Can I Use an App to Adjust My Bed Frame?

Forget everything you thought you knew about adjustable beds.

Adjustable Bed Remote Apps & Frames Have Come a Long Way

The image that a lot of people have in their heads about adjustable beds is of a hospital bed. A remote control bed that raises your head or your feet, folds in the middle, and is controlled with a paddle on a long, thick cord. 

The truth is, modern adjustable bed bases are a long way from your standard hospital bed. Let’s talk about modern adjustable beds and base features. Did you know they can be controlled by an adjustable bed remote control app that is easily downloaded to your phone?

The concept is the same.  Adjustable beds are designed to lift your body in certain ways to make you more comfortable, help you get in and out of bed, and to help you sleep. But that’s where the similarities end. 

For starters, modern adjustable beds are designed to prioritize your comfort. It’s not just about lifting your head or your feet in a V-shape; it’s about moving with the contours of your body. 

Instead of just lifting the upper half of your body, adjustable beds can lift your head, so that you don’t need to prop yourself up on several pillows to talk to people in the room, or read a book, or watch TV. You can even adjust firmness levels, which gives you the customized comfort and support that you’re looking for.

You won’t get the feeling that you’re always looking down your nose at everything because you’re on a flat backboard. You’ll be propped up and positioned in just the right way. The same thing goes for your feet! Your adjustable bed won’t just bend you at the waist, but at the knees as well. 

The adjustable bed elevates your feet in a way that feels natural. The head elevates, giving you improved circulation, and with the adjustable legs feature you can be perfectly comfortable. The customization available with an adjustable bed base can help with acid reflux and sleep apnea. 

Now, you don’t have to choose between interior design and a good nights sleep. These beds won’t leave your bedroom looking like a hospital room. Instead of just lifting your head and leaving a big space between you and the headboard, modern adjustable beds move to hug the wall so that your bed will always feel connected to the headboard, and your bedroom will never have that unsightly mechanical gap exposed. 

Plus, adjustable bed technology is moving forward in leaps and bounds. Not only can you get a better motor installed depending on your tastes (either one with more power or one that is silent --or a combination of the two), but you can also get modern advances like USB plug-ins in the bed frame. 

No need to bend and stretch to get to the electrical outlet to charge your device. With an adjustable bed, you can just plug right into the power supply of the bed which is within easy reach of your hand. There’s even under bed lighting so you won’t have to worry about walking around in the dark.

But the biggest innovation to come to adjustable beds and remote controlled mattresses is the fact that you can connect the bed frame to an app on your phone. 

That’s right: no need to have that paddle with the thick cord to control your bed. No looking for a missing remote control. You simply install a bed app onto your phone, which you always have with you anyway.

Control Your Adjustable Bed Frame with Your Phone

Controlling your adjustable bed frame has never been easier, thanks to a convenient app on your phone. There are many different apps available from different manufacturers, but they’re all easy and intuitive to use. And you can download them the same way you get every app: from Google Play or the iOS App Store.

Most apps have a simple interface that shows you the side view of your bed, displaying each articulated part and how they move. With easy large buttons, you can move each part up and down and back and forth. It’s remarkably easy.

The advanced features are where these apps really shine. Set a timer on your phone and it will ease you into waking up by gently and slowly raising your body. Set specific positions as defaults. Once you find that perfect sleeping position, you can save it and then just tell your phone to take you back to that perfect spot every night. The same can be done for the perfect reading position, or the perfect TV-watching position. 

If your bed has full body massage features, you can control those from your phone as well, changing the intensity and mode of the massage as the bed allows. You can even set an alarm to wake you in the morning with a massage!

When it comes to modern-day adjustable beds, you really can’t go wrong with a phone app. Just as you’d never go back to a regular bed after using an adjustable, you’ll never go back to a conventional control after using the app.
