Power beds, otherwise known as adjustable
beds, add another dimension to your bedroom environment
and sleeping comfort. One obvious benefit is the
ability to sit up in bed to read, eat, or watch
television, however adjustable beds also help improve
sleep. The ability to elevate your legs relieves
back pressure, as well as improves circulation.
Allowing your body to rest in a contour, or “fetal”
position, the adjustable bed reduces the need to
sleep on your side, eliminating the added pressure
that comes with side-sleeping. Certain physical
conditions can also be alleviated with adjustable
beds.

A common concern with adjustable beds is that they
resemble hospital beds. However, Ergo features adjustable
bed designs that look like a luxury box spring.
Our adjustable bases come in all sizes and fit nicely
into most bed frames or furniture surrounds. New
technologies also provide whisper-quiet motors for
adjusting positions.

power beds in a range of styles and sizes. All Ergo

The benefits of an adjustable bed are numerous. There are several reasons why traditional mattresses may not provide you with a good night's sleep like an adjustable bed. One of the primary benefits of an adjustable sleep system is that it allows you to sleep in a more ergonomically correct positioning catering to the natural curvature of your spine. By promoting a healthy posture during sleep, many of the discomforts and problems that inhibit a deep and restful night’s rest can be avoided.
Another disadvantage of traditional sleep systems is their lack of ability to evenly distribute pressure over the entire sleep surface. This increases strain on the heart by forcing your heart to work harder to supply nourishing oxygen to your body through the bloodstream. An adjustable bed allows you to adjust your sleep surface to the angles that will reduce strain on the heart and promote proper circulation throughout. As individuals, our bodies have specific needs that can only be met through the customizing ability of an adjustable sleep system.
On a traditional flat sleep system your body is not allowed to maintain proper posture. When sleeping on a flat surface, tension on the muscles and joints is often increased. This greatly reduces the rest and recuperation that your muscles should experience during a full night of sleep. Often to reduce this tension we roll to our side in order to bend our knees and elbows putting ourselves into a neutral sleep position similar to that of Astronauts sleeping in zero gravity. With an adjustable bed you can create this neutral position even while sleeping on your back as well as providing proper, customized support to different areas of your body including: Neck and head, lower back, legs and knees, and even your feet and ankles. Even with proper posture, it may also be beneficial to have a pillow such as a memory foam pillow or cervical pillow that will compliment the benefit you receive from sleeping on an adjustable bed.
In summary, adjustable beds have a distinct benefiting advantage over any traditional, flat mattress system because they provide: healthy posture, pressure relief, proper circulation, and customized support. This can be greatly beneficial to individuals and their caregivers as it allows for a greater restorative and comfortable nights rest that can both improve and better one's life and health.
