Innerspring Adjustable Bed Mattresses

The spring system within the mattress must be designed to accommodate folding on particular intervals in order for the mattress to work properly. Therefore, not an innerspring mattress will do. There are a number of brands that provide mattresses with this in mind and most adjustable bed frames are designed with particular fold points. The primary manufacturer of the adjustable bed frames is Leggett and Platt and most mattress manufacturers will accommodate to those dimensions.

Some leading brands for this type of mattress are Sealy, Serta, and Simmons as well as sleep comfort who make a variety of mattresses suitable for adjustable beds.

Latex Adjustable Bed Mattress

Latex mattresses have really surged onto the market with many health benefits as well as typically strong warranties. The beds will last a long time and are antimicrobial which are perfect for any health related bed rest. Another benefit to the latex mattresses is that they will generally conform to any shape that they are put under. So, any latex mattress that is sized properly for the adjustable bed frame will do. It really comes down to the level of comfort you desire for the actual mattress. This is convenient for testing out mattresses because most mattress stores will have a wide selection of latex mattresses, but often a limited selection of innerspring adjustable bed frame mattresses.

Memory Foam Adjustable Bed Mattress

Since memory foam is so pliable these, like the latex mattresses can be used without concern of flat or adjustable bed frame being used. Memory foam has several advantages for comfort and has seen massive success in recent years for mattresses. However, there are a few disadvantages as well. The first is that it tends to trap moisture, which can be quite uncomfortable for some users should they be sweating much while they sleep. There are also often some offgassing of the materials for a period of time after purchase. Comfort levels are extremely versatile as the mattress has a great variance potential in firmness, based primarily on deflection, resilience, weight, and tensile strength.

Air Adjustable Bed Mattresses

There is a great benefit in these beds as they commonly have the ability to adjust the firmness level on the fly with a remote control system. This is really great for being able to find comfort no matter how you need it at particular times. The adjustable air mattresses have to be designed for the frame since not all air mattresses will work properly and are not designed to handle the pivot points. However, the air beds themselves are great for their versatility in firmness levels. Since the pressure within the air mattress remains constant throughout, pressure points are significantly reduced and thus increase circulation ensues. The bed of course must be adjusted in firmness to ensure the adequate back support is provided based on the individuals weight.

Dual adjustable air mattress beds are also common with each side being able to control the firmness for the individual sleeping on it. This is perfect for couples who each have their preference to firmness levels and also minimize the “bed shake” from getting in and out of beds by their partner.

Select Comfort specializes in the adjustable air mattresses and have a number of adjustable bed mattresses. They are famous for their “sleep number” system and have dual adjustable air mattresses.

All in all, an adjustable bed is a valuable addition to your sleep comfort. For many baby boomers, these mattresses allow for maximum comfort to help maintain health and wellness and can add value to your day to day life.

So what makes these beds so appealing?

1. Does not disturb your partner: Independent cell construction means that your partner does not move when you move.

2. Relieves pressure points: Particularly in the hips and shoulders the latex mattresses relieve pressure points allowing for better circulation to the arms and legs.

3. Better moisture wicking: The open cell structure of the latex mattress allows moisture to move away from your body allowing you to not overheat. This is a big advantage over other foam mattresses such as memory foam which does not have very good breathability which often results in waking up sweaty.

4. Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic: Good news for allergy sufferers, these beds prevent mildews, molds and dust mites from becoming a problem, meaning better sleeps with less irritations. Conventional mattresses can be a great environment for bacteria growth which increases risk to immune deficiencies and potentially becoming sick more often. latex mattresses naturally prevent the development of these deleterious critters.

5. Durability: A quality latex foam mattress will outlast any innerspring mattress on the market today. Some manufactures have 30 year warranties on their latex models because there is far less mechanical break-downs that can occur with springs. This means you’ll be sleeping in comfort for many years to come without needing to replace the mattress as often.

6. Customizable: Latex mattress cores are made by creating a core that has holes punch through it. Depending on the size and frequency of these holes, the firmness changes. Although custom mattresses are more expensive, if you are planning to have the mattress for a while, it might not be as outrageous as you might imagine.

All things considered, latex mattresses are miles ahead of other mattresses on the market today. I personally sleep on a latex mattress as I think they are the best mattresses available.  Like everything else however, not all latex mattresses are made equal.
