We all want to enjoy restful sleep night after night, but it's not easy for everybody. If you're used to piling up the bed pillows behind your head in order to find your most comfortable angle, only to wake up with a persistently aching neck, you may want to consider getting an adjustable bed frame.

These types of bed frames allow you to sleep perfectly flat or with your back and legs raised in a cradled position.

Best Adjustable Bed Frames

    Can anybody use an adjustable bed frame?

    While sleeping slightly propped up can be necessary for people with disabilities or those who are recovering from an injury, it can also be helpful for those who experience acid reflux and sleep apnea. But as long as you feel properly supported (and have verified with your doctor that it's safe), you really don't need a specific reason to swap to an adjustable bed frame if an inclined sleep position works for you. It's an added benefit to a bed base that, when completely flat, you'd never be able to tell is any different at all.

    What to Consider

    Special features

    The main differentiating factors between adjustable bed frames are the special features each one offers. If qualities like snore-sensing, USB ports, underbed lights, and massage functionality would enhance your sleep experience, you can opt for models that have these ... and much more. Basic bases may not look as nice or function as seamlessly as top-of-the-line models, but they may save you a few hundred bucks.

    Mattress compatibility

    While adjustable bed frames can cost almost as much as a new mattress, the good news is that you can use them with your existing mattress (as long as it's not an innerspring type or a waterbed). However, because of the motorized functionality of these bedding units, you'll want to make sure that your adjustable frame can be situated near a wall plug.

    Delivery options

    It's also worth considering whether a brand offers white-glove delivery. Adjustable bed bases are heavy, and they usually require two people to lift and maneuver into a bedroom. We've denoted which brands in this guide offer this service for free or for an additional fee.

    Warranty and trial period

    Just as you should with a mattress purchase, always check the warranty and trial period offered for any adjustable bed frame you're considering. In the event that they malfunction within a certain timeframe, a warranty may cover a repair or replacement of the product.

    We also suggest timing your adjustable base purchase with any upcoming sales holidays. Mattress retailers almost always feature deep discounts on their bases around holiday weeks throughout the year, and you may even be able to score a great deal on a bedding bundle or new mattress, if you're in the market for one.

    How We Chose

    Our criteria for choosing the adjustable bed bases in this guide include their range of sizes, aesthetics, ease of adjusting, reviewer feedback, and product warranty and trial period. We also took into account any special features that the bases offer. Some adjustable bed frames are built to be used in tandem with a specific brand's mattress, but for this guide, we've opted not to include those.

    Pricing Note: Many of these adjustable bed frames are available in a range of sizes, but we've listed the queen-sized price for all here.

    Read on to learn more about these 11 adjustable bed frames, and get ready to enjoy more restful (and snore-free) nights. If you still have lingering questions, be sure to check out the FAQ section at the bottom of this guide.

    Pros
    • Fully customizable settings
    • Free shipping
    • App and smart speaker compatibility
    Cons
    • Expensive
    • No trial period

    This adjustable bed from Amerisleep isn't cheap, but it packs a lot in terms of features, which is why we think it's the best choice overall.

    Controlled via remote, mobile app, or smart speaker, you can independently adjust the tilt of your head, legs, and even your neck if you want a slight articulation forward to read or watch TV. Your favorite presets can all be programmed, so it's as easy as pushing a button to get into your comfiest position. The base also includes four USB ports on either side of the frame.

    A few other special features help justify this base's premium-level cost. One is the Wallhugger technology that ensures that you stay in a parallel position with your nightstand, instead of propping you up and away from it. Another is the rolling full-body massage functionality that turns your mattress into a massage recliner. Finally, while this adjustable bed frame doesn't include a trial period, it includes shipping, and that's nothing to sleep on!

    Pros

    Cons
    • Some reviewers say that the two sides of the split king size aren't held together securely

    This adjustable bed frame may be basic, but it's affordable, and its Amazon reviewers are overwhelmingly satisfied. Available in a couple of different models, the e3 has the fewest special features, but still offers all of the baseline functionality of this product category.

    The unit comes with a wireless remote that controls head and foot levels independently, and it resets back to completely flat with the push of a button. Reviewers tout its easy setup (although it's a very heavy piece), and like that the leg height is also adjustable from 6, 9, and 12 inches high.

    Helix Adjustable Base

    Pros
    • Equipped with custom controls and massage modes
    Cons
    • Not ideal if you want split king versatility

    Helix's adjustable base — made by their manufacturing partner Ergomotion — offers many of the features of more premium models at a much lower price. The frame's utilitarian look comprises carbon steel, plastic, foam, and polyester upholstery.

    It includes a wireless remote that lifts the upper and lower body simultaneously or separately, and it even has three vibrational-massage intensity levels. We think this adjustable bed frame gives you the most bang for your buck, even if it's not the cheapest on this list.

    Note that Helix currently doesn't offer any split king bed frames, and for this reason, we think it's best for solo sleepers or for bed partners who both like to sleep in the same angled position. While you can buy two twin-size frames and situate both halves next to each other as a makeshift split king, you'll pay about $300 more than a non-split king frame if you go this route.

    If you’re looking to invest in an adjustable bed frame, but you want to stay on a budget, the Linenspa Adjustable Bed Base is for you. It includes a wired remote that allows you to raise and lower the head and foot sections independently.

    While many reviewers say that this is a basic, no-frills model, they also tout its easy assembly and its sturdy build for being just right for their needs.

    As one person says, “Very sturdy. Very straightforward assembly (realistically needs two people). Mechanism very quiet and smooth, and fully enclosed for protection. The remote is simple and has a hook for hanging out of the way. ”

    • Innerspring-compatible for mattresses up to 11.5 inches tall
    • White-glove delivery is included

    • No trial period offered; final sale only

    The Saatva Adjustable Base is equipped with independent head- and foot-raising controls, a remote with a built-in flashlight for easy nighttime illumination, and a silent internal motor. But it's especially notable that this model has removable legs that make its design versatile enough to be used with a platform base. Meaning, you won't need to ditch your old frame in order to upgrade to this one!

    Another perk is that this adjustable bed frame is innerspring mattress-compatible! You can pair it with the 11.5-inch Saatva Classic Luxury Hybrid Innerspring or nearly any hybrid or foam mattress without any issue.

    We like that the Bear Mattress Adjustable Flex Bed is equipped with lots of cool features that are actually really useful: height-adjustable legs, a wireless remote that doubles as a flashlight (!), a zero-gravity positioning preset along with two completely customizable presets, and an internal motor that's silent as it operates.

    While it's compatible with every mattress that Bear makes, you can easily swap in your own foam or hybrid model here, and the nonslip mattress guard will keep it right in place. Just keep in mind that there isn't a trial period offered on this base, and the warranty is an add-on fee.

    Pros
    • Upholstery and wooden legs look minimalist and chic
    • Option to add on a headboard or attach your own
    • Equipped with lighting and massage features
    Cons
    • Expensive

    In terms of looks, it's tough to find a nicer-looking adjustable bed frame than Avocado's. This base features GOTS-certified cotton and wool heathered gray upholstery, along with FSC-certified wooden legs for a sustainably made, clean-line aesthetic that goes wonderfully with its editor-favorite mattress.

    This brand also gives you the option to add a gorgeous reclaimed wood headboard with your order. Or, you can easily swap in one that you already own, thanks to its handy included brackets. It also has two USB ports on either side of the frame.

    The wireless remote lets you raise the head and foot levels independently or together for a zero-gravity position. The base is also equipped with lights underneath the frame that you can power on and off with the remote. One last standout feature is the vibrational, timed massage function for either your upper or lower body — you can choose from seven intensity levels for a soothing buzz before bed.

    The GhostBed Adjustable Base has a lot going for it, including independent head and leg adjustment, underbed lighting, and two USB ports on either side. Plus, the split king size comes with two wireless remotes.

    But if the massage functionality of other adjustable bases has you intrigued, this one is the standout of the bunch for having three different massage intensities that can be used independently on the upper and lower sections of the body. Users note that it's a soothing vibration that feels wonderful and relaxing when used in tandem with the zero-gravity position.

    Although there is no white-glove delivery service available for this product, the frame does come preassembled. Once you have it in your bedroom, it simply unfolds and locks into place.

    Pros

    Cons
    • No headboard bracket included in its top-tier price

    Casper offers three adjustable bed frames, each offering slightly more than the other. The basic Adjustable Base offers head and foot tilt, a programmable memory button, one leg-height option, and a zero-gravity feature, while the leveled-up Adjustable Base Pro has additional memory programs, two more leg-height options, an anti-snore feature, two-zone massage, and a USB port.

    But the Adjustable Base Max pictured here offers those same features along with wall-aligning technology, two more massage modes for the head and feet, and underbed lights for roughly $900 more than the Pro. And just like they do for their mattresses, Casper also offers a trial period on their adjustable bed frame that lasts 30 days.

    Pros
    • Comes with a 30-night trial
    • Fully loaded with smart features, massage functions, underbed lighting
    Cons
    • Some users say assembly can be tricky

    The Layla Adjustable Base comes in a standard and premium version — if you want all of the features that a base can offer, go with the Plus. You'll get total-bed adjustability, wall-hugging technology, underbed lighting, massage functionality, and built-in USB ports.

    Layla is a brand that seems to be constantly running promotions, so while the price of the base is comparable to its competitors, you can also add on a bedding bundle at a deep discount to fully outfit your bed. (We happen to love their kapok pillow and bamboo sheets.)

    Similar to the aforementioned Casper mattress in terms of features and 30-day trial period, the Layla Adjustable Base Plus has one thing that the Casper doesn't: smart capabilities. This bed frame can sync with its mobile app and/or with an Alexa- or Google Home-compatible device so you can make adjustments, even if the remote is out of reach.

    • White-glove assembly is included
    Cons

    Tempur-Pedic’s Ergo Extend Smart Base is pricey, but it's also one of the best you can buy: It not only boasts special features like four-zone massage options, USB ports, and underbed lighting, but it’s also built to cure your snoring.

    The shape of this adjustable base is more articulated than any other in this guide, featuring a Pillow Tilt function that can move your head slightly forward, even when you're lying back. Even better: This base comes with proprietary Sleeptracker AI that can sense when you start snoring and will respond accordingly by raising your back about 12 degrees.

    Similar to a fitness tracker (sans wristband), the Sleeptracker AI also provides you with lots of data regarding your movements and general comfort in the different phases of sleep. It even coaches you on the changes you should make for a better night's rest. Smart features aside, this adjustable bed frame is the absolute best in terms of customization options, letting you tweak the angle of your head, back, and legs to your exact liking.

    FAQs

    turquoise line break

    Q: Can I use my existing bed frame with an adjustable base?

    A: Yes. These adjustable bed bases are designed to sit inside an existing bed frame, so you don't have to remove or reattach your headboard. Just note that the interior platform and box frame (if any) will need to be removed from your existing bed frame.

    You can also use an adjustable base instead of a bed frame if you're completely starting over with a different mattress size.

    Q: Can I use my existing mattress with an adjustable base?

    A: In most cases, you should be able to use your current mattress with an adjustable base, just as long as it's a foam or hybrid mattress in the same size.

    If you own an innerspring mattress, you'll want to check with the mattress's manufacturer that its springs are flexible enough to accommodate being bent by the curve of an adjustable bed frame.

    Q: What is a split king bed?

    A: A split king comprises two twin-size mattresses on one frame, and each half of the bed can be raised and lowered independently from the other.

    It's a bit more of an investment — these bed frames tend to be the priciest, and you'll need to get two twin-sized sheet sets for each half. Plus, there's a small gap in the middle of the bed that you'll need to adjust to. However, a split king may be well worth it if you or your bed partner has specific medical needs and needs to sleep upright.

    Q: Why does the warranty matter?

    A: The warranty matters because, in the unlikely event that your adjustable bed frame's internal motor stops working, you may be able to get the product fixed or replaced for no charge — or just for the fee of the labor involved. Each brand has its own timeframe and stipulations, so make sure you're comfortable with the one you're committing to.
