homeAnatomy of An Adjustable Bed
Have you ever wondered what you'd see if you looked beneath the covers of an adjustable bed? The modern, consumer adjustable bed is a far cry from the old-fashioned hospital beds on which they are modeled. While the basic principle and purpose are the same, there are some radical differences between hospital beds and the adjustable bed you'll buy for your home. These are some of the features you can expect in an adjustable bed frame for your mattress.
- Adjustable beds are powered by an electric motor which is totally encased and designed to operate almost silently.
- Adjustable bed frames for the home bend at three or five points. This allows for elevating the head and back, the knees and the feet separately.
- The works of the adjustable bed frame will be fully enclosed in the bed base, making it look like a standard bed base.
- Most adjustable beds use "wall-hugger" technology, which raises the head of the bed and moves the mattress back along the runners. The advantage to a wall-hugger adjustable bed frame is that the bedside tables remain within reach when the head of the bed is fully elevated.
- The controls for an adjustable bed may be built in or attached to the frame itself. Some adjustable beds use a wireless controller instead.
- Some adjustable bed frames have a power failure feature which automatically returns the bed to the flat position if the power goes out. This makes it easy to get out of the bed in the event of a power failure.
Be sure to ask which features are included in the adjustable bed that you choose so that you can be sure of getting the right adjustable bed for your needs.
