We have FOUR types of Electronic Adjustable Bed Systems. ALL our mattresses are designed to be paired with ANY of Axel Bloom's adjustable systems. The Silverstar and Vitaflex Systems use two motors to adjust the head, shoulder and leg regions. The Austroflex System has three-motors, the third motor is optimized for the neck and shoulder. The CareDesign System has three motors and is ideal for home dependent users who wish to also have vertical height adjustment to ease access onto and off the bed, change clothes - in addition to back and leg adjustable positions. All of the systems are suitable for addressing health conditions: GERD, acid reflux, back injury and for enjoying reading, writing and watching TV.
The Silverstar System provides a firm support, particularly for the back and is suitable for people who have a weak back or have back and hip complications.
It can elevate the back to a HIGH ANGLE of 75 degrees and the feet up to a 65 degree angle. The head region also has a manually adjustable section which can further raise the head and shoulder region another 15 degrees so that the cumulative head and back will be almost at 90 degrees from the horizontal position. This adjustable system provides the highest elevation of all our adjustable bed models. Many writers and those who require assistance getting into and out of bed favor this model because of this feature. The legs and ankles can be raised to a 55 degree position. As the leg region is raised, the knee area bends naturally for further comfort. Every two slats has individual rubberized suspension supports at each end. Thus there are 15 sets of rubberized suspension supports for the 30 slats in a Twin XL suspension system. This allows the slat foundation to bend in a wave-like motion to support the body and reduce stress on the spinal cord by aligning it to be as straight as possible as you lie down. In addition, you can make the middle of the slat foundation softer or firmer for the back by moving six rubberized inserts which are positioned between the middle slats and rest on an additional three slats which add further support to the back region.
The Vitaflex System provides a medium firm support with its unique array of more than sixty pods fused to a lattice array of slats.
Each pod not only supports the mattress but can move in multiple angles to optimize the support of the back and spinal cord so there is minimum stress on the spinal cord. It is particularly comfortable for SIDE SLEEPERS as the pods dynamically adjust to allow the hip and shoulders to rest in a position where the spinal cord is kept as straight as possible with minimal stress. In the shoulder regions, the pods (colored in orange) are softer than the other (gray-colored) pods to accommodate shoulder sleeping. The back section raises in two parts: first the head section curls forward and raises gently, then the back follows until it reaches a 55 degree angle (more than suitable for reading, watching TV or for offsetting the effects of acid-reflux or other similar health condition. The leg and ankle region can be raised to a 45 degree position. As the leg region is raised, the knee area bends naturally for further comfort.
The Austroflex (afx) System has the most advanced body support system. The head and shoulder region has a motorized movable section, separate from the back and foot/leg regions.
This is particularly supportive for people with neck and shoulder ailments. The pod system provides the most advanced body and spinal cord support. Each pod is designed to gently bend in multiple positions to provide the maintain the spinal cord in as straight a position with subtle, stress-free support for the hip and shoulder regions. In addition, each pod can be made firmer by inserting a four-prong clip into the pod. Thus, depending on the body shape and back condition, one can create by firming-up individual pods, a custom support foundation for the mattress and thus the body. And if your body changes over time, you can remove or add these inserts to accommodate different requirements for support to achieve the best sleep experience. The back can be elevated up to a 70 degree angle and the motorized section can be further tilted another 20 degrees so, if you desire, the back can be an a right-angle position. The feet and legs can be brought up to a 55 degree angle. As the leg region is raised, the knee area bends naturally for further comfort. In the shoulder region, the green-colored pods are softer than the other brown-colored pods to provide more comfort for shoulder sleepers. With the three-motorized sections, very fine adjustments can be made to the position of each section for different types of rest: sleep, reading, writing, adapting to health conditions. Finally, three positions can be memorized for recall using the hand control remote units.
The CareDesign system is for people who have need for VERTICAL adjustable features in addition to our neck/shoulder and leg/feet adjustable features.
Operation is easily performed in any position and height with the push of a button on a remote wireless handset. The height from the floor is from 22 inches up to a maximum 38 inches (including the top of the mattress). It is suitable for bed widths between 35 and 39 inches. The maximum load capacity is 330 pounds. It can be fixed mounted to a bed frame which we can also supply from our range of more than 20 bed frames. Either the firmer Silverstar or Austroflex adjustable systems can be selected for adjusting the back/shoulder and leg/knee sections. (see adjacent panels for further descriptions of both systems). In either case, there will be two-motors for the back/shoulder and leg/knee sections plus a manually-adjustable head section to tilt the head further forwards. A wireless remote control unit is standard. It controls all the three motors for the vertical height adjustment and the back/shoulder and leg/knee positions. This system is designed for home care. The vertical height adjustment makes it easy to get into and out of bed, to assist someone who needs to change clothes, move their position in bed and reduce the back stress of the caregiver who is aiding the person in and out of bed. Finally, the person in bed can enjoy a custom sleeping position or the read or watch TV by adjusting the back/shoulder and leg/knee positions. The motorized system has a backup battery pack so the system can function for a limited period in the case of power failure in the household.
