They are known for their promise of enhanced comfort and customizable sleeping positions.
These innovative sleep systems have captured the interest of people who value their personalized comfort and want to improve their sleep.
Let’s explore the world of adjustable beds and look at the expectations and reality to decide whether these beds live up to the hype.
What is an Adjustable Bed?
An adjustable bed is often referred to as an adjustable bed base.
It’s a sleep system that allows users to elevate various mattress parts to create customized sleeping positions. These beds are equipped with motorized mechanisms that let users adjust the angle of their head, feet, and body alignment.
The primary purpose of adjustable beds is to provide comfort and reduce common sleep-related issues like snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.
Adjustable Beds: Do They Help?
Adjustable beds offer a promising solution for improved sleep quality and enhanced comfort.
Let’s look at the expectations vs. reality regarding whether adjustable beds help improve sleep quality.
Expectations: Improved Sleep Quality and Health
Adjustable beds are touted as a solution to various sleep-related problems.
These beds are often marketed to reduce discomfort by allowing users to find their optimal sleeping position. Be it elevated for breathing ease or with legs raised for improved circulation.
With the ability to customise sleeping positions by elevating different parts of the mattress, these beds can alleviate common sleep-related issues such as snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.
Whether adjustable beds truly help can be answered with a resounding yes.
Reality: Evidence-Based Benefits
The reality aligns with the expectations.
Adjusting the bed to provide better support for specific body areas can reduce chronic pain and improve comfort during sleep.
How to Choose an Adjustable Bed?
With various available options, choosing the right adjustable bed requires careful consideration.
Here are some factors to keep in mind:
Motor Quality and Noise. Opt for beds with high-quality motors that operate. Noisy mechanisms can disrupt your sleep and lead to frustration.
Mattress Compatibility. Ensure the adjustable bed is compatible with your existing mattress, or choose one that pairs well.
Number of Adjustable Zones. Look for beds that allow you to adjust different areas for personalised comfort.
More Features. Some adjustable beds include massage settings, USB ports, and under-bed lighting. Decide if these features are important to you.
Warranty and Customer Reviews. Research the manufacturer's warranty and read customer reviews to get insights into real-world experiences.
Adjustable Bed vs. Regular Beds: A Comparison
The differences go beyond aesthetics when comparing adjustable beds to regular beds.
Adjustable beds offer versatility and customisation that traditional beds often cannot match. The ability to adjust the angle of the head and feet can cater to specific sleep preferences and address various health concerns like snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.
Regular beds provide a fixed sleeping surface without the adaptability that adjustable beds offer.
While adjustable beds offer personalised comfort and targeted support, traditional beds still have their place, especially for individuals with simpler sleep needs.
Expectations: Enhanced Comfort and Flexibility
The primary expectation when comparing adjustable beds to regular beds is that the former offers enhanced comfort and flexibility.
The ability to customise your sleeping position is believed to be a game-changer, particularly for those with specific health concerns or preferences.
Reality: Personalized Comfort and Support
The reality is that adjustable beds do indeed provide a level of comfort and support that traditional beds often can't match.
The adjustability factor can cater to different sleeping positions and reduce discomfort, improving sleep quality and well-being.
Reduce Tension and Sleep Better
In the world of sleep solutions, adjustable beds have proven to be more than a marketing gimmick.

With $10,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, it's up to you to decide who deserves the title of 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero.
So have a read of the nominations below and cast your vote...
Mary & Sam Danielson - The Puketapu Hotel
Hawkes Bay
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Ian Harvey (& Des Banks) - Flower Bazaar
Christchurch
'I'd like to nominate my local florist, Ian and Des at Flower Bazaar on Innes Rd, Chirstchurch. The friendliest guys you could meet, always supporting their fellow retailers in the area and going above and beyond for their customers. They know my family well, and when my mother sadly passed away last July they even went out of their way to close the shop and come to her memorial service. With cost of living issues for a lot of us nowadays, it can't be easy for small businesses, especially those not selling everyday essentials. It's important we support each other and keep these little guys afloat. I can't sing their praises enough. I hope they win something, they really do deserve it.'
Vivienne Shepherd - The Glass Button Tailor
Whangārei
'The proprietor of this business is so kind. She will come to your home or business to discuss your need for repairs alterations or bespoke requirement. As it is often impossible to give a quote for work to do with tailoring she will give a guesstimate, if her time exceed this figure, she will charge that figure no more. But if the work takes less time, this will be the figure. Also, a client who eventually came to Vivienne had taken, a dress she very much liked, to another repair and alteration business who messed it up. Vivienne adjusted to fit well, straightened the one to straight back seam as well as other adjustments. She spent hours on it but charged well less than this time, due to empathy for the disappointment created by the bad job. Vivienne Shepherd is truly focused on doing the best by her clients. She definitely pursues excellence.'
Aaron Hickmott - Master of Gingerbread
Palmerston North
'He consistently turns out a wide range of biscuits on the shelves in both standard AND gluten free versions - he's our go-to when we need a treat to take to dinner at a longtime friend's place who requires gluten free food. His specialty is gingerbread of course and he sells Gingerbread House kitsets to people all over NZ!
The shop is small but inviting and he keeps loyalty cards for regular customers, bonus treats! I only found out recently that he struggled with dyslexia and left school early, but is a born baker and has gone from strength to strength. Long may he practice his craft!'
Alicia Sinclair & the Team - Atawhai Industries
New Plymouth
'Definitely Atawhai Industries New Plymouth. Great crew and management. Prompt service, experienced skilled workers who are cheerful and polite. I was very impressed with the dangerous job they had to do for me and will definitely be calling them for future work. They do so much for the community and help get work for people who would otherwise have difficulties.'
Jitesh Patel - Creswick Foodmarket
Wellington
'I'd like to nominate Jitesh & Hine at Creswick Foodmarket, Northland. Their tidy shop has everything one might need. And if what I am looking for is not there, they consider bringing it in for me. This avoids a lot of travelling across town for me. They also are very community-minded, contributing quietly to events and kids club. I'm glad they are in my community.'
Nicola Read, John Read & Team - Read Bros - Hardware
Thames
'I'd like to nominate Read Bros in Thames. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. If it's not in stock they will order it in for you. There you get treated as a person, rather than a number.'
Paul Ayers - Ayers Shoes Repairs
Dunedin
'I'd like to nominate Ayers Shoe Repairs in Hillside Road of Dunedin. They repair many things, not just shoes. Paul does a great job at a very reasonable price. They rang me as soon as my job was ready to collect. They are friendly and helpful.'
