Do adjustable beds help back pain?

Novacorr HiLo adjustable health bed

An adjustable bed lets you change your resting position and may help you find a more comfortable setup. Whether it is suitable for your back pain depends on your individual needs. It is not a cure for back pain and does not replace assessment or treatment from a health professional.

Comfort and positioning

Powered head and foot adjustment can make it easier to change position for resting, reading or watching television. The most comfortable position varies from person to person. Discuss your symptoms, mattress choice and positioning needs with your treating clinician rather than relying on a particular angle to provide pain relief.

Back pain has many possible causes. Healthdirect’s back-pain information explains assessment and management options. An adjustable bed should support your care plan, not encourage prolonged bed rest.

Features to discuss before choosing a bed

Compare the bed’s adjustment functions, dimensions, mattress compatibility and specified load limits. Electric height adjustment is available on HiLo models and is a separate function from raising the head or foot sections. Your OT or other treating clinician can help assess transfer height, access and any assistance you need.

Controls, memory positions and accessories vary by model and configuration. Ask Novacorr to confirm the features included in your quote. For a shared bed, dual adjustable health beds allow each side to be positioned independently.
