Top Sleep Positions on Adjustable Beds

While enjoying our adjustable beds, each and every one of us has a unique sleep style. But did you know that your sleep style also speaks volumes on your personality? Learn the most common positions that owners of adjustable beds find themselves in at night- AND what personality traits are associated with each position. 

 

1.       Assuming the “Fetal” on Adjustable Beds:

Just as it sounds, the fetal position in adjustable beds is the position in which you lie on your side and bend your knees. Whether you are bending your  knees to an extreme degree to resemble a baby in the womb, or just slightly bending your knees for comfort- you are a considered a “fetal” position sleeper on adjustable beds. As it happens, this is the most common way to sleep on adjustable beds so you aren’t alone! Fetal positions sleepers have the personality traits of having a hard or tough exterior but they are truly sweet, timid, or sensitive on the inside. Sleeping in the fetal position on adjustable beds also means you are someone who can stay cool, calm, and collected and relax easily. As a fetal position sleeper myself, I say this sounds pretty accurate! 

2.      Assuming the “Log” on Adjustable Beds:

The next most sought out position on adjustable beds is called the “LOG”. Also as it sounds, this means your body position is super straight, and you are on your side. Those who enjoy adjustable beds by being in “log” position are often known as social butterflies that thrive to be around people and love meeting new friends. The downside to this is that you can also be known as being a bit gullible, but your laid-back personality allows you to let things roll off your shoulders (even when finding out you’ve been fooled!)

3.      Assuming the “Yearner” on Adjustable Beds

Finally, the third most popular sleep position on adjustable beds is known as the “yearner”. This means you lie on adjustable beds on your side with your arms outstretched as if yearning for something to hold on to! The personality traits that accompany this sleep position are that you have an open heart and our compassionate. However, these adjustable bed “yearner” sleepers also may be sure to take a considerate amount of time when faced with decisions and are not usually comfortable with big changes in their lives. Which means they will stay loyal to the luxurious comfort of adjustable beds for life. Great choice yearners!

Tips to Improve Sleep: Part II

To follow up on my last article, if you are having trouble sleeping at night- it is best to evaluate what you may doing wrong and how to better your sleep with sleep tips. While air beds and number bed can work wonders for your comfort level at night, if you are engaging in activities that are prone to keep you awake at night, you can’t fully enjoy the technology and comfort that adjustable beds offer. Here are some additional tips on how to improve your sleep at night:

1.       Make Exercise a Priority

Exercising daily or weekly and on a set schedule will help increase your energy during the day. In turn, this will help you regulate your sleep patterns at night and ensure you are ready for bed when it’s time. Additionally, making a point to exercise regularly will improve your mood during the day and help eliminate the daily sleepiness and weariness from not getting a good night of rest. 

2.       Hide the Clock

It has been found that looking at your clock throughout the night will keep you from getting good sleep. Doing this builds anxiety and you lose the ability to become calm and enter into a good sleep state again. If you relocate your clock away from your adjustable bed to a place where you can still use it but can’t see it throughout the night, you will see your sleep improve drastically. 

3.       Eliminate Tobacco

Tobacco products are made with nicotine which is a stimulant. Having tobacco during the day, and ESPECIALLY before getting into adjustable air beds to sleep at night, will inhibit your sleeping. Try to avoid using any tobacco products to ensure you can sleep better each night.

Tips to Improve Sleep

While many mattresses like adjustable air beds and memory foam offer superior comfort that should help you sleep better, many of us have bad day time habits that keep us awake at night, no matter how comfortable our bed is! Here are some sleep tips you can follow to help you sleep better each night, no matter what kind of bed you are on. 

1.      Try Not to Eat Before Bed

While late night snacks are mighty tempting,  you should avoid these at all costs if you want to ensure deep and restful sleep. Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed. If you must each close to bed time, try having a light meal instead. Anything that is full of protein or caffeinated (ahem, chocolate!) will likely keep you up at night. Also, eating a heavy meal will mean that your body will be doing more work trying to digest it while you sleep, instead of going into sleepytime mode. 

2.      Have a Bedtime Routine

If you have trouble sleeping at night, try to create a bedtime routine that you follow each night. In doing so, your body will know it’s entering a restful time and will relax easier. The routine might include taking a hot bath, reading before bed, or doing some simple yoga. 

3.      Go to Bed Earlier

If you can’t sleep, instead of staying up until the wee hours of morning watching T.V. or using the computer, simply get in bed earlier. Even if you need to relax in bed for an hour or so before you fall asleep, that’s ok! Your body craves going to bed even if you don’t feel tired. Give it the rest it needs by making yourself get in bed and aiming to get 7-8 healthy hours of sleep each night.

How to Rate the Quality of Air Bed Reviews

When looking at any type of reviews, you need to be objective and examine whether you are reading a trustworthy review or not. This is especially true with air bed reviews as air beds are a significant investment so you need to weigh how much you can rely on this air bed reviewing stranger! While you should always make your own personal decision about air beds, reading trustworthy reviews will really help you determine your top air bed choices you should further investigate. 
 
Take these simple steps to help you rate the quality of anyone who writes and air bed review so you can determine whose opinion truly matters:

Air Bed Review Quality Check #1: How many reviews has the person made?

On site that allows product reviews, you should be able to look at the reviewer profile to see how many items they have reviewed. You can make some educated assumptions from the number you see here. If the number extremely high? Are they only reviewing one brand of air bed positively? If the answer is yes to both of these questions, you could possibly assume that this person could be getting paid by a specific company to post positive reviews. 

Air Bed Review Quality Check #2: What kind of language is the reviewer using?

If you are looking at an extremely positive review, use your objective eye to determine if this could be the Company themselves posting the review. Do this by examining the language used in the air bed review. Does this sound like sales copy, or a real person expressing how they felt about the air bed? Often air bed companies reviewing their own products are a dead giveaway with their use of too perfect sales pitch type language. 

Air Bed Review Quality Check #2: Do they post only negative reviews?

Also, if you look at the profile of the reviewer, do you see a trend of only negative reviews? If someone likes to review things they should have a good balance of positive and negative reviews. If you are only seeing bad reviews then this just might be the consumer that can’t be satisfied. If they make a point to only post negative things, these feelings may be exaggerated and some of the problems they have with air beds, might not affect you the same as it did them. Ignore petty complains and try to really hone in on those who have both good and bad things to say.

What are Air Beds?

Air beds have dominated the mattress market making them a hot topic. However, do you really know what air bed are and how they may benefit you? Here are my basic facts on air beds so you can get to know them better (and then maybe introduce them into your life!)

Air Bed Definition:

No longer are air beds what you blow up for temporary guests. Permanent use air beds today are a mattress that has a high quality construction and uses air chambers that inflate and deflate with air to create your desired amount of firmness. 

Air Bed Materials:

So you know that air beds are made with air chambers now that can adjust to your comfort, but what else makes them so comfortable? Well, the air technology is a huge part of it, but many air beds use other materials to enhance comfort to an even higher degree. All air beds have base support which keeps the bed from becoming saggy and this is usually made of reasonably thick memory foam. Air beds also often have a comfort layer that is made of memory foam or latex to give you that extra soft feel and additional body support. Also, air beds often use bamboo as their support system which is a superior material and gives your air bed a natural element. 

How Air Beds Relieve Pain:

Air beds are well known for relieving your body of pain. They can do this because instead of unwanted tension pushing into your body from springs, you only have the air supporting you. With adjusting the air chambers to your desired firmness, you can find a setting that naturally supports and cushions your body. Instead of tense muscles, your body will finally relax as it doesn’t have to do work to combat against the springs and no pressure is put on pressure points

Why are Number Beds so Great?

Number beds have swept the mattress market, but with a higher cost and more technicalities, you may be wondering how they work and WHY they are so great. Here is the lowdown on why number beds (also known as air beds) are great for you!

1.       Number Beds Provide Adjustable Comfort

The “number” in number beds is the level of firmness or softness that you set the air beds to. You have control of finding the perfect setting on number beds that makes your body feel the best. This will then relate to how good you sleep at night! With a spring mattress, memory foam, or any other kind of bed- you aren’t able to customize it to fit your needs as you can with number beds. 

2.       Number Beds Are Excellent for Couples!

Tired of your partner rolling around in his or her sleep and keeping you up? How about those nightly bathroom visits that leave you waking up throughout the night? Well, number beds rid you of this problem! Number beds have great motion isolation which means you don’t actually feel your partner doing their thing during the night- and hopefully, they will be doing a lot less of it regardless as they will be sleeping better on number beds too!

3.       Number Beds Will Last Longer than Your Normal Mattress

Finally, another huge reason why number beds are a great investment is because air beds have greater longevity than your average mattress. This is because number beds are built with many separate parts. So, if something breaks in your number bed, you can replace that specific part rather than having to get rid of the entire mattress. Also, many times if something breaks within number beds, the customer service team will be there to help you out and get the replacement part you need- possibly even free of cost depending on your warranty.

So here is 3 great reasons why number beds are a superb investment for a future of great sleeping! Have you experienced number beds? If so, what do you enjoy about them? Let me know!
