Adjustable Beds
Adjustable beds with inbuilt ripple massage!
Jul 7th
Are the medical claims for ‘massage’ justified? After all, there are tens of thousands of masseurs in the UK, many of them talking up the medical benefits of massage – ranging from ‘letting the body heal itself’ to ‘relaxation assists in wellbeing’ to ‘it helps poor circulation’. You name it, they say it. And these practitioners are all unregulated too.
Cue frowning and gnashing of dentures from the British Medical Association. Not that I particularly care, as the BMA is itself one of the greatest frauds perpetuated onto humanity. As exhibit A, your honour, I put forward the £1 billion swine flu hoax.
My view? Nearly every claim about the therapeutic benefits of massage is true. Ancient and modern cultures, especially those untainted by Western allopathic medicine, have known since the dawn of man about the benefits of massage.
Talking to Ayurvedic Indian practitioners and Chinese doctors, it appears that massage releases and opens the subtle prana/chi channels as well as stimulating the blood flow. This allows the body to ‘breathe’ on many levels and lets cells exchange energy, oxygen and blood easier and quicker. Simply put, it rejuvenates the body and helps it repair itself.
It’s therefore good to see some of the UK’s leading mobility companies adding inbuilt massage systems to their adjustable beds and recliner chairs. For people with mobility problems, especially the elderly who are often stiff and inflexible, massage systems can be a huge boost to their health. No, they won’t cure any medical conditions, but they will help.
One of the best massage systems available for adjustable beds comes from a UK supplier based in the leafy shires near London. The company is called Comfort Plus Products and they have invented what they delicately call the ‘ripple massage’. Don’t get tongue tied on that one or you might receive a slap and a caution.
Anyway, Comfort Plus Products’ 10 point therapeutic massage system offers soothing relief for a variety of conditions particularly those associated with cramp and poor circulation. All you have to do is switch it on, lie back and let the inbuilt massage system do its job.
Massage is good for you, unlike a ‘Mars a day’
Does a massage system add more cost to an adjustable bed? Yes, of course, but it’s worth it on so many levels, not least to help a person unwind after a busy day not to mention the health benefits.
Comfort Plus Products is now offering an Adjustable Bed Package that includes the ripple massage system, a memory foam mattress, a free headboard and free memory foam pillow. It’s a superb offer, just click here to find out more.

You have made your adjustable bed…now lie in it
Dec 14th
As we all know at Mobility Compare, the way we sleep affects our day, our life and most importantly our health, so it’s crucial that we get the best night’s sleep possible.
Indeed, if you suffer with joint pain, snoring or arthritis it’s never a case of getting out of the bed on the wrong side, but rather any side of the bed at all. Sleep – or rather lack of it – can become the primary issue that affects every aspect of our life.
That’s why the popularity of adjustable beds is soaring nationwide, as people who have difficulty sleeping are lining up for these comfortable cures. With more gadgets than James Bond’s Q, adjustable beds can help people maintain a soothing position throughout the night – essential for a good night’s sleep.
Leaving us shaken and stirred at MobilityCompare is the multi-functional Dreamaway Classic – a traditional memory foam adjustable bed, which comes with built in Cyclo Massage and Easy Reach features.
Whilst these adjustable beds perhaps won’t tell you a bedtime story, the Cyclo Massage enables troubled sleepers to enjoy a relaxing and deep massage whilst dozing off. What better way to help with those disturbed nights than your own personal masseuse, and the 3-way-setting includes rotation and vibration as it targets specific spots.
At a modest price of £400 the Dreamaway Classic adjustable bed can hold up to a body weight of 18 stone, is easy to assemble and the reflex foam mattress is 6’6 long which is longer than a usual bed as it takes into account the mattress extending.
We also have soft spots for the beds at Willowbrook, particularly The Victoriana and The Renoir. Both adjustable beds have been designed in a particular periodic or contemporary style in order to match other room furniture or complement a décor. Don’t worry though they still have a mattress that bends into 5 different positions for maximum comfort.
Let’s also not forget that a good mattress is essential for a pain-free, distress-free night’s sleep, and King Koil’s Cassandra’s twin slat waffle finish means that the middle of the mattress can be made softer or firmer, depending on the individual’s requirements.
The Cassandra chips in at just over £900, but the feeling of getting up gently feeling energetic and refreshed is priceless. The mattress is also made from premium cashmere wool and hypo allergic latex which makes it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Of course, should you need more assistance with keeping your balance then bar accessories that attach to your bed are available.
