Is it worth getting an adjustable bed?

I noticed that, but wasn't sure about the first two. I thought I recognised the user name, poshpaws.
In saying that I found the information useful, because I have been thinking about buying one. 😉

I reported it too. There are quite a number of them this morning

My husband and I have had a Tempur adjustable bed for the last 7 years. It's a 5' wide with split bases and mattresses so we can both sleep in our own preferred positions.
It's been a life changer for us and I wouldn't be without it!

My Mum and Dad had a dual control one, which was a life saver for Dad as he had emphysema and couldn't breathe lying flat. Mum loved it as she could change position depending on whether she was sleeping or reading or whatever. At the end of her life, when she had cancer, it also proved very useful as it gave her the independence to get in and out of bed unaided for far longer than she would otherwise have been able, and also it supported her when she became pretty much bedridden and wanted to sit up to chat with visitors. It's years ago now, so I'm not sure what competitors are like, but theirs was from Adjustamatic and had a brilliant built in massage function. This is the Adjustamatic website link that i just googled.

Had one for 8years split mattress ,great for us . Purchased from Dreams beds that way was able to see working before only one thing you need to keep in mind , you will not be able to move motors very heavy so have it assembled in right place, plus mattress 2ft6in each

I love mine, need to keep the head raised for breathing issues, and the feet for swelling. We decided to splash out and get a double, hubby sleeps flat, but loves that he can raise his to read or watch tv. Got it from www.electricbedsonline.co.uk/ about 4 years Ok and love it, I have a sprung mattress with memory foam top and it’s very comfortable, been a life changer

They get a bit creaky over time. You can only use a specific mattress for them (not sprung) if you dont like a foam mattress, you might find them uncomfortable.

You can buy “flower pots” at those shops with mobility aids…
They are very effective.

Agree with the above post

It can make a very great difference to your sleep.

Depending on what kind of bed you have it should be possible to find an adjustable bed base for your side of the bed, so your DH can keep his normal sleeping position too.

My parents had one due to my mothers breathing problems,it worked for them.

I needed a bed with a downward slope for my acid reflux disease. I used old breeze blocks found in the garden to raise the head end . I have kept that arrangement for years.
