Electric Beds for Disabled & Elderly Individuals

Shop here for electric beds

Electric beds are an excellent solution for disabled and elderly individuals who require adjustable, comfortable, and supportive sleeping arrangements. Our electric beds offer a range of features that make it easier for disabled and elderly individuals to get in and out of bed, as well as adjust their position for optimal comfort and support.

Electric Beds FAQ

What Are the Advantages of an Electric Bed?

Adjustable beds are becoming an increasingly popular option as they offer a variety of benefits:

• Electric beds allow you to adjust your elevation at the push of a button, making it simple and easy to find a sleeping position that's right for you

• Elevation can help to reduce the discomfort caused by pressure on your joints

• Getting in and out of bed can be made easier by adjusting elevation levels, making electric beds a good choice for the elderly and those with mobility issues

Can You Put Any Mattress on an Adjustable Base?

Many suppliers produce mattresses designed specifically for use with electric beds, as traditional mattress springs may bend and kink as you adjust your bed's position. These mattresses are typically made of flexible materials such as memory foam and latex, allowing them to bend and flex in line with your adjustable base.

When choosing your mattress, it is recommended that you opt for a model that is designed with electric bases in mind to avoid damage and ensure that you see the full benefits of your adjustable bed.

Can I Use Regular Sheets on an Adjustable Bed?

Regular bedsheets are intended to lay flat and tucked beneath your mattress, and so may come loose when used on an adjustable bed. It is recommended that you use deep-fitted sheets or sheets with fasteners to prevent them from slipping off the edges of your mattress when elevating.

Can You Put a Headboard on an Adjustable Base?

Electric beds often come with a headboard that can be attached directly to their frame. Where this is not the case, size-compatible headboards can be purchased and attached separately, as is the case with regular divan beds.

You may be required to make adjustments when fitting your own headboard such as adding brackets, and so it is important that you follow any installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.

How Long Do Electric Beds Last?

The average electric bed would be expected to last for approximately 10 years, though this may vary between models and manufacturers. There are steps that you can take to prolong your adjustable bed's lifespan, with most manufacturers providing recommendations for proper maintenance and care.

Any mattress paired with an electric base will have its own lifespan, and should be replaced separately when required.

Do Adjustable Beds Help Side Sleepers?

Adjustable beds can be a good option for side sleepers as elevation can help to reduce pressure on your neck, shoulders and hip. Electric beds can offer a range of sleeping positions, allowing you to find a sleeping position that is comfortable for you.

It is also important to consider the firmness of your mattress and take into consideration your individual needs to ensure a good night's sleep.
