Why Regular Adjustable Bed Servicing Is Important

An adjustable bed is something we rely on every day, often for many hours at a time. Whether you use your bed for sleeping, reading, watching television or assisting with mobility, keeping it properly maintained is important for its long-term performance.

At Life Changing Beds, we recommend having your electric adjustable bed base professionally serviced every 12 months to help maintain its functionality, reduce unwanted noises and identify potential issues before they develop into more significant problems.

Why Should You Service Your Adjustable Bed Every Year?

Just like we regularly service our cars, an adjustable bed also needs ongoing care and maintenance.

Your adjustable bed contains motors, moving mechanisms, electrical components and connections that work together to provide smooth adjustments. With regular daily use, these components can experience wear and may require attention over time.

Annual servicing can help:

• Reduce unwanted noises: Cleaning and lubricating appropriate moving components can help minimise squeaking, creaking and other noises.

• Identify problems early: Regular inspections may detect loose fittings, worn components or developing faults before they become more serious.

• Maintain smooth operation: Checking the motors, mechanisms and connections helps keep your adjustable base functioning as intended.

• Support long-term reliability: Preventative maintenance may help reduce unnecessary wear and extend the working life of your bed.

• Check important safety features: Testing electrical components, the remote control and battery backup helps identify potential safety or operational concerns.

What Is Included In An Adjustable Bed Service?

Our professional adjustable bed servicing is carried out by two approved, experienced in-house technicians, who complete a thorough inspection and maintenance check of your bed.

Our servicing includes:

1. Frame inspection and tightening: Checking and tightening the fabricated frame connecting the adjustable platform.

2. Motor and mechanism lubrication: Lubricating appropriate components using suitable non-toxic, anti-corrosive lubricants free from acid, silicone, kerosene and petrol-based fuels.

3. Warranty point-to-point check: Inspecting relevant components and connections for signs of faults or wear.

4. Battery backup testing: Checking that the emergency battery backup system functions correctly, where fitted.

5. Professional hygiene cleaning: Removing accumulated dust, lint, grease, old lubricants and debris from the bed base and its mechanisms.

6. Castor and leg inspection: Tightening and checking the lockable castor and leg systems.

7. Safety and functionality testing: Testing moving parts, adjustment features, the remote control and transmitter.

The Hidden Dust And Debris Beneath Your Bed

One of the most overlooked aspects of adjustable bed maintenance is the accumulation of dust and lint beneath the base.

Over time, dust, fibres and other debris can collect within the channels and moving mechanisms underneath your adjustable bed. Many clients may not realise these areas need regular cleaning, particularly because they are difficult to access without safely repositioning the bed.

When debris builds up, it can contribute to unwanted noises, interfere with moving parts and potentially increase wear.

Our technicians thoroughly clean these areas during servicing to help keep the mechanisms operating smoothly.

Why Battery Backup Testing Matters

Many adjustable beds feature an emergency battery backup system designed to provide limited operation during a power outage.

For people with reduced mobility or those who rely on their adjustable bed for assistance with positioning, this feature can be particularly important.

During servicing, our technicians test the battery backup system to check that it is functioning correctly. This helps identify battery or connection issues before an unexpected power outage occurs.

Servicing Completed By Our Own In-House Team

At Life Changing Beds, we take pride in having our own experienced two-person in-home team rather than relying on subcontractors.

Our technicians have extensive experience delivering, installing, maintaining and servicing adjustable beds. They are also trained in manual handling, allowing them to safely reposition suitable bed bases onto their side when required to access the mechanisms underneath.

Our team also carries a selection of replacement parts, meaning that some faults identified during servicing may be repaired during the same visit, subject to parts availability and the type of repair required.

We believe that ongoing support is just as important as the initial purchase.

At Life Changing Beds, our commitment to our clients continues long after their adjustable bed has been delivered and installed.

Our experienced in-home team can assist with annual adjustable bed servicing, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, battery backup testing and replacement parts where required.
