Questions & Answers

• What is an adjustable bed?

  Adjustable beds offer an excellent choice for sleepers with mobility problems and those who like to spend time in their bed. Electric adjustable beds enable people to take control of the shape of their sleeping environment, often helping people to achieve optimum comfort levels whether that be for sleeping, resting, or watching television, reading etc.

• Do adjustable beds look like hospital beds?

  Style does not need to be compromised for practicality when purchasing a Dunlopillo adjustable bed. While providing all the benefits of a hospital bed, unlike in previous years, adjustable electric beds no longer need to look like them!

• What are the benefits of buying a Dunlopillo adjustable bed?

  Adjustable beds can help improve posture and relieve aches and stresses on the body which leads to pain reduction and better overall health. An adjustable bed can help relieve the aches and pains of staying in bed for prolonged intervals (whether this be through health reasons or lifestyle choices) by affording the user the ability to move position whenever they start to feel uncomfortable. Other benefits of using an adjustable bed include: * Easier access (getting in and out of bed), * Better circulation, * Pain reduction by pressure point relief, * Improved posture (spinal alignment), * Superior sleep - while it may not be a cure for insomnia, if you are struggling to sleep because of comfort issues then the multiple positions offered by an alterable bed could fix the matter and lead to more refreshing rest.

• Do you need a special mattress for adjustable beds?

  Not all mattresses are designed to be used with adjustable beds, therefore, it is important that you check your mattress is compatible to be used with an adjustable bed base prior to purchase. The movement of the bed can easily damage a regular mattress and make it uncomfortable to sleep on, so using the correct type is essential for getting the most out of your investment. Non-innerspring mattresses are typically compatible with adjustable beds; however, our bed experts will be able to advise further. We have a wide variety of adjustable bed mattresses in all sizes from single to super king size and tensions ranging from soft to firm, so you should not have any difficulties finding the right mattress for your electric adjustable bed.

• Is an adjustable bed good for your back?

  Back pain can often make achieving a comfortable sleeping position difficult. Sleepers who are struggling to get or stay comfortable on a flat mattress might find an adjustable bed a better alternative. An electric, adjustable bed allows sleepers to rest at a slight incline and to bend their knees at a slight angle, both of which can help to alleviate discomfort.

• How much electricity does an adjustable bed use?

  The amount of electricity used will depend on how frequently you adjust your bed frame as current is drawn when the bed is being raised and lowered. The good news is little power is needed when the bed is being adjusted.
