Key Questions To Ask When Shopping for an Adjustable Bed
Wallace Graves
Whether it is a pair of football boots or an electric car, buying something you have never tried before can be challenging, and it is no different with purchasing an adjustable bed. Notably, adjustable beds are not the regular sleeping contraptions you see in most homes; hence, the correct information might be hard to come by depending on who you ask. Most importantly, you must ask the right questions when buying an adjustable bed to get the best value for money. This article lays down some of the pertinent questions you should ask when buying an adjustable bed.
Is an Adjustable Bed Quiet?
If you sleep in a noisy environment, it matters little if you have a quality mattress or can adjust your sleeping position at will. Various factors must come together so that you can enjoy a good night's sleep. One of the most common questions customers ask is whether an adjustable operates quietly. Notably, an adjustable bed is operated by a motor, which is powered by electricity. Therefore, most people assume that the motor makes noise when raising or lowering the bed. Fortunately, the technology in adjustable beds has improved immensely over the last couple of years. Thus, most brands equip their electric beds with quiet motors that remain silent during regular operation. Generally, most of the adjustable beds you will come across are noiseless.
Can I Assemble an Adjustable Bed Myself?
From its name, an adjustable bed comes off as a complicated piece of furniture to put together, especially for someone who has never used one before. Thus, some people might hesitate to purchase an adjustable bed if they cannot assemble it without expert help. However, the ease of assembling an adjustable bed varies from one brand to another. For instance, some electric beds come with separate components, and you must screw and bolt every piece. While it is not impossible to assemble such an adjustable bed, the process can take time. On the other hand, some adjustable beds are simple to assemble; all you have to do is bolt and screw the legs to the frame.
Do They Work With Any Mattress?
Some people buy an adjustable bed and mattress separately only to realise the two are incompatible. The reason is that adjustable beds do not work well with regular mattresses because most have a rigid rim around the foam, making them impossible to fold. Luckily, most brands sell their adjustable beds with compatible mattresses, making the purchasing process easy and convenient. Therefore, while not all mattresses are compatible with adjustable beds, finding one that works well with the bed should not be a problem.
