After taking delivery in August this year, we sat down with the lovely Bryda-Anne Benvenuti for her honest review of our company, team and game-changing adjustable beds...

Every now and then our Sleep Specialists stumble across a customer whose life journey touches the very essence of what it means to be human.
In the story of Bryda-Anne Benvenuti, this was especially true and yet we could not have anticipated the real impact our Galaxy Adjustable Bed and Soflex® Mattress would have on Bryda's health and well-being.
After listening to Bryda-Anne explain her limited mobility and independence, our Sleep Specialists were determined to help her achieve a better quality of life through deep sleep and funding under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
"The Zero Gravity Position is a great feature of the Galaxy Adjustable Bed for people with chronic pain like myself."
Searching for the Perfect Adjustable Bed
Bryda-Anne contacted us back in May this year interested in our adjustable beds and pressure reduction mattresses.
As she describes in her testimonial, Bryda was actually enquiring into our adjustable beds for her father, who had broken ribs as a result of a workplace injury.
After discussing her father's health needs with our Sleep Specialists, Bryda realised our adjustable beds and pressure relieving mattresses could also make a world difference to her mobility and independence.
As a registered NDIS provider, our Sleep Specialists guided Bryda through the process of achieving NDIS funding and was quickly approved for our assistive technology including the Galaxy Adjustable Bed Base, Soflex® Mattress with Silk Floss Topper and Atlantis Lift-Assist Recliner Chair.
"Before I came across the Galaxy Adjustable Bed, my life was full of pain. I could sneeze or take a step and put my back out."
As a grown woman living with spina bifida, Bryda-Anne was able to gain back capacities she had never thought possible. Find out what Bryda has to say about our Galaxy Adjustable Bed and Soflex® Mattress in the video testimonial below.
What is Spina Bifida?
Spina bifida is a birth defect of the spine in which part of the spinal cord and its meninges are exposed through a gap in the backbone.
It occurs when a baby's spinal cord fails to develop properly in the womb and is known to vary in severity.
For most people, surgery is an option to close the opening in the spine. However, it is often too late to prevent damage to the nervous system which leads to a variety of symptoms including:
weakness or paralysis of the lower limbs,
bowel incontinence and urinary incontinence,
loss of skin sensation in the lower limbs, and
learning difficulties.
It is an incredibly difficult disability to live with, as the spinal cord forms part of the body's central nervous system — it is the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and back again.
It's not hard to imagine then, how Spina Bifida can have a debilitating impact on day to day life and lead to a range of motor and sensory problems.
Our adjustable bed bundles offer the perfect solution to a wide range of disabilities including spina bifida.
With all of the latest features and technology available, the Galaxy Adjustable Bed with Soflex® Mattress and Silk Floss Topper is Australia's favourite sleep system.
