March is National Bed Month in the UK, so what better time to look for ways to improve your independence and comfort in the bedroom? We spend a huge amount of our lives in bed, so it is important that we treat these spaces with as much care and attention as we treat living rooms and kitchens.
A good bedroom should provide you with not only a comfortable night's sleep, but also the confidence to take care of yourself without compromise - true independence starts the moment you wake up in the morning.
Adjustable beds are certainly not just for people with extreme mobility issues either - like a riser recliner, they provide just enough gentle support where needed to make your life a little easier and more comfortable. If you're one of the 50% of Brits with a television in your bedroom, you'll also benefit from an adjustable bed.
Many people are starting to appreciate the restorative powers of a comfortable bedroom, with new trends such as "bed rotting" going viral on social media, and a resurgence of the old Scottish hurkle-durkle too. People are starting to appreciate spending a day lounging in bed, reading, relaxing, and experiencing mindfulness.
Get a helping hand from an adjustable bed
The most important feature of your bedroom is the bed itself. If you've ever been in need of a hospital stay, you will already be familiar with adjustable beds and how they provide both comfort and support.
So, how can an adjustable bed help you?
- Circulation & Comfort - An adjustable bed can get you into the perfect comfortable position.
- Better sleep - Greater comfort means better quality sleep. Also, a raised bed can help with issues such as sleep apnoea and acid reflux, both of which are major causes of poor quality sleep.
- Seamless Transitions - You can go from lying flat to sitting upright with the press of a button - no need for assistance or extra pillows when you want to sit up and read, watch television, or eat a meal in bed
- Effortless Standing - Adjustable beds also help you to get up out of bed; by lifting your torso, they allow you to more easily swing your legs out to stand up.
- Easier 'Loo Runs' - Needing the loo in the night is a major cause of disrupted sleep, so the quicker you can get to the bathroom and back into the warmth and comfort of your bed, the more refreshed you'll feel in the morning.
Modern adjustable beds are designed to provide the same level of support as a hospital bed, with a bed frame that can lift your back into a comfortable sitting position, or elevate your legs to aid circulation, as well as looking like a normal bed.
We sell three types of adjustable bed at CareCo. We have the classic profiling beds, which are most like hospital beds, but with a modern wood finish. These are the best option for anybody who is being cared for in bed, as they can rise up and down.
Our Signature Comfort Home Care Bed is designed for those who want the versatility of a traditional care bed combined with a little luxury and style.
Signature Comfort Home Care Bed
The second type of bed is the standard electric adjustable bed, which is an entry-level adjustable bed designed to allow you to raise the back or feet for good posture. Our Harmony adjustable bed is currently the only model we sell online. It's a fantastic entry-level electric bed in 3ft or 4ft widths, and comes with a contouring mattress designed to always sit perfectly on the bed in any position.
Finally, we sell our Ultimate Comfort range of beds, which come equipped with superior mechanisms for faster and more responsive adjustments, and a range of upholstery and finishes to match any standard premium bed.
These beds also have a range of upgrade options, such as motion-sensor night lights, smartphone app control, memory functions to save your favourite positions, and additional motors for perfect lumbar, neck, and foot support.
Other Bedroom Mobility Aids
For ultimate comfort and mobility in the bedroom, you need to look beyond the bed. Other accessories that can help improve your sleep quality include bed rails, mattress protection, heated blankets, and bed steps.
