ULTRAMATIC - Sundance & Hotel Classic Adjustable Bed Package - DOOR CRASHER

When you lie flat with your legs straight, the hip flexor muscles that run from your thighs to your lower spine pull your lower back into a deeper arch. Raising your knees lets them relax, so your back can settle. Raising the back section slightly also spreads your weight between your back and hips. On your back, gravity pulls your tongue and the soft tissues of your throat toward your airway, where they vibrate as you breathe: that's snoring. A gentle incline lets gravity work with you, and helps keep stomach acid in the stomach.

About 8 in 10 adults have lower-back pain at some point, and the right position can make resting far more comfortable, including while you recover from an injury or surgery. Less snoring can mean deeper, less interrupted sleep for you and your partner. If you've been told you have sleep apnea, ask your doctor whether sleeping with your upper body raised could help.

The Zero-Gravity position is based on the neutral posture NASA observed in astronauts: without gravity, the body naturally settles with the hips and knees gently bent and the upper body slightly raised. On a bed, this angle spreads your weight more evenly and reduces strain on your lower back. With your legs raised near heart level, gravity helps blood flow back toward your heart instead of pooling in your legs. A preset or memory button takes you back to the same angle each time, without adjusting the head and foot separately.

Many people find Zero Gravity the most restful way to unwind or ease into sleep. Raising your legs can help tired, swollen legs feel lighter, and with your favourite position saved, getting comfortable takes a single press. The back-lit buttons are easy to find in the dark, and if the remote slips out of reach, the app is on your phone.

Propping yourself up on pillows tends to let your lower back slump while your head is pushed forward, which strains your neck and back over time. A raised back section gives your whole spine a firm, even incline to rest against. At night, bright overhead light can suppress melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep; low, soft light near the floor lets you see without that jolt of brightness. Charging ports at the bed also mean you can keep your phone close without stretching a cord across the room.

Reading, streaming a show or catching up with family from bed feels more comfortable when your back is properly supported, and your phone or tablet charges right at the bedside. If you get up in the night, the under-bed light shows the way without fully waking you or your partner.

The frame carries everything on the base and everyone in the bed, and hinged sections let the sleep surface bend where your body bends, at the back, hips and knees. Weight capacity is the total load the base can lift and hold; motors working well within that limit run more smoothly and quietly, and wear more slowly. A thick, fabric-wrapped border frames the sleep surface and gives the base a finished look.

The bed moves you gently and quietly into position, without jolts or motor noise to disturb a sleeping partner. Add a back-up power supply so you can always return the bed to flat. It's a dependable base, backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

When you sit on the edge of the bed, your feet should rest flat on the floor with your knees at about hip height. From there, your legs can push you up to standing using your strongest muscles, with less strain on your knees and lower back. A bed that's too low makes you push up from a deep squat; one that's too high leaves your feet dangling. Adjustable legs let you fine-tune the height to suit you.

At the right height, getting in and out of bed takes less effort and feels steadier. Raise the head section first, and you can start from a sitting position instead of pushing up from flat, which many people find easier on their back and joints. Add a headboard to finish the look of your room.

Quilting stitches the cover fabric to the padding beneath it. Conventional quilting sews in continuous lines that pinch the padding down, creating firmer channels across the surface. Tack & jump quilting stitches a small pattern at one point, then lifts and 'jumps' to the next, so more of the padding is free to loft up. Inside the Euro Top, a dense ReFlex transition layer sits between the soft comfort foam and the coils, slowing your sink so support builds smoothly from soft to firm.

Fuller, loftier padding cushions you the moment you lie down, without the firm ridges that stitch lines can leave behind. Because support builds gradually beneath it, your hips and shoulders stay comfortably supported, a lot like settling into a well-made hotel bed at the end of the day.

In a traditional innerspring, coils are wired together, so pressing down in one spot pulls on the coils around it. Pocket coils are each sewn into their own fabric sleeve, so every coil compresses under its own load. That lets the surface follow the curves of your body, giving more where your shoulders and hips press in and supporting the areas in between. Tempering is a heat treatment that makes steel tougher, and 13-gauge is a relatively thick wire for firm, durable support.

Independent pocket coils conform to the natural curves of your body, so you feel supported rather than pushed against. And because each coil moves on its own, there's less movement across the sleep surface when your partner shifts, which may mean fewer disturbances and a more settled night.

Sitting on the edge of a mattress concentrates your weight on a narrow strip of the surface, rather than spreading it along your whole body as when you lie down. Without reinforcement, the coils at the edge compress under that load and the edge dips: that's the 'roll-off' feeling. SolidEdge™ reinforces the coils around the perimeter, so the edge resists compression and stays level, keeping your support consistent right out to the sides.

A steady, level edge lets you sleep right to the side without feeling you might roll off, giving couples more usable room. It's also a stable place to sit while you put on your shoes, and a secure edge to push up from as you get out of bed.
