Positional relief from many painful symptoms, meaning a better night’s sleep

The exact function of sleep is not fully understood, but the effects of a lack of sleep seem to suggest that its main function is rest and repair of the body. So if you suffer from a condition, illness or disability that prevents you from getting a good night’s sleep, you are doubly disadvantaged as your body’s ability to repair itself will also be impaired. Research shows that a quality adjustable bed and the correct mattress – particularly with built-in massage, can give temporary positional relief to a host of common ailments, allowing you more of the rejuvinating sleep you need. If you suffer from any of the following you really should be sleeping in an adjustable bed:

ARTHRITIS	back to top
Symptoms: OSTEO – Pain and stiffness of joints. RHEUMATOID – Attacks soft tissue as well (ligaments and tendons). Alleviation: Correct body position eliminates the pressure points. Massage may ease the pain and reduce muscle spasms.

ASTHMA	back to top
Symptoms: Breathing difficulty due to spasm of the muscles of the airways. Difficulty breathing in and out, usually ‘wheeze’. Alleviation: Sleep with upper body elevated.

AMPUTATION	back to top
Symptoms: Bad circulation in stump, ‘phantom’ pain experienced in limb removed usually due to a neuroma in the scar. Alleviation: Massage may reduce sensitivity.

BRONCHITIS	back to top
Symptoms: Reduction in ability to breathe due to fluid build-up in the bronchial passages, obstructing the airways. Alleviation: Massage assists with expectoration of fluid and correct body position on bed improves drainage.

BACK PAIN	back to top
Symptoms: Lack of mobility, variable ache and attacks of acute pain. Alleviation: Good resting posture with back support, pain may be relieved further with massage.

EMPHYSEMA	back to top
Symptoms: Massive reduction in ability to breathe due to a breakdown in elasticity of lung, often combined with bronchitis Alleviation: Upper body elevation encourages relaxation and allows improved breathing as the diaphragm is lower.

HIATUS HERNIA	back to top
Symptoms: Leaking ‘valve’ at top of stomach, this allows acidic gastric juice to flow up gullet. Causes severe indigestion and scarring of the gullet. Alleviation: Raise top of body to prevent the back flow of gastric juices to gullet, giving immediate relief from discomfort and reduces risk of permanent damage to gullet.

LEG ULCERS	back to top
Symptoms: Open suppurating wounds. Alleviation: Elevation of legs gives greater comfort and reduces oedema and aids healing. Massage disperses fluids.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS	back to top
Symptoms: Damage to nervous system causing pain and weakness of muscles. Alleviation: Elimination of pressure points prevents bedsores. Massage greatly improves circulation.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY	back to top
Symptoms: Slow destruction of muscle, circulation slowed, lack of mobility, pressure sores, fluid retention. Alleviation: Massage assists wasted muscle and reduces fluid retention. Good posture reduces pressure sores.

MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE	back to top
Symptoms: Rapid deterioration of muscle, circulation slowed, lack of mobility, pressure sores, fluid retention. Alleviation: Massage and posture give general relief from multiple problems.

LEG OEDEMA	back to top
Symptoms: Fluid retention, swollen legs and ankles. Alleviation: Alleviation: Raised lower limbs and use of massage eliminates fluids.

PARAPLEGIA	back to top
Symptoms: Two limbs paralysed, pressure sores and fluid retention. Alleviation: Massage prevents sores and adjustability improves quality of life, with greater independence.

QUADRIPLEGIA	back to top
Symptoms: Paralysis from neck down. Alleviation: Use of adjustable bed with modern control and massage can add new dimension to patient’s life.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE	back to top
Symptoms: Lack of co-ordination of message from brain to limbs, spasm or tremor. Alleviation: Patient made more comfortable by improved posture support. and use of massage to reduce muscle spasm.

STROKE	back to top
Symptoms: Partial or total paralysis with involuntary muscle spasm or tremor. Partial or total paralysis of limb or limbs sometimes irritated with muscle spasm or tremor. Alleviation: Elevated sleep position beneficial, bed adjustability assists entry and exit, pressure points eliminated.

THROMBOSIS	back to top
Symptoms: Blood clots mainly generated in legs. Arterial thrombosis often needs legs down to assist blood flow, whereas vein thrombosis needs legs up. Alleviation: Elevation of legs improves circulation and using massage may assist development of new veins.

VARICOSE VEINS	back to top
Symptoms: Incompetent valves of veins mainly in legs. Alleviation: Elevation of legs assists pain, massage improves circulation and assists in dilation of blocked vein.
