Can You Buy Good,Cheap “Adjustable Beds”? Why Not? – by Emmanuel DeFreitas

5 Wheel Scooters — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:47:11 +0000

Adjustable beds no doubt come in a wide assortment of models, styles, and a plethora of amazing features. Unfortunately, adjustable beds are also capable of causing severe bleeding of the average person’s bank account. If you love the advantages an adjustable bed can provide for you and your loved ones, there is an alternative to buying a brand new shiny product.
Cheap adjustable beds, or should I say, cheaper adjustable beds, are available from a number of different sources. In this article I will try to highlight a few sources where you can start your quest for the perfect adjustable bed at the perfect, or at least, affordable price.
I would definitely try looking in the classified ads of my local newspapers for used, second hand adjustable beds. I tried this myself in the local papers here in Toronto, and I must admit, the pickings were slim, but then again I only did this over a short time frame as research for this article. Hopefully, you will have more luck in your area. Adjustable beds come in two different types, either standard or heavy duty. For the average person or couple, the standard model is what you should be looking for.
One major advantage of finding a good cheap adjustable bed in your local area is that you will not have to worry about shipping costs. If you are a “tire kicker” like me, you will also have the opportunity to go and see, touch, lie in etc., your potential new adjustable bed before you buy. With a little luck, your search could end here.
If on the other hand you are unsuccessful with your local newspaper classifieds, there are always online websites like ebay that sell everything under the sun, including used adjustable beds. If you see an adjustable bed that catches your eye and fits your pocketbook, check out the packing and shipping costs. This is very important. Make sure the seller tells you exactly how much it will cost you to have the adjustable bed packed and shipped to your home. Ask the seller what kind of warranty or guarantee he is willing to give you, to make sure the frame and mechanical and or electrical gizmos work properly, to at least ease your mind. Last but not least, if for some reason you are unhappy with the adjustable bed when you receive it, ask the seller what will it cost you to ship the item back so you can recoup your money, Find out all this information before you even attempt to place a bid on any item.
One very important thing to keep in mind if you are looking for a cheap used adjustable bed. Do not even think of getting a second hand mattress. Ughh, the thought of lying on a mattress that was used, and possibly abused, by someone else conjures up thoughts in my mind that might keep me up tonight. So, now you have to factor in the cost of a new mattress. You cannot use a conventional mattress on an adjustable bed. It has to be an adjustable bed mattress because adjustable bed mattresses are specially designed to be flexible and contour to your body, fitting like a glove and easing stress of your spinal alignment. Just as in adjustable bed prices, adjustable bed mattresses come in a multitude of different materials, sizes and prices.
If you still have not been fortunate enough to find a cheap adjustable bed using the previous methods, you might have better luck looking for adjustable beds on sale or specials on discontinued models. For this you will have to do research on a site like mine. You will find ads that point to manufacturers of adjustable beds of every price range and variety. You are most welcome to come to ADJUSTABLE-BED-CENTER and check out my sponsors, leave a comment, or just say hello. If you are on my site already; lucky you.
Last but not least, “caveat emptor”, or, let the buyer beware. A cheap and good adjustable bed is a possibility, but it is ultimately up to you do the legwork, or fingerwork, if you are on the web, to get a good deal. Good luck.

Acid reflux is a particularly annoying condition, particularly during sleep that allows stomach acid to back up into the esophageal area causing discomfort that ranges from mild to extreme, depending on the individual. An adjustable bed can alleviate acid reflux by allowing the individual to elevate their head. Sinus conditions are another physical condition that can made much more bearable by simply raising the head section of the bed.
If you suffer from edema or swelling of the legs, an adjustable bed can be positioned to elevate the legs and facilitate the flow of blood by letting gravity assist in doing the work.

Adjustable Beds to Relieve Your Back Pain – by Emmanuel DeFreitas

5 Wheel Scooters — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:46:20 +0000

Adjustable beds by their very existence as mechanical marvels of design and function are perfectly adapted to alleviate many different symptoms associated with varied conditions that lead to back pain. If you suffer from lower back pain, your condition may be the result of a multitude of causes, many of which the sufferer has no clue as to how they got them in the first place.
The causes associated with back pain include muscle spasm or sprains, ligament sprains, joint problems or a slipped disk. Actual physical disability from instances such as work related accidents are another well-known cause of back pain. In all these instances, an adjustable bed can help alleviate your sore aching back. Why can an adjustable bed help you? You do not have to take my word for it. I am not a medical expert. But I do know how to quote them.
Through my research, I have found that medical experts advise that the best way to ease back pain is to position yourself with your back on the floor, with pillows under your knees, hips and knees bent, with your feet raised on a chair. Now imagine yourself in that position. Looks rather awkward, doesn’t it. Can you imagine doing this every time your back begins to act up? Now imagine yourself, if you can, in an adjustable bed perfectly aligned to provide the same comforting relief. Looks a lot better on an adjustable bed than on the floor, doesn’t it
There are other tips from medical advisors on relieving back pain. Heating pads are recommended to relax painful muscle spasms and medications such as Motrin, Aleve, Aspirin, Orudis and Tylenol, also reduce pain and swelling. Once again, an adjustable bed can help you!
Some adjustable beds, more notably electric adjustable beds, come equipped with soothing heating units built in. Some electric adjustable beds even have a vibrating feature to massage away that nagging sore back. As far as any relief you may get from taking medications, the adjustable bed manufacturers haven’t come up with anything to replace them yet. You will just have to place them on your night table next to your adjustable bed.
Adjustable beds come in a multitude of different shapes and sizes, models and types to fit most any budget. There are basic, hand operated adjustable beds, basic electric adjustable beds that elevate and configure themselves at the push of a button on a remote control unit, to the top of the line, everything you could ever want in an adjustable bed, electric adjustable bed. This type of electric adjustable bed will have all the bells and whistles and awe inspiring electronic gizmos, but will also carry a hefty price tag. But if you can afford it, go for it. After all, it’s your back that’s hurting.
For more serious back conditions as in the case of a person with a debilitating physical impairment, getting a hospital adjustable bed would be advisable. These adjustable beds are constructed far more sturdily in order to continual use in an acute care situation. If you find that an adjustable bed is just a little too pricy for you, there is an alternative and I don’t mean lying on the floor with your feet propped up on a chair.
If the price of the adjustable beds you like is out of your reach, you can always look for a good, used, cheap adjustable bed. I wont go into the details of how to get your hands on one of these cheap adjustable beds, other than to say that there are articles available that go into the specifics. Getting a good, used adjustable bed at a good price is not as hard as you may think.
One thing to remember, regardless of which adjustable bed you finally decide to buy, you will need a new adjustable bed mattress to go along with it. A mattress from an average flat bed will not fit or function properly on an adjustable bed. Just as with adjustable beds, there are varying degrees of quality, materials and prices associated with adjustable bed mattresses.
So, in closing, I say, let the shopping begin. You’ll only have your back to thank you, but it will be well worth it.

Adjustable Beds are Stress Busters – by Emmanuel DeFreitas

5 Wheel Scooters — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:46:06 +0000

Adjustable beds are stress busting wonder machines. Quite a statement to make until you sit back and examine precisely what stress is and how an adjustable bed can help you cope with it. The first thing to keep in mind is that there are millions of people who have absolutely no stress at all and have no need whatsoever for an adjustable bed. You can find many of them by visiting any cemetery. These people do not suffer from stress because they are all dead. You see, life and stress go hand in hand and the amount of stress you are under is a great indicator of exactly how alive you actually are.
We all need a certain amount of stress in our lives in order to function normally. Stress is a form of natural conditioning from way back in the days of old when an adjustable bed meant moving rocks and boulders around and our primary daily concern was evading predators that wanted to eat us. There is little that I can think of that would elicit the natural fight or flight reaction than coming face to face with a hungry pack of lions. Like our ancestors, today’s stress factors make our heartbeat speed up, our blood pressure increase and our breathing quicken.
Most modern day stresses, however, do not call for either fight or flight. In the world of today, the scariest thing we will probably ever come across will be an angry, demanding boss or an overzealous tax collector. Our experience of stress is generally related to how we respond to an event, not to the event itself. When you feel out of control or under intense pressure, you may experience the physical, emotional, or relational symptoms brought on by negative stress. Anything we can do to alleviate negative stress will greatly improve our lives.
Adjustable beds are crafted in such a way as to lighten the aftermath of stressful, everyday situations. After a hard day, all you need to do is just lie down in an adjustable bed let the built in features pamper your body and mind back to normal. Adjust the head and foot levels using the remote control to the most comfortable position for your body. If you have no other feature on your adjustable bed, the sense of comfort you will experience by doing this alone should make you feel like a different person.
If your adjustable bed is equipped with heat and massage units, you are fortunate enough to be in a position to blow your stress back to the Stone Age. Turn on the vibrating feature on your adjustable bed and you have thousands of tiny, invisible fingers kneading away any tension built up over the day. Many adjustable beds have auto shut off motors that will turn off the vibrations after a set time, just in case you get too comfortable and fall asleep before you really wanted to. However, if your day was especially stressful, and you need a little more help to unwind, turn on your heat unit on the adjustable bed to add an additional level of mind-numbing comfort.
The massage unit on adjustable beds, or perhaps I should use the term electric adjustable beds, can also save you a lot of money over the course of the year. It could get rather expensive if you were the type of person who would go to the local spa for a full body massage whenever you needed to unwind. With an electric adjustable bed, you never have to book an appointment and it is always ready to administer that massage you need, whenever you need it. Sorry Inga, I really don’t want to take business away from you. I am just telling it as I see it.
The best thing we can do to help us cope and prepare for the stresses of modern times is to get good nights sleep. Once again an electric adjustable bed is the perfect instrument for providing an environment conducive to safe, long lasting, re-energizing, stress relieving sleep. An adjustable bed is the perfect antidote to that poor sleep robbing excuse for a bed many people spend one third of their lives in at night. After a good night sleep on an adjustable bed you will feel sharper both mentally and physically providing you with the ammunition you will need to get you through the day.
In conclusion, I would like to re-iterate that stress is an everyday sign that we are alive and doing the best we can. The only thing that I can recommend is not carrying harmful stress levels with us longer than we have to. Get the best adjustable bed you can afford and boot your stress levels as far away from you as possible. If you need an added giggle to help, just imagine our cave man ancestor adjusting the boulders and rocks for the first adjustable bed in history. We have come a long way.

Adjustable Bed Shopping Tips…Perfect Bed, Perfect Price – by Emmanuel DeFreitas

5 Wheel Scooters — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:45:17 +0000

Is there anybody that does not absolutely adore making that perfect shopping decision? You buy the perfect item at an unheard of perfect price. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could get that adjustable bed you’ve had your envious little eyes on for quite some time at an amazing price. Not only would you enjoy that deep rejuvenating sleep on your new adjustable bed, you would also be able to watch your friends turn green with envy at your shopping prowess. You would be hailed as a shopping dynamo…a market wizard…a master negotiator…a lord among peons. The bragging rights alone would help you sleep better at night even without your adjustable bed.
How will you accomplish such a deed? By keeping yourself focused on the job at hand and shopping with your head instead of your eyes. The first thing you need to do is make a concise plan and follow it regimentally. Internet sites like this one are treasures of information. There are a lot of adjustable bed manufacturers out there, all proclaiming to have the best deal since the island of Manhattan was purchased from the local Indian population. Do they all provide the same value for your dollar? Of course not.
How do you know you are not getting ripped off? By taking the time to research the adjustable bed market as thoroughly as is humanly possible. In order to find the perfect adjustable bed, you must narrow your search criteria to the exact type and features within a specified price range. Do not get sidetracked by the Monster Sales Event schtick. Is there anything in North America that is not at least 20% off (Oh, sorry…I forgot about gas prices)?
Little known adjustable bed manufacturers may offer beds that are similar to the better-known brands (Craftmatic, Leggett and Platt, Tempur Pedic etc.) at a lower price, but, are you really getting the same quality? Probably not. One major advantage you have on the Internet is the ability to see everything that a particular adjustable bed manufacturer makes. You can get exact measurements, see the different styles and features, and see them in a natural bedroom setting. If you come across something that you like, you can usually order the catalogue and have it sent to your home.
Talk to friends, family, fellow workers, at least the ones you can trust, that have similar adjustable beds to get a better feel for the product. Check out consumer reports on adjustable beds from a reputable source like the BBB. Look for testimonials on the Internet that are not fake and sponsored by the manufacturers. Do not leave your home until you feel that you are armed with all the information you will need to get your hands on that adjustable bed bargain.

You will then be ready to head out into the marketplace and find a local store in your area that sells the adjustable bed you have decided to buy. If you need help, check out my link to a searchable database of U.S. Adjustable Bed Merchants that covers every town in all 50 States. Sorry Canada, I haven’t found a similar database for you yet. Once you know which stores you are going to bless with your presence, remember to organize as many notes and information that you have gathered and TAKE IT WITH YOU. If you rely on your memory you will most definitely find that it will let you down at the most inopportune moments.
The rest of this adjustable bed treasure hunt is up to you. Sorry but I do not give tips on bargaining. You probably are better at it than I am anyway. Be confident in the knowledge that you go forth armed with the most potent weapon known to man. Information. With the information you have so painstakingly acquired, no adjustable bed salesman has a chance. Good Luck.

Adjustable Bed Information on the Internet-Part 2 – by Emmanuel DeFreitas

5 Wheel Scooters — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:45:07 +0000

One of my earliest attempts to convey an opinion on the adjustable bed market was made on this site on May 30th of this year entitled “Adjustable Bed Information on the Internet”. In that article I attempted to paint a picture of The Internet marketing machine as it pertained to the sale of adjustable beds and related merchandise. After almost three months, I have decided to revisit that article and see if the observations I made back then still hold any water.
A quick check of the first page in Google on a search for “adjustable bed” shows some interesting results. The number one top position in ranking is “Craftmatic”, which is closely followed by an article for back pain from a Spine Health site. The association between adjustable beds and back pain seem to have formed a binding relationship, which bodes well for sufferers.
Various manufacturers and retailers of adjustable beds with subjective levels of information on their particular line of products hold the remaining eight top ranking positions. At least when you decide to buy an adjustable bed you will have plenty of pretty pictures to look at to help you make your choice. How the average person is able to choose between one manufacturer over another, based on the information provided, is unfathomable to me.
The accountability factor simply does not seem to exist. On this site, I do not pick one adjustable bed manufacturer or retailer over another. You will find articles and sources of information to help you make as wise a choice as you are capable of making. Your ultimate shield against a poor buying decision is the information that you can gather from as many sources as possible.
When searching for an adjustable bed, try using different search terms like” adjustable bed information” or “adjustable bed articles” or “adjustable bed + back pain” to get the information that you need. When there are more than ten million results for the term “adjustable bed” alone, finding the right information requires a certain amount of fine tuning. Narrow your searches as much as possible and you should get better, more relative results.
Have things changed since my article of March 30th…. not much. But the good news is that I am unable to find the character that had a site about adjustable beds with absolutely no information at all about the product he was trying to sell. He had a landing page filled with pay per click links and it was as if he was telling you to get lost but pay him on your way out. I quess the Internet is just a little bit better after all.
