ADJUSTABLE BED INFORMATION & ADVICE
How do Adjustable Beds Work?
Adjustable Beds provide a range of health benefits. Whether you're suffering from back or joint pain, sleep apnea or chronic snoring, or simply a restless sleeper, BLA Adjustable Beds can provide a deeper, more restorative sleep. Let's take a look at how Adjustable Beds provide a better sleep than flat beds, and a better lifestyle choice for modern day living.
A Better Sleeping Position
The best way for you to sleep isn’t on a flat surface. A flatbed causes your body to shift into cramped positions and causes improper posture as you sleep. If you’re suffering from back or joint problems, your flatbed will make these worse.
Our bodies have pressure points in our shoulders, back, hips and legs. On a flatbed, these pressure points aren’t supported which is why we tend to toss and turn. Sleeping on your side in a flatbed can also cause problems with breathing and circulation, and even worse, poor, unaligned sleep positions put pressure on your heart.
Adjustable Beds with memory foam mattresses mould to your body and let you find a sleep position that reduces pressure on your joints and improves your blood flow, which means your heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood around your body while you sleep.
SUFFERING FROM TYPES OF BACK PAIN,
ARTHRITIS OR PINS & NEEDLES?
How To Sleep With Back Pain
Trying to get to sleep when you have back pain can be very difficult. It can be
hard to find a comfortable position that provides the right support for your spine.
Twisting and turning can make things worse, causing more pain and stiffness
throughout the night and into the next day. So what is the best way to sleep with
back pain?
Well, the truth is that a flatbed may not provide the proper support for your spinal
cord, resulting in excess pain and restless sleep. A flatbed causes your body to
shift into cramped positions and causes improper posture as you sleep. If you’re
suffering from back or joint problems, your flatbed will most likely make these
worse.
Our bodies have pressure points in our shoulders, back, hips and legs. On a flatbed,
gravity is pushing down on those pressure areas which is why we tend to toss
and turn. Since the dawn of time this is all that people have known when they go to buy
a new bed. It is a flat mattress so you sleep on your side to get comfortable and
the cycle continues for the next 7-8 years until you are ready for a new bed again.
SUFFERING
FROM SNORING, SLEEP
APNEA OR OTHER RESPIRATORY ISSUES?
How to reduce snoring &
get a better night's sleep
Roughly 45 per cent of adults snore. That's a lot of noise pollution. Not only does it mean that you, the snorer, often aren't getting your most restorative sleep, it also means your partner isn't sleeping well either
What is snoring?
Effectively, snoring is noisy sleeping that occurs occasionally or every night. When you sleep your throat muscles relax, your tongue falls backwards and your airway narrows causing your throat walls to vibrate. The vibration is known as snoring, and it can be a gentle sound or very loud.
Factors that contribute to snoring include being overweight, nasal problems, drinking alcohol before bed, allergies, and, you guessed it, your sleeping position.
What are the best sleep positions to alleviate snoring or potentially stop it all together?
The best sleeping position to help with snoring involves raising the head of your bed to open up your airways and reduce pressure on our throat muscles. This prevents blockages in your airways.
But raising your head by stacking pillows high can cause you to wake up in uncomfortable positions with a stiff neck, and may not provide you with the restorative sleep that you need.
