Best Adjustable Beds For The Perfect Sleep

The Prodigy 2.0 Leggett & Platt Split King Adjustable Bed is a new model from one of the leading manufacturers of adjustable beds, and it offers you a wide range of features and functions to give you a great night’s sleep.

Firstly, with this bed, you get three different levels of adjustments, which are head tilting foot tilting, and pillow tilting. While foot tilt and head tilt is pretty standard with adjustable beds, the pillow tilt is a nice added function; you can sit upright to read or watch TV, but you have your head supported, without having to adjust the rest of the bed set up. Pillow tilting is also extremely useful if you suffer from neck pain.

Next, this model gives you four programmable memory positions. This means you aren’t restricted by the preset programs from the manufacturer, such as the fully flat or zero gravity preset but can choose and set your own positions. So if you only want to elevate your head a few degrees, or have your legs raised while watching tv, you can do it.

This bed is available in a Queen version or a Split King design. The Split King means that you can control the two sides of the bed independently, so you and your partner can have different configurations, alarms, and massage settings.

Leggett and Platt have created a technology called the MicroHook retention system, which takes the place of typical retainer bars. Retainer bars are used to prevent a mattress from slipping when the head is raised, so are very useful, but they can get in the way, especially when changing the bedsheets. The MicroHook retention system means there are no bars, but instead, there are two large fabric strips on the base that will hold the mattress in place. They operate much like Velcro.

Linked to this stability feature is the wall hugger design of the Leggett & Plat. With this design, the bottom half of the bed slides upwards towards the head when you raise it, rather than the headboard sliding forward. As a result, no matter what position you are in, you will remain close to the wall and your bedside table.

Now, if you are a lover of technology, there are a few features that are not essential for an adjustable bed but may be appreciated! You get four USB ports on either side of the bed, so connectivity should never be a problem, a built-in vibrating alarm, and under-bed lighting. And all of these can be controlled by the Android or iOS app or the included wireless remote.

Other functions that are worth noting are the anti-snore button, which places the bed in the position thought to minimize snoring, whisper-quiet motors, adjustable legs, and three-speed full-body massaging.

The Leggett & Platt is an impressive adjustable bed with more bells and whistles than you probably need on a regular basis. You may think that it isn’t overly attractive, and this is because it is designed to be placed inside a panel bed frame, so the headboard and side-rails will cover all the ugly mechanics, but it will still be fully functional.

As with the Prodigy 2.0, the Reverie 7S Adjustable Bed has a generous range of features. This is a product that is well suited to our wireless environment – you receive a wireless remote which can be linked to a table or phone either with the app or Bluetooth technology, which will let you adjust most features.

With this remote, you will find three pre-programmed positions which are flat, zero gravity, and anti-snore, plus two programmable positions so you can configure your own sleeping or sitting positions. Also, pre-programmed in this bed are three massage wave modes, and you can alter the intensity of each of these to suit your comfort. You can even select if you want the massage to be activated at your feet and head at the same time, or pick just one of these.

The Reverie 7s also has a whisper-quiet motor, and this will cut off with a safety stop if there is a weight overload. The maximum recommended weight is 850lbs. This product has adjustable legs, but you should note that this means it can be set in one of three positions; 3.5 inches, 5 inches, or 8.inches, nothing in between.

As with many of the other newer designs of adjustable beds, this has a wall snuggle or wall-hugging design, so you don’t find yourself creeping away from the wall and your nightstand when you adjust your position. The four corner retainer bars will also keep the mattress in place, and the whole bed is designed to fit inside an existing bed frame to make it look more attractive. It is compatible with most mattresses, although memory foam constructions are preferred.

The Reverie 7S comes with a 20year limited warranty and is available in King or Queen sizes. Note that the queen size has under-bed lighting, but only one remote, whereas the King size gives you two remotes. It comes pre-assembled, so you just need to add the legs and retainer bars before use.

This is another offering from Leggett and Platt, packaged up under the Fashion Bed Group subsidy, so many of the features may look similar to the Prodigy 2.0 adjustable bed.

The S-Cape 2.0 Adjustable Bed is designed to minimize snoring and promote a healthy sleeping position and posture, with easy to use controls. The back-lit wireless remote can be used on its own or paired with an app so you can control the bed from your phone or tablet, whichever you prefer. This bed has two pre-programmed settings; one with full body massage and one with a Snore button which will raise the head slightly, allowing your airways to open more and thus reduce snoring. Additionally, you can set two of your programs to meet your ideal position. The maximum weight capacity is 850lbs and the queen version of this bed weights 200lbs itself. You may want to consider how you are going to get it into place before you order it especially as it comes pre-assembled; all you have to do is add the legs and put batteries in the remote. As with other models from Leggett and Platt, this has the MicroHook system, which uses strips similar to Velcro instead of retainer bars to keep the mattress in place.

The S-Cape 2.0 adjusts both the head and feet, but it doesn’t have a pillow tilt feature to use when sitting up, but it does have a massage function with numerous settings. You can choose between options such as vibrating feet, vibrating head, wave feet, wave head, and feet, etc. This is a very pleasant feature after a hard day’s work. This bed has a wall hugger design to stop you from moving away from your nightstand when you are in an inclined position, and it is designed to fit inside bed frames.

Most mattresses will be compatible with this, from pocket sprung or hybrid version to memory foam constructions, but not all mattresses will work with the Microhook strips due to their outer material. If they don’t stick, you may need to get mattress retainer bars to hold everything in place.

The Serta Motion Essentials Adjustable Bed is a great option if you want a model without all the bells and whistles. It is also a fraction of the cost of some of the more advanced models. With the queen size, you get one wireless remote that allows you to adjust the head and foot of the mattress very easily. You can synchronize two bases with one remote, but that is not necessary as this model is not a queen split design.

There are two preset programs with this bed; the fully flat function and the zero-gravity function. Both of these are activated with just one touch. The zero gravity option will move your legs to be higher than your heart which should reduce the pressure on your lower back and encourage better circulation. There is no option to add any of your own programs, but you can adjust the head and foot elevation as much or as little as you want. You just can’t store your setting in the memory.

The Serta Motion Essentials has a mattress retainer bar and is compatible with most mattress types. The motor is also relatively quiet, so you will barely notice the noise when you make adjustments. It can fit inside a bed frame, and the feet can be adjusted between one and eight inches for a perfect fit.

The Sealy Ease 3.0 Power Adjustable Bed gives you a great deal of flexibility to find the positions that give you the best night’s sleep. The backlit wireless remote is easy to find and use in the dark, and it has four preset options, including the zero gravity option. You cannot program any additional setting, but you can adjust your head and foot positions as much as you like. There is no app or Bluetooth compatibility with this bed.

This adjustable foundation is one of the easiest to set up and also the lightest, at only 132lbs. This is great if you think you will have limited support to set it up or move it around. To help it fit flush inside a bed frame is has adjustable legs and a mattress retainer bar at the end of the unit. There is also a classic grey fabric on the base, which makes it one of the more attractive designs.

The overall weight capacity of the Sealy Ease 3.0 is 650lbs, and it comes with a 15-year guarantee.

The Classic Brands Comfort Upholstered Adjustable Bed gives you six programmable positions, so you can rest, sleep, watch tv or read in ways that support your spinal alignment and circulation while reducing pressure on your joints. The preset zero gravity function simulates weightlessness for enhanced comfort.

While there is no Bluetooth or app to accompany the remote, you do get a lot of functionality from it. You can adjust the head and foot, set it to one of your unique programs, switch to the preset TV, anti-snore or zero-gravity positions, and activate the massage. There is the option to have a foot and head massage, or just one at a time, with a choice of three different speeds.

This base has two USB ports for convenient charging of your devices, and it is compatible with memory foam, gel foam, hybrid and innerspring mattresses. The mattress retention rail will hold these in place, and the total weight capacity, including the mattress, is 660lbs.

The Classic Brands option does have a whisper-quiet motor, adjustable legs, and an attractive charcoal fabric finish, although it will look even better inside a bed frame, this isn’t necessary.

There is no wall-hugging design with this adjustable base, so when you are in the upright position, you will not be lined up to your bedside cabinet.

The Twin XL Design of the Lucid L300 Adjustable Bed means that you can configure this adjustable bed in two ways. Either you can buy and sync two twin bases and place a king-size mattress on this, so it moves like a king adjustable bed, or you can use two twin mattresses and operate them independently, like a split-king. Whichever configuration you choose, you get the same features. This product works with a spring, hybrid, and memory foam mattress, and the base has a ten-year limited warranty. This is shorter than several other brands but still reassuring.

The Lucid L300 gives you independent head and foot inclines, a wireless remote with a programmable memory button, and two USB charging stations on both sides of the base. There are also several health benefits reported with this base, many of which apply to adjustable beds generally, but they are worth pointing out.

Firstly, it can relieve back pain by minimizing the pressure on your joints by elevating you slightly. Next, if you are pregnant, this bed is very easy to sit on, and then adjust to your preferred position, without having to haul yourself around. Lastly, by inclining the angle of your head by just a few inches, you can improve your digestion, minimize acid reflux, and improve your airflow, thus reducing snoring.

The maximum weight of the Lucid L300 is 750lbs, and its actual weight is 118lbs, but bear in mind this is for one twin base.

The Hofish Adjustable Bed is very easy to assemble, as you need to unfold it and attach the legs, then it is ready for use. As it is more affordable than many of the other brands, you will find that it does have a few less adjustable bed features, however, it has some added touches that might surprise you.

There are three preset memory positions; zero gravity position, lying flat, and TV watching, plus two memory positions that you can customize as you wish. The customizable programs are usually a feature reserved for higher-priced adjustable bases. With this bed, you will also get anti-crushing technology, which is not often found on adjustable beds. This works by sensing if something, such as a piece of clothing, a pet, or your hand is in the way, and stops raising or lowing the base.

There is no massage feature with this bed, nor is there a wall hugger design or pillow tilt function, but these may not be necessary for everyone.

The Hofish has a quiet operating motor and can support a weight of up to 750lbs (including a mattress), plus it has adjustable legs. On the edge of the frame, you will find a pocket to store the wireless remote control so you don’t lose it, and close to this pocket, there are also USB ports – two on each side. This could be one of the top adjustable bed models in the entry-level market.
