Adjustable Beds for Couples with Different Needs

With many couples, it holds true that opposites attract. Often times, you will have partners that prefer to sleep in different positions partners that have different ailments, and partners that prefer different mattress firmnesses.

One of the best advances in bedroom comfort is proving to be the Adjustable Bed. It is helping many people manage symptoms of disorders such as fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, acid reflux, poor circulation, etc. Even those that are just looking for extra pampering can take advantage of the many features and benefits such as

-Being able put your feet up after a long day
-Sitting up and reading or watching TV without straining
-You can get a massage in bed
-Positioning your self in ways that aid comfort. For instance, those with acid reflux -prefer the head up slightly, whereas those with poor circulation prefer the feet up.
-You can experience the renowned Zero-Gravity position
-You can completely customize the way you sleep, and even live!

Since couples are two different people, usually with different needs, adjustable beds also come in split models. The most popular is the Split King Adjustable Bed. Two individual Twin-Long size units attach at the base and are able to move independently. For instance, if you have one partner with acid reflux and one with poor circulation they are obviously not going to be comfortable sleeping in the same manner. The person with acid reflux can adjust the head of the bed up and the person with poor circulation can adjust their feet upwards to promote circulation and even get a massage before bed!

This is also beneficial when you have one person that may prefer a firm latex bed, and one that prefers a soft memory foam bed. For maximum comfort, it suggested to keep mattress heights equal, but the materials and firmness of the mattress on each side can be personalized.
