Best Adjustable Beds and Mattresses for Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition that affects millions of people across the world. It can cause chronic joint pain, stiffness and inflammation, all of which can significantly disrupt the quality of sleep for arthritis sufferers. It can be difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position, which can lead to restless nights and stiffness in the mornings.
That’s why it’s so important to find ways to improve your wellbeing if you suffer from arthritis. One of the ways you can do this is by choosing an adjustable bed and mattress that works for you. This can provide targeted support in the areas you need the most, helping you to break the cycle of broken sleep and improve your overall health and wellness.
What Makes Adjustable Beds a Smart Choice for Arthritis?
Adjustable beds can be a good choice if you suffer from arthritis, as they allow you to position the bed precisely where it offers the most reduction in joint pressure and pain – something which will be different for everyone. Elevating the head can help to reduce strain on the neck, shoulders and upper back, while raising the legs helps to improve circulation in the lower limbs, which can decrease swelling in the ankles, knees and hips.

Choosing the Right Bed and Mattress for Joint Support
As well as an adjustable bed, a good mattress can go a long way to relieving the pressure and pain caused by arthritis. Your mattress should support your frame, helping you to maintain proper spinal alignment, while also offering high levels of cushioning, particularly around sensitive joints like the hips, shoulders, knees and ankles.
Here at HSL, all of our mattresses feature innovative spring technology and luxurious natural fillings. These features work seamlessly together with our adjustable bed bases to contour your body beautifully. Responding to your body’s unique shape and weight distribution, our mattresses offer targeted support where you need it most – however you sleep, and even if you change positions during the night.

Our Adjustable Bed Sizes
Adjustable beds aren’t one size fits all, so it’s important to understand the different options we have available, to ensure you get one that properly fits you and supports your body.
This bed is ideal for solo sleepers or smaller bedrooms. It’s a great choice for those who want the benefit of an adjustable bed, without it taking up excessive space. Having a smaller bedroom doesn’t mean you need to compromise on a good night’s sleep, as with the 3ft Single, you can still enjoy personalised comfort at the touch of a button.
3ft Single
This option offers extra width for added comfort, perfect for solo sleepers who love to spread out or change positions during the night. With the extra width of a 4ft bed, you can more easily find a comfortable position, without feeling constrained, but it’s still compact enough for smaller spaces.
4ft Small Double
This is a bigger bed that perfectly fits most standard bedrooms. It offers ample space for both single sleepers and couples, striking a great balance between space efficiency and comfort.
4ft 6" Double
If you’re looking for a more generous option, consider the 5ft King. It can be configured either with one mattress or two separate mattresses. That makes it a great choice for couples where one or both partners have arthritis, as each mattress can be positioned independently of the other, allowing each person to sleep in the position that’s best for their own needs.
5ft KingHelpful Features to Look Out For
When choosing an adjustable bed and mattress, there are a few features that can increase your comfort and make the bed easier to use. Look out for these helpful features when shopping for your new bed:
Easy remote controls: These allow you to adjust your bed position at the touch of a button, as opposed to manual controls which require you to physically strain to change the position.
Optional massage features: Some adjustable beds offer a massage feature, with gentle vibrations that can help to reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve circulation. This can be a great way to relieve pain and help you drift off to sleep at night, or to loosen tight joints in the morning, reducing the stiffness that many people experience when waking up.
Built-in support systems: Look out for built-in support across the head, back, hips, and knees. This helps to maintain a natural spinal alignment while reducing pressure on sensitive joints.
Stylish design: Just because your bed is functional doesn’t mean it can’t also be attractive. Modern adjustable beds, like those from HSL, look great in any home, with a host of styling options and practical accessories to ensure your new bed fits in with your existing furniture and home decor.
