The therapeutic benefits you will start feeling once you buy an adjustable bed are many. If during the night when you are in bed you feel a burning sensation in your throat and you have a dry cough or if during the day you notice you have a sore throat or trouble while swallowing food, there is a big chance you are suffering from acid reflux or hiatus hernia. If you sleep on an adjustable bed with the upper half of your body slightly elevated, you will avoid the acids in your stomach coming up and therefore you won't experience any of those unpleasant symptoms anymore.
