How an Opera Bed Can Help with Joint & Bone Health
We've listed some of the key features to consider when choosing a bed to help enhance comfort and make everyday easier.
1. Get in and out of bed easier with height adjustment
This feature lets you lower or raise the entire bed height:
- Reduces strain on knees, hips, and lower back when getting in/out of bed - Ideal for stiff joints or limited mobility.
- Lowers to a seated position for safer transfers (e.g., post-surgery or during flare-ups).
What type of beds include this feature: Opera profiling beds
2. Sit up properly and supported with adjustable positions
Independently adjust the head and leg sections to create tailored positions:
- Elevating legs reduces swelling in
knees/ankles (common with osteoarthritis).
- Raising the head improves spinal
alignment, alleviating pressure on arthritic hips and shoulders.
What type of beds include this feature:
Opera profiling beds, Opera adjustable beds
3. Ease pressure on your joints with zero-gravity
Elevates the legs slightly above the heart to replicate weightlessness:
- Promotes circulation to reduce inflammation in swollen joints (common with osteoarthritis)
- Relieves spinal compression for a neutral, pain-free posture
What type of beds include this feature:
Opera adjustable beds. However, this position can be achieved on an Opera profiling bed by adjusting the head and leg rest sections.
