Adjustable bases

An adjustable base lets you find your perfect position for reading, relaxing or easing aches, with the flip of a remote. Think about the positions and features that matter most to you, plus whether your base needs to fit an existing bed frame or headboard.

About adjustable bases

Adjustable bases let you raise or lower your head and feet at the press of a remote, easing pressure points and finding your perfect position for reading, relaxing or unwinding. Pair with a flexible mattress built to move with the base, from memory foam to latex and hybrid constructions.

The difference between a standard bed base and an adjustable base

A traditional bed base provides solid support, but an adjustable bed base offers a completely personalised sleep experience. Using electric motors, it allows you to raise or lower your head and feet, helping to improve circulation, relieve pressure points, and enhance overall comfort. Unlike fixed bed bases, adjustable frames are designed to flex with compatible mattresses, ensuring smooth movement without compromising support.

While often associated with health benefits, adjustable bases are for any adult. Whether you're looking for a more ergonomic way to unwind, a better position for reading or watching TV, or simply more flexibility in your sleep setup, an adjustable base adapts to your lifestyle, offering comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Choosing a mattress for an adjustable bed

To get the most out of your adjustable base, you need a mattress that moves with it. Some mattresses are specifically designed to be compatible with an adjustable base, ensuring they flex easily without compromising on support. Here are some of the best options:

  • Memory Foam Mattresses: These contour to your body, offering support and comfort as they smoothly flex with the adjustable base.

  • Latex Mattresses: Naturally flexible, latex mattresses adjust to your body's shape and provide long-lasting durability.

  • Hybrid Mattresses: A mix of innerspring coils and foam, these provide both support and flexibility, making them ideal for adjustable bases.

  • Other Flexible Options: We also offer gel-infused and certain innerspring mattresses designed to move seamlessly with your base.

Explore our mattress options and create your ultimate sleep environment with the perfect pairing.

Compare iAdjust, MLILY and TEMPUR® adjustable bases

Each brand takes a slightly different approach. iAdjust adjustable bases run from the Bronze, with head and foot adjustment and phone control, to the Platinum, which adds massage, pillow tilt and an adjustable lumbar zone, with prices from $1,199. The MLILY adjustable bases start with the iRecover at $1,499, with Zero Gravity and Anti-Snore presets, and step up to the four-motor iRecover Ultimate. TEMPUR® adjustable bases start with the quiet Ease 4.0 from $1,399, and the Ergo Smart models sense snoring and lift your upper body twelve degrees on their own. For a king or super king bed, ask in-store about pairing two bases side by side so each side adjusts independently. Try the positions in-store with a trusted Sleep Advisor before you choose.
