Our NEW Simmons ComforPedic Harmony Matress with Adjustable Base
Health Benefits of Our Adjustable Bed
Purchasing an Adjustable Sleep System is like bringing the luxury and relaxation of a vacation spa into our own abode.
We can Luxuriate everyday with the many massage options and the various elevations for our legs, feet and upper body. The cordless remote makes luxury effortless at the touch of a button.
Doctors are now recommending adjustable beds more than ever to address a variety of ailments and to improve health and well-being.
Our busy and stressful lives can often lead to neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, and sleeplessness. An Adjustable Bed may provide temporary relief from a variety of health problems such as:
•Low Back Pain
•Neck and Shoulder Tension
•Circulatory Problems
•Pain from Arthritis
•Asthma and other Breathing Difficulties
• Acid Reflux and Nighttime Heartburn
•Minor Aches and Pains
•Edema or Swelling of the Legs
•Insomnia
Ease Lower Back Pain
Our spines are made up of curves. By sleeping on a flat surface, these important curves are not supported and are, in fact, put under stress and tension causing sleeplessness and lower back pain. An adjustable bed along with our Simmons ComforPedic memory foam mattress allows for the curves of the body to be supported naturally and effortlessly. The body is then put in its natural position for sleep, easing back pain and encouraging deep sleep.
Neck and Shoulder Tension
Neck and shoulder tension is often caused by too much stress without a way to alleviate the tension buildup. By elevating the upper body, supporting the curve of the neck with memory foam and using the various massage options, neck and shoulder pain melts away naturally and effortlessly.
Circulatory Problems
Sleeping on a hard, flat surface with no give causes pressure points on various parts of the body. These pressure points decrease circulation which can lead to sleeplessness, numbness in arms and legs, and a feeling of sluggishness when awake. The memory foam in our mattress responds to the heat of your body and gives where it is needed the most. This relieves the pressure points allowing for increased circulation and better sleep. Also by slightly elevating the legs and upper body, a natural position for sleep, any blocks to circulation are also eliminated creating less pressure on the heart.
God Forbid,… we ever haveAsthma and Breathing Difficulties
By elevating the upper body, pressure is taken off the lungs and breathing becomes easier. Doctors often recommend sleeping with the chest elevated which allow the lungs to perform their function more effortlessly. Breathing difficulties can also be caused by some fluid buildup which is also reduced by elevating the legs to stimulate the fluid entry into the circulatory system and out of the lungs. Asthma patients report that sleeping with their chest elevated greatly eases their breathing and assists them in getting a good night’s sleep.
Or, if we are inflicted with Edema
Which is a condition of an abnormal amount of fluid buildup in the body. It causes severe swelling in one or more parts of the body. Symptoms can include swollen legs and feet, puffy eyelids, and weight gain. By elevating the legs and feet, the excess fluid is effortlessly processed out of the body through the circulatory system. Sometimes standing on ones feet all day can also cause some puffiness of the feet and ankles. Elevating your feet and legs when you get home from a hard day’s work immediately reduces the swelling and the various massage options eases those tired and aching muscles.
Or,…if we occasionally have Acid Reflux after that MEGA Pizza
Acid Reflux, also known as GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is caused by the lower esophageal sphincter relaxing to allow harsh stomach acids to leak back into the esophagus. Doctors often recommend elevating the head at least 6 inches to allow gravity to keep those stomach acids in the stomach. The adjustable bed allows you find just the right elevation to help reduce Acid Reflux so your sleep in more peaceful and restful.

A Good Night’s Sleep — Is 8 Hours Enough?
(http://www.DrSpencerBaron.com)
Sleeping eight to 10 hours in a night doesn’t ensure that you’ll have a good night’s rest. Yet, how is it that you can sometimes knock out only four or five hours and feel super refreshed by morning?
There are a several special ingredients, here are two …
It’s all about Quality not Quantity! And you can blame or credit your mattress.
The best mattress and box spring in the world may not provide optimum sleeping conditions.
An NFL wide receiver came up to me one day complaining of not sleeping well, and it was affecting him at practice. He told me his wife is having a GREAT experience with their “Top of the line” brand of foam mattress … but he, is NOT. His number one complaint is, “It makes me so hot. I feel like I’m in a sauna.” Even with the AC cranking, all the covers end up on his wife’s side. Secondly, he said, “I feel like I’m in a hole, and when I try to roll over, I feel like I’m being pulled back in.” This perfect impression your body leaves in the foam is also known as “canyoning,” and it gets worse with the age of the mattress.
Having heard these two complaints multiple times with regards to this “New, Space Age” foam, it provided reason to investigate.
Finally, I found an answer in the new technology developed by a mattress company called BioPosture …
- As you will hear in the video, the BioPosture bed stays cool due to its open-cell architecture within the foam.
- The durability of the bed and consciousness towards environmentally friendly materials has also prevented this bed from “canyoning.”
I am also proud to say that the company has asked me to be on their professional advisory board.
“Any one company who is that conscientious about their product, dedicated to research, and thaTHAT passionate about one of the most important factors of health – getting a good night’s sleep — is a perfect association for me.”
Enjoy the video and sleep like a pro.
Be well,
Doc B

Before You Buy a Bed Pillow
http://www.deluxecomfort.com/
Since you spend about one third of your day and night in bed sleeping, you have to be sure you have a comfortable pillow. With so many choices on the market, you might you might be confused at to what type of pillow will give you the best night’s rest. With our tips, we’ll help you decide the best bed pillow for you.
Cost:
Pillows range from cheap to expensive, but always remember, you get what you pay for. A cheap foam pillow might cost as little as $5 but a top quality down or feather pillow can be over $100, depending on the size. If you have a limited budget, select one or two good quality pillows to actually sleep on and use inexpensive pillows for other purposes.
Sleep Position:
If you sleep on your back, you might want a flat pillow. And if you sleep on your side or your stomach, you’ll want good support for your neck.
Fill:
After size, the next most important thing to decide is what type of fill you want. A foam pillow will feel firm and hold its shape throughout the night, even when you shift on the bed. A down pillow will squish with your head and give it a soft cushion. You can crumple it up for snuggling. Something right in the middle would be a pillow made with polyester filling. Most top quality feather and down pillows are hypo-allergenic and can be used by people with allergies.
Pillow Cover:
The cover on a foam pillow is not too important. But for a feather or down pillow, be sure that the cover is tightly woven cotton so that the feathers don’t leak out.
Care:
It’s important to clean a pillow regularly. Some feather and down pillows can be washed in a home washer. Others recommend dry cleaning. Regardless of the firmness, be prepared to renovate the feather or down fill every 10 years or so. Even foam disintegrates or breaks down.
