High Quality Adjustable Beds

Adjustable electric beds function through a mix of mechanical, electrical, and sometimes hydraulic systems. They feature moving parts like hinges and joints powered by electric motors, allowing bed sections to move, particularly the head and foot areas. Users control these adjustments using a remote, which may be wired or wireless. Modern adjustable beds can also include extra features like massage motors, heating pads, and smart home connectivity. The frame of these beds is designed to support the moving parts and the weight of the mattress and users. Special flexible mattresses, like memory foam or latex, are recommended for compatibility with the bed's movements. 

Adjustable electric beds are beneficial for a wide range of individuals, particularly -

• People with Certain Medical Conditions: Individuals suffering from conditions like sleep apnea, acid reflux, edema, or chronic back pain can benefit from adjustable beds. Elevating the head or legs can alleviate symptoms and improve comfort.
• Those with Mobility Issues: Seniors or people with disabilities that affect their mobility may find it easier to get in and out of an adjustable bed. Adjusting the bed to a higher position can reduce strain when standing up.
• People with Chronic Pain: Those with conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia can adjust the bed to find the most comfortable position, potentially reducing pain and discomfort.
• Snorers or Sleep Apnea Sufferers: Elevating the head can help open up airways, reducing snoring and the effects of sleep apnea.
• Those Who Enjoy Leisure Activities in Bed: People who enjoy reading, watching TV, or working on a laptop in bed can benefit from the adjustable head section for better support and comfort.
• Individuals Recovering from Surgery: Post-operative recovery often requires specific sleeping positions, which an adjustable bed can facilitate.

While adjustable beds offer numerous benefits, it's important for each individual to consider their specific health needs and consult with a healthcare provider if they have any medical concerns before making a switch to an adjustable bed.

Adjustable electric beds can be beneficial for side sleepers due to their customisable support, which allows for better spinal alignment and reduced pressure on hips and shoulders. The ability to adjust the bed's angle can enhance comfort, especially for those who alternate between side and back sleeping. Elevating parts of the body can help distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points. These beds also offer health benefits like reduced snoring and improved circulation, which can be advantageous for side sleepers with specific health conditions. 

However, the choice of mattress is also important; options like memory foam or latex are often recommended for optimal support and comfort. Ultimately, the suitability of an adjustable bed for a side sleeper depends on personal preferences and individual needs.

You can attach a bedhead or headboard to an adjustable bed, but it's important to ensure compatibility and consider a few key factors. First, check if the bedhead (headboard) is compatible with your adjustable bed frame, as some beds have specific brackets or mounting systems. Freestanding or wall-mounted headboards are generally more suitable since they don't interfere with the bed's movement. If attaching the headboard directly to the bed frame, ensure it doesn't obstruct the bed's adjustable features. The installation process can vary, so you may need special brackets or hardware. Additionally, consider the aesthetics and functionality of the headboard, ensuring it complements your bed and room. 

Dreamland offers a range of stylish bedheads. If you're unsure about the compatibility of a headboard with your adjustable bed, it's a good idea to consult our team. Visit one of our stores in South Australia or call us for advice.

Not all mattresses are suitable for adjustable beds. The key factors to consider when choosing a mattress for an adjustable bed include - 

• Flexibility: The mattress must be flexible enough to bend with the bed's adjustments without damage. Memory foam and latex mattresses are ideal due to their flexibility and durability. Some innerspring mattresses with individually pocketed coils can also work, as can hybrid mattresses combining pocketed coils with foam or latex.
• Thickness: A mattress thickness of 20 to 30 cm is typically best for adjustable beds, as thicker mattresses may not flex as easily.
• Size and Weight: The mattress should match the size of the adjustable bed and not exceed the weight limit of the bed's motor.

Traditional firm mattresses, regular innerspring mattresses without flexible coils, and excessively thick mattresses may not be compatible with adjustable beds. Check with the Dreamland team to ensure you have the right mattress when buying an adjustable bed.

Electric beds often require sheets with specific features to ensure they stay in place and accommodate the bed's movement. Key considerations for sheets for adjustable beds include -

• Size and Fit: Choose the correct size, preferably deep pocket sheets, to accommodate the mattress and its movements.
• Corner Straps or Elastic Bands: Sheets with corner straps or elastic bands help keep them secure as the bed adjusts.
• Flexibility and Durability: Opt for materials that are both flexible and durable to withstand frequent movement and bending.
• Quality and Comfort: Select sheets that offer the comfort and quality you prefer, such as cotton, bamboo, or quality blends.

While there are special sheets designed for adjustable beds, regular sheets can also work if they meet these criteria, especially regarding size and elasticity. It's important that the sheets are easy to adjust and stay securely in place as the bed moves.

Using a pillow with an adjustable electric bed is generally recommended for added comfort and support, especially for the neck and head. While adjustable beds offer great support and can help align your spine, a pillow provides an extra layer of comfort needed to maintain proper neck alignment. The choice of pillow depends on personal comfort preferences and sleeping position. For example, a thinner pillow might be more suitable for back sleepers with the head of the bed elevated. There are also specialised pillows designed specifically for use with adjustable beds, which can conform well to the bed's adjustments and enhance its benefits. Ultimately, the need for a pillow on an adjustable bed varies based on individual comfort and support needs.

Adjustable electric beds typically require some assembly upon delivery, with the extent of this assembly varying based on the bed's brand and model. The basic assembly process generally involves attaching legs or the base to the frame, setting up the motor and other mechanical parts, and configuring the remote control system. While some adjustable beds are designed for easy, tool-free assembly, others may require more effort and the use of tools.

The beds come with detailed assembly instructions, and the necessary tools are included. However, having basic tools like screwdrivers and wrenches on hand can be beneficial. We can offer professional assembly services for those not comfortable with DIY assembly or those with mobility limitations. This service can be particularly convenient, ensuring the bed is set up correctly and safely. Contact our stores to ask about the service.

The "wall-hugging feature" in adjustable beds is a design aspect that allows the bed to maintain its position close to the bedside wall as it adjusts. 

In a standard adjustable bed, when the head section is raised, the entire upper portion of the bed moves forward, away from the wall. This can create a gap between the bed and wall-mounted items like bedside tables, making them harder to reach. In contrast, a bed with a wall-hugging feature slides back as the head section is raised. This movement keeps the bed closer to the wall and any bedside furnishings.

The wall-hugging feature allows easier access to bedside tables and other items by maintaining this closeness. You don't have to reach as far to grab things like a phone, book, or a glass of water.
