			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>While advice commonly given when buying a new mattress suggests that ‘you try as many as possible’ we have done the ‘try before you buy’ for you.  Our range of mattresses represents the best selection available on the market suitable for adjustable beds. Each mattress provides a high level of comfort and support, a good life span as well as being covered in natural fibre, allowing your skin to breathe.</p>
<p>Remember you can combine the adjustable bed base with any of the mattresses.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>So………which mattress is the best for you?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong><em>What mattress is commonly supplied with Adjustable Beds?</em></strong></h4>
<p>The <strong><em><a title="Pillowtop Innerspring Adjustable bed Mattress" href="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/product/pillowtop-innerspring/">Pillow-Top Innerspring Adjustable Mattress </a></em></strong>is our best budget buy mattress. It represents excellent value for money and provides a good level of comfort and support. The open ended innerspring coils are joined together through flexalators top and bottom which are able to move separately in response to weight. This inbuilt flexibility gives you comfort with the body of the coil providing the support. The flexible spring system allows the mattress to bend easily as the adjustable bed base moves.</p>
<p>The Pillow Top Innerspring is available in a soft, medium or firm pillow top.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/section-sprung-foam.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-501" title="innerspring_pillowtop" src="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/section-sprung-foam-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong><em>What is the ultimate adjustable bed mattress?</em></strong></h4>
<p>The <strong><em>Deluxe Zoned Pocket Spring Mattress</em></strong> has become the preferred choice of our customers as of the last 12 months of being released.</p>
<p>Picture a honeycomb structure with hundreds of self-contained zoned coils. The coil structure allows each spring to react independently, adjusting to your bodies’ weight independently to relieve pressure evenly. The different weight rated coils are zoned into sections giving addition support through the hip area while softer at head and feet zones. Real world testing has shown the pocket spring mattresses to be the most comfortable type of mattress for this reason.</p>
<p>“Even weight distribution promotes a supreme level of comfort and a good sleep.”</p>
<p>The memory foam Pillowtop component of the mattress also assists with support of your body weight and adds to the overall sense of comfort.</p>
<p>The edges of a “zoned pocket spring” contain a side support system to retain shape while entering and exiting the bed.  A common issue with cheaper mattresses and especially innerspring are sagging sides. If the edges of your mattress collapse and sag then it is considerably harder to get in or out of your adjustable bed.</p>

<h4>W<strong><em>hat if I am sensitive to dust mites or mould?</em></strong></h4>
<p>All of our mattresses include Enviro Fresh Protection Standard</p>
<p><a href="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/enviro-fresh_logo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-492" title="enviro-fresh_logo" src="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/enviro-fresh_logo.jpg" alt="dustmite protection" width="93" height="78" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>We use a multi-function anti-microbial product which simultaneously works to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, moulds and house dust mites.</li>
<li>The hygiene and safety of a wide range of everyday items can be protected by the application of <span>Enviro-fresh</span>.</li>
<li><span>Enviro-fresh</span>attacks mite populations in two ways: firstly, by acting as a contact repellent forcing mites to move away from treated areas, and secondly, by inhibiting the growth of natural food sources such as yeast, moulds and bacteria.</li>
<li><span>Enviro-fresh</span>helps prevent the spread of disease and infection caused by contact with fabrics which have been contaminated by sneezing or coughing.</li>
<li><span>Enviro-fresh</span> also maintains odour-free surfaces by killing the moulds which produce the smells.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>To further protect against dust mites and other nasties. A mattress made of Latex could be the answer</p>
<p>Our <strong><em>Pure Latex Gold Mattress </em></strong>made from 100% New Zealand latex (rubber) is known to be the highest quality latex on the market. A latex mattress should last from 20 to 25 years. They are a great option for allergy sufferers as the natural properties of latex inhibit mould and dust mites.The Latex Gold mattress has a firm inner core of latex with a soft top layer of quilting.  This combination provides a luxurious, spongy feeling, without the sense of sinking in to the mattress. The inbuilt flutes in the latex allow air to circulate assisting in heat and moisture dispersal. As Latex Gold is by nature an insulator, it will warm to your individual body temperature. Environmentally friendly and naturally healthier a Latex Gold mattress is the perfect mattress for some people! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Latex-Image-5e.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-502" title="Latex Mattress" src="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Latex-Image-5e-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><em>What is the best mattress for a person who is bed bound?</em></strong></h3>
<p>The <strong><em>Pressure Care Memory Foam Mattress</em></strong> is ideal for people who are in bed for extended periods of time. ‘Memory foam’ also known as ‘viscoelastic’ is made from polyurethane. It has a different cell structure from other foams making it less ‘springy’. As a result the foam is slower to recover &#8211; retaining the ‘memory’ of the weight or shape for a time after you have moved.</p>
<p>Sensitive to weight and pressure a memory foam mattress moulds to the body shape supporting the weight evenly rather than at the points of weight concentration at the head, shoulders and hips as in regular mattresses. The even distribution of support provided by the latex promotes better circulation and helps prevent pressure ulcers.</p>
<p>Pressure care range also offers you the choice of a quilted or waterproof cover.</p>
<p>Both normal and bariatric mattresses are available in all sizes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/memory1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-503" title="pressure care" src="http://www.liftbedchair.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/memory1-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>

<p><strong>Don’t compromise your comfort by putting a cheaper, less comfortable, less supportive mattress on the high quality, durable steel frame and wooden base of an Advanced adjustable bed!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Therapeutic wave massage and the application of heat are two of the oldest healing treatments known to mankind&#8230;.</p>
<p>You have the option of including massage as an extra health and comfort feature in any of the lift chair and adjustable bed ranges.</p>
<p><strong>Many health conditions will benefit from the relaxing effect of massage:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Arthritus</li>
<li>Blood Circulation</li>
<li>High and Low blood Pressure</li>
<li>Insomnia</li>
<li>Back Pains</li>
</ul>
<p>The massage motors operate quietly and both the frequency and intensity of the waves can be adjusted to suit your individual comfort level.</p>
<p>Massage improves circulation and helps promote better oxygenation of the tissues. People with restricted movement owing to a medical condition or age will gain considerable health benefits from the inclusion of massage into any of the Easycare adjustable bed and chair range.</p>
<p>The application of heat can also have great benefit in relieving muscular aches and pains and sore joints. Heat pads can be built in as an optional extra to any of the Easycare adjustable beds and chairs. The luxurious comfort of any Tilt-n-Lift  Electric Easycare Chair can be enhanced  with the addition of foot and or back massage and  heat units. The Tilt-n-Lift Sleeping Chair can also be significantly enhanced with the incorporation of massage and heat functionality as many people spend much of their day in a chair.</p>
<p>Our adjustable bed range also gives you the choice of including massage motors and heat pads to give you that added comfort.</p>
<p>Contact us today for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Our <strong>adjustable electric beds</strong> provide welcome relief and assist many people on their return home and recovery from hip surgery.</p>

<p>The Hi-Lo adjustable bed provides the same functionality as the adjustable electric bed with the added capacity of height adjustment from the floor to bed base between 310mm to 610mm. This makes it easier for you to get in and out of bed as well as easier for anyone who may be providing professional care such as a physiotherapist.With the adjustable bed set in a low position you will be able to get into bed with greater ease than usual.</p>
<p>When getting out of your hi-lo adjustable bed, you can raise the back rest to be able to sit up. Once sitting up you can swing your legs around to be in seated position on the side of the bed. The bed is able to rise lifting you to your feet. A side pole is also recommended to provide a firm fixture to grip.</p>
<p>The Hi-Lo Easy-care adjustable bed is a must for anyone having difficulty getting in and out of bed after surgery or suffering other health problems and also assists carers and other health workers to provide professional care.</p>

Bed sizes range from Queen Single through to Super King. Couples can still be together but enjoy the comfort of a dual bed with separate controls for each side.</p>
