If you think adjustable bases are only for hospitals or luxury hotels, think again.
Today's adjustable bases are designed to help you sleep more comfortably, relax more easily, and personalize your sleep position — all with the touch of a button. Whether you're reading before bed, watching TV, or simply trying to find a more comfortable sleeping position, an adjustable base can transform the way you experience your mattress.
At DreamSense®, we believe better sleep starts with creating a sleep system that's tailored to you. Here's why an adjustable base may be one of the best upgrades you can make to your bedroom.
1. May Help Reduce Snoring
Snoring often occurs when the muscles in your throat relax during sleep, partially blocking your airway.
Raising your head just a few inches may help keep your airway more open, which can reduce snoring for some people and create a quieter night's sleep for you and your partner.
Many DreamSense® adjustable bases even include convenient presets, making it easy to return to your preferred sleeping position night after night.
2. Help Relieve Pressure on Your Back
Lying completely flat isn't always the most comfortable position for your body.
Adjusting the head and foot sections of your bed allows you to better distribute your body weight, which may help reduce pressure on your lower back, hips, and shoulders.
Many people find that slight adjustments make it easier to relax at the end of a long day and wake up feeling more refreshed.
3. Sleep More Comfortably with Acid Reflux
If you occasionally experience nighttime heartburn or acid reflux, sleeping with your upper body slightly elevated may help reduce symptoms while you rest.
Instead of stacking pillows — which can shift during the night — an adjustable base elevates your entire upper body, helping maintain a more comfortable sleeping position.
If acid reflux is persistent or severe, consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
4. Encourage Healthy Circulation
After spending hours sitting at a desk or standing on your feet, your legs may appreciate a little elevation.
Raising your legs can encourage healthy circulation and help reduce feelings of fatigue or heaviness. Many people also find leg elevation especially relaxing after exercise or long days on the go.
5. Find Your Perfect Position
One of the biggest benefits of an adjustable base isn't tied to any one feature — it's the ability to customize your comfort.
Whether you're:
- Reading a book
- Watching your favorite show
- Working on a laptop
- Enjoying breakfast in bed
- Relaxing after a workout
- Finding your most comfortable sleep position
an adjustable base lets you create the position that feels best for you.
Unlike a traditional flat foundation, your comfort isn't limited to a single position.
Pair It with the Right Mattress
For the best sleep experience, your adjustable base should be paired with a flexible mattress that's designed to move with it.
All DreamSense® mattresses are adjustable-base compatible, allowing them to bend and flex naturally while continuing to provide the pressure relief and support they're designed for.
Whether you prefer the cooling comfort of the CoolSense® Collection, the plush feel of the Bliss Hybrid, or the balanced support of the Haven Hybrid, your mattress and adjustable base work together to create a personalized sleep experience.
