This means you’ll still be able to easily reach your nightstand next to you with the head of the bed raised, making this an A+ choice if you have any mobility limitations.
Reviewers rave about the Amerisleep’s ability to combat back pain, as well as its high quality and comfort. They also say the frame helps ease symptoms of certain conditions, like sleep apnea and heartburn.
Some say that the frame doesn’t hug the wall as closely as they’d hoped, and others wish it came with zero-gravity capabilities. Delivery times may also take longer than expected (even in pre-pandemic times) and Amerisleep’s 10-year warranty only covers certain parts of the bed frame.

Hot tips for bed frame shopping
Some general tips for bed hunting:
- Choose reputable manufacturers. You want product and policy transparency. It’s a red flag if they don’t provide product specs or contact numbers up front.
- Look for product warranties. Check out the manufacturer’s warranty for what is and isn’t covered — and for how long. Also make sure your warranty isn’t affected by what mattress you have.
- Read reviews. Check out what others are saying about the adjustable frame. If too many of the comments are negative, steer clear!
- Price. Have a price in mind. If your budget runs a bit tighter, consider a frame with fewer bells and whistles to meet your needs.
- Noise. Real talk: adjustable beds can be squeaky and creaky. While newer models are becoming increasingly quieter, you’ll still want to consider how loud you’re willing your bed to be — especially if you or your bedmate are a super light sleeper.
- Remote. Almost all of our selections come with a wireless remote control, but some adjustable bed frames do come with corded remotes. Others even have an option to use an app on your smartphone. Consider which option is best for your needs when selecting a frame.
- Mattress compatibility. Not all mattresses will work with an adjustable frame (*cough* innersprings *cough*). Consider the type of mattress you have or are willing to purchase when deciding which frame to get. Also, keep in mind that some frames are only compatible with mattresses of the same brand, so be sure to do your homework!
- Features. Consider what’s on your “must have” list when looking for an adjustable bed. Want zero gravity features, but don’t care for under-bed lights? There’s a frame for that! Keep in mind, if an unnecessary feature bumps up the cost beyond your budget, it’s OK to look elsewhere.
- Assembly. Some manufacturers offer assembly options (either free or for a fee), while others brands provide DIY instructions, so it’s important to consider what works best for you. Where you’re planning to put your bed can also play a role in whether or not you want an expert to put your frame together, as carrying it up stairs or assembling in a tight space might be tough to do on your own.
- Weight. This is two-fold. Not only should you consider the weight of the frame itself — along with the mattress — and if it’s compatible with your home (we see you, apartment dwellers!), but also the bed’s max weight capacity, to ensure it works for you and any bedfellows you may have.
Benefits of adjustable bed frames
There’s plenty to consider before making the switch from static to adjustable. Like, are you a stomach sleeper? Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you like to Netflix and chill from the couch or your bed?
Here are some of major perks of adjustable bed frames:
- Relieve sleep apnea. Research shows that an elevated sleep position can significantly improve the effects of this sleep disorder. But keep in mind that an adjustable bed frame is *not* a replacement for medical care — you should work with a doctor to manage this condition.
- Soothe acid reflux, asthma, or snoring. Simply sleeping in an upright position can ease your symptoms.
- Ease back pain. Adjustable beds improve spine alignment, meaning you might wake up pain-free!
- Curb insomnia. Adjustable beds put your body in the best, comfiest, most aligned position for a dreamy trip to slumberland.
- Improve circulation. Yes, really! Elevating your legs can improve circulation, which could help prevent cramps and blood clots.
While there are many benefits, there are also a few drawbacks to think about, including:
- Cost. Adjustable frames tend to be more expensive, especially if you want extra features like massage and temperature control.
- Mattress compatibility. Latex and memory foam mattresses work best for adjustable frames. You *might* have trouble with a hybrid or innerspring mattress.
- Noise. Some frame motors are louder than others, so check the specs and user reviews before buying!
Adjustable base FAQs
What’s the best type of mattress for an adjustable bed?
While most mattresses can be compatible with an adjustable frame, memory foam and latex mattresses usually work best. You can also go for an adjustable air mattress (like a Sleep Number) for allll around adjustability.
Hybrid and innerspring mattresses don’t always offer the flexibility needed to adjust properly.
Pro tip: Most manufacturers will provide info on what types of mattress are (and aren’t!) compatible on the frame’s production description online.
Are adjustable beds expensive?
Yes, they can be — especially if you want a larger size (queen or above) and bonus features, like temp control, built-in USB ports, wireless capabilities, or other upgrades. For our peeps on a budget (*raises hand*), many brands offer sweet sales throughout the year or payment plans to make buying breezier.
Are adjustable beds worth it?
Honestly, it depends on what your needs are. If you’ve got back problems, are a snorer, or experience sleep apnea or acid reflux, then an adjustable bed may be worth its hefty price tag. But those who aren’t looking for any bells and whistles or who prefer their standard bed may not want to make the investment. Just like choosing a mattress, choosing a frame is a personal choice, and you need to decide if it’s worth it for YOU.
Do I need to get an adjustable bed frame from the same company as my mattress?
Not always. While many brands may try to upsell you on their mattresses, most adjustable frames can be used by any mattress (at least, any foam, latex, or hybrid). Some frames (or their warranties), however, are only compatible with mattresses from the same company, so be sure to research exactly what kinds of mattress your frame of choice requires before buying.
Do I need special bedding for an adjustable bed?
You can generally use standard sheets on an adjustable bed, but you’ll want to anchor your bedding before you adjust your bed so the sheets stay on. You can do this by securely tucking the edges of your sheets under the mattress, or you can opt for elastic sheet “suspenders” for extra support.
What’s a “split” adjustable bed?
Split adjustable beds are exactly what they sound like: a bed that’s split down the middle, allowing each half of the bed to be adjusted on its own. Split options are great for couples who have different sleep needs, so that each person can customize their side to their liking.
Keep in mind, split options often only come in king and California king sizes, though some companies do carry a split queen size.
tl;dr
Whether you’re looking to soothe back pain, relieve snoring, or get comfier when reading in bed, an adjustable bed frame can help.
There are many adjustable bed frames on the market. Do your research and look for an adjustable frame that meets your needs, preferences, and budget.
