There are multiple factors to consider when purchasing an adjustable bed. Comparing the different models of Leggett and Platt adjustable beds shows just how many features and accessories are available, but how do you know what you need? The first and most obvious question to ask yourself is what function you need the bed to fulfill. Are you looking to purchase an adjustable bed because the doctor recommended it or because you like to read in bed at night? If it is prescribed by a doctor, sometimes insurance covers the purchase and sometimes it doesn’t. Your physician can tell you what functions you will need the bed to perform. Will the primary purpose be repositioning or lifting the occupant? Not every adjustable bed will do both. How much time will be spent in the bed? Will spouses be sharing the bed? How often will the bed need to be repositioned? A second thing to consider is where the bed will be located. Do you want it to be flush with the wall? Will you use a head board you already own or will you need to allot space for a new one? On what type of surface will the bed sit? The motors are strong enough to move the casters over carpet but will repetitious movement damage the carpet? Keep in mind that Leggett and Platt adjustable beds are sold without mattresses. Some consumers choose to purchase the mattress first. You don’t want a mattress that is too stiff to bend into the desired positions. Neither do you want a mattress so soft it offers no support and creases after being bent. There are three basic types of mattresses: air, foam, and the traditional coil and spring. Each has pros and cons when being...

As you begin your journey in choosing Leggett and Platt adjustable beds to use within your home, it is important to know what to look for. Depending on your individual needs, you will need to figure out what features you absolutely need, which ones would be nice to have and which ones you don’t want at all. In general, most adjustable beds will offer the same basic features with a few extra ones to consider so you can get the most comfort. One of the most important purposes of an adjustable bed is the ability to adjust the bed. Not only will the bed raise and lower in one piece, you can adjust the three individual sections as well. You can easily elevate your feet or head, as well as adjust the middle of the bed. While most people simply adjust the head or foot of the bed, you can use any combination of the three sections to find the position that works the best for you. You don’t need to use the same position all the time either. Leggett and Platt adjustable beds can also provide the right kind of support for those who spend a significant amount of time in bed. When a mattress is too hard, it can cause unnecessary stress on pressure points, which will result in even more pain. However, if the mattress is too soft, you won’t get the support you need to be comfortable either. Adjustable beds often have just the right density for the best support. Perhaps one of the greatest features of the adjustable bed is the ability to adjust at the touch of a button. You don’t have to worry about wrestling with the bed to create just the right position for you. All...

Your sleep can be greatly impacted by the conditions in your bedroom. You may already know that it is important to keep the environment dark and quiet, though some people sleep better with a little white noise as well. Temperature can be another important factor that can affect your sleep. A mattress cooling pad can help keep your bed cooler, thus helping you sleep. There are three main types of these mattress pads. One type of cooling mattress pad is made from special material that is made to wick away any sweat or other moisture to help keep you cooler while you sleep. This material won’t result in extra bulk in your bed and will allow you to sleep comfortably so you get the rest you need each night. However, you will want to wash this type of pad often. Another type of mattress cooling pad is an electric mattress pad. The electricity heats up water inside the mattress pad. A small pump then circulates this water through the thin tubes inside the mattress pad. You are able to adjust the temperature so you can find the temperature that is the most comfortable for you. When you are able to stay comfortable throughout the night, you will be able to sleep better. Because of the pump, this pad does emit some noise, but no more than your average white noise machine, which can also help you sleep. You can also purchase a mattress pad that will automatically detect your body temperature and adjust its own temperature to help give you the sleeping conditions that will give you the best sleep possible. In this case, you don’t need to worry about having a mattress pad that runs all night long. It will only adjust the...
