How an Opera Bed Can Help with Heart & Circulation

Discover how elevation, pressure relief, and circulation-boosting positions can ease swelling, improve breathing, and reduce strain on the heart.

1. Ease swelling and heart strain with legrest adjustment

Independently raise the legs or upper body for comfort and therapeutic support

Lifting the legs to a 15–30° angle helps drain fluid from swollen feet and ankles, vital for managing oedema and heart failure

Raising the upper body improves breathing and reduces pressure on the heart which is ideal during hypertensive episodes

Leg elevation also boosts circulation and reduces pressure in the feet, helping prevent diabetic foot ulcers

2. Sleep in a heart-friendly position with Zero Gravity

A pre-set position that gently raises your legs above your heart to create a weightless, pressure-relieving ‘S’ shape:

Encourages blood flow back to the heart, improving circulation and reducing venous pressure (essential for cardiovascular health)

Takes pressure off the lower back and joints while supporting better blood pressure regulation

Promotes relaxation and deeper sleep by placing the body in a neutral, low-stress position - ideal for those with hypertension or heart-related fatigue

What type of beds include this feature:

Opera adjustable beds (can also be set manually on a profiling bed)

3. Breathe easier and protect circulation with auto-regression

The backrest lifts smoothly while sliding backwards, avoiding compression of the chest and abdomen:

Eases breathing and chest comfort, particularly helpful for those with hypertension or heart-related breathlessness
Promotes healthy circulation by reducing pressure on the pelvis and avoiding shear forces when sitting upright

Prevents sliding down the bed, helping stay
comfortable in position with less need for repositioning

Opera profiling beds

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone help me choose the right bed or mattress for my condition?

Yes of course. Our team offers free, personalised advice based on your health needs and home setup. Choose how you’d like your consultation by phone, video or in-person or at one of our showrooms.

How can elevating your legs in bed help with swelling?

Raising your legs encourages fluid drainage back to your core, reducing ankle and foot swelling, which is especially important for heart failure or diabetes-related oedema.

What bed position is best for circulation and heart health?

Elevating your legs above heart level such as in a Zero Gravity position, can support blood flow, reduce swelling, and ease pressure on the heart. This position is particularly beneficial for people with hypertension, oedema, or heart-related fatigue. That said, the ideal sleeping posture can vary depending on individual needs. Our range of beds lets you customise your position find the most comfortable one.

Is there a trial period in case the bed isn't right?

We offer a 10-night home trial on our profiling and adjustable beds. You can try the bed in your own home and, if it’s not the right fit, return it for a refund (T&Cs apply). It’s our way of making sure you feel confident in your choice.
