For anyone thinking about purchasing an adjustable bed, there are lots of models in the market nowadays. Electric beds have come a long way from the old-style hospital bed.
Knowing what to look for when buying an electric adjustable bed is an important consideration. You need to consider the type, designs available and the size of the bed you’ll need – also, the cost and your budget, and whether you need a special mattress or adaptations.
What To Look For When Buying an Electric Bed?
To help you in your purchase decisions, we put together a list of top tips to consider when buying an adjustable bed.
- Delivery and Assembly Of Your New Adjustable Bed
Before you buy your new adjustable bed, think about whether it comes pre-assembled and how you will get it delivered to your home.
At Dalzells of Markethill, we pride ourselves on our customer service, offering free delivery and assembly of all of our adjustable electric beds.
Our delivery service is particularly important for anyone with mobility issues or those living alone. We want to take away any worry or stress about getting a new electric bed delivered and assembled. We carry good stock so you won’t have to wait to have your electric adjustable bed delivered.
- Special Mattresses and Features
Before you buy a new electric bed, think about any features that you’ll need or the type of mattress that you want. Many adjustable beds now come with a range of controls to help people with mobility issues or for those that need extra support.
Cot sides and rails can be added as added safety features. Optional extras such as massage units are great for reducing pressure points and aid blood flow for better circulation. Remote controls too are essential for those with limited mobility in their hands.
Think about whether you need your adjustable bed for one or two people. Dual control electric adjustable beds can be operated independently of one another, reducing any potential partner disturbance.
Many electric bed manufacturers now offer a wide selection of mattresses to choose from. The Venus is MiBed’s waterproof mattress option, featuring 50mm memory foam on a layer of supportive reflex foam to provide a firm feel.
Other brands such as Sherborne Upholstery offer a choice of seven mattresses in five sizes from 2’6″ to 6′, complete with four headboard options.
- Types of Electric Beds
Electric adjustable beds have come a long way from the models of old. Available now in a range of types, designs, sizes and finishes, you can personalise your bed to suit your own particular style.
Offering luxurious upholstery finishes, choice of mattress and base, and available in a range of sizes, Hestia Motion combines the market-leading adjustable MiBed® brand with the luxury of the Hestia® collection.
- Warranty on an Electric Bed
After taking delivery of your new adjustable bed, the last thing you want to be worrying about is any potential issues. Nowadays, many adjustable beds manufacturers offer a warranty with their beds.
Depending on the model and brand, electric bed guarantees can vary between suppliers. For example, some will come a timebound warranty for mechanical parts, whereas others may differ.
It’s always best to check the warranty beforehand, so you have all the information at your disposal. At Dalzell’s, our expertly trained staff are on hand to advise about warranties and things you need to consider before taking delivery of your new electric bed.
For added peace of mind, all Sherborne Adjustable Beds come with a 5 Year Warranty on electrical components, actions and frames.
