There’s nothing better than waking in the morning feeling refreshed and energised after a good night’s sleep. Essential for our health and well-being sleep rejuvenates the body and mind and prepares us for the day ahead.

What is an adjustable bed?

Adjustable beds, also known as Motorised Adjustable Beds or Adjustable Electric Beds, can be adjusted into various positions to make sleeping more comfortable.  By changing the position of the bed using a remote control, most Adjustable Electric Beds can be adjusted to raise the upper end of the bed which in turn lowers the back and head, or the lower end of the bed can be raised to lower the legs.

Motorised Adjustable Beds are available with specially designed mattresses and are made to standard bed sizes – including small single, single, double, king size and super king size. Some manufacturers may make bespoke beds and tailor them to individual needs. At Dalzell’s Beds we stock a range of adjustable beds from leading bed manufacturers RespaSlumber Night, Sherborne and Dorlux .

When buying an adjustable bed it’s important to consider the type of mattress you require. Memory Foam Adjustable Beds naturally shape to the contours of the body and help provide pressure relieving qualities. Other type of mattresses include: pocket spring, latex, open coil or air.

Motorised Adjustable Beds can also be used to enjoy your leisure time as they are very comfortable for reading or for watching TV in bed. The motorised action in these beds can be adjusted according to the body structure and shape, providing comfortable and relaxing positions.
