Adjustable Beds & Getting What You Paid For

Posted on October 30th, 2007 in Information by admin

An adjustable bed can be of use for many, many years and because of this, the price tag attached to it is nothing to scoff at. If you want to make sure that you’re getting exactly what you paid for – in a good way, of course – there are several characteristics or features that your adjustable bed must possess.

Warranty, Warranty, Warranty – It always comes down to warranty. At any time and for any reason, your adjustable bed may just break down and a warranty gives you the right to dial the company’s equivalent to 911 just as long as you didn’t do anything to contribute to the adjustable bed’s malfunction.

A good warranty for an adjustable bed usually lasts from ten to twenty years. Don’t give your trust too easily when you discover adjustable bed products with lifetime warranties. If you read the fine lines, you might discover that the lifetime they’re referring to is as long as the lifespan of a butterfly.

Secondly, do make sure that your warranty contract has stated everything there is to state. Full technical support must at least cover the first twelve months since owners will still be in the adjustment period at this point as they try their best to figure out how to assemble and operate the adjustable bed and so on. Also, check the contract if it includes free home service labor for the first year.

The Look and Feel – Just because you’re buying an adjustable bed doesn’t mean it has to look like an adjustable bed, does it? Back in the old days, consumers were offered no choice when it comes to adjustable beds and all of them ended up with scary looking metal boxes in which they had to sleep in night after night.

But now, adjustable bed companies have gained more wisdom over the years and they’ve realized the need to improve the look and feel of their adjustable bed products if they want to expand their target market. Today, you have the option to go for an adjustable bed with just the right look and feel that you’d know instantly it would need no adjusting – pardon the pun – when it becomes part of the house furniture.

Buttons, Levers and Controls – Whatever and however the way your adjustable bed is to be controlled, make sure that the controls can be reached by the user without difficulty. Next, do make sure also that there’s a single button for each adjustment option or feature.
