Adjustable Beds 2

Why buy an adjustable bed?

On a flat bed, the shape of the body along with the natural curvature of the spine causes pressure which, in healthy people results in a large amount of movement during sleep. This movement transfers the area of pressure and prevents pressure sores. In people with restricted movement, this natural transfer does not happen, and this is what causes painful and distressing pressure sores.

How Adjustments can Help

Raising the Feet

Raising the feet, causes the pelvis to rotate, which flattens out the curve of the spine in a natural way. More of the body is in contact with the mattress, spreading the weight over a larger area and reducing pressure. Reduced pressure means greater comfort, fewer body movements and a lower risk of developing pressure sores. Raising the feet also transfers pressure from the bony heels to the fleshy calves, greatly reducing the pressure at the heels. This position is recommended for the following conditions:oor circulation

	Muscular Problems
	Easing rheumatic pain in hips, knees and ankles
	Sciatica
	Fluid retention
	Varicose veins

Raising the Head

Raising the head with the feet level reduces tension in the abdomen, reduces breathing difficulty, and takes pressure off the spine. This position is recommended for the following conditions: Breathing problems

	Asthma
	Bronchitis
	Hiatus Herniaper and lower back problems.

Raising the Head, and Legs (Contour Position)

Raising the Head with the feet raised puts the heart at the same level as the feet. Therefore the heart is not having to pump against gravity, and is put under less stress. This position combines the benefits of both the other positions, and is also unbelievably comfortable. This position is recommended for the following conditions:

	Muscle aches and pains in all parts of the body, shoulder tension
	Rheumatic aches and pain in pressure areas
	Spinal disorders, hip problems
	Stress and tension
