How to Find your Ideal Setting with Adjustable Air Beds

Although adjustable air beds offer supreme comfort, it sometimes may be hard to actually FIND that ideal comfort level. Worried that you’ll be forever adjusting the bed and never finding the sweet spot for sleep? Read my tips on how to find your ideal setting on adjustable air beds:

1.     1. First be sure you are lying on adjustable air beds in your normal sleeping position. Many times we want to lie on our backs to test adjustable air beds. However, if you never sleep on yoru back- this won’t properly gage your ideal comfort level. Get comfortable just as if you were going to sleep at night. 

2.      2.  Take your adjustable air beds remote and start at a medium setting to put yourself in the middle of the firmest and softest levels of comfort. A good benchmark for a medium setting on adjustable air beds would be in the 50-60 range.

3.      3.  Relax on your adjustable air bed for a few minutes to see how your body responds to this level of air.

4.       If you feel lower back comfort from adjustable air beds, this means you need to increase the firmness of your mattress. Alternatively, if you are feeling discomfort in your hips, upper back, or shoulders, you should decrease the firmness level of your adjustable air beds. 

5.       4. Don’t make big jumps in the remote control levels. When you feel discomfort be sure you slowly increase or decrease the air in the adjustable air beds chamber by increments of 5 or 10. This way your body can slowly feel the bed changing and be able to better pinpoint where you feel the most comfort. 

6.      5.  You will know that you have found the best comfort level for adjustable air beds if you feel relaxed and at ease. Also be sure that your back and neck are in alignment just as if you were standing up, and adjustable air beds are supporting the small of your back (no arching!) or curve of your waist. 

After following these times and doing some trial and error experimenting, you should be able to find a setting that will work for you on adjustable air beds. Now all that’s left is to enjoy a good night of sleep!
