First , the bed is designed as a ‘ split system ’, which eliminates the ‘ partner disturbance ’ with which we are all familiar . At the push of a button , the head and foot of both sides can be raised and lowered according to your preferred sleeping position . I have found that watching TV or reading in bed has become so much more comfortable . Instead of being supported by three pillows , my back is now supported by the incredibly comfortable mattress .
Each side of the bed has its own remote control . It ’ s just a matter of pressing a button until either your back / head , and your legs , are comfortable . You can raise the head or the foot of the bed separately , or at the same time .
Each side also has a built-in USB A and C port , allowing you to charge your devices overnight or while using them in bed , and let ’ s not forget the built-in LED ambient lighting . It ’ s just a matter of pressing the button on the remote !
The beds built for use in the home offer the same features as the Caravan Bed .
But one of my favourite features is the massage function . You can select either the head of the bed , or the legs , for a massage , or both at once . Like the LED lighting , the massage function will switch off after 10 minutes , but you can set it to a 20 or 30-minute timer instead .
And what happens if you find that perfect sleeping position but someone comes along and changes it ? Well , that ’ s why Better Living Australia has incorporated two ‘ memory ’ functions on the remote , along with a pre-set ‘ zero gravity ’ position .
It is available in king , queen or ‘ Californian king ’ sizes , comes with washable bamboo covers , can support up to 240kg on each side , and both the bases and mattresses will sit inside most commercially available bed frames , should you wish to do that .
DESIGNED FOR CARAVANS
As mentioned , this bed is readily available to suit caravans . Each base and mattress is available in a standard size measuring a total of 76x194x23cm ( WxLxH ). Each side ( mattress and base ) weighs 39.5kg ( 79kg total ).
Obviously that ’ s something to factor in , regarding the overall payload of the van , but you could subtract from these weights the weight and support structure of your van ’ s existing mattress .
