Amerisleep Southampton - Mattress Store in Houston, TX

We offer two adjustable bed models, the entry-level Adjustable Bed and the more advanced Adjustable Bed+. Both offer similar benefits, although the Adjustable Bed+ has a few added features.

You can raise the mattress’s head with either base to control snoring, sleep apnea, and acid reflux symptoms. Similarly, raising the mattress’s foot can ease symptoms of edema, Restless Leg Syndrome, diabetes, and high blood pressure. People who find it difficult to move, such as arthritis sufferers, may find mornings are easier when they use the base to sit up before getting out of bed.

Most people decide against an adjustable bed because of its high price. It’s common for an adjustable base to cost over $1,000, so people who don’t need a base to soothe a medical condition may choose an inexpensive foundation instead.

Side sleepers with back pain often benefit from a supportive mattress with a medium feel. Softer mattresses can allow a person’s shoulders and hips to sink in too far, while a too-firm mattress can cause pressure to build up in a side sleeper’s body. Medium mattresses like our AS3 models strike the right balance between cushion and support.

When it comes to memory foam and hybrid mattresses like those we make, no, a box spring is not better than slats. The internal coils inside a box spring are too far apart to create consistent support, with the gaps leaving room for the mattress to sink between coils. Using a box spring with a foam mattress typically voids its warranty because the bed is more likely to lose its shape.

Slats are an excellent support system because they create a stable surface while leaving room for air to flow through the mattress and wick away heat and moisture. For the best support, there should be no more than 3 inches of space between each slat.

Sitting for long periods won’t necessarily ruin a mattress, but mattresses also weren’t designed to be used as seats — a mattress is meant to distribute and support the weight of a person lying down. Sitting up can concentrate your weight in one spot, increasing wear and tear.

If you want to maximize your bed’s lifespan, it’s best to avoid using it as a chair. However, sitting up in bed now and then isn’t going to destroy your mattress.

Strictly speaking, you don’t need a mattress protector. However, it’s never a bad idea to use one because it keeps external factors such as pests, allergens, and moisture from damaging your mattress. With a mattress protector, your bed is likely to last longer than you expected.
