Do I Really Need an Adjustable Bed?
Sleep is vital to our success in life.  Frankly, we cannot function without it.  So what should we do if we are not sleeping well?  There are several things we can do to help us sleep better, including cutting out caffeine, relaxing before bed, and even talking to a doctor.  However, sometimes the answer to our problems is as simple as changing our bed.  You can change your mattress of course, but our issues can go beyond that.  Sometimes an adjustable bed is the best solution.
The Head
Often sleeping flat or with only our head raised causes more sleep issues than we realize.  Breathing problems, back problems, and leg discomfort can all be a problem.  You can adjust pillows all you want, but if you have allergies, a head cold, or other sinus problems you are still not going to be able to breath.  We resort to sleeping in a chair or recliner in these situations, but if the problem is chronic this Is not a reasonable answer.  An adjustable bed will allow you to adjust the entire upper half of your body so that these problems are much more manageable at bed time.
The Legs
Legs are often a source of discomfort at bedtime.  They can ache and twitch, both which can often surprisingly be relieved by simply elevating them, or elevating the knees.  An adjustable bed allows for this at the touch of a button, without fighting pillows under your knees or feet in the middle of the night.  This not only helps you sleep better, but reduces interruptions to your bed partner as well.  Adjusting your side of the adjustable bed is much less disruptive than the one person pillow fight.
The Back
Low back pain is one of the most common ailments among men and women.  Sleeping flat on your back without any lower back support only exasperates he problem.  The ability to adjust the mattress to a sleep position that better supports the back can be life changing for those suffering from this kind of pain.
There are other options that can have the same effect as an adjustable bed.  Recliners and extra pillows in various positions all get the job done, but they do not get it done nearly as well as adjustable beds.  Sometimes you just need something more.  Sometimes you need an adjustable bed.
