Many people doubt the usefulness of the dual adjustable mattresses until they get a chance to use them once themselves. The adjustable mattresses add a totally new level of comfort for a good night sleep that can only be described after experiencing it.

Why do people hesitate to use adjustable mattresses?
Well, change is always resisted. Even though you might want to throw out your normal mattress and bring in a new adjustable mattress, you might always hesitate once due to its cost and the fear about what if you do not like it! Secondly, both partners on the bed might not be sure how and what can they really adjust. Our personal opinion is that the concerns are legitimate and one should try out several times before changing to use an adjustable mattress. Most people who have made the switch gave us a very positive feedback after they started using their new adjustable mattresses. Some wondered how they lived for so long with their normal mattress!

What is really meant by an adjustable mattress?
People have come to having different perceptions about the adjustable features and because they hear different things from different people, it has only added to creating more confusion.

Normally, an adjustable mattress can change the firmness of the mattress according to preference of the user. The firmness is adjusted by changing the air pressure in the mattress by using a button or a remote control. The firmness of the left and the right sides of a mattress can be adjusted independently as per ones choice. For example, men more often than not prefer a little extra firmness on their side and women prefer a little less. The Sleep Number bed is one such great example of such adjustable mattresses.

Some people call the memory foam mattresses also as the adjustable mattresses as they “adjust” to the shape of the body thereby providing support throughout the length of the body. We wound not call the memory foam mattress as adjustable!

The mattresses that are used on adjustable beds – that can raise or lower the upper and lower parts of the bed surface – are also sometimes referred to as adjustable mattresses because they adjust to the shape of the bed. The adjustable beds do use a different type of mattress that would take the shape of the bed positions, but these mattresses also cannot be called adjustable mattresses unless they have the feature to adjust the firmness.

How can I try an adjustable bed?
Many retailers have schemes that allow you to try out a new mattress at home for a week or two. Since people start experiencing discomfort after they have slept for at least a full night, trying out a new mattress in the shop for just a few minutes may not suffice in deciding if the mattress you are buying is really good for you.

When you try out dual adjustable mattress, you should check out the different firmness levels and see that the firmness that you prefer is possible. Secondly, the feel of the mattress should be like that of a normal mattress. If the mattress surface is rubber, you may not feel comfortable sleeping on it even if you use thick bed linen. The mattress should look and feel to touch like a normal mattress.

Now, a standard mattress uses springs inside it to provide the support to the body. Since the springs are placed in a matrix a few inches apart from each other, you might often feel the presence of pressure points which result in different kinds of muscular pains after a nights sleep. On the other hand, an adjustable mattress uses air pressure therefore there are no pressure points which can help reduce any muscle pains that were caused by sleeping on a spring mattress.

You should also note that all air beds are not the same. The cheaper quality beds are not useful for daily use. Good quality adjustable mattresses would have firm edges which would not get pressed in case you happen to roll over to the edge while sleeping. If you sleep near the edge of a cheap mattress, the edge would give away and slide you down off of the mattress! A good quality mattress should not give you such an experience. If you have doubt, you should try it out before buying a new adjustable mattress.

Why should I invest in a new mattress?
Well, sleep is a necessity. Believe it or not, almost one third of our whole life is spent sleeping! As far as possible, it is good to do whatever possible to get a good sleep every night. A good restful sleep rejuvenates the body and keeps many ailments and diseases away – even the serious ones like diabetes, heart disease and hypertension. Using dual adjustable mattress goes a long way in providing a good sleep.
