Adjustable Bed Bases for Mattresses.

Hi Pete,

I’m inquiring about adjustable bed bases for mattresses.
My wife seems to think that we should get one. 
How necessary are they? 
What are the benefits?
Is there a downside?
Is one better than another?
Which one do you recommend?
Thanks, Barry

Hi Barry,
My views about this is quite different from those of the average salesperson.
Most salespeople are less concerned about whether or not it’s the right fit for their customers and more concerned about the extra commission it generates.

Those who benefit most from having an adjustable bed base are those who spend time hanging out in their bedroom.
Watching TV, reading, working/playing on a laptop are the best reasons.
If your reason for going to bed, is to sleep, it’s a waste of your money.

For sleeping, it’s important to maintain the natural alignment of your spine.
So if you have an adjustable bed, it’s best to lay it flat for sleeping.

The advantages are obvious for those who like to spend time in their bedroom for purposes other than sleeping.
The disadvantage is far less obvious, becoming so after the passing of time.
When you raise the head and foot, the majority of your body weight shifts from being evenly distributed across the surface of the mattress to a single point just under your butt. Consequently, the mattress wears more quickly at the spot.
This can create a misalignment of your body and spine when sleeping flat.

And while back sleepers may find comfort sleeping with the head raised, comfort is much more difficult for side sleepers and impossible for stomach sleepers with the bed in any other position than flat.

In terms of quality, I see little to no difference between one brand and another.
The differences are more about features and aesthetics.

We carry only one brand, Magniflex, for which there are two models.
This brand was chosen for its value…not as expensive as most, and very well made. Their Primavera model is less expensive than their Milano model.
The difference being the aforementioned extra “bells & whistles”.
