    What Is a Bed Frame and What Does It Do?

    A bed frame is a supportive structure designed to elevate and hold a mattress and, often, a box spring above the floor. It serves as a crucial foundation for a comfortable and well-supported sleep surface. Bed frames come in various materials like wood, metal, or upholstered fabric, each offering distinct design and functional benefits.

    The science behind bed frames lies in their ability to distribute weight evenly, minimize pressure points, and provide proper ventilation for the mattress. These factors contribute to a healthier sleep environment by promoting airflow, reducing the accumulation of moisture, and preventing the growth of mold or dust mites.

    Health Benefits of Adjustable Bed Frames

    Bed frames play a pivotal role in enhancing both health and sleep quality by providing essential support and promoting a conducive sleep environment. Here are seven ways in which bed frames contribute to overall well-being:

    1. Spinal Alignment and Support

    A properly adjusted bed frame helps maintain proper spinal alignment by providing consistent support to the mattress. It prevents sagging and promotes even weight distribution, reducing the risk of back pain and discomfort. This alignment is crucial for minimizing strain on the spine, muscles, and ligaments during sleep.

    2. Pressure Point Relief

    If you’re considering an adjustable bed frame, it’s good to know how they can assist in alleviating pressure points by distributing body weight evenly across the mattress and elevating different parts of your body, like your head and feet. This is particularly beneficial for side sleepers, as well as individuals with joint issues or conditions like arthritis. By preventing excessive pressure on specific body areas, adjustable bed frames contribute to improved blood circulation and reduced discomfort.

    3. Allergen Management

    Elevating the mattress above the floor with an adjustable bed frame helps mitigate allergen accumulation. Dust mites, mold, and other allergens thrive in low-ventilation environments, such as directly on the floor. Bed frames create space for proper airflow, reducing the potential for allergen buildup and promoting a cleaner sleep environment for allergy cycles.

    4. Temperature Regulation

    Adjustable bed base frames, and bed frames in general aid in temperature regulation by allowing air to circulate beneath the mattress. This helps dissipate body heat and prevents excessive sweating during sleep. Maintaining a comfortable sleep temperature promotes uninterrupted rest and deeper sleep cycles.

    5. Hygiene and Maintenance

    Maintaining cleanliness is effortless with adjustable frames. Regular vacuuming and cleaning beneath the bed becomes more accessible by lifting different areas of the bed, reducing the accumulation of dust and debris. This cleanliness contributes to better indoor air quality, supporting overall respiratory health.

    6. Mattress Longevity

    A durable and supportive bed frame prevents premature wear and sagging of the mattress. When a mattress is placed directly on the floor, it is more susceptible to damage and deformation. By elevating the mattress, bed frames extend the lifespan of the mattress, providing better value for your investment.

    7. Improved Sleep Quality

    The combined effects of proper support, pressure relief, temperature regulation, and allergen management create a sleep-conducive environment that enhances sleep quality. Consistently sleeping on a well-structured adjustable bed frame can lead to more restful nights, increased REM sleep, and improved overall well-being.

    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 the 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.
