Cheap Adjustable Beds

Cheap Adjustable Beds in the UK: Let the Buyer Beware

Cheap adjustable beds are widely available in the UK. While the price may be tempting, buyers need to be careful about the quality of any adjustable bed they're considering purchasing. Here's a brief FAQ (frequently asked questions) from Laybrook about this type of bedding.

Q. Aren't all adjustable beds the same?

A. No, there are wide variations in both construction and quality. The best adjustable beds have a sturdy steel frame made from heavy gauge metal. On quality beds, the adjustable bed frame is welded rather than bolted, making for stronger joints that will better withstand the stress of use. Although the mattress on an adjustable bed is generally lower in height than a conventional mattress, it is designed for maximum comfort. It's also possible to add a custom mattress when you purchase an adjustable bed.

Q. What size adjustable bed should I buy?

A. That depends on your sleep habits and whether you share your bed with anyone. A single or super-size single will be perfectly adequate if you sleep alone and don't shift position often. If you have a sleep partner, buy the largest size adjustable bed frame and adjustable bed mattress you can afford. Also, be sure that the bed has independent controls for each side, so that you and your partner can customise the bed and fine-tune the comfort.

Q. Will the adjustable bed fit in with my bedroom furniture?

A. Many people think that an adjustable bed looks like the beds they see in hospitals. The truth is that electric adjustable beds are now designed to compliment any décor or style of furniture, even kid's bedroom furniture. Customers can generally choose from wood, metal or leather in a variety of colours and styles. Metal bed frames are often painted. White trimmed with gold accents is a popular option. Wood bed frames are also available with a paint finish. Again, white is a best-selling colour. Platforms are popular styles and have the bonus of storage drawers built into the lower section of the frame.

Q. What kinds of accessories are available for adjustable beds?

A. Memory foam pillows that cradle yet support your head for a restful and deep sleep experience are good options. Another popular accessory is a variable massage system with several massage points built into the mattress that gives a head-to-toe massage. Massage can help with circulation problems, arthritis pain, neck and back pain. If you're recovering from surgery, the increased blood flow that results from the bed's massage feature will expedite the healing process. For kids furniture, you can add cot sides that prevent the child from falling off the bed. Grab rings that help you sit up or get out of bed are also available.

When shopping for a new bed in the UK, avoid the temptation to consider cheap adjustable beds and opt for the best adjustable sleep system you can afford.
