Adjustable BedsPublished on Mon 29th Jul 2019
If you are someone who suffers from back ailments, you will know how debilitating it can be. As well as interfering with daily activities, the condition can also make sleeping more difficult. And it’s an extremely common condition that can affect people of all ages. Usually, the best type of bed for bad backs and back pain is an adjustable bed.
While most people think that an injury or medical condition is the primary cause of back pain, more often than not it is triggered by poor posture. Sitting, standing or lying in the wrong way can all inflict pain on this group of muscles.
Many beds can actually worsen back problems by placing excessive strain on vulnerable areas. An adjustable orthopedic bed, on the other hand, can help to alleviate a number of medical conditions, such as back pain, and make a real difference to your everyday life.
Finding a bed that provides you with adequate support may be the key to helping you achieve a restful night’s sleep. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the ways an adjustable bed can help with back pain.
As the name suggests, an adjustable bed can move into various positions, allowing you to find your optimum sleeping posture that causes the least amount of discomfort. Adjustable beds can also help people who feel more comfortable sleeping in an inclined position, rather than lying flat on a regular mattress.
Many medical professionals recommend sleeping on an incline to help relieve backache. Especially for people suffering with lower back pain, sleeping on a slight incline with extra support under the knees can help to take the pressure off the spine, making it easier to sleep.
Not only will an upper body incline and elevated knees effectively support the natural curve of the spine, it can also help to stimulate blood circulation and reduce inflammation of damaged tissue. If you sleep on your side, an adjustable bed can keep your spine properly aligned while in this position.
Many people choose to use pillows to prop up the upper body or place under the knees, but this can cause an uneven amount of support and result in further discomfort in certain parts of the back. What’s more, most people move around while they sleep, meaning that they will often return to an unsupported position during the night. Investing in an adjustable bed offers a more long-term and reliable method of supporting your back while you sleep.
These beds can also offer better support for people with spinal disorders by reducing joint compression, preventing you from feeling sore and stiff when you awake. An adjustable bed can also be helpful for patients who have undergone back surgery, as a flat mattress will often aggravate the problem and cause tension to build in pressure points.
If your back pain has affected your mobility, getting into and out of bed can be more of a challenge than it should be.
Electrical adjustable beds utilise innovative technology that can help to ease the transition from standing up to lying down – a movement which can be extremely difficult for people with back problems. With this added freedom, you can adjust, recline and raise your head to achieve your desired position, perfect for reading a book or watching TV.
The best adjustable beds for bad backs don’t just contour to your body – they also have built-in features to help relieve those aches and pains. Our adjustable beds come with the option to build our revolutionary cyclo-therapy massage technology directly into the bed frame.
With a choice of easy-to-use massage settings, at the touch of a button you can receive a soothing back massage in bed to help you drift off at night. Alternatively, you can choose a higher setting to ease aches and pains if you want to increase your pain threshold and improve mobility issues.
My wife and I love our adjustable bed, she feels much better in the morning, puts her in a better and positive mood. I can set up the bed in the right position and it helps us both so much, it helps the circulation in my legs and I can see improvement in myself.
The bed helps her condition, elevates her health and de-stresses her; it’s a real good thing to see.

There is no single bed or mattress that will offer effective relief for all people who suffer from back pain. Above all, it’s important to find a sleeping position that offers you the most comfort and the least amount of pain. When it comes to sleeping regimes, it really is a matter of personal preference.
However, there’s no denying that an adjustable bed with various settings will increase your chances of finding a comfortable sleeping position without causing additional strain. While you may require ongoing medical treatment to help with your condition, having an adjustable bed can provide you with the long-term support and comfort you need to get a good night’s rest.
