Adjustable bed frames and mattresses have innovated sleeping for those with sleeping pains and sinus issues overnight.

Adjustable beds, generally coming with remote control options for an easy adjustment, can create a more comfortable sleep environment. Furthermore, split double beds can even allow for multiple people to use the varied elevating settings to create compromise and eliminate negotiation when it comes to comfortable sleeping arrangements for bed-sharers.

Schneider wrote in an email that the main reason someone may be interested in an adjustable bed is to relieve pain in sleeping.

"The main reason is comfort, given that most people seem to have sleep issues related to how their body is positioned in the bed, particularly if they have musculoskeletal issues or chronic pain," he said, also noting that sleep apnea and acid reflux are other medical issues that could potentially be resolved by an elevated bed.

Schneider also stated that for issues not resolved with an adjustable bed, medical intervention may be necessary.

"Just like with many 'sleep hacks' they’re typically non-medical solutions to problems that may not be clinically significant. However, not all sleep issues can be fixed with an adjustable bed, so if there’s any question or concern (particularly if issues don’t resolve), then it’s appropriate to discuss the options with a healthcare professional," Schneider said.
