6 Best Mattresses For Adjustable Beds: What Works Best?

The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress is made with three layers of foam, plus a quilted cooling Tencel cover that draws heat away from your body. It is designed as a medium-firm mattress, giving you a great level of balance, support, and pressure point relief. It is suitable for use on all bed frames, including an adjustable base, and comes in six different sizes including Twin XL and California King.

This product includes two layers of viscoelastic foam, which are Certipur certified and designed to minimize motion transfer. So, if you have a partner who moves around a lot in their sleep, they should no longer disturb you thanks to the absorbing qualities of this high-density foam.

The mattress’s middle foam layer is an adaptive response transition layer, which is designed to stop sinkage even while it relieves pressure on your joints. There is a bottom mattress cover with this model that encases all the foam layers, and this should be compatible with most bars or grips on an adjustable frame, so it won’t slip around.

The Nectar Memory Foam mattress comes in the format of a bed in a box, and once fully expanded, it will measure 25cm (10inches) in depth. It measures 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale so will suit most sleep positions, unless you need a particularly soft plus finish. Included with this mattress are a 365-night sleep trial and a forever warranty.

The Saatva Classic Mattress is available in eight different sizes, including two split versions, and three different firmness levels; Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm, so you are likely to find a model that meets your requirements. The Plush measures 3 out of 10 on the firmness scale, which is great for side sleepers and anyone who wants a soft, hugging sleep surface. The Luxury Firm measures between 5 and 7 on the firmness scale, and it is the most popular choice as it suits all sleeping positions. The Firm mattress rates an 8 on the scale and is preferred by stomach sleepers or anyone who likes to feel as though they are lying on top of the mattress rather than being slightly cocooned.

The Saatva mattress offers a balance of comfort and support, and you will find it is compatible with all adjustable bases, as well as all other bed frames. You should note that this particular mattress comes with white glove delivery and fully expanded, which is now quite rare as most are delivered in a box, so you should plan for the logistics of this. You don’t want a large mattress to arrive but be unable to get it into the desired place.

Regardless of which firmness level you select, you will find a three-inch Euro pillow top with thick cushioning that is wrapped in organic cotton covering. Not only does this provide a high level of comfort, feeling soft around your joints, but it has also been made with antimicrobial treatment for extra hygiene. For added durability, there is also high-density foam around the perimeter to prevent sagging on the edges or the mattress from becoming misshaped when adjusted. The steel support coils further enhance the durability of the base of the mattress.

Within the Saatva hybrid bed, you get more than 800 individual springs designed in a dual coil system, so it responds to your body movements while also allowing for airflow to maintain coolness. The added layers of memory foam create spinal zone technology, which will give you enhanced pressure relief and back support combined with an adjustable base. A fifteen-year warranty is included with this mattress.

Casper Collection Mattresses are available in either a full foam or hybrid option. Casper is a well-reputed brand, and the Wave Hybrid is one of their flagship products and their most expensive option. It includes gel pods for extra support around the lower back and is deeper than most mattresses, so extra-large sheets are needed. The Nova Hybrid is a less advanced version that still gives you a great combination of and support, and the Original remains the most popular item, available made completely from memory foam or as a hybrid model. The Original is more than adequate to give you a great night’s sleep on all adjustable bases.

The hybrid configurations give you a higher degree of firmness, so they are best suited for those who sleep on their front or looking for a firm surface. The foam version allows you to sink a little further, offering higher pressure point relief, and is preferred by side or combination sleepers. There are three support zones with both options, plus a level of polyurethane foam on the top, which is breathable and helps to keep you cool during the night. This top layer of Airscape foam doesn’t retain heat like many traditional memory foam options.

In the Casper mattresses center, the memory foam is divided into different zoned sections; slightly softer areas positioned around shoulder level, an increased firmness around the hip area, and then another slightly softer area for the lower legs. This design aims to keep your spine well-aligned regardless of your sleeping position and remain active when adjusting your bed into various positions.

Depending on which mattress construction you choose, your base will be made from thick foam or with multiple resilient springs. If you or your partner move a lot in bed, then the memory foam mattress will be the best option as it has marginally better motion isolation. However, if either of you has a heavier frame, the best selection will be the hybrid model. All versions come in six sizes and are compatible with all bed bases. All Casper mattresses come with a 100-night trial period plus a ten-year warranty.

Another of the best mattresses for adjustable beds from Saatva, the Loom and Leaf Memory Foam Mattress is made entirely from foam. Like Saatva’s other beds, it is available in a range of eight sizes, all compatible with adjustable beds, and comes with white glove delivery, not rolled in a box. This mattress is available in medium-firm or firm levels; the medium-firm rates between 5 and 7, and the firm rates 8 out of 10. The medium-firm is the most popular and versatile.

The Loom and Leaf has a 100% quilted organic cotton cover, that is hypoallergenic and has gone through an antimicrobial treatment to minimize the number of allergens that may accumulate over time. This cover is soft and highly breathable for added comfort. Beneath this cover is a layer of gel-infused foam that keeps you cool and maintains an optimal body temperature throughout the night.

The 5lb high-density memory foam provides exceptional support and pressure point relief in this mattress. It is this high-density that prevents it from being squeezed into a box for delivery. It does, however, make it durable for use on an adjustable bed base. At the bottom of this mattress, you get additional layers of foam for added stability and edge support. Loom and Leaf offer a fifteen-year warranty and a 180-night sleep trial with their mattresses.

The Hybrid Latex Mattress from Nest Bedding comes in seven different sizes, ranging from twin and twin XL all the way up to a split California king. The split model allows you to have different feels on either side of the mattress.

This is a true hybrid mattress, with numerous different layers giving you the best of foam, innerspring, and latex mattresses. The base is made with support foam and on top of this is a layer of 16 gauge Pocketed Support Coils with reinforced edge support. Added to this are layers of natural Dunlop latex and eco-friendly comfort foam and quilting foam, all wrapped in organic knit cotton and Joma wool. The Nest Bedding Natural Hybrid Latex mattress rates a level five on the firmness scale, meaning it has a medium firmness suitable for all sleeping styles and positions. A firm and soft option is also available if you require it.

This bed style has been designed to minimize the amount of mattress waste that gets deposited in landfill sites each year. The layers are inside a zipped cover, and when undone you can remove one layer at a time, so when a comfort layer starts to wear down, you can simply replace one layer, rather than disposing of the whole mattress. And, as you have a 100night sleep trial, you can adjust these comfort layers’ firmness to find your perfect feel. You can also replace the comfort foam at any time to extend the lifespan of the mattress.

This mattress for an adjustable bed comes as a bed in a box format, so you will need to stand back when you open up the box to allow it to expand. It should be noted that latex is notoriously heavy, and when it is combined with pocketed coils this will make the mattress somewhat difficult to move. It does come with four handles fitted so you can move it around, but it will still take some effort! The latex has been aired out before being put in the box, so you won’t get a strong odour when you unpack it like some boxed mattresses. The Natural Hybrid Latex mattress includes a lifetime limited warranty.

The DreamFoam Copper Dreams Mattress from Brooklyn Bedding is another adjustable bed mattress with full-foam construction. It combines memory foam comfort with the cooling features of graphite and copper. This mattress is a great option for those who suffer from pressure points pain but who get too hot sleeping on a traditional memory foam mattress.

With this mattress, there is a smooth top weave sitting above four main layers. The first memory foam layer is designed to draw heat away from the body thanks to its copper-infused gel, which helps to maintain your optimal body temperature. The next layer below the copper infusion is made from soft memory foam, which provides relief on pressure points around your hips and shoulders. Next, there is a layer of two-inch intermediate foam, followed by a denser six-inch foundation foam layer.

The Copper Dreams mattress is available in six sizes plus a split California king, all of which work on adjustable bed frames. There are also two different firmness levels to choose from. The 12-inch firm support type of mattress is best for stomach sleepers, while the 13-inch medium-firm option is better for side, back, or combination sleeping positions. Both types have good edge support and minimize motion transfer.

To make sure you select the right size and firmness level, this mattress comes with a 120-night trial period, so you can test it out to ensure it is the best fit for your adjustable bed frames.
