Adjustable beds

In the field of personalized rest, electric adjustable beds are presented as an exceptionally versatile option.

This type of bed is especially beneficial for those looking to improve their quality of sleep and general well-being, although they are particularly indicated for people with medical conditions such as back or joint problems, as it allows the position to be adjusted to relieve pressure in specific areas. They are also a wise choice for the elderly or those with reduced mobility, as these beds facilitate safe entry and exit.

In any case, regardless of medical or physical conditions, adjustable beds are ideal for those who enjoy activities such as reading, watching television or working in bed, as they offer greater comfort through position adjustment, which is favorable for certain activities.

In general terms, articulated beds are distinguished by their size, operating mechanism (manual or electric), and by the planes, which are the sections whose position can change.

By number of planes

As we have indicated previously, the planes of an articulated bed represent the parts whose position is not fixed, and can change to achieve a better adaptation to the desired posture.

• Two planes: Particularly indicated for people with problems digestive, since most two-plane articulated beds can only elevate the upper part of the body: the head and trunk.
• Three planes: Particularly indicated for people with circulation problems, since in addition to allowing the head and trunk to be raised, they also allow the legs to be raised.
• Four planes: These beds allow the trunk and legs to be raised vertically, while the lower part of the body does so. horizontally. They are usually indicated for people with more serious ailments, such as joint problems.
• Five planes: They can elevate the legs and trunk horizontally and vertically, allowing the position of the neck to be adjusted. This is the maximum degree of articulation of this type of beds.

By size

In addition to the planes, another differentiating element of articulated beds is their size.

They can be found in different sizes ideal for a single person, commonly called individual articulated beds, and whose size ranges from 0.85 m-1 m wide to 2 meters wide. long.

On the other hand, we can find the articulated double beds, which are more appropriate for the simultaneous rest of two people, and whose measurements usually range between 1.20m and 1.40m wide.

By actuating mechanism

In short, the last important differentiator of an articulated bed is whether it is a manual, or electric articulated bed. The main difference is that manual ones require interaction with an element such as a crank or lever, while electric articulated beds can be controlled by buttons or even by remote control.

Generally, yes. Articulated beds have additional components and additions that cannot be found in a traditional format bed.

A manual articulated bed, even if configured using a manual actuator, has adaptation systems that a conventional bed does not have.

In the case of electric articulated beds, in addition to the adaptation, there are components such as motors, actuators, wiring and other electrical elements that allow the correct use of the functionality, something that inevitably increases the price of these beds.

It can be concluded that its price is somewhat higher, but at the same time it offers benefits for health and rest that conventional beds cannot offer, being in some cases even practically essential requirements for people who suffer from certain conditions or ailments.

Before purchasing an articulated bed you must first know basic aspects such as the desired size, the number of planes required, and of course the type of actuator.

If you have doubts about whether you should buy an electric articulated bed or a manual one, based on our experience we leave you some indications regarding the profile of person who requires one type or another.

Electric articulated bed: The Electric versions are usually indicated for people who suffer from specific medical conditions, who are elderly, or who simply have mobility problems and who would have difficulty manually adapting the position of the bed.

Manual articulated bed: On the other hand, manual articulated beds are more indicated for people who suffer temporary or minor injuries, and whose mobility is not impeded enough to be able to cope with the interaction with the actuating element.

Of course, the choice The type of articulated bed always remains in the hands of each person.
