Adjustable beds weren’t just made for hospital patients. They were made for anyone who wanted the controls to a healthier lifestyle. From increasing circulation and oxygen levels to positioning your body in a specific manner for injury purposes, Sealy Adjustable Bases were built so that sleeping could be made better.

Instead of placing numerous pillows under your feet to raise your legs, you can push a button to elevate it. You can even change the setting to both sides of the bed so both you and your partner can sleep the way you want.

Combatting Injuries and Illnesses

Like I said before, adjustable beds weren’t just made for hospital patients, but they do aid health and healing. Fowler’s position, a 45-65 degree sitting-position, was created for hospital patients to improve and assist breathing after surgery or even childbirth. With a Sealy Base, Fowler’s position is easily achieved.

With the chest and head elevated, acid reflux and heartburn are also less likely to occur. If you happen to suffer from circulation or swelling issues, elevation can help alleviate the problem as well. Having an adjustable base can be an instrumental part of your life especially during recovery.

Customize for Couples

Sharing a bed isn’t always easy if you both prefer to sleep in uniquely separate ways. One person may try to steal all the pillows in order to get enough neck support while propped up, while the other just wants to sleep with their legs slightly elevated.

A Sealy Tuxedo Adjustable Base splits down the middle allowing each person to experience different ergonomic positions, without using any pillows at all. Both people can control their bed’s side and even save certain positions to their favourites all with a wireless remote.

Having an adjustable base can help relieve back pain, assist with circulation, and improve your breathing. So, while you may not need a Sealy Tuxedo Adjustable Base, your body will only progress with one. Give your body the ergonomic support it wants with an adjustable bed base from our mattress department.

Smart Sleep

Monitoring your sleep is extremely easy. By simply placing one of the Beautyrest Sleeptracker devices under your mattress bed, it will instantly be ready to accurately track all of your body’s movements. All you need to do is go to bed, wake up and voila! Information from the Beautyrest Sleeptracker app will be at your fingertips.

There is no need to wear anything such as a watch – simply being on your bed is enough for the sensors! Once you have laid down, your heart and breathing rates, REM sleep, and body motion are precisely monitored. It can even identify the second person in your bed and not get you two confused.

Why This Is Good for You

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep. With a system that provides total body analyzing when asleep, there should never be a reason a sleep issue goes undetected.

For example, the Beautyrest Sleeptracker allows you to receive reports from your “sleep coach” informing you of your sleep efficiency so that you are always aware of improvements or setbacks with your sleep habits. The sooner a problem is brought to your attention by the Beautyrest Sleeptracker, the sooner you can resolve it.

Polysomnography is a sleep study conducted overnight in a sleep lab which measures brain activity, eye movements, blood pressure, heart rate, body movements and much more while you sleep. The results would determine if you suffer from a sleep disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep-related issues which can be detrimental to your health.

If you suffer from snoring, gasping for air while you sleep, or extreme daytime sleepiness then, you are the perfect candidate to participate in a sleep study. Sleep disorders not only affect your quality of sleep at night but your awake hours as well.

One of the most disruptive daytime symptoms I recall my partner suffering from was his excessive sleepiness. It would happen at the worst times like driving, at work, at dinnertime with the family, and other events. He would miss out on so much in his life because he had the constant need to sleep. Irritability became his normal which affected the whole family, and as such he resisted for a long time to see a specialist. Only when his medical practitioner pointed out to him that his blood pressure was on a steady rise, his cholesterol levels were also elevated, and he looked 20 years older than he should have, did he decide to take control of his health.

There was a choice of 3 different sleep study tests that were offered to him, namely:

1) Polysomnogram, which as mentioned earlier, tests you while you sleep,

2) Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT), which measures how alert you are during the day, and

3) Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), also conducted during the day which measures how sleepy you get during the day while being tested, and can also measure if the equipment used to help your disorder is yielding results.

He chose the Polysomnogram and made the arrangements at the Sleep Clinic in a nearby hospital. He prepared as though he were going on an overnight trip, and once he arrived, they settled him into a small room that looked like your average bedroom. To get an accurate reading, no preparations are to be done beforehand as the technicians need to measure all the usual steps you take to get ready for bed. He was eventually hooked up to a variety of wires and electrodes all over his body and face, including a microphone to measure the sound of his snoring. Another technician began her work behind the glass wall.

As he slept, the technician watched all the readings including blood pressure, body movements, heart rate and recorded irregularities. By the morning, he woke up, signed some papers, and came home. Several days later, his medical practitioner advised him that he indeed was suffering from sleep apnea and recommended he uses a CPAP machine which delivers a stream of compressed air via a mask, every night.

Although it took some getting used to, just knowing what was affecting him and seeing a measurable improvement in his health, was well worth the trouble. Now that he has more energy during the day, he has made some lifestyle changes including, weight management with a healthier diet, and more exercise. Other recommendations for improving his sleep quality now include an adjustable bed which reduces the amount of time he needs the CPAP. The MLST is showing that he is getting sufficient sleep and his awake hours are better than ever!
