Glideaway Adjustable Beds Full Reveiws
What makes Glideaway Adjustable beds Special?
Glideaway has adjustable bed models with the elevation feature. Glideaway is the only brand that has this feature. The feature allows the adjustable bed to pivot at an angle while still remaining flat. With a conventional adjustable bed, the bed itself angles itself by bending. Sleeping on a bent bed is okay if you sleep on your back. But it’s not okay if you sleep on your side or stomach. With the elevation feature, you get the benefits of an angled flat bed. This feature is great for people who sleep on their side or on their stomach.

Why is the elevation feature useful?
The elevation feature is a top choice for people who have acid reflux and/or sleep apnea. Among the simple remedies that doctors recommend for either condition is to sleep on an incline. The incline angle is usually at least 7 degrees. For acid reflux, this incline keeps stomach acids down. For sleep apnea, this incline sleep keeps your airways open as you sleep. The elevation feature angles the whole bed as it remains flat. Hence side and stomach sleepers can enjoy sleeping at an angle. Their spine alignment won’t be compromised. On a split king base, one person can sleep on an incline while the other sleeps flat.
