Why Adjustable Beds Are Perfect For A Better Night’s Sleep

Choosing a bed can be both an exciting and a difficult decision, as you have to consider sizes, materials and styles. If extra support and comfort is important for you to get a better night’s sleep, our adjustable beds can offer customisable comfort to ensure you have a great night’s sleep, every night. 

In this guide, we’ll break down why our adjustable beds make a great option for you, as we outline their key features and who benefits from them, as well as any myths and misconceptions. So let’s get started with understanding the technology behind our adjustable beds. 

What Is An Adjustable Bed?

You’d be surprised to know the history behind adjustable beds, as they date back to the early 19th century in Britain. It wasn’t until the mid-1940s where the first motorised adjustable bed was invented, which had a major positive impact on modernising hospitals during the war. Since then, this technology has made its way into our bedrooms, becoming a game changer for people’s sleep throughout the years. 

Our adjustable beds are designed with a remote control so you can change the position and height where you sleep. They have two programmable positions, so your bed remembers your favourite sleeping and relaxing positions! Plus, they’re easy to assemble and come in different fabrics and finishes, which really have an impact on your sleep quality.

At Aspire, we offer a variety of adjustable beds in a range of sizes and styles, to ensure you experience maximum comfort. With a 5 year warranty, we’re confident that our adjustable beds will give you a great night’s sleep every night, as we believe it’s an important way for you to be your best from day to day.

Key Features Of An Adjustable Bed

You can find the right sleeping position with a click of a button on the wireless remote control, adjusting the bed to different heights and positions. The smart technology is programmable, remembering your sleeping positions for anti-snoring, elevating legs for more circulation and back pain reduction.

The adjustable bed has also been designed with a backlit keypad that doesn’t interfere with your night vision. Too many bright lights and screens can interfere with your circadian rhythm, so we have made our beds with backlit technology that doesn’t stop you from getting to sleep. 

In our range of adjustable beds, we offer 3’ft singles to 6’ft superkings, so we have options for solo adults or couples that want to stretch out!

Who Benefits From An Adjustable Bed?

There are many people who benefit from adjustable beds, thanks to the customisable sleeping positions and extra support. 

Many elderly individuals who are looking for that bit of extra support tend to go for adjustable beds since they can elevate their sleeping positions. While there are sturdy bed frames and excellent supportive mattresses out there, these adjustable beds are great for heightening the head position for better breathing, and elevating the legs for improved circulation.

Our adjustable beds can also be a great option for couples who would like undisrupted sleep. The silent technologies in the bed ensure that you don’t disrupt your partner throughout the night, so they don’t get woken up if you need to get up! You also don’t have to worry about you and your partner’s different routines, as the adjustable bed allows one of you to read a book or watch TV upright as your partner snoozes away. 

Thanks to the elevating settings on the bed, many people who experience back pain or are healing from surgery go for the adjustable bed option. This enhances their sleep quality because elevating the bed takes pressure off the lumbar region in the back, which generally alleviates the pain. So if you regularly have back pain and it’s making you toss and turn in the night, the adjustable bed could be the right option for you. 

The adjustable bed is also a great option for pregnant women who are in need of an improved night’s sleep, as they can choose the desired setting that’s the most comfortable for them. If you’re heavily pregnant, the sleeping positions can be adjusted to take any pressure off of the back, hips and pelvis, allowing you to have a more restful night's sleep. We understand how important sleep is for you as well as your baby’s development, so we recommend the adjustable bed for improved support. 

A lot of our adjustable beds are made from velvet, which is a great material for those who have allergies. Of course, you can select your own desired fabric finish, but we find that velvet is a very tight weave that can deter dust mites. Regularly hoovering and cleaning the adjustable bed is also a great way to help prevent some allergic reactions and improve your sleep quality.

Mattresses For Adjustable Beds

If you have decided to go for an adjustable bed, finding the right mattress is also an essential way to improve your sleep quality. Not all mattresses are suitable for an adjustable bed, so we recommend choosing a memory foam or certain hybrid mattresses due to their malleability. The flexibility of the mattress allows it to have the full range of motion as the bed changes levels, so you can enjoy your breakfast in bed when you sit up in the morning. 

Memory foam mattresses get to know your body’s shape, sleeping positions and contours over time, which not only make them great options for the adjustable bed, but for other bed bases as well. The viscosity of the mattress makes you feel supported and comfortable, allowing you to sleep better over time.

Common Myths About Adjustable Beds

Adjustable Beds Are Just For The Elderly

The common misconception with adjustable beds is that many people are led to believe they are just for the elderly, when in reality, anyone can benefit from an adjustable bed. If you’re simply someone who is looking for that bit of extra support, an adjustable bed is the perfect option to get the right position for you and an improved sleep.

They Cost Too Much In Electric Bills

Many people believe that adjustable beds are expensive and take up too much electricity, but our beds take up just as much electricity as a small TV. You can have a stress free, relaxing night sleep without having nightmares about those high electric bills! 

They Don’t Look Stylish Like Other Beds

Another myth is that adjustable beds don’t look as stylish in modern homes as the conventional bed. At Aspire, our adjustable beds look seamless in the bedroom. Thanks to their discrete design, optional fabrics and headboards, they are just as stylish as other beds. Having a tidy aesthetic and comfortable bedding is proven to drastically improve sleep quality - if you would like more styling tips for your bed and bedroom, we’ve got you covered. 

They’re Too Noisy

Some people are a little bit apprehensive when it comes to purchasing an adjustable bed, as they worry it might be too noisy during the night. We understand that having as much minimal noise as possible is important to get a restful and relaxing night’s sleep, so our adjustable beds have been designed with near silent actuators. You can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep without getting interrupted by whirring machine noises!
