Health conditions such as chronic pain, acid reflux or sleep apnea can be made worse by lying flat in a traditional bed. This is why many people with chronic health conditions opt for the comfort of an adjustable bed. In this presentation, we'll discuss the many ways that adjustable beds help to temporarily improve chronic health conditions.

1. Do You Need an Adjustable Bed?
Sleep Position and Your Health

2. Sleep Position and Health
If you have a health condition such as sleep apnea,
acid reflux or chronic pain, the way you sleep could
be making your condition worse. Lying flat in a
traditional bed aggravates these common health
conditions, making going to bed one of the worst
things you could do to your body.
Luckily, there is a way to get relief. In this
presentation, we’ll look at the various health
problems that can be helped by sleeping in an
adjustable bed.

3. Snoring and Sleep Apnea
While snoring is thought of more as
an annoyance, sleep apnea can
be deadly.
Both conditions are caused by
airway passages that become
blocked when you lie flat. This
causes the body to get inadequate
oxygen.

4. Snoring Solutions
By elevating the body during sleep, the breathing
passages are able to open, allowing oxygen to flow
freely.
The best adjustable bed for
relieving snoring and sleep
apnea is the Prodigy.
The Prodigy adjustable bed
has a special snore-relieving feature that changes
your sleeping position by 7 degrees and then
returns you to your favorite sleeping position after
30 minutes.

5. Acid Reflux and GERD
Another common health problem aggravated by
sleeping flat is acid reflux, which is commonly
associated with GERD.
When people with acid reflux sleep on a flat bed, their
stomach acid leaks into their esophagus, burning the
lining of their esophagus. This leads to temporary
pain and permanent scarring.

6. Relieving GERD
Luckily, relieving GERD can be as simple as elevating
your torso. By doing so, you allow gravity to keep
your stomach acid where it belongs. This is one of
the most natural and effective ways to treat
nighttime pain associated with GERD.
While this can be done temporarily with pillows, an
adjustable bed is a great long term solution. If
you’re on a budget, try the Simplicity adjustable
bed, our most affordable model.

7. Chronic Pain
Chronic neck and back pain are also negatively affected
by lying flat. This is because lying flat does not
adequately support your spine.
An adjustable adjusts to the curves of your body,
providing support without aggravating pain points.

8. Mattresses for Chronic Pain
Both a memory foam mattress and a natural latex
mattress are ideal for people with chronic back and
neck pain caused by spinal supplications. That’s
because foam mattresses provide pliable support
without aggravating pain points.
