An Adjustable Bed May Be Just What You Need

Ergomotion 400 Series Adjustable Bed Base

If you are a person that suffers from a bad back, poor circulation, or sleeping problems such as sleep apnea, or chronic snoring then an adjustable bed might be just what you need to help fix you sleeping difficulties. Adjustable bases have a stigma of being just for the elderly, and although they can help aging couple sleep together, they are also good for younger folks as well. Adjustable bed bases are able to elevate the head and foot areas of the mattress, which puts your body into a natural fetal position when sleeping. This helps alleviate the above ailments.

What is nice about the adjustable bed bases that are being made in this day and age is their modern look. Gone are the days of bulky adjustable beds that would turn the bedroom into an instant eye-sore. Now, the bases are made rock solid with metal frames, and modern looking lines. In addition all of the adjustable bed bases offered on US Beds.com are wall hugger bases. This means that they can sit within a bed frame and still have a full range of adjustable motion. By doing this you can now enjoy the benefits of an adjustable bed while still being able to have your room tie together with a nice bed frame. In addition the adjustable bed frames also come with headboard mounting brackets, so you are able to attach a headboard to the frame.

Our most popular adjustable base is the Ergomotion 400 series adjustable bed. This adjustable bed base has 2 point articulation, which means that the head and feet can adjust independent of one another, or at the same time up to a 60 degree incline. In addition the Ergomotion 400 series has three massage levels, and a wireless remote. We also sell Leggett & Platt adjustable bed bases. An industry standard, Leggett & Platt offers well made adjustable beds in all standard sizes.

Intex Memory Foam Mair Mattress

Our Intex Memory Foam Air Mattress In Queen Size

A lot of people call looking for air beds, and I have to say that our selection is quite good. But what’s even cooler is that in today’s world you no longer have to settle for an air bed that sleeps close tot he floor. Now, the huge rage is raised air beds. These beds are typically 12″-22″ off the ground and come with features such as remotes, built in air bed pumps, and flocked tops.

One of my favorite products that we have brought onto USBeds.com is the Intex Memory Foam Air Bed. We have had a lot of success with this product, and I just wanted to let everyone know about it. I recently bought one for guests that were coming to stay with me (yes they give us an employee discount) in queen size. Anyway, the bed is really comfortable, and definitely feels nothing like sleeping on an air mattress. It was comfortable, and the memory foam top went a long way to improve the quality of the product. I generally like to talk about mattresses I have personally tried, and this is one that I can give a personal recommendation to. I would suggest that if you are in the market for a premium raised air bed that you check out this Intex Memory Foam Top Air Bed.

Waterbed Accessories

There are many accessories for waterbeds on the market today. Here is a description of the various waterbed accessories.

Bladder: The bladder is the part of the waterbed that actually contains the water. Once in a while, bladders need to be replaced due to various reasons. Bladders can very in material and thickness. This, in turn, affects the waviness of the bed. The thicker the bladder, the less wavy the waterbed will be.

Liner: Liners are meant for hardside waterbeds. They are placed between the wood frame and the bladder to help protect the bladder to make it last longer and stay in good condition. Liners are usually puncture and leak proof to prevent any accidents.

Waterbed Heaters: Waterbed heaters are placed below the bladder. They heat the water in your bed, making it warmer and more comfortable to sleep in. Usually heaters are built to be overheat resistant to protect yourself and the bed from any harm.

Waterbed Conditioner: Waterbed conditioner is placed in the water of the waterbed. It prevents mold, bacteria and slime and preserves the vinyl lining of the bladder.

Waterbed Patch Kit: These are sold in the even that your waterbed bladder has a leak.

Flipping Mattresses

If you have a traditional innerspring or coil mattress, flipping the mattress every month or so will increase the longevity of the mattress and prevent sagging in the middle.

New mattresses on the market today such as memory foam, latex or air mattresses are built in such a way that they do not need to be flipped.

General Guide:

Innerspring (coil) Mattress: Flip
Memory Foam Mattress: Do Not Flip
Latex Foam Mattress: Do Not Flip
Air Mattress: Do Not Flip
Waterbed Mattress: Do Not Flip

Tempur-Pedic BellaSonna Mattress

We have had many inquiries about the BellaSonna mattress from Tempur-Pedic. This mattress is basically a mix between a memory foam mattress and a latex mattress. From top to bottom, first there is a layer of memory foam that they refer to as a “TEMPUR-HD material comfort layer,” then there is a layer called the “TEMPUR-support layer,” then there are latex foam cylinders called “TEMPUR-FLEX dynamic support system base layer.” Apparently these layers make the bed feel just like a traditional spring mattress that has the added benefits of a latex or memory foam bed.

Did we mention that a Queen size cost $4,099!

We think that Tempur-Pedic is trying to appear innovative by using words such as “dynamic,” “flex,” and “HD.” We are sure that this bed is comfortable and definitely provides a good night’s sleep, but $4,099 is just out of our price range! Maybe if they add more leaves to the background of the promotional picture, we would consider buying it (just kidding!).

For me, a standard memory foam or latex mattress with a pillow top more than does the job!

Waterbeds: Hardside vs. Softside

If you are in the market for a new waterbed, then you have definitely come across the terms “hardside” and “softside” waterbeds. Here is a detailed explanation to these two types of waterbeds.

Hardside Waterbeds

The classic waterbed model. A hardside waterbed is where the bladder (water chamber) is placed in a wooden, hard frame that holds the mattress shape of the bladder. The bladder sits on top of a deck designed to spread out the weight of the water. Hardsided waterbeds normally have padding that goes over the hard side to make the bed more comfortable to get in and out of. Hardsided waterbeds typically do not have much upholstery on top of the bladder, so it is much wavier than a softsided waterbed.

Softside Waterbeds

This is the newer waterbed model that was created to sort of bridge the gap between traditional beds and hardside waterbeds. This is the more popular type of waterbed. Softside beds have sturdy foam or similar materials that give a soft casing for the bladder. This makes the bed look more like a traditional mattress. Unlike hardsided waterbeds, softsided waterbeds can sit on a traditional mattress foundation. Softsided waterbeds usually have layers of foam or fabric on top of the space for the bladder. This decreases the waviness of the waterbed, providing more support for your body while you sleep.

Miralux Mattresses From Sleepy’s

We have had many inquiries about the Miralux line of mattresses that is currently being offered at Sleepy’s stores. We decided to go to a Sleepy’s store and see for ourselves why everyone is making a big deal about these beds.

Sleepy’s is pushing these beds very hard to be the “luxury” mattresses they offer. These beds are priced higher than most beds. The standard model starts at $699 for a twin and it goes all the way up to $1499 for the “luxuriant” model twin size.

Miralux mattresses are basically glorified spring mattresses. They use coils, and place layers of foam on top to add comfort. Miralux beds also have mircofiber fabric that is advertised as “softer than silk,” and breathable. Even with all the add ons that Sleepy’s advertises, the Miralux beds are still spring mattresses, the lowest quality mattresses on the market today. Spring mattresses do not last long, and they start to lose their shape and sink in the middle over time.

Many of the online testimonials that we have read about the Miraluz have been negative. Here are some of the reviews we found:

- “My mom bought an almost $4000 king-size Miralux and after a very short time — less than three months — there was visible sagging on both sides of the bed where my parents sleep. After sleeping on it myself for one night, I woke up with the familiar backache caused by unsupportive mattresses.”

- “This miralux rapture mattress felt good in the store, but after actually sleeping on it for a few nights, we wish we had our 7 year old mattress back. This was a big mistake and we got talked into it at Slelepy’s.”

- “I bought a Miralux – Luxuriant mattress from Sleepy’s from a very crafty salesmen just out to make his commission for the day. I paid $2,000 for “top of the line” Miralux. After 6 months the mattress sags terribly on each side where me & my husband sleep.”

And there you have it! The reviews speak for themselves. Hopefully now you have enough information about the Miralux.

Serta Luxury Response Mattresses

Serta Luxury Response Mattresses are Serta’s line of visco-elastic memory foam and latex foam mattresses.

The standard model is the True Response Bellbrook Mattress. It is a 10″ standard memory foam mattress. For this model, the Queen is priced at $1009. This is a moderate price for a product of this quality. If this is a bed you are interested in, we recommend exploring cheaper options. When you are buying a Serta Mattress, you are paying for the brand name.

At memoryfoammattress.com, a similar 10” bed is offered in both firm and plush densities and the Queen is priced at $599! This is almost half the price of the Serta model.

Waterbed Bladders: Single Chamber vs. Dual Chamber

Every waterbed contains a bladder. The is the part of the waterbed the actually contains the water. When purchasing a waterbed, you will quickly realize that there are a couple different types of bladders to choose from: single chamber bladders, dual chamber bladders.

 

Single Chamber Bladder Waterbeds

Single Chamber Waterbed

 A single chamber bladder is one single container of water.  The more you fill the chamber of water, the firmed the waterbed will be. Any size bed has the option of single chamber. A single chamber bladder is great people who sleep with only one person in the bed. This way, the entire bed meets your desired level of firmness. 

 

Dual Bladder Waterbeds

Dual Chamber Waterbeds

 This option is only available for Queen or California King sizes. Dual chamber bladders can each be filled to desired level of firmness. This is a great option for two people who have different sleeping preferences. Also, this decreases the amount of waves that transfer from one side of the bed to the other. If one person is tossing and turning during the night, the dual chamber bladder decreases the chance that the other person will feel it during the night.
