Adjustable Beds can be helpful for both comfort and for medical reasons. For those that experience swelling and build-up of fluid in the ankles, feet and legs, using an adjustable bed can raise the feet and legs above the heart, dispersing fluid and swelling, making walking less uncomfortable. Back pain can be helped by adjusting the bed to remove stress off of the vertebrae. And, for those with arthritis, the adjustable bed can allow you to raise the head and lower the foot of the bed, making it easier to get out of bed.

Lift Chairs make it easier if you have difficulty getting in and out of your chair. They are also beneficial for caregivers that are assisting a loved one.
