In the past, electric bed bases were primarily used for medical purposes, due to the relief they provided to people suffering from back problems and, more generally, to those experiencing muscle and joint pain. However, in recent years, this type of bed base has appealed to a wide range of sleepers because it allows them to enjoy personalized comfort while sleeping. It is indeed possible to adjust the bed’s position to suit different needs. This flexibility is what sets the electric bed base apart from other types of bed bases. But is it a good investment? Here’s everything you need to know about electric bed bases.
The Electric Box Spring: A Balance Between Technology and Sleeping Comfort
Electric box springs feature the same support systems as other box spring models. They are therefore made up of either wooden slats or synthetic rubber pads. There are also models on the market that combine these two technologies to provide the mattress with a soft and effective support surface. However, they stand out because of their unique structure. While most bed bases have a fixed structure, this is not the case with electric bed bases, which feature a so-called “articulated” structure. This means the bed base can bend at certain points using quiet motors. Thus, with a remote control, you can adjust the shape of your bed base for greater comfort. For example, you can raise your upper body or legs to achieve a more relaxing sleeping position.
Ultimately, electric bed bases are state-of-the-art products designed to promote the sleeper’s well-being. Other factors confirm this.
The electric bed base offers "customized" comfort
A fixed bed allows you to enjoy a good night’s sleep, but it has the drawback of not offering many options for the sleeper’s comfort. For example, we’re often forced to use two or three pillows, or toss and turn in every direction before finding the ideal sleeping position. Even then, the comfort doesn’t last very long. Over time, sensitive sleepers will eventually suffer from insomnia.
An electric bed base offers personalized comfort, since you can adjust its position using a remote control. This allows the sleeper to get comfortable however they like. This experience ensures greater relaxation. They’ll also be able to fall asleep more easily and enjoy deep, restorative sleep.
An electric bed base is the perfect ally for your physical health
An electric bed base does more than just contribute to the sleeper’s comfort. In fact, several studies have shown that it offers health benefits. More specifically, an electric bed base relieves tension and stiffness caused by spinal misalignment. It alleviates pressure points and allows the muscles to relax, promoting restful sleep.
The benefits of an electric bed base are also noticeable for people who suffer from back pain caused by sleeping on firm, poorly suited surfaces—or, conversely, on surfaces that are too soft. Thanks to the built-in firmness slider, they can adjust the firmness of the mattress to their liking, based on their body type.
This type of bed base is also an excellent tool for preventing circulation-related issues. A simple press of the wired remote control is all it takes to raise the leg section. This promotes venous return and prevents the discomfort caused by heavy legs or varicose veins. Pregnant women are particularly affected by this issue. They will no longer have to stack pillows under their knees to find a comfortable position. The fact that the bed base can be adjusted to any position is a real advantage.
The electric bed base provides good sleeping independence
A good night’s sleep can be compromised if your partner tosses and turns a lot at night. Fortunately, some electric bed bases offer independent sleeping surfaces to solve this problem. The kit consists of two adjustable electric beds, equipped with wired remote controls and mattresses made of natural latex or memory foam. This way, one partner no longer risks disturbing the other with their sudden movements.
In addition, with an electric relaxation bed base, you can keep your upper body elevated relative to the rest of your body. This is a real advantage for:
- couples in which one partner snores at night;
- couples in which one partner develops respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, or sleep apnea.
In any case, there is no risk of disturbing the other partner, who can therefore relax and wait to fall asleep.
The electric bed base is suitable for all uses
These days, a bed isn’t just for sleeping. We also like to curl up in it to read a book, listen to music, use our computer, or simply relax. Given this, an electric bed is highly recommended. Equipped with an electric bed base, it adapts to your every need to provide you with the best possible sleeping experience. Its “customizable” comfort lets you enjoy long, pleasant evenings spent reading or watching movies, as well as cozy breakfasts in bed and much more.
Choosing a Relaxation Bed Base: How Much Will It Cost You?
The only drawback of an electric bed is its price. Because it contains one or more motors, the cost of an electric bed base starts at 1,500 euros for models with electric slats. Models with electric lifts, on the other hand, are priced at an average of 2,000 euros.
However, the price of a massage bed frame isn’t really a barrier to purchasing one. More and more manufacturers are offering affordable prices to meet customer demand. That said, the bed frame’s features remain the same. This is true of the Kipli line of electric bed frames.
At Kipli, we've been working for several years to offer practical, high-quality electric bed bases designed for your well-being. There's always a Kipli model that fits your budget.
All of this information leads us to conclude that buying an electric bed base is a good investment. It’s easy to maintain—all you need is a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the slats or supports. It’s also worth noting that it’s cost-effective, as it has a lifespan of 10 years, like most bed bases manufactured in France.
