The therapeutic benefits you will start feeling once you buy an adjustable bed are many. If during the night when you are in bed you feel a burning sensation in your throat and you have a dry cough or if during the day you notice you have a sore throat or trouble while swallowing food, there is a big chance you are suffering from acid reflux or hiatus hernia. If you sleep on an adjustable bed with the upper half of your body slightly elevated, you will avoid the acids in your stomach coming up and therefore you won't experience any of those unpleasant symptoms anymore. Lower back pain relief Millions of people all over the world suffer from lower back pain from time to time and, although most of the cases are nothing serious, there is no doubt that it's not a pleasant feeling. However, if you have an adjustable bed, you can lift slightly either the lower or the upper part of your body to find the most comfortable position while you sleep which will help you to temporarily relieve your low back pain symptoms. Diminish your edema symptom The edema symptom is caused when your body's tissues (most commonly in your feet, ankles or legs) are filled with fluids. Many doctors recommend lifting your legs so that the fluids flow through the rest of your body, which means that if you have an adjustable bed you have the chance of lifting the bottom half of your body, thus avoiding your body's tissues to be filled with fluids. Better digestion during the night Those who have a slow digestion at night would benefit from an adjustable bed because, by lifting the top half a bit, the whole process will be easier and healthier and the person in question won’t wake up with a stomach ache. Avoid strong headaches Many people who don't sleep well at night wake up with strong headaches which could be avoided by positioning their adjustable bed until they are as comfortable as possible.
