The Benefits of an Adjustable Bed for Side Sleepers

Most of us have a favorite way to fall asleep—and for a lot of people, that’s on their side. In fact, research shows that side sleeping is the most common sleep position, and often the most comfortable. But it’s not without its challenges. That’s where a custom-fit adjustable bed for side sleepers can make all the difference.

Let’s explore why side sleepers love adjustable beds—and how Flexabed’s customizable features are built to support a better night’s rest.

Why Side Sleepers Struggle with Traditional Beds

Side sleeping is great for snoring and digestion, but it can lead to pressure points and poor spinal alignment if your mattress and base aren’t doing their job.

Without proper support, side sleepers often deal with:

• Shoulder and hip pressure
• Numbness or tingling in arms and legs
• Poor spinal alignment.
• Restless tossing and turning

An adjustable bed solves many of these problems by letting you fine-tune your position for total-body comfort.

How Adjustable Beds Support Side Sleepers

A Flexabed adjustable base allows side sleepers to elevate their head, legs, or both—creating a sleeping position that relieves pressure and improves circulation. Here’s how:

• Head Elevation helps reduce snoring and takes pressure off the neck and shoulders
• Leg Elevation relieves lower back pressure and supports circulation
• Zero Gravity Positioning cradles your spine and joints to reduce discomfort
• Customizable Settings allow you to find and save your ideal position

When paired with the right mattress, these features help keep your spine aligned and reduce the common aches that side sleepers often experience.

Custom Comfort, Your Way

Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or somewhere in between, every Flexabed is made to order and built around your unique needs. Our Premier, Hi-Low SL, and Value-Flex models all offer supportive options for side sleepers, with custom mattresses and optional upgrades like:

• Massage
• Memory settings
• Voice activation
• Underbed lighting

Sleep Together, Customize Separately

One of the biggest benefits of choosing Flexabed is the ability to share a bed without compromising comfort. If you’re shopping for your wife or for your mom or grandmother who shares a bed with a partner, Flexabed offers split queen and split king configurations on every model. This means each person can independently adjust their side of the bed—no more fighting over firmness, foot elevation, or favorite positions.

Whether one partner needs a softer mattress and the other prefers firm support, or one wants the massage on while the other sleeps still, Flexabed makes it easy to meet both needs in one beautifully built bed. It’s the perfect solution for couples who love sleeping together but need custom comfort to sleep well.

The Perfect Gift for Grandma, Too

Still shopping for the right Mother’s Day gift for Grandma? Flexabed is a popular choice for older adults, especially those who may struggle with mobility, swelling, or chronic pain. The Hi-Low SL model allows for vertical lift, making it easier and safer for seniors to get in and out of bed with dignity.

Pair it with a supportive mattress and massage feature, and you’ve got a custom-built gift that offers long-lasting comfort and care.

Every Flexabed is handcrafted in LaFayette, Georgia, and ships within three business days of ordering. Every adjustable bed we ship is delivered with White Glove delivery service. This ensures our beds arrive in perfect condition, and it includes complimentary set-up of your Flexabed.

A good night’s sleep is one of the most important things you can invest in, and for many people, an adjustable bed is the key to waking up feeling rested and refreshed. Unlike a traditional flat bed, an adjustable bed gives you the ability to customize your sleeping position for better comfort, improved circulation, and relief from common issues like back pain, acid reflux, or snoring.

But not all adjustable beds are created equal. With so many different models and features available, how do you choose an adjustable bed that’s truly right for you? Should you focus on durability, extra comfort features, or mattress compatibility? And which features are actually useful versus just nice to have?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options, don’t worry. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know before buying an adjustable bed. From understanding your sleep needs to comparing features and durability, we’ll help you make an informed decision so you can find the perfect bed for the way you sleep.

How to Choose an Adjustable Bed That’s Perfect for You

Start with Your Sleep Needs

The best place to start when choosing an adjustable bed is by thinking about your specific sleep needs. Are you looking for relief from aches and pains? Do you need to elevate your head to help with snoring or acid reflux? Or maybe you just want a more comfortable setup for reading or watching TV in bed?

If back pain is an issue, you may want a bed that allows you to elevate your legs and adjust your lower back support. If you struggle with snoring or acid reflux, sleeping with your upper body slightly elevated can make a big difference. And if you share a bed with a partner who has different sleep preferences, a split adjustable bed lets each of you control your own side without compromise.

By identifying your main needs upfront, you can narrow down the features that will actually improve your sleep instead of getting caught up in unnecessary extras.

Look for Easy, Quiet Adjustability

One of the biggest benefits of an adjustable bed is being able to switch positions effortlessly—whether you’re settling in for the night, stretching out after a long day, or just getting comfortable for a movie. A well-designed adjustable bed should move smoothly and quietly so that adjustments don’t disrupt your sleep (or your partner’s).

Many models also offer programmable memory settings, so you can save your preferred positions and return to them at the push of a button. Some even include wireless remotes, voice activation or smartphone controls, making it easy to adjust your position without fumbling for buttons in the dark.

Make Sure It’s Built to Last

An adjustable bed is an investment, and durability is key. You want a model that’s sturdy, well-constructed, and designed to withstand years of movement without wearing down.

It’s also worth considering the quality of the frame and motor. A solid metal frame and reinforced construction will prevent wear and tear over time. Checking the specs for materials and motor quality will help you find a bed built for longevity.

Think Beyond the Basics with Extra Features

While adjustability is the main draw, many modern adjustable beds come with extra features that enhance the overall sleep experience. Some models offer massage functions, which use gentle vibrations to help you relax and improve circulation. Others include under-bed lighting, which provides soft illumination at night without disturbing your partner.

If you want even more customization, accessories like side rails, leg extenders, and smart features such as voice activation can add convenience and functionality.

Make Sure Your Mattress is Compatible

Not every mattress works well with an adjustable base, so it’s important to check compatibility before making a purchase. If you already own a mattress, look at the manufacturer’s guidelines to see if it can flex and move with the base.

Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses tend to work best because they are flexible enough to adjust without losing support. If your mattress is too thick or rigid, it may not allow for smooth adjustments, so this is something to keep in mind if you’re not planning to replace your mattress along with your bed.

Look for a Strong Warranty and Customer Support

Since an adjustable bed is a long-term purchase, it’s important to choose one that comes with a solid warranty. A good warranty should cover the frame, motor, and electronic components, giving you peace of mind in case of any issues.

Reliable customer support is also something to consider. If you ever have questions or need assistance, you want a company that stands behind its products and is easy to reach.

Find the Adjustable Bed That’s Right for You

Choosing an adjustable bed isn’t just about finding a model that looks good—it’s about making sure it meets your comfort, support, and lifestyle needs. Whether you need better spinal alignment, improved circulation, or just a more relaxing way to lounge in bed, the right adjustable bed can make all the difference.

Here’s to a year full of energy, happiness, and nights of incredible sleep!

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.
