There are many ways that we, as a culture, have gotten lost in too much technology; but there is one field where technological advancements have improved all of our lives: in our sleep. Since the invention of the mattress, improvements are constantly being made. Some, like the waterbed, may have been a bit of a step backwards, but no one can argue that we are much better off now than we were a hundred years ago.With the tried and true application of coils in mattresses, and the newer addition of memory foam, we are all getting a better night’s sleep. The only thing that can make these perfected styles of mattresses even better is the addition of an adjustable base underneath. If you’re not familiar, adjustable bases go under your mattress and allow it to move the head section and feet section, individually, up or down. They take the place of your box spring and, whatever holds it up (although you can still place the entire thing in a normal bed frame for aesthetics); they work with most memory foam mattresses and any spring mattress where the coils are individually pocketed.
Adjustable bases are not only luxurious, but are actually quite practical and have many benefits. Nowadays, many of us choose to read, watch TV, and even use our laptops in bed. With a base that adjusts both the head and feet, you will have no need for extra pillows for “propping,” and the particular angles you get from this type of bed create better blood flow and higher relaxation. This is just the beginning: there are countless examples of how adjustable bases are one of the greatest technological advancements, giving better sleep to seniors and all ages alike.
