If you're in the market for a new bed, you may have heard about adjustable bases. These special bases can elevate your head and feet at the push of a button, leading to increased relaxation, better sleep and a slew of health benefits.
While many folks think adjustable bases are only for people who sleep on their backs, it's not true! Adjustable bases are good for side sleepers too.
Why Adjustable Bases Work for Side Sleepers
One of our GhostBed Sleep Experts, Greg, has helped hundreds of side sleepers find their perfect bed. He says many of these folks benefit from adjustable bases.
“As a side sleeper, you don't have to elevate your bed a whole lot to get benefits,” says Greg. He's found that even raising the head of the bed a few degrees can help side sleepers breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Best Adjustable Base Positions for Side Sleepers
Unlike back sleepers, side sleepers may not enjoy the feeling of elevating their feet. Doing so may even cause discomfort, so proceed with caution.
That said, Greg has found some side-sleepers with hip pain experience relief from elevating their feet just a few degrees. Experiment (gently!) and see what works best for you.
