Here are some of the basics you'll need to know about adjustable beds:
What is an adjustable bed?
If you have never heard of an adjustable bed before, it is a movable foundation that can adjust the position of your head and feet, so you can always be comfortable in bed.
The concept of adjustable beds has been around since Ancient Rome — back then, they looked more like today's adjustable poolside chairs than what we think of as a bed. The first electric adjustable bed was invented in the early 1900s by surgeon Willis Gatch, who was working at the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Contrary to popular belief, gone are the days where an adjustable bed base only is reserved for medical uses. In the last several years, adjustable beds have become one of the most common bedding accessories: more and more people are taking advantage of their sleek, user-friendly designs to get a better night's sleep.
An adjustable base can move a mattress into a variety of positions — from reclining to inclining — and can help sleepers with pain, sleep issues or even those just wanting to feel more comfortable in bed. And what's better, you can purchase an adjustable bed base only, as most work with any mattress, including one you may already own!
