Frequently Asked Questions

Adjustable Bed FAQs - (Foam Products FAQs)(Foam Mattress Topper FAQs)

Why is an adjustable bed better than a regular bed?

A regular bed is a flat surface but our bodies are made up of many curves. A flat surface does not provide the necessary support for these various curves especially in 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 adjustable bed sleep systems address this problem by allowing you to have your body in a more natural position for sleep. In studying the way astronauts sleep in space we have discovered a few interesting things. First off, their heads stay slightly elevated allowing for easier breathing. Secondly and probably more importantly, we see that their knees naturally bend and elevate slightly above the heart. This position takes pressure off the spine and allows for increased blood flow to the heart. Only an adjustable bed can mimic this extremely comfortable and healthy position. Note: Our Talalay Latex and Sensus Memory Foam mattresses are the ultimate compliment for our Silhouette adjustable base, together they create the ultimate sleep experience.

How will an adjustable help 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. Many of our customers say they wake up feeling more refreshed, mentally alert and happier because of a more sound sleep.

Can an adjustable bed help my health?

Yes. Our 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:

Sleeping in a more natural position with the legs elevated and pressure taken off the lumbar spine, can alleviated lower back problems.

Circulation increased by reducing the pressure points caused by sleeping on a hard flat surface.
Edema, the condition of abnormal fluid volume in the tissues, is reduced by elevating the legs to stimulate the excess fluid entry into the circulatory system.

Asthma and breathing difficulties are greatly reduced by the upper body being elevated to reduce the pressure on the lungs. The increased circulation and the reduced edema also help to reduce any fluid build-up in the lungs.

Acid Reflux, the condition of the lower esophageal sphincter relaxing to allow harsh stomach acids to leak back up into the esophagus, are alleviated by elevating the head at least 6 inches during sleep.

Other problems an adjustable bed can help to alleviate:

--Neck and shoulder pain

--Arthritis

--Snoring

--Sleep Apnea

--Restless Leg Syndrome

How do I pick the right adjustable bed for me? Are they all the same?

No, adjustable beds are not all the same. Adjustable beds come with a wide variety of options. An adjustable bed system consists of two parts, the mattress and the platform or base. Picking the base is a personal choice in that you have to decide what features you want and what's the budget is. the Silhouette by Legget & Platt is a very well-engineered adjustable platform at a great price with many features. Our Silhouette platform comes with many options such as cordless remote, massage and memory options, wall-hugger slider to bring you closer to your nightstand, and many more. Picking your mattress is also a personal choice but feel free to contact us for more information. Our Talalay Latex and Sensus Memory Foam mattresses are engineered to work specifically with our adjustable platforms. They are all designed to alleviate pressure points, encourage proper spinal alignment, provide a breathable sleeping surface and are made from durable specialized foams.

Aren't adjustable beds just for older people?

Absolutely Not! Seventy percent of all beds sold in Europe are adjustable beds. Europeans are well aware of the health and lifestyle benefits of the adjustable bed systems.

With our ever-increasing active lives, people all over are now realizing the enormous benefits of owning an adjustable sleep system.

How many pounds of weight will the adjustable bed platform support?

The Twin Xl Silhouette will support 350lb. The Full XL and Queen will support 450lb. The various adjustable memory foam mattresses work best with weights below 250lb, depending on the mattress rating.

Can you clean under the adjustable platform?

Yes! Cleaning under the adjustable bed platform is made easy by the 7 3/4" clearance so you can easily vacuum underneath the raised platform.

Can the adjustable bed platform fit into an existing bed frame?

Yes. The Silhouette adjustable platforms will fit inside standard Queen and King headboard, foot- board and side-rails. Because the Full XL and Twin XL are not the standard sizes that most bed frames come in, your standard Twin and Full bed frames will not work with these size adjustable beds. But the headboard should be able to be fitted to the head of the adjustable bed in these sizes.

Can I attach our existing headboard to the adjustable platform?

Yes. The Silhouette comes with headboard brackets which you can attach your existing headboard.
