The Best Hospital Bed for Home with Flexabed

Unlike traditional beds, hospital beds provide a greater level of comfort and support with various features that make them more accessible to people with evolving care needs. If you or someone you love is in need of a hospital bed for home care, our luxury adjustable beds at Flexabed offer a unique and ideal solution, specifically our Hi Low SL adjustable bed. Below we will detail a few reasons why our Flexabed Hi Low SL makes a great asset for anyone looking for the best hospital bed for home.

Electric Motor for Easy Adjustments

One important feature for any hospital bed for home is just how adjustable it actually is. Part of the draw of having a hospital bed for home is being able to quickly and easily adjust the bed to suit your needs. The Flexabed Hi Low SL features a whisper-quiet electric motor and a remote control that makes adjusting the bed simple. Getting comfortable has never been easier!

Extreme Lowering Capability for Ease of Access

Another important feature for any hospital bed for home is its lowering capability. Whether the bed is for a senior who may struggle to get in and out of bed easily or someone with an injury or illness that affects mobility, the ability to lower the bed makes it significantly more accessible for the user. The Flexabed Hi Low SL actually goes lower than any other bed we’ve ever manufactured. When paired with a low profile mattress, this bed can lower to an astonishing 16.5” from the ground, making it incredibly accessible for those who struggle with mobility.

Completely Customizable

Just like the rest of the Flexabed line, the Hi Lo SL can be completely customized to suit the user’s unique preferences. There are a slew of add on feature options to expand the functionality of the bed, and myriad ways to make it totally your own.

Luxurious Comfort

Whether you’re a senior or recovering from an injury or illness, comfort is paramount. Feeling comfortable and stress free can play a large role in one’s overall wellbeing, and in recovery as well. When it comes to comfort, Flexabed certainly delivers. With a wide range of mattress options and the customizability previously mentioned, we’re confident that anyone can find their best relaxation and sleep in a Flexabed.

So if you’re looking for a hospital bed for home for yourself or for a loved one, we hope you’ll consider Flexabed as a great option. We’re confident that this bed can greatly improve sleep and overall quality of life for sleepers of all ages and with all types of sleep and personal care needs.

Choosing the Right Mattress for You

When it comes to shopping for mattresses, there are so many options out there that it may become a little overwhelming, particularly if you’re not sure what makes the most sense for you and your specific sleep needs. Our line of mattresses at Flexabed features six distinct types so you can select the best mattress for you– or as a dealer, you can help your customer find the perfect mattress for their needs.

Memory Foam Mattress–

Our Flexabed memory foam mattresses cradle your every curve while providing the perfect support for all your joints and pressure points. Molding perfectly to the shape of your body, this mattress provides comfort and support like you’ve never felt before.

Great for:

• Side sleepers who have high impact areas at the hips and shoulders
• Back and stomach sleepers, especially those under 230 pounds, as the memory foam cradles the body

May not be the best option for:

• Hot-natured sleepers/people who tend to run hot when sleeping
• People who need to be able to move around easily on top of the mattress

Innerspring/Memory Foam Combo–

Our Flexabed innerspring memory foam combo mattresses combine the traditional support offered by innersprings, with the luxury and comfort that comes with memory foam. These mattresses feature superb tailoring, and durability– the sturdiness that comes with springs and the comfort that comes with memory foam.

Great for:

• Side sleepers who have high impact areas at the hips and shoulders
• Back sleepers, as the coil system provides support while bending and bouncing to respond to the shape of your body
• Great for combination sleepers, or people who change positions during sleep, as they are softer near the top, but still provide plenty of support through the innersprings
• People who tend to run hot, or get hot when sleeping, as the more open design promotes greater air flow, and is generally cooler to sleep on

May not be the best option for:

• People who prefer a softer mattress type
• Couples sharing a bed, as movement can be readily felt (though these couples should look into our split king options, in which each sleeper can choose the mattress type that works best for them)

Gel Memory Foam–

Flexabed’s gel memory foam mattress option creates a cooler sleeping surface for a refreshing and rejuvenating night’s sleep, perfect for hot natured sleepers. The gel-infused foam actually works to wick heat away from the body while eliminating hot spots on the surface of the mattress.

Great for:

• Hot-natured sleepers/people who tend to run hot when sleeping
• Side sleepers who have high impact areas at the hips and shoulders

May not be the best option for:

• Cold natured sleepers

Latex

Our natural latex mattress provides the softest feel of all, and offers the dynamic support of a custom-molded mattress. It is made with a 100% natural, rubber-latex core constructed with talalay latex.

Great for:

• People who prefer a firm mattress
• People with joint pain, as the resilient material is able to contour to the body just enough to support proper alignment
• Light sleepers as the latex material is great for motion isolation, limiting disturbances from a tossing and turning partner

May not be the best option for:

• People who prefer a softer mattress type
• Hot-natured sleepers/people who tend to run hot when sleeping
• People who would have difficulty moving a heavy mattress when necessary

Low Profile

Flexabed’s low profile mattress option reduces the overall height of a bed by 6 inches. It is also handcrafted from a high-density polyurethane foam core for quality and comfort.

Great for:

• People with limited mobility, as it’s easier to get in and out of bed
• People who prefer minimalism in style, or a less bulky look that works well with contemporary furniture

Innerspring Mattress

Our Flexabed innerspring mattresses are available in soft, medium, and firm options, each featuring a high-density comfort layer pad constructed from polyurethane. The innerspring unit itself is innerbonded to ensure lasting durability, maximum support, and total comfort for sleepers.

Great for:

• Those who require extra support for the major pressure points– shoulders, hips, and knees
• People who tend to have back pain, as the springs offer extra-responsive support that can help with proper spinal alignment

May not be the best option for:

• People who would struggle to move a heavy mattress, as this type needs to be flipped and rotated from time to time for even wear
• Couples sharing a bed, as movement can be readily felt (though these couples should look into our split king options, in which each sleeper can choose the mattress type that works best for them)

People are all different with different bodies, different sleep needs, and different preferences. That means the best mattress for one person, may not be the best for the next. For this reason, our team at Flexabed diligently to handcraft a variety of mattress types to suit every type of sleeper out there. Find the right one for you today!

Flexabed– More Than A Bed

Did you know that the average person, assuming they sleep an average of 8 hours a night, will sleep for approximately 230,000 hours over the course of a lifetime– or more simply put one third of their life?

Let that sink in. You spend roughly one third of your life in your bed. If that’s not motivation enough to ensure the bed in your life is up to snuff, well, we don’t know what is! But beyond sleep, your bed has the potential to add a lot of positives to your life and overall wellness, and the team here at Flexabed sees that as an area in which we can serve you.

A Haven

Your adjustable bed from Flexabed is a place to sleep, but it’s also a haven. Your entire bedroom, really, presents you an opportunity to create a space that’s designed specifically for rest, relaxation, and enjoyment. Purchasing the right bed can work wonders in helping you achieve that. It can be a part of your space in which all your stresses from the day fall away, where you can recoup, reenergize, regenerate, and maybe even relive life’s best moments in some sweet, sweet dreams.

A Hub for Fun

There’s a lot we do in our bets outside of sleeping. Maybe you like to read in bed, or watch television. Maybe you cuddle with your significant other, your children, or even your pets. Your bed could be the site of a family movie night, especially when you have an adjustable Flexabed. Everyone can snuggle in, get comfortable, and snack on popcorn till the credits roll. The point is, lots of meaningful moments can happen in the bed, so make sure yours is a great one. (And you know we can help with that.)

A Place to Recoup

Your bed is also where you go when your body needs to recuperate from illness or injury. When you’re sick, you need a comfortable place to rest and get better. If you get hurt, you’ll also rely on your bed to provide you a space to heal and regain your strength. When that bed is a Flexabed adjustable bed, you’ll truly be amazed at how luxurious it feels. Totally customizable, configurable to your exact specifications and personal preferences, and with the ability to elevate the head or the foot of the bed when necessary– you’ll almost never want to leave this bed.

No matter what, the fact remains that we all spend a lot of time in bed. We deserve to have the best in that area, and the potential for improved quality of life is exponential. So we leave you with these thoughts:

Having a great mattress is critical for getting good sleep, and we all know how vital sleep is to our overall health and wellbeing. Even so, millions of Americans suffer from poor sleep. In fact, according to the CDC, 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep each night. But what if part of the problem is the mattress? We’re here to tell you that sometimes that IS the sum and substance of sleep problems. Here are a few signs that it is probably time to replace the mattress you’re sleeping on.

SIGN 1: Your Mattress is More than 7 Years Old

So how often should you replace your mattress? This will depend somewhat on the mattress quality and type, but generally speaking you should replace your mattress at least every 7 to 10 years. Certain factors can contribute to wear and tear on a mattress, including how you sleep, if you sleep alone or with a partner, and your size and weight. Regardless, mattresses are not manufactured to last forever, and if your mattress is older than 7 years, well then it’s time to replace that thing.

SIGN 2: Your Mattress is Uncomfortable

Mattresses are meant to be supportive and comfortable. You may be fully aware that your mattress is no longer doing the trick, or offering the support and spinal alignment necessary for a comfortable night’s sleep. Conversely, you may have just adapted to sleeping on a subpar mattress simply because it’s what you’re accustomed to. Either way, if you stay in a hotel or at a family member’s home and wake up thinking, “WOW! That was the best night’s sleep of my life!”– that may be a good indication that your old mattress could use an upgrade. If you’re not comfortable, you’re not going to sleep your best. Period.

SIGN 3: You’re Experiencing Soreness and Back Pain

Did you know that poor sleep can contribute to chronic back pain and other problems? If you consistently wake up sore and stiff, that could be an indicator that your mattress is a problem. One great way to assess this is see if your soreness and pain persists throughout the day, or if it is more isolated to when you first rise, and tends to subside after you get up and get moving.

SIGN 4: Your Mattress Sags

If you can visibly detect wear and tear, dents, and irregularities in your mattress, the time is nigh to replace that bad boy. If your mattress has springs, you can check those for sagging and signs of breaking down. Pay close attention to the area where you sleep, looking for sagging, as well as the edges of the mattress for obvious wear and tear. Foam and pillow top materials– as most things– break down over time, and become less supportive. These factors will tell you when it’s time to go mattress shopping. (Side note: we can totally help with that!)

SIGN 5: You’re Sneezin’ Not Sleepin’

None of us like to think about it, but the truth is– you’re not the only thing resting in your bed. Your mattress is home to all sorts of things from sweat and skin particles to dust and a whole host of other allergens. According to a study conducted at Ohio State University, a typical used mattress can have anywhere from 100,000 to one million dust mites inside. YIKES! Yet another reason to replace your mattress periodically.

Have you ever thought about the fact that we spend approximately one third of our lives in bed? Not only is good, healthy, and restful sleep imperative for proper brain function and overall wellness, but also, it’s something we spend a great deal of our time doing. So if it’s time for you to replace that mattress, our team at Flexabed would love to help you upgrade to one of our handcrafted adjustable mattresses. And the way we see it, there was never a better time to start getting the best sleep of your life. Contact our incredible team today, and start reaping the benefits of incredible sleep.

What’s more is, our Flexabed Hi-Low SL and Premier beds boast a Limited Lifetime Warranty. That means when it’s time for a new mattress, you can ship your mattress back to us or bring it by the factory, and for $100, we will recover and refurbish the mattress or adjustable foundation.

You can also customize your mattress, and know it’s backed by our industry-leading warranty for total peace of mind. Find your perfect mattress today.

Never underestimate the power of a great night’s sleep! Today happens to be Flexabed’s favorite holiday– World Sleep Day. The goal of this holiday, organized by the World Sleep Society, is to celebrate the incredible benefits of good and healthy sleep, and to draw attention to the burden of sleep problems as well as the adverse effects they can have on us physically, psychologically, and even socially. World Sleep Day also exists to help promote the prevention and management of sleep disorders, which can really take a toll on the body and the mind.

Benefits of Healthy Sleep

Not only does establishing healthy sleep patterns have a rather obvious effects on how we feel and function throughout the day, but it has some other benefits you may not even be aware of. It’s actually paramount to overall health and wellbeing, and here is why.

1- Sleep Keeps Your Heart Healthy

Good sleep actually helps to promote heart health, who knew? Lack of sleep or generally poor sleep habits have been associated with high blood pressure and cholesterol, both of which are big risk factors when it comes to heart disease and stroke. So make it a goal to get between seven and nine hours of restful sleep each night.

2- Sleep Reduces Stress

We are all stressed out creatures a lot of the time, just trying to make it all happen and keep those plates in the air. Stress hormones produced within the body make it hard to fall asleep and to sleep soundly through the night. Lack of sleep can also send our bodies into a state of stress! This puts the body’s functions on high alert, resulting in elevated blood pressure, which of course– puts us at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. For this reason, things like mindfulness, yoga, and other relaxation techniques can really help with stress management and overall better sleep.

3- Sleep May Promote Weight Loss

Research shows that people who sleep fewer hours per night are more likely to have issues with being overweight or obese. Poor sleep can increase your appetite by impacting two important hunger hormones, ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is released in the stomach signaling hunger within the brain, and levels of this hormone are high before you eat, and low after. Leptin, on the other hand, is a hormone released from fat cells that actually suppresses hunger.
When you don’t get adequate sleep, your body makes more ghrelin and less leptin, leading to an increase in appetite and less accurate feelings of fullness after eating.

4- Sleep Is When the Body Repairs Itself

They don’t call it rest for nothing, folks. While you sleep your blood pressure drops, and your heart gets to take a much-needed break. Breathing slows, the muscles throughout your body relax, and the entire process can serve to reduce inflammation while promoting healing. While sleeping, the brain triggers the release of hormones that promote tissue growth that repairs blood vessels, restoring damaged muscles, and even helping wounds heal more quickly. Your body also produces more white blood cells while you sleep, and these cells work hard attacking viruses and other bacteria that can make you sick. Conversely, when you don’t get enough sleep, your immune system is weakened making you more susceptible to illness.

5- Sleep Improves Learning & Memory

Even though during sleep your body is in a state of rest, your mind is still active. Though sleep and memory may never be completely understood, many studies suggest that getting healthy sleep regularly is closely linked to success in the areas of both learning and memory. It stands to reason that if a person is deprived of adequate rest, he or she will likely struggle with focus and therefore not be able to efficiently learn. What’s more is that sleep plays an important role in the consolidation of memories, something that’s essential for learning things and retaining new information. Consolidation is the process of one’s memories becoming stable, and healthy sleep patterns help to make possible this important step in the memory process.

So today, on World Sleep Day, and really everyday, we want to stress how important it is to get great sleep each night. In order to achieve this, you have to set yourself up for success. Be proactive about winding down each evening before bed. Turn off your screens, read a book, try some meditation, and give your body and your brain a chance to prepare itself for that important rest it needs. Beyond that, make sure you have the best possible bed for you to promote the restful sleep you need to stay healthy. Check out our line of luxury adjustable beds here, and as always, be sure to reach out to our team with any questions you may have. We want you to have a good night, every night. Sweet dreams, friends.

A Luxury Adjustable Bed You Can Share

Sharing a bed with the one you love is a great thing. In fact, it’s believed that sleeping beside your partner can reduce cytokines involved in inflammation while also boosting oxytocin, otherwise known as the love hormone, reducing anxiety, and lowering cortisol– aka: the stress hormone. So more good hormones and less bad ones? Sign us up! Also, increased levels of oxytocin can reduce blood pressure for a healthier heart. Plenty of research supports that even just lying beside your loved one can help reduce anxiety, which only means more restful sleep for you.

So what if you and your partner have very different sleep needs that can make it tricky to share a bed? That’s where the Flexabed Hi-Low SL comes in. Because our Hi-Low SL bed can be paired with any of our other products, you and your partner can create a custom sleeping arrangement that suits both of you and your differing needs and preferences. If one of you needs the ability to raise and lower the bed for easier access, as well as adjustable options for raised head or feet simultaneously or independently of each other, this is the perfect option. Pair the Hi-Low SL split king with any of our other options– one side for you, the other for your love.

Hi-Low SL Features:

The base can be raised and lowered vertically with a touch of a button
Sleep next to your loved one with the dual king option

Adjustments to Accommodate Changing Sleep Needs

Sleep is something we all need. However, depending on our age, physical abilities, and various other factors, the amount of sleep we need can vary. Not only that, but the ways in which we achieve quality sleep can also vary greatly based on our height, weight, age and overall physical condition. As there are so many aspects that can affect our individual sleep needs, we must adjust our sleep environments over time. Below are some ways that we change with age, and ideas about how to modify the bedroom to accommodate these changes. (more…)
