Adjustable Beds for Better Sleep: 5 Questions to Ask Before Buying

A good night’s sleep isn’t a luxury - it’s essential for your health, comfort, and overall wellbeing. If you struggle with getting comfortable in bed, waking up sore, or managing health conditions such as poor circulation, arthritis, or back pain, an adjustable bed could transform your rest and recovery.

At Independent Mobility, we help our customers find the perfect sleep setup for their needs. Before investing in an adjustable bed, here are five key questions to ask to make sure you choose the right one.

What Sleeping Position Works Best for Me?

Adjustable beds allow you to raise or lower the head and foot sections, helping you find your ideal sleeping position.

• If you suffer from acid reflux or snoring, raising your head slightly can help relieve symptoms.

• If you experience leg swelling or poor circulation, elevating your feet may provide relief.

Tip: Try different positions in-store - our experts will help you discover what feels best for your body and health.

Do I Need a Single, Double, or Dual-Control Bed?

Adjustable beds come in various sizes, from compact single beds to spacious king-size dual models that allow each person to control their own side independently.

If you share a bed with a partner, dual-control adjustable beds are ideal - you can both enjoy personalised comfort without compromise.

At Independent Mobility, we stock a range of single and dual adjustable beds, all designed for smooth, quiet movement and long-lasting comfort.

What Type of Mattress Is Compatible?

Not all mattresses work with adjustable bases. You’ll need a flexible mattress that can move with the bed frame without damage.

We offer high-quality memory foam, pocket sprung, and latex mattresses made specifically for adjustable beds - providing excellent support that adapts to your body and movements.

Tip: Choose a mattress that offers pressure relief and breathability for maximum comfort and durability.

What Features Should I Look For?

Modern adjustable beds come packed with helpful features - but which ones do you really need?

Popular options include:

• Wireless remote controls for easy adjustments

• Massage and vibration settings for muscle relaxation

• Under-bed lighting for added safety at night

• USB ports for convenient charging

Our knowledgeable team can demonstrate these features in-store, helping you decide what suits your lifestyle best.

Your adjustable bed is an investment in your health - so it’s important to know you’ll have support after your purchase.
