About Adjustable Bases

What the positions actually do

  • Head elevation of six to nine inches is the standard recommendation for snoring and nighttime reflux, and it is far easier to sleep in than a stack of pillows.
  • Leg elevation reduces swelling and takes load off the lumbar spine, which is why it helps people who stand all day.
  • Zero gravity puts the torso and legs slightly above the heart, the position NASA identified as the lowest-stress posture for the spine. It is the setting most owners end up using every night.
  • Independent split-king sides let two people choose different positions on the same bed, which is the most common reason couples upgrade.

Choosing between the ranges

BedTech covers the practical end. The BT2000 at $799 and BT2500 at $899 give head and foot articulation, USB ports and a wireless remote; the BT6500 at $1,399 adds massage and preset positions. If you want the function without paying for app control, this is the sensible range.

Baselogic sits in the middle, from the Silver at $599 up to the Platinum at $1,099, adding features tier by tier. Tempur-Pedic Ergo is the premium option: the Ergo Power Base at $1,499, the Ergo Smart Base at $1,899, and the ProSmart at $2,399 with automatic snore response that detects snoring and raises the head without waking anyone.

Will your mattress work on one?

Nearly all modern mattresses will. Every all-foam and hybrid bed we sell is designed to flex, so anything from our foam or hybrid ranges pairs without issue. Traditional one-sided innerspring mattresses with a rigid border rod are the exception and should not be forced onto a base. If you are unsure about a mattress you already own, bring the model name in and we will tell you plainly.

If you are replacing the mattress at the same time, it is usually cheaper to buy both together, and luxury mattresses and premium mattresses are where base pairings are most often bundled. Sleeping hot on an adjustable base is a common complaint that has nothing to do with the base itself, so look at cooling mattress upgrades or the cooling mattress range if that applies to you.

Try one in Katy, Richmond or Rosenberg

Descriptions of adjustable bases are close to useless. Lie on one, find zero gravity, and you will know within a minute whether it is worth it to you. They are on the floor at our Richmond showroom and Katy showroom, and our delivery team sets the base up and removes the old foundation. Financing is available.

Questions, answered

Are adjustable bases compatible with most mattresses?
Most memory foam, latex and hybrid mattresses flex on an adjustable base without any trouble, and that covers nearly everything we sell. A traditional one-piece innerspring with a rigid border is the exception, because it is built not to bend. A few individual pairings are ruled out by the maker, so check the product page or ask a coach before you order.
Is there an adjustable base that only raises the head?
Two of them. The BedTech BTHU raises the head only, with no foot lift and no presets, and one adult can assemble it in minutes. The Beautyrest Baselogic Bronze also adjusts at the head, with a wired remote and a zero-clearance design that drops inside a bed frame you already own. Both come in queen, so they pair with your current mattress.
Which adjustable base helps with snoring?
Raising the head a few degrees is the part that helps, so any base here can do it manually. Two do it for you: the TEMPUR-Ergo Smart Base and ProSmart Base detect snoring and raise the head about twelve degrees in response. The BedTech BT2500 has an anti-snore preset on the remote, and the BT3000 and X5 add a zero-gravity preset.
Which bases have a zero-gravity preset?
Zero gravity raises your head and legs together so your weight spreads out and pressure points stop registering. In this collection the TEMPUR-Ergo Power Base and the EASE base both have the preset, the Naturepedic Conductor calls it Zero-G, BedTech puts it on the X5 and BT3000, and Beautyrest Baselogic has it on the Pearl and Platinum.
Are adjustable beds a good idea for seniors?
They help most with the two hardest parts of an ordinary bed: getting upright and getting out of it. Head elevation makes reading and television comfortable and eases reflux, and leg lift takes load off the lower back. For simplicity look at the one-touch flat button on the BedTech BT2000, BT2500 and BT3000 and the EASE base; the BT2000 and BT2500 drop flat on battery in a power cut.
Do adjustable bases come in split king?
Yes, every base in this collection is available in split king, which is two twin XL bases and two twin XL mattresses so each side raises independently. The BedTech range goes further with split head, split top and half split sizes in queen, king and California king, which lets one person sit up without moving the other side of the bed at all.
Can I try an adjustable base before buying one?
Yes, and it is worth doing. The bases are set up on the floor with mattresses on them in Richmond, Katy and Rosenberg, so you can work the remote yourself. How quiet the motor is and how it feels to sit up in are the two things people actually judge a base on, and neither shows up on a spec sheet. Open Monday to Saturday 10-6, Sunday 12-5.
