Discover the health benefits of an adjustable bed system
Stylish, supportive, and designed for optimal comfort, adjustable bed systems enhance mobility, promote restful sleep, and help improve overall wellbeing. We speak to Greg Smart, CEO of Vencasa, a leading provider of sleeping solutions, about the transformative health benefits of adjustable bed systems.
Creating a functional and comfortable living space for the elderly or mobility-challenged can be immensely rewarding yet challenging. The bedroom, where most time is spent when mobility becomes an issue, often presents one of the greatest challenges. Space is often at a premium in this room, especially if the bed is larger than a conventional single bed.
One of the most overlooked aspects when furnishing these rooms is the mattress and bed itself. Given the amount of time, mobility-challenged individuals spend in bed, choosing the right mattress and adjustable bed system should be a top priority. “An adjustable bed system isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s a key to improving quality of life,” explains Greg Smart, CEO of Vencasa, a company that specialises in providing high-quality adjustable bed systems, mattresses, and sleep accessories designed to enhance comfort, support, and overall wellbeing.
Health and practical benefits of adjustable beds
Adjustable beds offer a range of health benefits, such as alleviating acid reflux, sleep apnea, and poor circulation by allowing users to adjust the bed to an optimal position. Elevating the head or legs can reduce back pain, improve breathing, and enhance sleep quality. “Adjustable beds are more than just a luxury—they’re a necessity for many,” Smart emphasises, “They provide the flexibility needed to accommodate various health conditions, making them invaluable.”
The Postureflex Adjustable Bed System from Vencasa for example, is an excellent choice for customisable comfort. Manufactured in Germany, this fully manual adjustable bed features tension zones for optimal spinal support, allowing users to adjust the bed to their specific comfort needs.
For advanced technology, the TEMPUR Premium-Flex 2000 RC Massager Adjustable Bed System is ideal. This system’s flexible dishes move with your body for optimal support and provide excellent mattress ventilation. The silent motors effortlessly adjust the shoulder and foot zones and do not produce magnetic fields, ensuring a peaceful and healthy sleep environment.
If you’re looking for something unique, the Wallhugger Adjustable Bed System stands out. Also manufactured in Germany, this bed base lifts you up while gliding you back, keeping you in line with your bedside pedestal. The Wallhugger system features ventilation between the discs, reducing moisture in the mattress and resulting in fewer allergies.
Why choose an adjustable bed system?
An adjustable bed system offers several key benefits beyond mobility assistance. Vencasa’s adjustable bed systems cater to couples, offering options which allow each side to be adjusted individually—perfect for partners with different sleeping patterns or preferences. “Just because it’s an adjustable bed system doesn’t mean it has to look clinical or unattractive,” says Greg, “At Vencasa, we make sure our beds are stylish, on-trend, and designed to blend seamlessly into any bedroom décor.”
He notes that when furnishing these spaces, it’s essential to consider both functionality and comfort: “Consider things such as a memory foam mattress for example, like those offered by Vencasa – these allow users to remain in one position for a long time without discomfort or pressure, reducing the need for repositioning, which may not be possible without assistance. These high-quality mattresses also promote active blood circulation that can go a long way to helping prevent bedsores.”
The heart of assisted living
The bed is often at the heart of the assisted living experience, so making the right investment in an adjustable bed system and mattress can transform the quality of life for everyone involved. Greg concludes: “With the right support and comfort, an adjustable bed system can ensure restful, healthful sleep, improving overall happiness and wellbeing. Vencasa’s range of adjustable bed systems and memory foam mattresses offers the perfect combination of comfort, support, and practicality for those in need.
