Looking for the right adjustable bed can be a challenge; you need to consider all of your or your family member’s requirements to ensure that all aspects of the adjustable bed are right for you. From adjustable bases, types of mattresses, costs, fabrics and control types.

Pre-purchase
Understand adjustable beds. Realize that there are many different parts to the adjustable beds including the mattress, base and control panel. There is a chance you will be buying some of the key parts separately, so understanding the different parts is an important consideration you need to make, ensuring everything is compatible.
Outline why you are buying this type of bed. What are your needs/requirements and what specific part of your body or life would you like it to benefit. From promoting better breathing to reducing pressure points on the body to make you back or neck feel better, there are slightly different features of beds that require your thought.

Sleep patterns
Sleeping patterns and positions will dictate whether you buy a certain adjustable bed over another. You should consider how you spend most of your sleep duration – in specific positions and how the bed will cater for your preferences. Consider how many pillows you use.
Are you sharing the bed with someone else? If so you should consider their health situations, patterns, comfort level – and how will you compromise?

Mattress type/support
Do you prefer thick and soft mattresses? Or do you sleep better on harder, thinner ones? These are factors you need to consider when working out what is best for you. Adjustable bases, memory foam, stuffing type – latex foam, air mattress etc and much more should all be explored.

Once you've decided on the type of mattress, you should also consider specialised pillows. If you often suffer from ear pain, the ear pillow offers ear ache relief due to its design which features a hole in the centre for your ear to be placed. Feather pillows offer luxury, but require maintenance to remain comfortable.

Size of bed
What size would suit your needs, while fitting the room that it is located in? Work out where the adjustable bed is going to go – for example in a single room, or large room. This will dictate whether you opt for a twin, queen, king, single, large single adjustable bed or dual bed type.

Budget
How much can you afford to spend on an adjustable bed? There are many different types of adjustable beds, with cheaper ones normally a poorer quality. It is widely considered as ‘get what you pay for’ when it comes to purchasing adjustable beds. We’d always recommend going for a quality bed, as they will last much longer, provide you with prolonged comfort levels and prove to be a worthy investment, normally aesthetically pleasing over cheaper types.

Consider the décor of the room the adjustable bed is going into. Does the bed match color schemes, window designs and other furniture? Is the bed easy to clean and change? There are all things worth thinking about before you dive in a make a purchase. It is a good idea to look at the beds in person, before ensuring that the decision you have made is the best for a long term investment in this large single adjustable bed.
