The Uses of Air Beds
By Kent Pinkerton
Did you know that using poor quality mattresses is one of the major causes of back pain? An air bed is the answer to this problem.
Sleeping in a bed that is uncomfortable equates to sleeping in the wrong position the whole night. To solve this problem, turn over or flip your mattress every now and then. Replace your mattress if it is already 12 to 15 years old. You might want to consider other alternatives to traditional spring beds.
Air beds are better since you can adjust their firmness. They conform to your shape naturally; they help maintain the proper alignment of your spine during sleep. These beds are quite expensive and can even go for as much as $1,000.
A less expensive alternative to air beds is the air mattress. A lot come with dual controls that are capable of adjusting the bed?s firmness.
Please take note of these other considerations when buying air beds:
First, the pump should be of high quality. The silent pump needs more maintenance since flap valves and other parts easily break down. Since there is no need to constantly adjust the bed, noise will not be much of an issue. It is important to choose a pump that only has a few parts that are moving. There should be an audible sound when in use.
Second, you should look for durable side rails in the design of the air bed. Choose one that is padded with thick foam 0n the perimeter so that the edges are sturdy.
Third, remember that a nice layer of memory foam along the top of the air bed is even better than an ordinary pillow top. Aside from being more comfortable, it proves to be more effective in spreading points of pressure. It is more durable than conventional pillow tops. Although there are pillow tops that have additional fixtures like wool that can regulate your sleep temperature. It can make you warm during winter and cool during summer.
So while shopping around for air beds, keep these guidelines in mind.
