Adjustable beds explained
Electric adjustable beds provide proper support and comfort by offering a range of positions. These beds can help reduce pain, giving you maximum comfort while increasing your overall sleep quality.
Choosing a new bed can be a huge decision – particularly if you need it to be adjustable. At Hereford Mobility, we supply luxurious and comfortable beds that can be used for a number of reasons – for example, providing relief from aches and pains.
We’ve long been recognised as trusted experts for adjustable beds, enabling you to make healthy choices for your sleep. We have a wide range of beds available to suit your every need – whether you want a profiling care bed to help with a medical condition, or just need an adjustable bed base to reduce pain when sleeping.
We're dedicated to improving your sleep quality, whatever your needs are. You can call us or visit our showroom, and our expert team will be happy to help.
What is an electric adjustable bed?
An electric adjustable bed has an adjustable back and leg rest. These beds have orthopaedic benefits, allowing you to elevate your back and legs to create additional support, as well as adding extra comfort.
Unlike a standard bed, adjustable beds make it easier to find a comfortable sleeping position. An electric adjustable bed will also provide improved postural support, allowing you to find an ideal sleeping position.
Customisable
Some of the adjustable options you can use to customise your bed include:
- The size of the bed
- The style of bed you prefer
- Your headboard type
- The material used in your bed
- The type of mattress you want to use
Our electric bed frames come with an easy-to-use handset, although a full set of instructions will be provided when you make a purchase. At the touch of a button, an adjustable bed allows you to conveniently change your bed position to provide postural support and the ultimate in comfort.
Electric adjustable beds can be tailored to suit your needs, as they allow you to find a comfortable position for sleeping at night.
Our spines have a natural ‘S’ shape which conventional beds don't conform to, which sometimes leads to back pain. Using your remote control, you can make your bed align perfectly with the curvature of your spine.
Easy-to-use features
The adjustable beds we supply are different to most other electric beds on the market, as they host an array of advanced smart technology, including:
- Smartphone app control
- Massage therapy
- A wall-hugging structure
- Zero gravity & anti-snore features
- An under-bed lighting feature
Please note that light, massage and wall-hugging upgrades are offered as optional upgrades.

How do adjustable beds work?
Each bed comes with a straightforward electric handset that lets you change the orientation of each section of the bed to find a comfortable sleeping position. You can change this yourself or use a selection of pre-programmed positions that have been specially created for ease of use. One example of this is our anti-snore position, which gently elevates your head to open your airways.
The process of using our electric beds is effortless, as the handsets are designed for ease of use. They also have a light feature, and all the buttons are backlit, enabling use in the dark.
We have a range of sizes available to suit every need. If you share your bed with a partner or spouse, you can even buy a split double/twin bed. This gives both people the option to choose their own sleeping positions, as each side of the bed is independent of the other.
A full range of health benefits
One of the main reasons that people buy adjustable beds is due to the positive effects they can have on your health. An electric adjustable bed can increase your overall well-being, as well as better quality of sleep.
One of the main features included within our adjustable beds is the zero-gravity position.
The zero-gravity position was first invented by the American space organisation NASA. It was designed to ease stress on the bodies of astronauts in space, replicating weightlessness. However, it can also have a positive impact on your sleep health on Earth.
Zero gravity is a safe sleeping position and is associated with improved comfort and sleep quality. The zero-gravity position helps to:
- Reduce pain and swelling
- Increase heart health
- Improve your breathing
- Prevent acid reflux from forming
Available as a pre-programmed position on your handset remote, the option of zero gravity is made easy with our adjustable beds.
Some other medical benefits of our electric beds include:
- A decrease in musculoskeletal pain, as well as other orthopaedic benefits
- Increased blood flow to the heart and body
- Diminished sleep apnoea and snoring
- Improved breathing and oxygen circulation, as well as an alleviation of asthma symptoms
- Reduced insomnia
- Reduced leg swelling, oedema and varicose veins
- Less pressure on the back, reducing the risk of pressure sores and ulcers
- Decreased back and neck pain
- Improved digestion
- Relief from arthritis (in some cases, an adjustable bed can actually prevent you from getting this disease)
- Reduced acid reflux and heartburn issues
Signature Comfort
Profiling Bed
- Available in three sizes
- Your choice of headboard style
- Your choice of material
- Your choice of colour
Signature Comfort
Profiling Bed
The Signature Comfort is a popular home care bed that has all the functionality you would expect from a hospital bed whilst being cleverly styled to look homely and unobtrusive. The whole bed raises and lowers and has an adjustable back rest for sitting up in bed and leg rest for elevating your knees or feet.
Adjustable Mattresses
At Hereford Mobility, we also have a massive range of mattresses and other accessories that can help you with your health. If you're worried about pressure sores or pressure on your back causing pain, our collection of pressure care mattresses could be the perfect solution combined with one of our beds.
If you need both a mattress and adjustable bed, or just a mattress for your current bed, we can help. Get in touch with one of our experts.
Added comfort and support
Our electric beds are perfectly designed to help you with your everyday aches and pains, as our exclusive sleep technology will ensure you get a decent night's sleep – which can be difficult when you have a disability or an illness that causes pain when sleeping.
If you suffer from insomnia or find it hard to drift off at night, using an adjustable bed will allow you to change your sleeping arrangements to suit your needs.
By raising the backrest, there is no need to rearrange your pillows or use someone else to help you get comfortable in bed. Our electric adjustable beds also give added support over a conventional bed/mattress, making sleeping much easier.
Improved quality of sleep
One of the main advantages of using an adjustable bed is that it will improve your overall quality of sleep, making you feel a lot more rested than sleeping on a standard bed. If you're uncomfortable in bed, you're likely to change positions a lot, which may lead to you waking up more often.
With our electric adjustable beds, you're sure to have a better night's sleep, as you can use the electric handset to create a comfortable position that suits your needs. On average, you should change your mattress every six to eight years, and studies have shown that getting a new bed and mattress can improve your quality of sleep in general. Sleeping with your legs elevated has many health benefits, such as improving circulation and relieving back pain. You're sure to wake up feeling refreshed every time you go to sleep, ready for the day ahead!
Find your best fit with our selection of adjustable beds
As you can see, we have a lot to offer if you're looking for a new bed, particularly if you have a health condition that a conventional bed might make worse.
At Hereford Mobility, we have something for everyone, whatever your needs are. Optional upgrades and accessories are also available, and any bed can be customised to suit your style of sleep. Our electric adjustable beds are perfect for any sleeper – whether you're trying to find a more comfortable position to sleep in or you'd like to alleviate some pain in your upper body.
