Thinking about upgrading to an adjustable bed but unsure if your current mattress will fit?
As the owner of Mattress On Demand, this is one question I hear a lot. And honestly, it makes sense—no one wants to spend money on something only to discover it doesn’t work well together. Let's clear up the confusion.
Adjustable beds offer fantastic comfort options. Whether you're watching TV, reading, or just relaxing after a busy day, being able to adjust the bed can change your whole sleep experience. Many people find relief from snoring, acid reflux, and even circulation problems. I've personally seen customers amazed at how much their sleep improves after switching.
Here's a great breakdown from the Sleep Foundation explaining how adjustable beds help with sleep issues.
Not every mattress is suited for an adjustable base. The type of mattress matters a lot. Let's walk through the most common types and their compatibility.
Memory foam is perfect for adjustable bases. It flexes smoothly and retains comfort, no matter how often you change positions. Plus, it molds to your body, which feels amazing after a long day. You can check out our memory foam collection for some great choices.

Latex mattresses work wonderfully as well. They're flexible, durable, and adapt easily to adjustable beds. If you prefer a natural mattress, latex is the way to go. Have a look at our natural latex mattress selection.

Hybrid mattresses can be a bit tricky. They mix foam or latex with coils. Those coils need to be individually wrapped (pocketed coils) to move independently and work well on adjustable bases. I've noticed customers really like the support and comfort hybrids offer. Here's a guide I created on choosing between hybrid and memory foam mattresses.

I usually recommend avoiding traditional innerspring mattresses with adjustable beds. They're generally too rigid and can easily become damaged if bent frequently. Even if you can technically put one on an adjustable frame, it's likely to decrease the mattress's lifespan significantly. Here’s more info from Consumer Reports on why that's not ideal.
Simply put, these aren't compatible. Airbeds and waterbeds just aren't designed to bend or flex like you'd need on an adjustable base. Stick to more flexible materials like memory foam or latex.
Beyond just the mattress type, thickness also plays a role. Usually, mattresses between 10 to 14 inches thick work best. Too thick, and your mattress might not bend properly. Too thin, and comfort might suffer. This Sleep Advisor guide explains it well.
The adjustable base itself also matters. Quality bases offer smoother motion and better support. At Mattress On Demand, I always recommend starting with a quality base to avoid headaches later. Take a look at our selection of adjustable bases.

I've been reading some concerns online about mattresses getting damaged when used on adjustable bases. This usually happens when the wrong type of mattress, typically an innerspring, is used. I agree with many of the points raised in those discussions. Choosing the right mattress from the start prevents unnecessary wear and tear.
If you're unsure, it helps to speak with a sleep consultant. I have a dedicated team ready to help you make the right choice—whether it's from my store or not. It's important you get what's right for your sleep needs.
You can always contact us to get personalized recommendations or if you just want some questions answered.
Ultimately, choosing the right mattress for your adjustable bed comes down to the materials and thickness. Memory foam and latex mattresses are almost always safe bets. Hybrid mattresses can work great as long as the coils are individually pocketed.
