Double Adjustable Beds

Experience Ultimate Comfort with 4ft6 Double Adjustable Beds

Double adjustable beds offer flexibility and comfort by allowing users to adjust both the head and foot ends of the bed. This adjustability can be especially beneficial for those with health conditions, mobility issues, or anyone seeking a customised sleeping experience. Here we will discuss the benefits of double adjustable beds, sometimes called mobility beds, the different types available, the underlying mechanisms, and the factors to consider when purchasing one.

Benefits of Double Adjustable Beds

The key benefit of double adjustable beds is the ability to customise the bed's position to suit personal preferences. By adjusting the head of the bed, users can alleviate symptoms of acid reflux, sleep apnoea, or snoring. This adjustment can also be beneficial for those with respiratory issues, as it eases pressure on the chest and helps with breathing. 

Similarly, raising the foot end can reduce swelling in the legs, which is useful for people with circulatory problems, pregnant women, or those recovering from surgery. This position can relieve pressure on the lower back, neck, and shoulders, offering comfort to those with musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. 

Overall, adjustable beds can have a range of health benefits, such as improving circulation, relieving pressure and reducing aches and pains. They can improve overall sleep quality as combining a high-quality mattress with the ability to move the bed and find a comfortable position to sleep in, will help contribute towards a quality night’s sleep.

Types of Double Adjustable Beds

Double adjustable beds come in various designs. All double electric adjustable beds sold by Archers Sleepcentre use electric motors to adjust the bed's position. This is controlled by a remote, allowing users to easily raise or lower the head and foot ends, offering a high degree of customisation. Some models offer pre-set positions for activities like reading or watching television, and others include massage functions for additional relaxation.

In terms of style, electric adjustable beds are available as both bed frames and divan bases.

Adjustable electric bed frames look like standard bed frames, and come complete with headboard. These take adjustable bed mattresses which are typically around 10cm longer than standard UK mattresses. 

Adjustable divans are available as full sets, with a base and compatible adjustable mattress. Many of these are available with the option to add extras like headboards, storage and massage units. Adjustable bases are also available to purchase on their own if you already have a suitable mattress. 

Mechanisms and Technology

The technology behind double adjustable beds has evolved significantly. Electric motors provide smooth and quiet operation, allowing users to adjust the bed without disturbing others. The remote controls typically have buttons for raising and lowering the head and foot ends, with some models offering additional features like massage settings or pre-set positions for various activities.

Durability and reliability are key when choosing a double adjustable bed. The motors should be sturdy enough to withstand frequent adjustments without malfunctioning. Some models use a single motor to control both the head and foot ends, while others use separate motors for more precise control. In either case, the mechanisms are designed to be durable and should function smoothly for years.

VAT Exemption for Double Adjustable Beds

In the UK, some individuals may be eligible for VAT exemption when purchasing double adjustable beds. This exemption is designed for those with chronic illnesses or disabilities who require specialised equipment for medical reasons. To qualify for VAT exemption, you need to full out a VAT exemption form when buying the bed. This will remove the VAT from the bed base/frame and any mattresses. 

It does not cover any other items on the order, so if the adjustable bed and mattress is bought with a headboard and services like assembly, VAT cannot be removed from these.

Factors to Consider When Purchasing a Double Adjustable Bed

When choosing a double adjustable bed, consider its size and compatibility with your existing bedroom furniture. These beds come in various sizes, so ensure you select one that fits your space comfortably.

The type of mattress is another crucial factor. Adjustable beds require mattresses that can flex with the bed's movements without damage. Memory foam and cool gel mattresses are popular choices due to their flexibility and support. Pocket sprung mattresses can work, but they should be from a dedicated adjustable mattress range so they can flex and avoid damage to the base and mattress.

The quality and durability of the bed's motor and mechanism are critical when purchasing a double adjustable bed. Look for models with robust motors and mechanisms to ensure longevity. It's also important to check the bed's weight capacity to ensure it can support the combined weight of both occupants.

Warranty and customer service are other crucial factors when purchasing a double adjustable bed. A good warranty provides peace of mind and protects against defects or malfunctions. Choose a reputable manufacturer with a history of customer satisfaction and reliable customer service.
