Best Adjustable Beds in Canada

Things to Consider when Purchasing an Adjustable Bed Made in Canada

Sizes Available

The first most important factor to getting an adjustable bed iz one's mattress size, because if the mattress doesn't fit on the bed, then it's useless. Adjustable beds come in different shapes and sizes so you should just check for your preferences in each. Some couples might have different preferences for massage and settings, and that is why sometimes they have the option to order Split King size or Twin XL size beds. Some of these beds allow for putting them next to each other. In the list above, you can find different sizes available for each bed. 

Features

The next thing you want to look out for is the number of features that the bed comes with. Some of these features can include LED night lights, zero-gravity position, USB ports, adjustable height, memory positions, and even an alarm for waking you up in the morning. Some beds might actually massage you too. These features are great and they can satisfy many needs you never know you have.Some of them just make the bed cooler but some others are essential things that actually improve your experience on the bed. Here are some of these features.

• LED night light. This feature adds a soft LED light to the bottom of the bed and helps you light up the room at night so you wouldn’t have to turn the lights on in the middle of the night and wake your partner up. Another great usage for them is that they help you clean underneath the bed and make sure no debris is left there. Many adjustable beds nowadays have this option. There are very few of them that don’t, so you should check for that if you want to have this option.

• Zero Gravity. The zero gravity mode is basically when the bed is adjusted in the way that the head is elevated around 10 degrees and the feet are elevated by 30 degrees. This helps the body feel like it is floating in the air and relieves lots of pressure from the spine and the back bones. That is why this position is recommended to people with back pain. It relieves lots of pressure from the pressure points of the body and makes you feel weightless.

• Anti-snoring position. If you or your partner tend to snore, then this position might help you a lot. The reason why we might snore is because the pathway to the long becomes narrow during sleeping. The reason for that can be the head falling lower than the body or being at the same height as the rest of the body. To fix this, adjustable beds can elevate the head a little and keep the neck in a relaxed position where the pathway to the long is not narrowed. This helps the windpipe be at ease and facilitate your breathing. [1]

• USB Ports. You have probably at least once wished that your phone or tablet could be around your bed. That is such a hassle if there is no plug near you bed. Adjustable beds fix this issue by providing a set of USB ports that you can use to charge your phone or tablet. Even though it is not that crucial of a feature, you never know you could have so much more fun having your tablet or phone around you while charging. Some adjustable beds come with two and some with even four USB ports. This way, not only do you have more charging ports in your house, but also there won’t be any competition over who gets to use the ports to charge their devices, especially if you are a couple. 

• Massage Motors. This is another feature that you never knew you wanted out of your bed. Since an adjustable bed is very useful for people with back problems or medical conditions, it can be very beneficial to some people if it also has massage motors. Some adjustable beds provide you with the ability to get a free massage after a long day of work. The massage motors can be on either the head part, the foot part, or both. You can even set the timer for how long you want to be massaged on some adjustable beds. This helps relieve lots of pressure and pain.

Mattress Compatibility

Not all beds match all types of mattresses, so after checking the size and the features, you should check whether your mattress even goes well with your bed of choice. There are different types of mattresses, like innerspring, memory foam, latex, and hybrid. The Puffy bed actually works well with many different types among them, but many other types of beds only go with a certain type. This means that for example, if your mattress is made in a specific way, it might not be compatible with being bent or transferring massage movements. All of this is important when choosing an adjustable bed. However, it might help to know that latex, memory foam or hybrid mattresses go well with adjustable beds.

Remote Control

Back in the day, we had adjustable beds with their controls directly stuck to them. However, nowadays, many adjustable beds have remotes with all the settings that one might need to control the bed movements. Afterall, manufacturers have started to care about the sleep experience and made this change to make it more comfortable for sleepers to adjust their beds. The new remotes are completely wireless and work with batteries. There are different buttons and controls on the remotes, such as the preset positions like zero gravity and reading more, buttons for turning on/off the LED lighting, and the massage controls and the massage timer. If you are a person who needs their remote to have specific settings, make sure to look out for that.

Installing and Assembly

Not everyone has people living with them who can help them move the bed and install it. That is why it is important to make sure the bed that you are choosing has the option to have people over at your place to install the bed for you. That is called a white-glove delivery option, which is not always available so you’d have to check whether it is offered by your selected company. If the white-glove delivery is not an option, then you might want to ask someone to help you with the installation of your selected adjustable bed. Maybe the installation process is easy and you can do it all by yourself. All this information is addressed by the manufacturers, so make sure to check it out.

Weight Limit

The weight limit might actually be one of the most important things you check in your selected adjustable bed. If the bed can’t handle your mattress weight and your body weight, then it is practically useless. If you are a couple trying to choose an adjustable bed, make sure that the weight handled by the bed is not less than both of your weights combined. You should also take into consideration the weight of your own mattress. Mostly, beds that can handle anything more than 650 are fine for the average couple, but each case is different.

Weight

Not only is the weight limit a subject of discussion, but the weight of the bed itself is important. This is crucial because you might have to handle it yourself and carry it to your own room. Plus, this information about the weight might actually help you in choosing which room to install the bed in. Usually, adjustable beds weigh around 140 to 280 pounds in the case of king size and queen side adjustable beds. So, make sure the room handles the weight of the bed and the mattress together.

Noise

Last but not least, noise is one of the things that can completely ruin the experience of a brand new adjustable bed for you. Even though you might not think about it when purchasing an adjustable bed, it can cause lots of trouble later. We know that adjustable beds work with electricity and when making adjustments they might create some noise. This can be troublesome when your partner wants to make some adjustments to the bed at night and you might wake up, or vice versa. So, check this out as the final criterion.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Adjustable Beds

Even though we have mentioned the features of adjustable beds and what they can offer to you, there are still some benefits you can gain from an adjustable bed. Just like anything else, adjustable beds might have some downsides, but per our research their advantages overweigh their drawbacks. Anyhow, make sure you are aware of all of them.

Benefits

• People with different medical conditions like back pain or neck pain can benefit them a lot because of their pressure relieving features through the way they elevate different parts of the body. 
• You don't have to get up the bed to take your phone off the charge to use it. Many adjustable beds nowadays have at least 2 USB ports that you can use to charge your phone or tablet.
• You can adjust the height of your bed. So, if you’re not happy with the original size, no problem. You can always increase or decrease it.
• They elevate the head and keep your windpipe at ease away from pressure and weight. This can help people with a snoring condition.
• They also come in Split King size for couples who have different preferences when it comes to using the adjustable bed. This allows them to sleep next to each other while having their own sleep position.

Drawbacks

• Some adjustable beds don’t go well with different types of mattresses, like innerspring or hybrid ones. They might also not go with the mattress that you already own.
• They are not that durable because they are an electronic device and sooner or later they will need repair due to constant use of electricity.
• Not all adjustable beds are easy to install, and sometimes there is a need for help to assemble and install one. That is why you might need to look out for white-glove delivery or find someone who can help you.

Even though these problems exist, there are many cases where people actually have found a way to deal with them or completely fix them. That is why you don’t have to let go of an adjustable mattress and its health benefits because of some hardships.
