Adjustable Bed Buying Guide
First, what is an adjustable bed?
An adjustable bed is a remote-operated platform that allows you to control the elevation of your head and feet. You can imagine the benefits of adjusting your sleeping position to alleviate back or neck pain. An adjustable bed marks an improvement in lifestyle and sleep comfort.
How to choose the right adjustable bed
-
1. Determine the Size of Bed You Want
Adjustable beds come in a variety of sizes. Often, for king and California king size beds, you’ll notice that the base is made up of two separate units. Although you can operate both sides simultaneously, this allows you and your partner to adjust each side independently (with a compatible mattress). It also is designed to help distribute weight and movement to ensure motor longevity.

2. Compare Adjustable Bed Features
We offer a carefully selected range of models with a variety of feature sets to meet the needs of our diverse customers.
From Full Featured…The Prodigy adjustable bed by Leggett & Platt is for when nothing but the best will do. This model offers the widest range of features starting from a wave massage all the way to the ability to control your bed with an iPhone. It’s these features that set the Prodigy adjustable bed apart from the rest as a luxury lifestyle upgrade.
…to Basic…Our Ergo Pursuit is equipped with a wired remote and does not include massage or other features like the Prodigy. However, it does present a practical feature set that maintains the basic feature of an adjustable bed at a lower cost.
…and Everything in between.If you're looking for a combination of both features and value, the Ergo Invincible is hard to beat. It's our most popular model because of the smart features like a wireless remote and massage along with a reassuring 20 year warranty.
Adjustable beds differentiate themselves based on features and price. These features are important in determining your experience with the product.
- Wireless vs. Wired Remote
- Massage Features
- Remote Features (Zero-Gravity Position, Memory Presets, iPhone app)
- Compatibility with an existing bed frame

3. Check and Compare the Warranty
A little searching and reading can save you from headache down the road. For example, our Ergo Pursuit and Ergo Invincible both are supported by a 20 year warranty while The Leggett & Platt models have a limited lifetime warranty.

4. Finally... don’t forget the mattress
Keep in mind that the adjustable base is only one part of your sleep experience. You’ll want to find an appropriate mattress to place on top of the adjustable base to satisfy your comfort needs. Not all mattresses are compatible either. For example, a coil spring mattress will – due to its construction – not be able to contour with the angles of the adjustable base.
