lie down. For effective earache relief, look out for ear pillows when buying the pillows for your new bed. They feature a space in the middle so you can rest without causing pain to your ear.

Make yourself feel better and enjoy a great nights sleep by making sure your mattress on your adjustable bed is fit for purpose!
