What is Fluid Retention?
Fluid retention, also known as edema, is a condition where excess fluid builds up in the body’s tissues, causing swelling. It most commonly affects the lower legs, ankles, feet, hands, and face.
How Adjustable Beds Help with Fluid Retention
Leg Elevation (Zero Gravity or Elevated Leg Position)
- Raising the legs above heart level helps improve blood circulation and allows excess fluid to drain back toward the core, reducing swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs.
Reduced Pressure on Veins
- Elevating legs and adjusting body posture reduces pressure on veins and lymphatic vessels, helping prevent fluid from pooling in the lower body.
Improved Lymphatic Drainage
- Adjustable positioning helps the lymphatic system work more efficiently, which is essential in removing excess fluids and toxins.
Customized Comfort for Sleep
- Poor sleep can worsen fluid retention. Adjustable beds allow users to find the most comfortable position for better rest, which supports overall body function and reduces inflammation.
Upper Body Elevation for Cardiac Support
- In people with heart-related edema, slightly elevating the upper body can help reduce strain on the heart and promote more efficient fluid regulation.
