Why is a Lifestyle base by A.H. Beard better than a regular bed?

A regular bed is a flat surface and yet our bodies are made up of curves. A flat surface does not provide the necessary support for these various curves especially the lumbar, neck and leg regions. Tossing and turning during the night is the most common reason people don't sleep well at night. This restlessness is caused by pressure points developing at various parts of the body due to a bed that does not conform to the shape of the body causing circulation to be restricted at those points. We toss and turn to find a more comfortable position.

Our Lifestyle base systems address this problem in various ways. The adjustable bases allow you to put your body in a more natural position for sleep. In studies conducted on astronauts sleeping in zero gravity environments, it was discovered that they slept with their heads slightly elevated for easier breathing and their knees were naturally bent to take pressure off the lower back which allows for increased circulation. Only an adjustable bed can reproduce this natural position for better sleep.

How will Lifestyle base assist in helping me sleep better?

By keeping your body in a more natural position, the pressure on your skeletal frame is reduced by 85%. By alleviating this pressure your body is able to relax into a deeper and more restful sleep. This position also allows for better circulation, easier breathing, increased blood flow to the heart, and an overall reduction of aches and pains. Customers report waking up feeling more refreshed, mentally alert and happier because they slept soundly and deeply.

Can a Lifestyle base benefit my health?

Yes. Adjustable sleep systems have proven to provide many health benefits. The following are just a few of the health benefits found while using an adjustable bed: Lower back problems alleviated by sleeping in a more natural position with the legs elevated and pressure taken off the lumbar spine.

1. Circulation increased by reducing the pressure points caused by sleeping on a hard flat surface.
2. Oedema, the condition of abnormal fluid volume in the tissues, reduced by elevating the legs to stimulate the excess fluid entry into the circulatory system.
3. Asthma and breathing difficulties greatly reduced by the upper body being elevated to reduce the pressure on the lungs. The increased circulation and the reduced oedema also help to reduce any fluid build-up in the lungs.
4. Acid Reflux, the condition of the lower oesophageal sphincter relaxing to allow harsh stomach acids to leak back up into the oesophagus, alleviated by elevating the head at least 6 inches during sleep, keeping those stomach juices where they belong, in the stomach!!
5. Other problems an adjustable bed helps to alleviate:
   
   Neck and shoulder pain
   Arthritis
   Snoring
   Sleep Apnea
   Restless Leg Syndrome
