In modern sleep solutions, adjustable beds have gained significant attention.

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.


When searching for top-notch adjustable beds in New Zealand, Beds4U is your ultimate choice.


With their thoughtfully curated collection of adjustable beds, experience unmatched comfort and support for a revitalising night's sleep.


Discover Beds4U's range for a refreshing and pain-free start to your mornings.

At $868,877, it is down a marginal 0.6% on April last year. The national average asking price has remained below $900,000 since December 2022, a significant decrease from the market peak in January 2022 when it exceeded $1 million.

“As we move into the winter months, we typically see a cooling market, and in 2024, this is combined with a softening economy. It will be interesting to see how these factors play out for the property market in the coming months,” says Sarah Wood, CEO of realestate.co.nz

It is the story of how a tiny, ancient, impoverished and battle-scarred nation in the centre of the Mediterranean opened its arms and hearts to care for thousands of wounded, traumatised and sick young Anzacs, many of them still teenagers, who arrived aboard a flotilla of blood-soaked hospital ships from the battlefields of Gallipoli.

While most of the 57,950 soldiers evacuated to Malta recovered and eventually left, some 202 Australians and 72 New Zealanders did not, and are in war cemeteries across the archipelago.

Apart from their graves hewn from the parched, rocky Maltese earth, there is little other physical evidence the Anzacs were ever in Malta, despite the enormity of their presence over a century ago.

The voyage across the Eastern Mediterranean in these makeshift hospital ships from the Gallipoli Peninsula to Malta was not an easy one. It took the steam ships up to eight days to cover the 1163-kilometre journey.

At the beginning of April 1915, there were 824 military hospital beds in Malta. At the end of May 1915, there were more than 6000 in 14 hospitals spread all over the island. At its peak there were 25,522 beds in 28 hospitals, with the highest number of patients on any one day a staggering 16,004.

We will remember them 🥀 🌺
