The impact adequately comfortable sleep has on proper body functioning cannot be overemphasized. The “period” of sleep gives the body a chance to rest and carry out much-needed body maintenance and repairs. There is also the fact that adequate sleep is important for maintaining proper mental functioning in individuals. So, it’s no surprise that many people pay a great deal of attention to mattress types when they’re trying to set up their bedrooms. There are certainly several different types of mattresses, such as orthopedic mattresses, memory foam, etc. Each type is more or less designed to ensure users enjoy maximum comfort while sleeping.

Shop Adjustable Bed BasesPeople pay a lot of attention to mattress type or quality when they’re trying to ensure they’re always able to have access to optimally comfortable sleeping experiences. However, the fact remains that mattresses are not the only thing that impact sleep quality. In addition to the type of mattress you have installed in your bedroom, your bed frame or bed “base” also significantly affects your ability to enjoy quality sleep experiences.
Speaking of bed frames or bases, there are quite a number of different bed base options on the market these days, but there are none that offer or contribute to users’ comfort as much as an adjustable bed base. Don’t know what an adjustable bed base is? Read on to discover what it is and why it’s the perfect bedroom addition for you.
What is an adjustable bed base?
An adjustable bed base is a prime example of the impact and “extensiveness” of technological improvements on daily life and living. An adjustable bed base is a type of bedframe designed to offer maximum user comfort irrespective of the user’s preferred sleeping posture. How? Well, as their name implies, these bed bases are designed to be perfectly adjustable to ensure users are always comfortable. A typical adjustable bed base usually has “customizable/adjustable” upper and lower bed frame designs that allow users to be able to adjust the bed shape or angle to suit their sleeping positions.
Simply put, if you have an adjustable base bed, you will be able to either raise the top half of the bed base, or the bottom half of the bed base (or even both in some cases), to ensure you’re always able to maintain a perfectly comfortable position while lying down. For example, instead of trying to prop yourself with pillows while you’re trying to read a book in bed, you’ll be able to simply raise or elevate the top half of your bed such that you’re still able to maintain a lying position, but it’s one that’s slightly inclined to allow you read more comfortably. Beyond this, there are tons of other possible adjustable base bed configurations (e.g., the zero gravity position).
Is An Adjustable Bed Base Really Worth It?
More often than not, people who discover bed frame options usually have questions about how it works, why it’s recommended, and so on. However, one question that seems to pop up more frequently than others is the “Is an adjustable bed base worth it?” question. This is understandable; after all, many people have probably already bought and installed some particular bed frame type in their bedrooms, and getting an adjustable bed base means they’ll have to spend even more money on something they’d already spent on before.
Nevertheless, it should be said that getting an adjustable bed base is totally worth it, and here are some reasons why:
Benefits Of Adjustable Bed Bases
The following are some of the advantages of having an adjustable bed base.
Back Pain Alleviation
If you have a regular mattress frame, chances are you’ve already had to deal with or are currently dealing with back pain issues. You should know that while many things could be responsible for causing back pain, one of the main causes remains improper sleeping posture. If you have ever dealt with back pain before, you will be aware that the pain usually seems to get more pronounced at night when you’re trying to sleep. This is actually due to the fact that your lying posture places even more pressure on your nerves, and needless to say, you likely won’t be able to sleep from all the pain. This is where adjustable bed bases come in.
With an adjustable bed base, you’ll be able to adjust your sleeping posture such that you do not place any pressure on your nerves. This is easily achievable by raising both the top and foot of your bed with the adjustable bed base, and this “adjustment” will effectively create a pressure-point-relieving surface for your back while you’re asleep.
Prevents Snoring
A lot of people don’t know this, but snoring is usually a product of incorrect sleeping posture. Basically, when a person sleeps such that their airways are blocked, air expelled from their lungs is forced through a “tight” space, and this more or less results in snoring. With an adjustable bed base, however, you’ll always be able to slightly elevate the top of the bed. This seemingly little alteration will actually fix the “blocked airway” issue responsible for causing snoring, so you won’t have to keep enduring it.
Easy Acid Reflux Fix
Acid reflux, commonly referred to as heartburn, is a condition that occurs when acid in your stomach “backflows” into your esophagus. As you would expect, this condition can be very painful. Acid reflux commonly occurs at night or when susceptible individuals are in a “flat or downward-tilted” lying position, as this position more or less promotes the reflux of stomach acid. With an adjustable bed base, you’ll be able to adjust your bed’s incline and elevate your upper body to effectively eliminate the chances of acid reflux.
Perfect For Insomnia
The major reason most people with insomnia find it difficult to sleep is that they cannot find a comfortable sleeping posture. Of course, a regular bed frame is pretty restricted when it comes to offering sleeping posture alterations. On the other hand, an adjustable bed base offers many more options. With an adjustable bed base, you’ll be able to experiment and cycle through many bed configuration options until you find one that’s perfectly comfortable for you.
Some other benefits of using an adjustable bed base include:
- Promotes food digestion
- Improves mobility
- Arthritis pain relief
- Promotes blood circulation
Who Needs an Adjustable Bed Base?
You should consider getting an adjustable bed base if you:
- Frequently suffer from back pain
- Have arthritis
- Are a senior or have limited mobility
- Have trouble sleeping at night
- Must maintain an elevated posture for one or both of your legs while sleeping or sitting due to a lower limb injury

Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
