Adjustable mattress foundations and Zero bases are more popular than ever.


Are you struggling to find room in your house for everyone? Do you notice yourself propping up pillows in the bedroom so you can sit up to watch TV? Are any other members of the family trying to spend waking hours in bed because they need space to relax?

An adjustable base makes your house feel bigger

More families than ever are discovering how much more comfortable space their homes seem to have when every member of the family is content to lounge in their bedroom comfortably. Adjustable bases take the place of a standard box spring. The head and feet portion of the mattress foundation are controlled to lift so you can sit up in bed or elevate your feet for better back and hip alignment.

Sleeping on an adjustable mattress base is better than sleeping flat but many back and neck strains are caused even before bed when young students or parents prop their heads up to finish homework assignments or watch TV. 

Our backs always benefit when we can provide proper alignment and support to allow muscles to relax and avoid strains. Avoid the pain.

Never stub your toe on the coffee table in the middle of the night again

If you sometimes find yourself walking through a dark house after falling asleep in the living room on a couch or chair just think of how much better your back would feel if you fell asleep in an ergonomic lounging position in bed. With one touch of your remote control your bed, not you, will move and adjust to your sleep position if you happen to wake up before it’s time to start your morning.

Enjoy time alone with your partner in the most comfortable spot in the house.

You may be struggling to make alone time with yourself and your partner.
Let the family have the family room. Partners love watching TVs, tablets, reading, or cuddling in a relaxed lounging position in bed. No more strained necks from contorting to see the TV. Try an adjustable base and make yourself comfortable. Give your family a little bit of space so you can max out your time to relax. Adjustable bases are available in twin sizes as well. If you are tired of losing the living room to your kids, an adjustable base can make their rooms more desirable with better positions available for browsing computers or completing homework.

If you feel adding additional comfortable space in your house would provide some benefit check out an adjustable base. Many adjustable bases have convenient features like charging ports so if you like to work or play on electronic devices late into the night you can keep going from the comfort of your reclining adjustable mattress set.

Whether you are looking for better alignment when you sleep, more comfort while you watch TV, more space to enjoy a movie or a book with your partner or a better spot for the children to do homework an adjustable mattress can be the perfect solution for maximizing the space of your home.

Fibromyalgia or Chronic Arthritis? Relief Can Come From Your Mattress.

By: Dave Robben

During my nearly decade in the bedding industry, I have come across countless consumers actively seeking a solution for their chronic widespread pain. Many find it nearly impossible to even get out of bed in the morning.

For those people suffering from the debilitating effects of conditions such as chronic arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even osteoporosis, mornings can prove more difficult for most than any other part of the day.

According to the American College of Rheumatology, fibromyalgia affects between 3 and 6 million Americans. It primarily occurs in women of childbearing age, but children, the elderly, and men can also be affected. There is no “cure” for fibromyalgia, there are just suggestions of how to “manage the pain.” Fibromyalgia causes constant pain through the body. This pain can be heightened by long periods of sitting, laying or inactivity.

Outside of the helpful prescription medications, many are finding relief in their sleep system. Those who are affected by these conditions often suffer through the night due to their extreme hypersensitivity to pressure. While there have been tremendous strides in mattress technologies, most affected with these conditions are still sleeping on a surface constructed of hundreds of metal coils that are designed to push back against their body. This typically leads to pain and restless nights of tossing and turning.

Luckily, there are now many options in the marketplace that offer specific solutions to those afflicted with these conditions. New mattress models that offer proper back support and excellent pressure relief are becoming more and more commonplace. Some new mattress models are specifically constructed for people with fibromyalgia and additionally some even carry the Arthritis Foundation’s “Ease of Use Commendation.”

If you are struggling through the pain of one of these conditions, relief can be as simple as a new sleep surface. In your situation, the true definition of support is the “absence of pressure.” I would recommend consulting with your local sleep specialist and explaining your condition. A new mattress coupled with pain management could help you achieve a more normal and active lifestyle.
